Should the Deinomicy nominate what
Greeley calls a Bourbon ticket, It will
then be quite in order tau appeal to the
Cumberland county Democrats to stand
up" for their party to the bitter end. If
Greeley should be talent up by the patty
it, will be equally easy to sound the call
on behalf of the man with the white hat.
Any expression now might 40.'embar
ratlsing.
" 4- * / TILE -Reading gazette, (Democratic),
thus speaks of Vie nomination of Gree
ley and Brown : '
'"The Blair Einfltionce traded him off
for B. Giatz Brosen, and when the mys
' tic veil that covered the secret workings
of the Wire-pullers of the,Liberal Repub
lican now era had dropped, there' stood
the reprosentativo of.all the
odds and- ends'or political and social
isms, which for the last thirty years had
' -irritated the vitals of the nation and
culminated iit the civil war, as the nomi
. noopf the Convontign. It was as flat a
slap in the face of the coalition Demo
crats, as ever a had boy got from. his
- -step-mother."
This is a good' thing to say of- candi
. dates, which in the course of liftman
events, it - may become necessary to vote
' for.
WHAT WILL THE DEMOCRACY DO?
Mr. Greeley in a recent number of the
Tribline intimates very clearly what ho
desires and hopes may be the plan of
the campaign. lie says he will not
withdraw from`fiT field on account of
any action the Philadelphia convention
take. lie is fully impressed' with the
opinion th4"ifla too late not , for the
Republican convention to make any
nomination which will satisfy the Liber
als or in any way diminish the strength
of their movement. He says at the same
'time however that' the Democratic party_
has the polder to kill the "Liberal"'
movement by a straight out Democratic
nomination, and in that base he inti
mates that, the candidates of the Cincin
nati contention will not feel themselves
hound to remain In the field merely to
secure the success of a ,Bourbon ticket.
The. editorial to which we allude Is a
,formal notice to the Democracy that
they must either support She. Cineinnati
nominees or submit to the re-election of
Gen. Grant.
Mr. Greeley, ovillently intends playing
the rota of the politician for his own in.
terost with whatever ability ho may pos.
seas hr that line. having the nomina
tion for, the Prosideney ho vorylaturally
desires the election. To this endue will
dirocit itlr his c;rieiklistrAti-the—p-reivetiz
tion of any nothina ion .y
_e P emo
eratio party, and the intrigues of the'
politicians who are committed to. Us
support, to bring aboutthat 'result will
doubtless be liold and numerous. It is
very evident that Many of the hungry
pOlitiolani of the Democratic party as
well its many very' respectable in that
organization who have lately been voting
the ticket under protest are very anxious - .
that no ;,Demoeratic nomination• should .
be made. In the South and the West
very 'many of their papers . ate out
squarely in favor of Greeley and Brown,
and are 'very strongly opposed to any'
reguldr nominations. • As The. supporters
of this policy have something tangible to
advocate, and as those :who, oppose it
must content themselves with senti
niontal aPpeals to the unterrified to Sur
render all chance of victory . forever
rather than to give up the glorious old
party, the chances are that the senti
ment iu favor of making no nominations
will gain ground gradually; but even
with this advantage the hopes of the
" Liberals" will, be disappointed. • -
The Democratic party as at present ,
composed' is intensely and thoroughTY
partizan. The slavery agitation and the
war issues took from it nearly all its
,leaders ivhb professed any principles
which were paramount to party disci
pline. The gentlemen who now manage
the concern, are those who still cherish
the hope that there will come a time.
when the people of this country will
regret that they suppressed the rebellion
and destroyed slavery, and that as a
penance for this they will be willing to
restore to power the men who opposed all

