The publishers will pay they postage on all
c.opies of the AGITATOR taken within. the county
of 21%).ga, where the subscription is paid up to

date. The' printed address-label on. the paper
will show each. subscriber the exact date to which.
"his.subscription is paid.
The fight for the Governorship of Massa
ehusettsi seems to be turning hi favor of
Waslibtirn. Butler secured a majority of
the delrgal es from•the large towns, but the
rural-distriets seem to be "fixing the flint"
of tie chief of the salary-grabbers. The
Springfield Apublican estimates that Wash
burn will have 150 to 200 Majority in the
Convention.
At the head of this column will be found
the names of thb candidates suggested by
the County Committee for Auditor and Jury
Commissioner. The vacancy in the first
mattoffice is occasioned by Prof. Verrill's
,►
rem alfrom the Tounty and State. The
gentlemen now selected for the positions . 4re
boat well known to all the voters of the
'whole county, and are peculiarly fitted to
fill the places for 'which they arc nominated.
During the past week ther6 has been an
other Cabinet revolution in Spain. Presi
, dent Salmeron has resigned, and Castelar,
the eminent 'Republican, has been elected
by the Cortes to fill the office. The latter
accepts the position only on condition 'that
lie.4hall be empowered to increase the army,
purchase halt' ti million rifles, organize the
Militia, and Impose a forced loan of five
hundred million reals to carry on the war
against the insurgents of all classes. These
are extreme measures, but the4are needed,
and it is to be hoped they prove effect
ual in establishing the new'Republid.
Tho Democratic State Committeclof lowa
has thrown up the sponge. The " unterri
fied" of that region haTe at last concluded
that a party which has in fact' put no na
tional ticket in the field since 18C8 is hardly
in condition to lock horns with the Repub
licans of lowa,' and so the Chairman of
their Committee announces that the Dettoc
racy will mate no nominations this year,—
So far as immediate political results in I?.
wa are concerned this action is of the very
slighteit consequence; but as indicating the
condition of the useless and helpless De
mocracy, it is of some significance.
Now hero comes the Hon. George IL
Pugh, of Ohio, formerly a Democrat of in
fluence and sagacity, and bears witness thus:
" You marched' off to the city of Baltimore,
and, with the delegates of the Democratic
party frOm . every State in the Union, you
supported Horace Greeley and B. Gratz
Brown, with the relegation of free trade to
the Congressional districts. And now you
have my' dear old friend, William Allen,
brought pp, and a parcel of other old boys
and yoinig boys, with paper caps on .their
"heads, with chicken feathers in. them, and
with wooden swords, blowing tin trumpets
and beating drums! Talk to me about the
Democratic party! You killed, it, and you
can never revive it."
As the organ of the pernocritcy in this
county has notlyet found space to print the
resolution of the recent Democratic State
Convention on the back-pay grab, we give
it beloW so l that the :Democrats of this re
gion may not remain in ent!re ignorance of
the party action.on that point. Here it is:
" I?cami, That we condemn without re
„serve the act of Congress grantirr , addition.
al salaries and the back-pay grab as unjust
and unjustifiable, and demand its immediate
and unconditional repeal; and we denounce
every member of Congress, whether Repub
lican or Democrat, who supported the law
or received the money procured thereby;
and we especially denounce the conduct of
President Grant in using the influence of
his high position for its passage, and whose
official. signature made it a law.”
Wo have never
. seen any evidence that
President Grant used the influence of his
high position to secure the. passage of the
bill, and we don't believe anybody vise ever
has: The fact.is that it was goner: 1y (Ani
-1 ceded on all hands that the future salary of
the -President should be increased, and the
unprincipled, members of Congress seized
wen the occasion to take from the public
trensuryfifty per cent. more pay for past
erricee than they had agreed to work.for.—
Cerpin -it is' that the PresidenVever m
ailed ono cent, of increased back salary,
while every, Democratic member from this
,State pocketed nearly five thousand dollars
,of public moneY under the guise . of. back
pay. And imp(' the ugliest features of the
_case is; that those who voted this money to
themselvettdid so in direct contravention of,
an exPressrule'of the House which provid
ed that no member should-vote on a ques
tion in which_ lie was pecuniarily interested.
It was probably this fact that prompted Mr.
Moore to say, in the late Democratic Con-
Vention, that he "did not understand how
itny man who regards honor and conscience
more than plunder and greed could either
- be persuaded to do it or justify it after it
was done."
Hon. John I. Mitchell.
' We clip the following 'notice of the re
nomination of our Represcntlltive from the
Harrisburg Daily &ale t rournal :of August
'2l3th. It would seem us if the Republicans
of Tioga county had made no mitake in fe

