BULLOCK and Capt. B.|B. MITCHELL, Secreta
ries.
On motion, the Chairman appointed the
following committee on Resolutions: N. C.
ELSERKH, It. It. PALMER. J. F. GII.LETT,
B. B. MITCHELL and E. G. OWEN.
After deliberation the Committee reported
the following which were unanimously adop
ted :
1. Resolved., That we denounce in un
measured terms the dastardly, wicked at
tack of the assassin Guiteau upon the
life of President Garfield, and hoartily
joiu with our fellow countrymen of all
sections in extending our sympathy to
himself and his family, with the hope
that through the blessing of Divine Provi
dence he may yet recover to resume the
reins of government, and carry out the
policy so auspiciously entered upon.
That we rejoice with joy unspeakable,
that the improvement in the condition of
the President in the past fow days affords
a lively hope of his ultimate and full
recovery.
2. Resolved, That we congratulate the
country upon the wise and successful fi
nancial policy of the past and of the pres
ent National Administrations, and es
pecially do wo comineud the efforts of
tho present administration to root out
organized corruption in every depart
ment of the government as evidenced in
the prosecution of the conspirators in the
Star-route and other frauds.
-J. Resolved, That we commend the
course of lion. Edward Overton, our
member of the last Congress from this
district, who represented faithfully and
with honor and ability the interests of
his constituents.
4. Resoked. That the general prosperi
ty of all the material industries of our
Commonwealth evinces the wisdom and
soundness of our present State adminis
tration.
5. Resolved, That we approve the
course of our Senator ami Representatives
in the last Legislature ; their independent
action relative to the choice of United
States Senator was demanded by an out
spoken, pronounced sentiment of their
constituents, and in acting with respect
to that sentiment they but performed a
recognized public duty.
fi. Resolved, That we emphatically de
clare as the sense of this Convention, that
the compensation of the County Treasur
er should be reduced, fifteen hundred dol
lars or less per annum. In no event to ex
ceed that amount,and we earnestly recom
mend that our County Commissioners so
fix the Treasurer's compensation.
7. Rejoiced, That in making purchases
for the County Poor House, we recom
mend that the Commissioners take, bills
in duplicate of all purchases, and that one
copy of all bills be filed with the Superin
tendent of the Poor House at the time of
delivery of the goods purchased, and that
he keep a book of entry of same in detail.

resenting the sentiment of the Republi
cans of Bradford County, e rnestly recom
mend tho nomination of Hon. VV. T.
Davies by tho Republican State Conven
tion, which assembles on Thursday next,
for the ofiieeof Siate Treasurer, believing
that his nomination would bo eminently
wise and proper in the present political
♦ xigcncies in Pennsylvania, and would
insure party success.
9. Resolved, That as the representatives
of tho Republican sentiment of Bradford
County we deciaro that it is theduty of the
Legislature to submit to a vote of the
people a proposition to so amend the
Constitution of the State as to prohibit

OFFICIAL BULLETINS.
6 :30 P. M.
! . Since the last bulletin was issued the
President has been moved from Washing
ton to Long Branch. He was more rest
less than usual last night, beiug evidently
somewhat excited by the anticipations ol
the journey. This morning at 5 :30 his
pulse was 118; temperature, 99.8; respi
ration, 18. We lelt Washington with the
I President at 0.30 A. M. Owing to the ad
mirable arrangements made by the Penn
sylvania Railroad Cyrapany and the inge
niously arranged bed designed by T. N.
Ely, the fatigue incident to transportation
was reduced to a minimum. Neverthe
less, as was anticipated, some signs of
disturbance produced by the journey,
have been exhibited since his arrival by
the rise ot temperature and the increased
frequeucy of his pulse. At present his
pulse is 124, temperature 101.0, respira
tion 18.
