The County Convention. The editors of the Johnstown Echo, in commenting on the ticket placed in nomina tion by the Democratic County Convention, which assembled in this place on the 28th of June, Bay that "they believe a majority of the candidates nominated are determined to decline, and ask for a re-assembling of the Convention." We do not know on what facts or assurances the lelief of our Johns town friends is founded, but wc do know that we have conversed with nearly all the candi dates since the Convention, and they all seemed determined to adhere to the nomina tions they had received, and to fearlessly "fight the matter through," without stopping to inquire whether victory might or might not crown their efforts. They all said they had been nominated honestly and fairly, and were willing to occupy during the present campaign the position in which the Democ racy of Cambria had placed them. If any or all of the candidates see proper to decline, we are willing that they shall do so, and we will be happy to see the re-assembling of the County Convention Rut while the candi dates continue to adhere to the nominations they have received, we feci it to be our duty to support them, and to declare our intention of voting for them on the second Tuesday of next October, if they continue in the field. Several of the candidates, politically speak ing, are our enemies, but that we do not re gard as a sufficient reason to justify us in refusing to support them. The County Con vention was authorized and empowered to place in nomination a' ticket to be supported by the Democracy at the approaching elec tion. If the men who composed the Conven tion did not perform their work wcll.it was not our fault. They placed in nomination a ticket, and presented it to the party for their support.- If Ebensburg was "highly fa voted in getting an undue proportion of the ofEces," ber Democracy are not to be blamed for it. It was the delegates, a majority of the dele gates, from the north, from the south, from the east and the west, which placed tbe ticket in nomination, and they have now no right to repudiate it. They were elected delegates for the purpose of placing in nomination a ticket which they conscientiously believed to be worthy of the support of the party, and not for the purpose of nominating a ticket which would be odious to the party, and be certain to encounter defeat; and if, acting in the capacity of delegates, they endeavored to place in nomination a ticket which could not be elected, we say plainly that they were recreant to the trust confided to them by the - Democracy of Cambria, and were unworthy ' of the confidence reposed in tlieni , This is all we feel justified in saying at present. "We feel no desire to comment harshly on the action of the Convention. We entertain no doubt that it could have placed in noaunation a more available ticket. But as the matter stands at present, we can do nothing better as Democrats than support the ticket end kbor or iU succcbb. No Dem- I ocrat can certainly hope for anything by as sisting to cleofr- Black Republican and Know Nothing candidates to office, Augustin Durbin, Esq. . The above named gentleman is the candi date of the Democracy of Cambria for State Senator. We believe it is coLceded that this county' is entitled to the candidate, and we therefore confidently anticipate the nomina tion of Mr. Durbin by the District Confer ence. No citizen of this county ever occu pied a seat in the State Senate, and the Mountaineers now feel like insisting on their just rights. They feel that they have been playing pac7c-7urse long enough. We think the County Convention acted wisely in declaring Mr. Durbin to be the first choice of the Democracy of this county for State Senator. lie is a man of integrity and ability, and is really the most popular man in the county. Integrity, firmness of character and strong practical common sense are the requisites of a good Legislator, and all of these Mr Durbin possesses in an emi nent degree. That this is so, no one acquain ted with him will deny. We want a practical common sense Senator, and not one who caa make a sptech full of sound and fury signi fying nothing, and do nothing more. Capt. G. N. Smith was Mr. Durbin's op ponent in this county. lie is a man of ability and a good Democrat, and if the Convention had'declared in bis favor, it would have af forded us not a little pleasure to advocate his nomination. A majority of the delegates how ever, were in favor of Mr. Durbin, and their constituents unanimously ratify their choice The Democracy feel a dep interest in this matter, and feel almost like insisting that Mr. Durbin shall be standard bearer of the party in this district during the present cam paign. Cambria County. The nominations made in this county, on