W 6 learn - from a private letter received
by it gentleman of this city from IVelisboro
Thar jobn L Mitchell, Esq., has been unan
imously re-nominated for election to the

A Bit of Political History.
In view of_wh4took place at the "recent
Demoeratic .:Coiiiention, at Wilkesbarre,
this bit of secret political history from: the
editorial. columns of the Pittsburgli Com l ,
nlerciad will be read with special interest:
"Westete ris , "tur-Ainqiiestioned fact that
the Democratic members of-Congress froth
this',State had a consultation this summerat
Bedford, and ,resolved to try to get bath
State Conventions to ignore the -back-pay
question; ,Several prominent Republicans
in the State iverp approached with the assu
rance that. if. the Republican State Conven-:
tlon would take no action on it, the' Demo
erotic, Convention could likewise be kept
quiet 4 itid the programme agreed upon for
the Democratic Convention was to pack the
committee on resolutions; elect Speer per
manent Chairman ' pass a resolution toTefer
all resolutions to the committee without'
bate,
,ainl when it reported to refuse. to-dis
charge lk - Under this programme it was
thought that all resolUtions against back
pay could be referred without debate and
squelched, and that,if offered after the coin
initteeTeported they could still be so refer
-red, the committee not having been dis
charged.- But the. best laid plans -of mice
and men will go wrong sometimes, arid•:-thc
wetikpointin this scheme was Speer. The
Convention_silV7 the mouse in the meal tub
too plainly.
'The result of this prechius scheming is
proof of the wisdom of the Republicans
who were so approached in refusing to lis
ten to the offer of, the Democratic Congress
men that if our Convention-would say noth
ing about-back pay the Democratic Co - Elven.,
Lion would also be kept quiet. The temp
ters who urged this offer have now shown
that they could not have kept the condition
al promise they proposed to make. 'Fortu
nately, no leading Republican in the State
was willing to enter into any such bargain,
or even to entertain such a proposition fora
moment; and events have proven that if
any one had been foolish enough to (lb si),
the indignant voice of the people would
have drowned him in its din."

