For Commissioner, T. 0. 'HOLLIS. For Auditor, A F. PACKARD irk PRESIDENT JUDGESHIP. The question seems settled in the oth er counties of this judicial district as well as in this, as to who is to be elec ted President Judge this fall. We copy below from the Cameron Democratic and Republican papers : " His Honor, Judge H. W. Williams, has re. ceived the nomination of his party in Tioga on. for the President Judgeship of this judicial dls, triet. This has been accomplished after a bitter ,contest. His first opponent 'was Hon. Judge ' White, who withdrew in favor of a lawyer by the name of Seymour, a gentleman of reputed wealth and popularity ; but over these two aspirants combined, Mr. Williams received nearly five votes to their one; the Crawford county system being the mod 6 of nominating in that county. This is a -well deserved tribute to merit. His Honor will undoubtedly be *ducted without opposition; and it is a question whether there is a man in the die tri et better adapted every way for the honorable position. Let us now have the, law creating an Assistant Law Judge repealed, and out off one of those who feed at the public erib."--inktrident. Von JUDO H.—lten, H. W. Williams is the una. nimous choice for President Judge of this dis trict. Tioga voted (Crawford county system) last weak, and ho received about 1400 majority over Mr. 11..yruilur,.of Tinge. This part of the dig triut has, we believe, chosen delogetei favorable to Ur. Villiarns's nomination, and ho will re th unanimous nomination of the Conven tion. J dgo White withdrew from the oontest two wee a ago, and endeavored to make tho peo ple beli.ve they wanted Mr. Seymour, but the people • eould'nt see it."—Preee. HEAVY STORM. The Atlantic coast was visited on the 20th instant by one of the most violent and long continued storms on record. The fall of rain at Charleston, B. Caro lina, was 8 inches, and the gale was fearfully heavy. Fortunately, the di rection of the wind was oil' the coast, giving ships a chance for gaining sea room. Had the wind been on instead of eff shore, our coast would have been strewn with wrecks. S'EtNTON—McCANDLESS. The Harrisburg Patriot trios to malt() a point agtti Onl. Stanton by charg ing him with being a "contract surgeon" during the war. Well, yeg ; he was a contracteurgeon, just as a majority of the able bodied men in this country were contract sol diers, 1. e. fie was mustered Into the service "for three years, unless sooner discharged." And he did not refuse to serve his country at thevery time when Leo's army was burning Chambers burg,—declaring, as did Gen. McCand less, that "the post of honor was the private station." THE WESTFIELD DISASTER. The investigations concerning the above disaster have developed some im portant facts: among the more impor taut j of which are these : First, it is pro ed that the engineer Robinson, was unable to read the-Inspector's cer tificate; 6eeond, he had frequently carried more steam than wasallowed by law ; and, third, ho was away from his engine, and asleep at the- time of the accident. RUSSIA AND GERMANY. There aro rumors—and more than rumors—of a serious misunderstanding between Russia ;mid Germany. Russia has made and is making large military preparations, and all Paris jumps at the conclusion that this mean§ war be- tween the two great northern Powers. It is quite possible : and if it should prove te be the case,—then, we fancy, there would be such rejoicing in France as that sunny land has notknown since the days of Austerlitz and Jena :—and the indemnity matter would be settled in a way not contemplated by Prussia. ERANCE. tf any man knows just what the government of France is at present, we :31io i ald be more than grateful if he would make his knowledge plain to ordinary understanding. Tillers 11134 i Gamb.etta are both charged with revolutionary tendencies : Just what there is to revolutionize is not so clear. The governtuebt Is spoken of as pro oisional, but we are unable to say what i t is intended to provide for.— I COAL Is an excellent thing,—but can't it, somehow, be got to market with less destruction of human life? Five per sons suffocated in a coal shaft out in lowa, and seventeen smothered or burned by fire damp at Pittston, and all in one week, makes the purchaser of coal think - of the scotch fish-woman's argument after a destructive storm on the Scottish coast :—"Fish are ,na' fish the day, my 100—they're men's lives," How does the "Old thing Work." We must confess that it doesn't work at all to our satisfaction. We dont ob ject to the slight earthquakes that have lately jarred domestic crockery in the Eastern States. They need it down East—to jar some of their conceitiout of them. Still, it must be remembered that when once earthquakes get in the notion of shaking up a country, they are apt \ to overdo the thing. But what worries us istheundeniable fact that the concern is on fire inside: and to an alarming extent, as is proved by the continual , breaking out of vol canoes on nearly'all sides, These vol canoes are merely \ the chinineys, and what has kept the fires going ,for two, perhaps tenthousand Slew% is what bothers us.

