BIG BATs BuowN is Brick Pomeroy's
corruption of the name of the Dolly
Vardon Candidate for Vico President.
IT is now said that Horace Greeley
will not withdraw if ho is not nominated
at Baltimore. Well, suppose lie doe,sn't ;
Grant can stand it, if lie can. .
FxrTY Democratic memhers of Con
gress are reported to have signed a letter
protesting against the nomination of
Greeley and Brown at Baltimore. The
Dolly Vardons evidently will have trou-.
Me to carry out their plans.

Congressman by the provisions of a bill
Which has recently. passed, and conse-
Auently another name will be pitt npon
the State ticket. • What a tremendous
time there will be hurrahing for the
whole ticket when the campaign opens.
A DEMOCRATIC paper says that twen
ty-two hundred Democrats in Clearfield
county halie decided to iroto for Grant
instead of Greeley, if the Baltimore con
volition doesn't nominate a straight out
ticket. low does this suit the Dolly

BRICK Pommtoy says that Boss Tweed
gave $lO,OOO toward effecting the nomi
nation of Mr. Greeley, and that the other
Tammany people added to this until
$50,000 were raised. We don't know
whether or not this is true, but Brick
used to be pretty good authority on the
doings of the Democratic leaders.
WE have received the first copy of a
1/0 , 7i , weekly journal published at Greens
burg, Pa., called Frank. Coiean's Paper.'
It is Denthemtici politically and hoists
the names of Greeley and Brown. It
presents an excellent appearance, and
gives evidence of ability , and enterprise
on the part of its editor.
11DAN VOORHEES is still 011 the war
path against the Cincimmti nominations.
Ho addressed an immense meeting at
Terre Haute recently, in which he went
for the Philosopher even more vigorously
than ho Oki in his speech in Congress.
If 'Horace should be elected , Voorhees
won't come in very strongly for the
spoils.
flonAcE GREELEY is i2ctionisti
and B. Gratz Brown a free trader. Ono
is conscientiously a temperance man, and
the other conscientiously is the other
way,. Both however, lire what used to
be called abolitionists, who expect to be
elected by Democratic and rebel votes.
The man who called this set up Dolly
VaNen wasn't much wrong.
THE minority report of the celebrated
McClure - Gray contest is just published.
It controverts the position taken by the
majority of the committee in throrting
out reinrns.by which yMeCiann was given
the seat. But for the throwing out of
the returns in ilnumber of the wards,
the contestant, could not have succeeded
in ousting (Jul. Gray.
THE Illinois Republican State Conven
tion which met last week, was a very
large and enthusiastic gathering of the
Republicans of that State. lion. Richard
J. Oglesby. was unanimously nominated
for Governor, mni' r i•psolutions passed in

by thO Philadelphia Convention. Tlli•

from office, or, are influenced by merce

expression •to the sentiments of the
Pennsylvania DomoCracy, on the ques
tion of the PresidSucy. It will be aii"
occasion of much perplexity-'to the
leaders 'of that ancient and 'somow.h
dilapidated' political structure. 'For
many years they have seen' the nominees
of their 'conventions . spurned by. the
people, and their beat. laid plans for
political ascendency come to naught.,

Probable action of desperato‘..mniv • Last
year they , insanely adopted the "now

that any change must bo an improve
ment. Their folly was demonstrated by
the result of the campaign, bringing the
worst defeat they.. had experienced for
_years. Whether or. not they will be'
guilty of a similar folly this year, by
declaring for Greeley remains to beeeen.
' As to their candidates, there is noth
ing yet 'clear exceptthe nemination for

conferred on Chief Justice Thompson by
acclamation. Ho is old, able and a suf

favorite with the Democracy.
For Governor there will be a deter
mined effort to nominate Senator. Backe
low, in the hope, that his character,
long public service and-ability, may help
them in the State canvass. Buckalow's
nomination will be resisted. doubtless, by
the corporate interests; and also, by the
strong partizans in the bOnvention on the
grounds that he, is not a rabid enough
Politician and from those sources there
may ho opposition enough to prevent his
nomination. '