are tho gentlemen whom Mr. Greeley
describes as the Bourbons of American
politios,•who never team and never for
got. These will control the action of
the DemOcratic National Convention, and'
force it to. nominate men who are the rep
resentatives in thought and action of tho
Democracy,. During the war they threw
away many chances, of success by adher
ing to theii intensely partizan principles,
but in this instance the party will be
safer under their control than it would
be under that of the Liberals. Defeat is
inevitable, no matter what course they ,
may pursue, but it will be less disastrous
if they light within their owu lines, than
if they attempt to transfer,gleir.forcesto
the leathers of the Cincinnati movement..
nuILACE GREHLEY was, until
within a year, an avowed supporter .of.
Gcm•ral Grant's administration, and do
.sired his re-ucmination. The Tribune
gate out_ its approval in its usual em
phatic manner whenever an occasion
offered. Here is a specimen :
"The Republicans are generally Hat
t:tied .with General Grant's administra
tion;And inclined to renew his lease of
power. There is a very general convic
t ion that lie is a safe and prudent:Execu
'—'
tier.
Gene] al Grant has been not quite two
yews in power. During these two years
many war clouds have loomed on the
borizen, yet peace with foreign nations,
and with Indian tribes has been happily
preserved. The taxes have been largely
educed, yet two hundred millions of the
cat.onal debt have been paid off and
•• in, rlen, though,wq are paying one Min
dy. 1 and twenty millions per annum for
:;;;crest, and 'thirty millions per annum

nur great struggle. We doubt
!her any Government over before
dented so large a proportion of its an
nual income to the payment of debt.
le misunderstands human nature who
fi l et, wdi not. •
csidential contest."
Now Mr. Greeley thinks tho adminis
t ;ation is weak, dishonest and incapable,
and that the two-term principle is very
precious. Circumstances alter eases
always, and particularly when a Presi
dential Tl'mlinat ion is one of them. ,

Mr. William P. Schell was' named for

politician, from Bedford County, which
he represented sonic years 'ago, iw btitlP

Mr. Schell was present at the convention,

Thompson will, must likely;*-aceept also.
as lie is expected to 'receive the Demo

Mr. IBllingfelt is said to hive declined,
and it he IniaMot, he most-likely will do
no, as he has some prospects for a Cori

Mr. Schell is i !JAM great dangerof bee i

Tun bill repealing , the customs duties
on tea and coffee, which has been signed
by the President, pen- into. effect on
July 1, 1872. During the last fiscal year,
ending Juno 30, 1871,' there were im
ported into the United Staten, 377,992,-
048 pounds of coffee, valued at $30,992,
069, and 51,364,919 pounds of tea, valued
at $17,254,017. During the six months
ending December 31, 1872, there were
imported into the United States, 149,- .
108,479 pounds of coffee, Valued at $lO,-
095,021, and 13,189,408 pounds of tea,
valued at $8,842,083. The . " duties at
Present imposed on these. articles are
three cents a pound upon coffee, and
fifteen cents a pound upon tea. Prom
the above statistics of importations of
tea and coffee, it will be seen that the
breakfast table'' will ho relieved from
a heavy tax. By this measure the
revenue will be reduced from eighteen to
'fwenty millions of dollars. Tea• and
coffee were admitted free of duty from
1842 to 1861. • By the not of August 5,
1861, duties were impOsed upon these

THE Washington dloonicie says that

278,519,598.54. Of this sum $426,164,-

terest bearing sum of $1,852,854,871)726.
Of tbis,aggregato the five per cent bonds
bearing coin interest amount to $114,-
567,300. Of the six per cent gold bonds
$1,388,777,100 are still Outstanding.
The three per cent certificates have .all
been redeemed except $13,845,000. Gen.
Grant's administration has Canceled
$327,719,819.29, cutting doWn the an