Does Proof Prove Anything I We print below, with interpolations, an article front the Villthamsport Sun and Democrat, headet and reading 08 follows: " ILLOGICAL AND UNTRUE —Friends of the Ad ministration attribute the viet elections in N.

The di i grace rests on the, lawless ruffians who make the statute i a necessity—not on tj e -statute, or its framers.

WELLBBORO, August .21, 1871. Editor Agitattir i—Dear Sir—lii the Agitator of Augustl, 1871, was an article signed "se," in reference to "Commissioners, Unseated Lands, Taxes." After speaking of the neoessity of selecting proper persons for the office of county Oommitisioneri and of the assessment of unseated lands, the Writer makes the unfounded allegation that "Meet of the land , owned by one corpora tion, Phelps, Dodge A - Co., is assessed at about $2 per aare." The Above obarge is amply refuted by the state ment of the Commissioners in the Agitator of the 9th. Your correspondent further says: "If the township Assessors put them up, the Commis sioners, under the hammer of two. or three attor neys, whom the company keep constantly in their pay, • • put them down.

Dcar Sir :—At. last the , excitement arising hem the sae: Eton inu naricaton nab awn wa.., and we can sit quietly down and canvass the probable reasons for the defeat of our party.— As it stands, it is not at all a Democratic vioto ry, but a fusion of both parties. This was cer tainly broUght about by the 'potion of &Jew par ties ittlthe ',Convention. ; , _l9lay. tbo very ticket Was repudiated, and, when too late, dropped,r; This I believe to be the prime cause of the split, although there are many other masons assign. ed. Bet the fight Is over, and, in the language of one now gone, "„we have met the enemy and we are theirs;" brit still We live, having ,heard glorious news from afar. But enough of our politics, as I see by your columns that you have your h ands full at home. Wo are now having rain every day, and night too; and X assure you nojdrissles, but rains that are to be found nowhere, I belieVe, on earth ex cept this part of God's moral vineyard. It se riously interferes with taking in the fodder, and is also ruinous to cotton. Our corn does very well, also rice. It is thought our orop all thro' will fall off one-third. We have bad some more " onpleasantness." This time it happens right here, and is still clou ded in mystery. On the night of the 10th inst. a row was commenced. Early in the evening one shot was fired, and nobody hit, but upon 'examination one colored man found badly out in the face , and shoulder. After having hilt wounds attended' to, we repaired to i saloon for the purOse of obtaining some of the oreaturb comforts, when the stillness of the night was again broken by the repOrt of - lrearmr, , and close at that. The shot was very successful, for it Struck" five different ppciple. 'The g4n,was loaded with duck shot: ' One man has six in his leg, the others ranging from one to five. From the appearance of everything, the 'hot was fired very close. . There can be no reason given for the shooting of these men, as they were sitting quietly on the stops of the saloon, talking.— Everybody is excited now, and truly you will think it is time, when such lively little surprise parties come off every now and then. I send by this titan the Kingstree` Star and the first boll of cotton 'ticked on my place::.o J. 8. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IDI WILLIAMS FORT.—On Sunday, the 20th instant, about 8 P.
