J. M. WALLACE,
THE DEMOCRATIC FIGHT AND
NOMINATIONS.
The struggles for nominations in the
Democratic party of this county, which
was carried on with even more than
ordinary energy. and bitterness, termi
nated on Saturday. ItWas a long, fierce,
and in many respects disgraceful scram
ble, and every citizen of the county, in
cluding even_the_defeated candidates
rejoices that it is over. "Every town
ship and voting district was canvassed,
and every voter of Democratic proclivi
ties was forced to the polls. The entire
poll amounted to 3,997, which is
almost equal to the largest vote the
Democracy has over given, even at a
general election.
We have heard sonic stories relative
to the Democracy here, which wo propose
to give for what they are worth. It is
-saidTthat-for-a-Thilerthere-was-a-eoustl
erable trouble if, the minds of the leaders,
as to what constituted a man enough of a
Democrat to vote at a primary election.
It was proposed by a rather verdant
politician, that each voter should be re
quired to take an oath 'that he would
support the constitution of the Unifed
Stateslinil Tie "new departure." Thb
gentlemen ,f,who made this suggestion
was promptly put down, with the infor
mation that it standard of that kind
wouldn't leave men enough in the party
to make election officers of. Some other
gentleman had prepared the form of an.
oath to be administered, about as fol
fows
" You do swear by the ancient memories
and traditions ,:tf the Democratic party,
that you are now, always -have been,
and will forever be a DCmocrat ; that you
have never voted for a radical and never
will do so ; that you believe and sub
sci•ibe to all the platfornis and principles
of the Democratic party from the days
of Jackson to this-Ahne, Moro especially,
however, since the days, of Franklin
Pierce ; that you believe in tfiee justice,
policy, and divinity of the institution of
slavery; and the separate rights of the
States, particularly , in their right to se
cede ; that you aro opposed to all means
and measures that are intended to preserve
order and peace, particularly when the
disorderly persons are Democrats ; that.
you believe in the largest liberty of
speech, thought and action, except when
Radicals desire to think, speak or act ;
that in the recent difficulties in New York
you approve the course of Mayor Hall, in
suppressing the Orangemen, and of
Governor Hoffman in shooting down the
Irishmen ; that you endorse and ap
prove the expenditure of vast amounts
of money by the politicians of Now
York, in the fitting up of public build
ings, because that enables their politi
cians to steal enough of money, to
carry the election in , 'ennsylvania ;
that you believe in the superiority of
the white Mee, politically hnd other
wise, and that you believe, also, in the
new departure ; that you believe in
the paymentof the National debt, as it
is no .longer safe, politically, to talk of
its repudiation ; that you believe in
economy in State and local girt/eminent,
provided that doesn't prevent the build
ing of bridges, insane asylums, &e., for
the bonefit , ef officials when it may be
necessary to do so. And further, if
there is anything in this that will pre ;
vent you 'from voting at this primary
cleetion or any other, you are to take it
- with a huge mental reservation."
This oath was said to be favored by,
all the active politicians for Bonk time,
4but was finally dropped for the reason,
that the greater part it might be
forgotten, oven after ithad been taken.
As the machine was thus to be started
without preliminaries, the; voting on
Saturday was brisk from thcf beginning
to the close.

It is hard to toll exactly the signifl

the different rings of the partYrt'-eTlio

surprising that thin discovery should bo

ON Monday - the Thipublican County
Convention will meet lb Califslo7and we
ask our friends throughout the County
to see tt4t there is a'full representation
from each townshiPand voting district.
We need al. full Convention • of !Active,
faithful, and energetic Republicans, who
will not only put in tho field'a first-class
ticket, but who will also exert them
selves to perfect the organization of the
county, and keep the forces well in hand.
We threiv away u chance lask Fall to re

enough to make their managers put up

and lost us a fine

chance to do much good. They will

Chairman
A long string of resolutions was
passed eulogistic of the Democratic
party and its ^candidates, and denunci
_atory_aLtite.,_other_sido,but—they-wisoly-
steer clear of the new departuresbusiness.
It was supposed from the tone of the.
leading Democratic organ in that county,
that the Democrats there were fully up
to the advanced ideas of the party, but
c Conventioti seems to have ignored
the whole question. The Democratic
leaders evidently think that policy is
better than honesty.
"GCNEUAL WILLIAM MCCANDLESS is
a-man-of the-people,--Ho-ean to-day take
down a locomotive, and can refit and
equip it, and when thus refitted ho can
seize its lever, and with it safely draw a
train of cam over the heaviest grade."
Exchange.
This is wonderful. We imagine, of
course, that `the General can do all this
irrespective of the size of the engine, the,
elevation of the grade, or the weight
of the train. It is amazing, what
some gentleman can do, when their
friends have the statement of their ca
pacities. The GenCral will, however,
have a chance to test his powers. Ile is
engineer, at present, of the Demo
cratic party. That rickety old locomo
tive was taken apart when ho was,nomi
nated last Spring, reconstructed, cleaned
up, and''' . the 'General put aboard
to run the machine. If he don't find
out before October that he has a heavier
load, re steeper grade, and a poorer en
gine than lie ever ran during his days of
railroaging ; we will confess that we are
mistaken in the matter.
Pr is rather unfortunate that the De
mocracy of DlN:county do not hold con
ventions, in order that they might express
themselves op the political issues of (be
day. We would like to see the commo
tion which a new departure resolution
would produce in a Citinbeiland county
convention. ';,hen, too,-there would be
a fine chance to express the 'confidence
the Democracy have in the capacity and
integrity of the County Commissioners.
Indeed there are many interesting topics
for resolutions just at this time. But as
there are no conventions, there can be no
resolutions, and as silence gives consent,
we may itiesume that the Cumberland
County Democracy believe in the new
departure, endorse the county. Onibils
tration, and, ill short,
, tiro in full com
munion with the members 2f/the party
in Philadelphia, New 'York, and else
where.
" THE reduction of the•public debt dui.-