No. 22
It is intimated in many places that
the nomination fur Auditor General will
be tendered to Senator Billiugfelt, of
Lancasf6i4. Wo doubt this-very much,
and we would be greatly disappointed if
he should accei;t - it it it wore tendered.
It will more likely fall on some regular
old-fashioned Democrat, especially if
Mr. Buckalew be fiorninated for Gover
nor. It would . never do to nominate a
State ticket that .hadn't at least two
straight out uncompromising party men
on it. There is a fine chance to dispose
of surplus politicians this time, there
being fourteen delegates at large to the
Constitutional Convention, and three.
Congressmen At large to elect. It is
therefore possible for the State Conven
tion to fix up a largo number of gentle
men permanently this time. _
Tits Democratic journals throughout
the State delight in disparaging General
llartranft on every occasion, and often
make charges against him in connection
with his official duties as Auditor Gen
eral. The simple answer to all these'
allegations is the vote of the Senate on
the question of continuing General Ilart
ranft as Auditor Genefiel after the expi
ration of his term. This measure,
although entirely out of the usual prac
tice in similar cases, was supported by
the entire Democratic side of the Sen
ate and very many Democratic Senators
took occasion to speak in the , highest
tbrms of the personal worth and integ
rity of • General Hartranft, and to com
mend, in the strongest language, the
manner in which the financial af
fairs of the State had been con
ducted during his term of office.
These encomiums coming from gentle
men who wore politically opposed to
our candidate for Governor, many of
whom had been for years in a:position
which enabled them to scrutinize his
official . acts closely, are the best
evidence . ability and in
tegrity, and should at once silence
all clamor about any official shortcom
ings. FrOm the criticisms of the Demo
cratic papers, General liartranft may
turn to the endorsement he received
from the leaders of their party in the
Legislaturb, and on that and the splendid
record of his 'administration -of the
finances, may confidently count on the
hearty support of the people of this
Commonwealth.
TirirA T TVEND4LL PHILLIPS SAYS
No one who has read the political
speeches of Wendell Phillips, delivered
within the last year or two, will charge
him with being very warmly attached to
President Grant. Therefore it will not
ho said that his opinions are biased by
any influence from the White House.
lie has been interviewed recently by it
representative of the New York World,
and In the conversation °which ensued
ex pressed himself as follows
" You know that I am neither a Re
publican nor a Grant man ; whom I shall
vote for, or whether I will vote at all,
do not know ; but .cortainly as against
Greeley I ant for Grant. We halm had
ono _lndy .Tohnson—l will not• run the
risk of getting another in, and Horace
Greeley is
,sucti. I want a man
with some decided .princiPles. Greeley
foyer had any. Besides, I consider
Gteeley a secession candidate. The
plot to nominato hioL. was hatched by
Southern white rebels morn than a year
ago, and has boon mainly nursed by
them. I advise any ono who moans to
vote for him to find out first what agree
mentbuhavo been made by Mr.`Grooloy',B
friends with .Toff. tlavis and' his staff as
to ollico and patronage. lam perfectly
certain — that there - is allistincti- mutual
understanding, if not a positive contract,
between them. If Horace Greeley enters
the, White Douse, Jeff. Davis will be as
truly a part of the Administration as-
Seward was in Lincoln's day. No negro
can vote for Greeley who values his lifo
or..proporty or cares for his race. If by
a frown of Providence he Is elected, I shall
advise every Southern loyalist to load the
revolvers: that Grant's arrest of North
Catalina Ku Klux has - allowed to be laid
asido. If he is elected let the' negroes
live in squads of fifty, whom no coward
will dare shoot down,and show no prop
erty after sunsqt. Lonely loon' will be
shot down, and no black man will own a
forty-eight hours if •any rebel
knotvs tho fact. For a loyal administra
tion to protect the nogro„ awe the rebel,
and ' v ivo the Workingmen a chance,
.Grants little finger is worth a baker's
dozen of Greeloys." ,
This opinion, very candidly expressed,
shows that Wendell had road Horace
tlirqughly. It exhibitd the "Liberal"
candidate as ho is. The 'picture Is per
foot.
JUDGE 13bAcx has recently boon &lin
ing his position on tho.grooloy quostfua.
Ho very • forcibly .omirossos a 'clinically
which will maim itself felt as soon,as the
Philosopher gots the Baltimore, noniin,.-
tion, if he gets it at all. The Judge
says
'While I am about it I may as v”II
say another word. The -aggressive 11. A,
violent temper of, the Cincinnati mo'
meet is breaking the Dopmerrioyoto