THE pamphlet containing.thd general
laws 'passed by the Legislature of Penn
sylvania at the session of 1872, has just
been.issued and makes a volume of sixty
nine pages. The Legislature was in
session three months and in that time
passed forty-nine general laws and eLtht
general resolutions. All the rest of the
time was given up to the passage of
special laws and fruitless debates.
Among the laws of interest and value is
that declaring the true intent of the
election law of 1889, a provithon of which
concerning the presentation of a petition
of contest was invoked as an excuse to
deny an investigation into the frauds
in the Fourth 44iitrict, at the special
election in January. The supplementary
act clears away the ,ambiguity of the
original law, and will prevent it from
hereafter being made a cloak for rascal
ity. Another commendable act is that
enlarging the jurisdiction of the Courts
of Common Pleas relative to granting
charters of incorporation, and which
gives to them the power to incorporate
water and gas companies. Any enlarge
ment of judicial jurisdiction in this. re
gard means a eorreSponiling decrease of
Legislative authority over the subject,
and every step taken in this direction is
a gain for the cause of good government.
"An act enabling married Women to
purchase sewing machines" . is an argu
ment in favor 6f more enlightened legis
lation generally mt. the - - subject of the
property rights of Maui( d' women. An
other'act of the same nature, and which
is equally praiseworthy, is the one secur
iug to married women their own earnL
ings, whether they result from - labor or
investment. The law to prevent the
sale of intoxicating liquors on elec
tion day, but we very mach doubt that
it will be enforced. That making. 'La
misdemeanor to refuse or RP Peet to
obey.the 'summons of a l a -4naiative com
mittee, and - i m p os i ng ~. fine and
seem rather
inbitrary and exceedingly harsh. A
supplement to the act creating the
Board of State Charities gave that ad
mirable trust the poweis and- agents it
has hitherto lacked for the proper inves
tigation and performance of its peculiar
duties. Much of the general legislation
of 1872 is "special," in that it is of no
peculiar interest to others than lawyers.
Only ono of all the laws of this class—that
making it competent for a person charged
with. the commission of an offence not
above the grade of misdemeanor to testify
in his be her own behalf, need be men
tioned. With the:acts culling a eou von Lion
to amend the Constitution, providing for
the election of members of' the same,
creating We Bureau of Statistics antrthe
Fishery Commission, the public have al
re:My-been made acquainted.— Dispatch.

ANoTtinnhout 10 o'clock the

to a buggy, and driven by Mr. C. Thu
dlum, took fright when in the vicinity
of °nu OFFICE and started off rapidly.
Although . Mr. T. was seated in the buggk
he could not check the animal , owing to
the fact that the shafts had fallen down,
and kept striking-fthe .horse's heels at
every stop. When opposite the "Volun

to the ground, and sustained several
injuries.. Dr. Zeigler was immediately

Erma.—About 6 o'clock on Saturday
evening last, the alarm of ,"ilre" re
6ounded through the streets and the re
port was rapidly circulated that Bar
num's establishment was on. fire, but
this subSequently proved incorrect. It
was the.large barn of Mr.. Jacob Runkle,
in North Middleton township, a short dis
tance west of the borough, and along the
lino of the cumberland Valhfy Railroad.
The flames, spread rapidly, and the large
barn,sheds and corn crib were totally.de
stroyed: Mr. Dunkle lost 9,100 bushels
of corn, 75 bushels of oats; 12 teasel hay

difficulty that the house was saved, fie
the wind was blowing a terrific: gale at
the time. The. furniture was . all 're
moved. Great credit is.duo the fireman
and several of Barnum's mou for their
heroic services, but owing to the scarcity
of water they were unable• to combat

COURRAPONDANT Or the Harrisburg.
Potriot, who is writing up the Central
Pennsylvania delegation to the Metho
dist Episoopal conference, at Brooklyn,
speaks of , our townsman, the Bev. Dr.
Mitchell, as follows
• Rev. ThoMpson Mitchell, D. D.,joined
the Baltimore conference in 1839. He
is one of the fairest exponents of old
fashioned Methodism of whom we have
knowledge. ' Reared amid Methodistic
influences and studying its history and
polity with great exactness t. w hat wonder
that ho should have fallen in bye with
this church and tendered her his life-long
services? He has a good wholesome phy
sique, inclined somewhat to corpulency,,
a well fashioned and striking head.
“al'' I plenty of snow ufitin the roof and ,
the fires burning brightly within. His
eye is somewhat disposed tole playful,
and relishes heartily a suggestive witti
cism. Ho is a man of keen and well'
ordered perceptions, clear perception,
wise in couimel and withal one of the
most genial and pleasant cimpaniilus.
Dr. Mitchell has been for a number of
years president of the Dickinson semi
nary, at Williainsport, Pennsylvania.
He there evinced considerable power and
tact as an educator. Much of the pros
ont tlpift and prosperity of that institu
tion is due to his sidininistratimi. Ho is
khown as a clear and able expositor ,and
preacher of the " Word." He iie,uow
presiding elder of the Carlisle disti
and has hie residence in that city. Ifs
is very highly esteemed by the clergy
and laity of his conference. who think
him pre-otninently qualified to be at the
head of the Methodist book concern. If
'the future of Dr. Mitchell's life is as
;successful as the past—and there is every
promise—his name will be added to the
long roll of those who labored and died
in the "faith."