the 28th. gives great dissatisfaction. Col G N. Smith was defeated for Senate by Agustin Durbin by two votes. Philip S. Noon, E.q. was nominated for District Attorney, an ex cellent nomination. Seven out of the eleven candidates reside in Ebensburg. It is a great town, but it is not entitled to all the honors. The Mountain Echo believes that the major ity of the candidates nominated, are deter mined to decline, and ask for a re-assembling of the convention to apportion the ticket more equally over the county. Pitts. Post. Not quite so fast, Mr. JJarr, if jou please. You had better turn your attention to manu facturing a little political reputation for your self in Alleghany county, before you under take to meddle in the politics of Little Cam bria. The Democratic Convention of Alle ghany County has twice repudiated you, and told you plainly that it had no confidence in you or the concern which you edit. You edit the only Daily paper ia Western Penn sylvania which claims to be Democratic; prob ably, because you have more assurance than any of the other Editors of the Pittsburg Dailies. We have known your paper to oc cupy in the short space of two weeks, appa rently two different positions with regard to an important political question. Your course throughout has been, if not cowardly, at least timid and vacillating ; under these cir cumstances, we think your comments on the action of the late County Convention of the Democracy cf Cambria are gratuitous and uncalled for. The Democracy of Cambria can regulate their own affairs without the of ficious interferance of a Pittsburg Editor &3T The glorious Fourth was, we arc pleased to learn, celebrated at several places in this county in a very enthusiastic manner. The young ladies and gentlemen of this place celebrated it by a Pic-Nic in Lloyd's Grove, and all who were in attendance tell us they enjoyed themselves very much. The Ebens burg Martial Band, led by our enterprising and good looking young friend, Mr. John Roberts, was in attendance, and enlivened the occasion with soul-inspiring and patriotic music. A looker-on assures us that the scene presented by the Pic-Nic reminded hiai for cibly of the scene described by the poet "When all the village train from labor free, Led up their sport beneath the spreading tree." He beheld more than once the "bashful vir gin's sidelong look of love" at her admiring swain, and fortunately no sour-faced matron was present to reprove the glance. The citizens of Loretto and vicinity cele brated -th day by two cotillion parties, one at the hotel of Mr. Myers, the other at the hotel of Mr. Shaffer. The dancing commen ced at about 2 o'clock, P. M., and the happy company continued to "chase the glowiDg hours with flying feet" until evening, when the party "broke up," and all present re turned to their respective homes. Very sorry are we that we could not attend. Celebrations were also held in Johnstown, Jefferson, Chest Springs, and St. Augustine. We hope to be able to procure reports of the proceedings of these different celebrations, and to publish them next week. Death or Judge Burnsldes. We learn with deep regret that non. Jas Bumsides, Judge of , the 25th Judicial Dis trict of this State, composed of the counties of Centre, Clearfield and Clinton, was, while taking a ride on last Friday, near Bellefonto, thrown out of his buggy and instantly killed. He was an able and upright Judge, and was popular with the Bar of bis District IT was a member of the Legislature during two or tnree sessions of that body, and was always regarded as a talented and working member. The Post says he wb about 45 years of age. Indian Massacre. Mr. George W. Brown, of this place. banded ns, on last Saturday, a copy of the benttnel, published in Jacksonville, Oregon, containing an account of the murder of his brother, A. J. Brown, and four other per sons, by the Indians, about the first of May. He also gave us a letter from his brotherj F. M Brown, containing all the particulars. It seems the party -left -thef tiomes, in Jacksonville or vicinity, for the purpose of selecting stock farms in a region of country as yet uninhabited. As they had no inten tions of intruding on Indian territory, they, of course, entertained no apprehensions of an attack, but were well armed. After the day had passed on which the party was ex pected to return, their friends began to fear that they had fallen into the hands of the In dians. A party was immediately organized for the purpose of searching for them. They immediately started on the trail of the missing party. The first expedition failed in discov ering any clue to their fate, except that two or three dead horses, shot with bullets, were discovered; they were identified as belon" . ... ing to the missing men. A new expedition