NATIONAL IND US TRIAL RECORD
In . the course of Judge Kelley's recent
able and interesting speech, in the United
States Congress, on the pending tariff
and tax bill, he guoted a full tabular
statement of the 'United States census of
the gross production of manufacturorsof
the States and Territories, that is quite
important, as showing the enormous pro
gress we have made in the last decade.
In 1850 the aggregate was $1,019,10(1,-
616 ; in 1800 it had risen to $1,885,861,-
600, and in 1870 it was $1,000,152,016,
au increase of 128 per cent in a decade of
war and devastation ! Nor does this tell
the whole story, for in the census of 1870
the products of mines and fisheries arc
excluded from the statement, while in
the two previous censuses they are in
cluded, so that the actual increase is
much greater than even this table shows.
(hie result of this exclusion of mining
from the table is to change the relative
rank of the St rtes. Pennsylvania, which
ought to stand at the head of the list,
gives nlace to New York, and t',ilifurnia,
which ought to have high rank, falls be
hind Rhode Island. We subjoin a state
ment of the principal Slates :

It will be observed that in 1850 Penn
sylvania was below both New York 'and
'Massachusetts; that in 18(10 she had
passed Massachusetts Vilna, in 1870 we
leave Massachusetts far in the ;rear, and
that wo tako rank with New'York with
out our mining statistics, and if we in
clude them we eclipse her completely,
,and stand at--the head of the list, with
no rivals at all. The growth of indus
trial pursuits in these three States heti
been so vast as to leave a great
gulf between them and all the other
States. 'This arises from the influence
of the vast capital concentrated In-the
cities of Boston, Now York and Phila
delphia. But in the West wo see a
similar phenomenon arisin in the Qom=
ing future-of the States of Ailo, Illinois
and Missouri, under the influ nee of the
-capital concentrated m the three groat
cities ef Cincinnati St. Louis and Chi
cago. Of these iVreo - States Ohio still
holds the lead by sharing so laroly in
Om influence of Pittsburg and the min
ing intents of Western Pennsylvania,
and will probably continuo to do so, ns
Cleveland is becoming a large industrial
centre.
But the most Kurprhiing feature in this
statement is thh increase uf manufactures

THE HARRIS . DURO AND POTO
MAC RAILROAD
It seems inevitable that every impor
tant enterprise must encounter in its
beginning not only tho natural ditlioub
ties of railroad, building, but also the
delays and vexatious confSequent up.n
the factious opposition of those' who
faincy their own interests injuriously
affected. Such opposition is equally
foolish and futile"; futile because no
really sound and well conceived project
was ever so cinched ; and foolish, be
cause it needs 'tut a glance at our brief
railroad history to see that every now
road' develops now and encourages old
industries, and creates for itself the
business which improves its neighbor
hood and enriches itself.
The Harrisburg and Potomac railroad
has encountered such opposition and-has
lived it down. Already fifteen miles of
the road - havo boon graded, and tho
officers in charge expect to have their
trains running from Harrisburg to Cloy
ersburg by the end 'Of the year. An
extraordinary impetus has been *given to
the road this year by the strompdemand
for iron ores to meet the increased and
increasing caltfor cheap•ored•to-feedtho
furnaces upon the Susquehanna and
Schuylkill.. A party of gentlemen, who
may be termed the Susquehanna interest,
consisting,of Messrs. Dawson Coleman,
W. Wister, W.• Watts, of Marietta,

Mr. Dull, Superintendent of Lochici Iron

and tombstones are. being erected„while

is no one in our borough that will 'be
guilty of trespassing upon, or in any

A MELAlicnoLv BREMC Dow - R.—There
aro lively break-downs that make 'an
audience laugh, and there are sad and
sorrowful break-downs that mike the,
kind4Marted grieve. To the latiCf class
belongs the enervation of body and mind
which is usually called general debil
ity," or "nervous weakness," and which,
When neglected, too aften•terminates in
atrophy and death. A wholesome medi-
cated stimulant is the one thing needed
in cases of this description, and science
and experience .unite in pointing to
Plantation Bitters as the tine specific.
The ° fact that it combines the properties
of an iuvigorant with those of a rug'ula
tor and alterative in'exactly the propor ;
tines necessary• to produce a radical
change in the tole .of the system, and
the action of the diestive and secretive
organs, is au unanswerable argument in