Ez:Senator Pomeroy is in the city again;
having just returned from Massachusetts,
where he has been spending several weeks.
He looks healthy and appears to be in good
spirits. It is rumored that he is actively en
gaged in making preparations for a Senato
rial contest. His chances, his friends say,
are good, but his enemies, who outnumber
his friends, think-differently. All the inte
rest Washingtonians have in him is purely
for his money.
il'he Post Office Deparitment has been sore
ly in attempting to fill, promptly, or
ddrs for postal cards. It was little thought
that tie demand for them would be so great.
Thus far, up to August 31st, over sixty mill
ionshave been ordered, making, accord'
to the census of 1870, one and ra half to ev
ery man, woman, and child in the United
States.' It is thought that perhaps the nov
elty of it has occasioned the demand for so
great a number,,and*that after a little while
the demand for them will, not be so great;
that business men will prefer to pay the ad
ditional two cents postage with the privi
lege of sending a lengthy letter under seal,
rather than a shoe - advertised •to the
world for the sum of one cent.
Several claim agents here in WashingtBn
took advantage of the postal cards in writ
ing to their clients, and, if the truth was
known, they are the losers by it. For in
stance, a patent attorney, showed me two
letters from inventors reading as follows:—.
" Sir, your postal card is received, after hav
ing been read by the, clerks of the post of
fice and my whole household,. informing me
that my supposed improvement - on harrow
teeth was no improVement at all, and there
fore not patentable. I; wrote you distinctly
that I was a little dOubtfal as to the patent
ability of it, but requested you, in case af
ter examination it was found to be unpat
eatable, to let me know, not the whole town,
including my family. We inventors are ex
ceedingly suspicious, and don't care even to
let our own families know our business. In
closed you will please find ten three-cent
postal stamps, and twenty cents to buy pa
per and envelopes with, which I trust you
will bear in mind to use when yon next
have occasion to write mc."
Another letter: " Sir, I've this day an
nulled my power of attorney and sent no
tice to the Department. I do this for the
reason that I prefer to do business with an
attorney who can 'afford a three-Cent -stamp
when writing to me."
The anticipation of the return to Wash
ton of the President on or about the first of
September has attracted hero quite a num
ber of - Office-seekers. General Babcock re
turned this morning, but no President, and
there is little hope of his return until about
the middle of next week. The White HoUse
has been thoroughly renovated, and the old
furniture replaced with new.
A letter of instructions is being prepared
to-day by the acting Solicitor of the -Treas
ury to Judge Fisher, District Attorney, as
to the course to be pursued in the prosecut
ing of the Potomac Ferry Company and the
officers of the late Wawasset. ' The Govern
ment is determined to prosecute to the full
est extent of the law.
The Ethicatiotial Bureau is just in receipt
of a package of educational documents
from - Gen. Eaton, United States Commis
sioner of Education, / n6w in London. The
General writes tbathe bad spent much time
in selecting valuable books, containing mat
ter of interest;Which will doubtless be used
in his next aanual report. The General is
commissioned by the Government to go to
Vienne in our educational interest.
Beau Hickman is dead! Some mourn his
loss, notwithstanding he depended on their
charity for a livino Born of rich parents,
endowed with a brit and intelligent mind,
and receiving a liberal education, he is now
being buried without pomp or parade in the
potter's field. To shed a tear over his grave
would be to give countenance to his ill-spent
life. • It has before been said that Hickman
was bornxich. These riches did him but
little good. At an early age, when he, was
a young man, his parents died, and the pos
sessions loft him were soon squandered.—
Since that time he has loafed , around the
Washington hotels seeking whom he could
g 6t slusll sums of money from. For se' e
rrd years he succeeded admirably well as
gentleman-beggar, but latterly, being of iii
health, he has not practiced his profession
with the same energy, and consequently
with little success. He: was tasty• in his
dress, and always commanded, among both
strangers and acquaintances, a peculiar kind
of respect not usual for beggars. His pad
was to ingratiate himself into the lard of
a stranger upon short acquaintance—seldom
failing, after telling a good story„ to be able
to beg from twenty-five cents to five dollars
of him. From the . President down to a hod
carrier, " Beau Hickman" was a household
word: ' Seldom an 31. C. or any high official
escaped his special attention, and it is said