Democratic Erelow.
The "bright little boy" sometimes
mistakes his figures. The legitimate
monthly expenses of the Government are
b'Ver 24 millions, instead of 12 .millions.
Th 13,000,000 which you suppose are
missing, just went to parthe-interest on

THE Now York Sun is sarcastic in its
remarks in regard to the " Shameful
Treatment of a Poor Plasterer" by the
Comptroller. It says.: "Wo aro in
formed that Mr. Andrew J. Clarvey, au
industrious plasterer, has commenced a
suit against the city for a little balance
of between, one and two hundred thou
sand dollars, which the , Comptroller re
fuses to pay. Things are coming to a
pretty pass, when a poor plaiterer is
compelled to sue a great coisporation like
that of New York for his hard earnings.
lIE CENSUS OF' 1870
We believe that hitherto •no publica
tion has been made of the results of the'
census showing the separate numbers. of
.whites and blacks. We present our
readers with such tables, which can be
relied on as accurate and official. They
will furnish the thoughtful citizen with
food for reflection and speculation, and
. shonlirbirearoTtilly preserved. We have
spent some hours in analyzing these
tables and comparing them with those of
the census of 1860, and with the follow
ing results :
The increase of the aggregate popula
tion of 611,,the States and Territories
during the ten years it; 6;902,129, and
the rate of ine.ease "is above twenty-ono
and nine-tenths per cent. The increase
of the whole white population is 6,591,-
791, and the rate of increase 'is 24.4 per
cent.
The increase of the white population
in the Northern or originally Free States
5,137,848, and the rate of increase is
27.4 per,cent.
The increase of the white population
in the Southern States is 1,335,201, and
the rate of increase percent:
The aggregate increase of the black•
Population in the United &Ines is 338,-
885, and the rate of increase is 7.0.
The increase of the black pbpulation
imihi_Boutheru_S tates_is_4B,9s , l,_au
the rate of increase is 4.11 per cent.
The increase of the ,black population
in the Northern States is 110,192, and
the rate of increase is 52.7 per cent.
The increase of the whole population
in the Territories, including the District
of Columbia, i 5487,981., and the'rate of
increase is 7.1.9 per, cent. This state
ment refers to UM Territories which re
mained in that condition in 1870.
Nebraska and Nevada, which were Ter
ritories in 1860, / ,,lut in meantime
become States,and aro thbrefore ranked
as Such in the tables and in these com
parisons.
Tlie increase-of the white population
in the Territories is 154,315, and the rate
of increase is 65.5 per cent.
The increase of the black population
i s the Territories is 80.80, and the rate
of increase is 208.9 per cent.
An inspection of the tables will 'show
that the considerable increase of the
population of the Southern 4 Btates has
taken place chiefly in those on the north
ern hordes cif that section 'that is to say,
in -Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky and
Missouri, ail that a diminution of -the
number of the blacks has taken place in„
these border, States except in Maryland,
where the increase is slight.-- .
' The greatest increase in the number
of blacks in the South has taken place
in North' Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas,
Texas, Florida and Alabama. In Ow
two Virginias, compared with „the old
State, there is exhibited a loss of' 80,018
black's. In Georgia, also, theta is a fall
ing off of blacks, and considerable in
crease of whites. Othoc coniparismis
i~ ill suggest themselves to the intelligent
reader who has a copy of the census of
1800 at hand.

canal, and many cellars, in different
parts of the borough, were inundated :
The basement of Dr. W. li. Cook's
residence, on South Pitt street, was
filled with water to the depth of -e'veral
feet. This was caused by the narrow
culvert under the railroad, forcing the
waterback against the doors, breaking
them open, and lloodi4ig the room. The
Doctor fixes his loss at $5OO. We under
stand that he intends instituting pro
ceedings against the borough for the
damages sustained. . _

the moonlight picnic, some thief or

propriety of pers'ons leaving „their
silverware at their homes in the future.

STRUCK' 11Y LIGHTNING.—The newly
erected bank barn of Mr. Wingert, re
siding live miles North of . New
ton, was struck by lightning Tuesday
morning about 3 o'clock, and entirely
consumed, together with its contents of
the recent harvest._ This barn affords
the strange coincidence that lightning
will strike twice in the name place, as
this building while yet empty, was struck
a few weeks ago by an , electric current,
which, however, owing to the prompt in
terference of a few persons, was not al
lowed to kindle into dames.