BROKEN BANKNOTES AT n PREMIUM.'
—The Pittsburg,' , •(Pa.,) Leader has the
following:: ,„
One of the anomalies and curiosity of
•our-existing financial system is the fact
that • the notes of the broken national
banks' of :the United States aro worth
fouqper cent more than the \ notes
sound one's. The explanation 'is easily
found. - The government guarantees- the
circulation of all the national banks.
That keeps the notes of the poordst of
them, and oven of those which have
failed, up to par. The total circulation
of the' national banks of the United
States is limited to a fixed amount. But
whcn'a national hanic breaks, if another
bank can buy up its notes and offer the
same guarantees, it is allowed to succeed
to its privileges and franchises. OF if a
banking corporation buys up, sufficient
notes of various broken national. banks
to establish a now bank, the government
allows it to do 4his too. There are
numbers of peoPtil who would like to go
into the national banking business if
they had a chance. This gives them a
chance. If they watch the market and
buy . up enough of broken bank notes
'they have an opening to start a new
national bank in. It is the pressuro of
these outsiders who want to get in that
creates the demand for thes'e "busted"
bank notes which has raised them to the
premium we have alluded to, 'and made
the paradox that the notes of our rdtton
banks are better than those of our good
ones a sober truth.
• ADJOURNED MEETlNG.—Agreeably to
an adjournment, there was a meeting of
the old soldiers, in the Arbitration
Chamber, for pu s hioses stated in the re

AMERIUAN INSTITUTE OF HO-
..MCICOPATHY. '
-
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 24, 1872
DEAR HERALD i—To-day closed the
most interesting meeting of the Ameri
can Institute‘zaf Hommopathy ever hold.
Several huudred phytiiciaus were in at
tendance from all seetnids of the United
States. The meethlg was inaugurated
on Monday evening, May 20, by.a recep
tion given by Dr. and Mrs. T. S. Verdi,
at their residence, to the members and
their ladies, for the formation and
renewal of fraternal relations.
On Tuesday the general business ses—
sions of the society commenced in Lin
coln Ilan. -
On Wednesday morning the membeis
assembled in the parlors of the Arling
ton Hotel (which was the head-quarters
of the society,) and proceeded to the
White House, where, by special appoint
ment, they were received by his' Excel-,
lency, the President of the United States,
and cordially welconied to the Nation's
Capital. 'Under the administration of
President Grant the Honimpathic Low
of Cdre received its first National recog
nition;- by his, according to its practition
ears equal professional rights, which will
be, accepted as a step in the right direc
tion by all fair-minded people, as it is
claimed by a large class of citizens,
that this law of eureio a great advance in
the healing art ; aic ' d with considerable
show of right, as the report of Edwin
M. Kellogg, an eminent statistician,' will ,
show. Ho has spent several morithe4n
Classifying the deaths in Now York city,
for the years of 1870 and 1871, showing
that, the practitioners of the Hommo
pathie school of medicine, lose but 50
where the- " regular" or 'Allopathic
schoollose 100 cases by . death, these are
facts which the people can ponder, if
they cannot understand how medicines
act on the human system. As a fitting
7. tributo to the success of Homaiopathy, a
telegram was received on the third' day
of the session, from New Yiirk, stating
that Governor Hoffman bad just
signed the bill passed by„.the Legis
lature' of that - State for the endow
ment and establishment of a University,
in which the Homcoopatbic law of cure
is to be taught. And from Massachu
setts wo hear" that nearly ono hundred,
thousand dollars wore raised for a now
HHoniceopathic Hospital, by moans of a
fair held in Boston, within the short
space of a few weeks,. owing, to per
secutions meted out to Honiceop:thists
by the Allopathic branch of the profes
sion, and from all parts of the world we
hear of the same cheering progress.
The American Institute has taken ac
tion to invite and hold a world's Congress
of Homcoopathic Physicians in Philadel
phia, during tho Centennial Anniversary
of Independence in 187 G.
Many acts of courtesy and kindly
greeting were tendered' the members of
ttle Institute during their stay in Wash
ington. His Excellency Governor Cooke,
and his kind and accomplished lady,
gave a grand reception, and extended
the hospitalities OT their elegant mansion
on Georgetown Heights, to the members'
and the ladie,s accompanying them.
The'next meeting will be held in June,
1873, in the city. of Cleveland, Ohio.