To the Editor of the Agitator :
. The many readers of your excellent paper
doubtless wonder why they don't hear from
some of_ the Ttoga county bOys here in Kan
sas, lam a constant reader of the Aorm.-
mon, look over its columns carefully every
week, and I have come to the conclusion
that you have no representativesof your pa
per in the Far yVest. This is my first at
tempt at newspaper correspondence; but if
the following items will he of any interest
to your readers, ;you are at liberty to ,use
them.
The city of Atchison contains a popula
tion of about 12,000, and many predict that
it will be double that in the .next twelve
months. Atchison has railroad facilities
that no other city west of St. Louis possess
es. It is the - terminus of eight railroads,
ale eight years ago there,was not a rail : .
road Innning into the city. We havothe
choice of four trunk lines to Chicago. We
have on the Kansas side of the Missouri
river a railroad that is stretching forth its
iron arm toward Santa Fe, ' and which is
now completed to the Colorado line—over
400 miles from here; another running north
to the capital of Nebraska, 170 miles; the
third running west 100 miles into the great
"Homestead Area." Leavenworth, twenty
miles- south of us, and St. Joseph, twenty
miles north, with populations almost double
that of Atchison, aokfiowledge that our city
is to be the city on the Missouri river. The
success - of Atchison has depended altogeth
er,upon the united effort and energy of her
citizens'.
This city will be called on the 29th of
this month to vote on a proposition to sub
scribe $lOO,OOO in bonds to the Chicago and
Atehison Bridge Company. ~ The contract
k‘
has lready been let; and Work will be com
menced in ten days after the bonds are vot-'
ed. The bridge is to be completed id one
year fiom the commencement of work upon
it. It is estimated the bridge will cost in
the neighbo hoodlof $ 1,200,000:•, It is to bean
iron railwa and Wagon bridge. The bonds,
no doubt, ill be carried almost unanifnous
ly, as proprty will double in value almost
as soon as work is commenced. Leaven
worth has got her . bridge, but it is built
dome two miles from the city, consequently
it does her citizens but little good, and the
only railroad using it is the Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific, which runs two trains a
day over it. St. Joseph has her bridge also,
which is of no more benefit to the city than
the Leavenworth bridge is to 'the latter
place. Atchison will haie her bridge in a
year's time, and it will be built at the foot
of one of our main streets, and will benefit
'all alike. East Atchison, (formerly known
as Winthrop,) opposite the city of Atchison,'
in Missouri, is a lively little town, it being
the terminus of four railroads, all patiently
waiting to run their . ffaiiis across 'the iron
bridge.
The Northern Kansas District Fair, to be
held a Woodland Park, near this city, is
going to eclipse everything heretofore seen
in the Fair line in the West. The premium
list is the largest over offered in Kansas, and
as competition is open to the world,, no
doubt the collections' will be numerous and
the attendance large. The railroads are lib
eral, as most of them have agreed to - carry
articles for exhibition free. pally are let-
ors received from 'Eastern people stating
that they will be here with articles to Com
pete for the largest premiums ever offered
in the West. _I wish some of the Tioga
county people would happen to ,be here at
that time to see - What the prolific soil of
northern Kansas can produce. The Pair is
to commence September Bth, and continue
five 'days. I
We have had a very dry summer, and the
corn crop will be a partial failure, but the
farinets will make
,by the operation. The
large crop of"corn raised last year would hot
bring them any, price, and. so the most of
them held it over. Thousands of bushels
of corn we burned here in place of wood,
it only selling at -eight and ten cents 'per
bushel, whit ¢ they, anticipate a • fair price
this fail anal winter. The wheat yield was
a large one, and exceeded - the .expectations
of all. Hay was also good.- Kansas will
ship thousands of bushels of _wheat - and
corn to the Eastern marketsj. Our market
here is filled every Morning with everything
that can 'be desired. In the fruit line we
have,apples, $1 per bushel; pears, peaches,
plums, grapeS, at ten centwer. pound; and
melons by the wagon' lead at flve cents a
piece : --some as large as a 'geodsized Stove
oven. In my earlier days, and when Ire
sided in the beautiful town of Wellsboro,
"us boys" used to, make midnight adven
tures in the gardens aroundlohin, and many
a time have I had dogs catch me by tln.k coat
tail as I was climbing over, the fence* - But
not so here in Kansas; a wagon load of mel
ons will come into market, the owner will'
get discouraged at hot, finding a read.y.,sale,
and he - will say„ " Item, boys, help your
selves." ' , .

Within the Past Week this' city has pro

suicides, and suicide is considered evidence
of insanity. Only the other day, an excel