was orgrnized, which finally succeeded in discovering the- dead bodies of ftfur. of the party just as the search was 'about to be abandoned as hopeless, F.M.Brown and Ind tan Agent Abbot made the discovery. A correspondent of the Sentinel says : "The men had been assailed while lying in bed, as was very evident from their J - ... . wuuuus. wne was suot in the head, one had his head split open with an axe, one was shot in the breast and stabbed, and thp othrr shot through the breast. The throats of all were cut Mr. Brown in his letter says: "I found our brother in the grave. He had his throat cut, and a gash on the side of the head made by an axe. The wound extended from the back of his ear to the middle of his forehead." The following are the names of the murdered men : A. J. Brown, ' Eli Ledford, Samuel Probst, James Crow and S. F'. Coneer. The body of Mr. Ledford had troHbecn discov ered, but doubtless be shared the fate of his companions. A volunteer company had started in pursuit of the Indians, but with what degree of success we have not learned Mr. Brown had on his person about three hundred dollars in money at the time of his murder. Of course, the Indians appropriated it to their own use before burying his re mains, ne was born and reared in Butler county, in, this State, and was, we understand, about 24 years of age at the time of his death. Broke Jail. Two prisoners named M'Cullough and John ston, escaped from the Jail of this county on last Thursday night. By some unknown means, they procured an inch and a half auger, and b or ell about thirtyehofos through the lining of the wall of Jail which cousists of heavy vhite oak plank and sheet iron. They succeeded in removing a sufficient quan tity of the lining to gain access to the brick wall, and of course soon removed a sufficient number of bricks to admit their egress into "free air once more. Nothing has been heard of them since, although the Sheriff has been active in his efforts to ferret them out." How they obtained the auger, is still a mys tery. There was doubtless an accomplice in the matter. Johnston was convicted of the larceny of a gold watch, at the last Term of our court, but as he was shrewd enough to Xcign insanity, sentence was postponed until the Argument Court. For several days af ter his conviction, he refused to eat anything and said be wanted to die: Ilj conduct was that of an insane person, but after lall there appears to have been method in his madness. T "I am glad" said Mordicai to us the other morning. "I am glad, Mr. Editor, that I am not a politician." "Why Modi cai?" we asked. "Because," he answered, "I then could not leave town without being charged with going on an expedition, for the purpose of selling a portion of the County ticket, in order to secure the success of the remainder." "Mordicai." said we, "there is only one thing prevents you from being a politician." "What is that" said he. "Why Mordicai," we answered, "I need not tell you. You know as well as I do,- that yon ain't much of a scholar. Mordicai if you on ly understood Latin, you might be some thing more -than a-politician."--"What might I be ?" asked Mordicai. "Why, you might now be a lawyer, and have been admitted to harangue the Democratic County convention last week, and you might even have been admitted to assist in ousting legally elec ted delegates from their seats in the Conven tion." "TBat's all very true Mr. Editor," said Mordicai, "and now" said he as he with drew his hands from Lis breeches pocket, "here ia a dime that never was spent, and if you'll . just step over to Isaac's or the Major's we'll take a Nip" "Thank you, Mordicai," 6aid we, "I do not feel like indulging just now." ' "Well then," said Mordicai; I must play it alone, so good bye. I'll call to 6ee you again in a few days." "All right Mor dicai" said we, "Good Bye." , t3F- We have received the first number of a literary paper called tie "Keystone," pub lished by Jo Sevorns & Co., at the "Argus" office, Philadelphia. It is handsomely priu ted, and the reading matter is highly inter esting jt" The Democratic State Central Com mittee Lave issued an able address. We will publish it next week. ' - JteT" On last Saturday afternoon the chim ney of the dwelling house of Mrs. M'Dermit, near the corner of Julian and Ogle street, was discovered to be on fire,' and the cry of "fire" was immediately raised. A large number of our citizens rushed to the scene of the conflagration, and proper measures taken to protect the roof from the fire. In a few moments the roof would have caught fire, and, as the wind was high at the time, it would have been difficult to extinguish. , CC7 Strumous or Scrofulas affections are the curse, the blight, the potatoc rot of mankiud They are vile and filthy as well as fatal.
