TOMLINBON. liET pa HAVE PEACE, Senator Qanjr IH la a PaaUloa to Make Harmony la the Repub lican Party at Oa«e. Since Senator Quay's two over whelming defeates in Lackawanna county, following his defeat in Clear field and Sullivan, the newspapers which are waging his "campaign of assassination" against the State ads ministration are one and all crying out for compromise and peace. The terms of compromise they propose are simple, State Chairman Gilkeson is to be abandoned by his supporters and Senator Quay will then with draw from the fight and put one of his lieutenants—Andrews, Leach, Waives or some other —in his place. This is the old compromise of the turkey and the buzzard over again. Said the white man to the Indian, "You take the buzzard and I will take the turkey, or 1 will take the turkey and you take the buzzaid. It ia such a compromise as .Beaure gard might have proposed to the gallant Major Andresou at Fort Sumter: "You needn't surrender to me. Just haul down your flag and give up the fort to one ol my lieutenants." If Senator Quay will only consent to peace, nobody else need be con sulted, and no terms of compromise need be consulted, and no terms of compromise need be formulated. He has only to cease making war. The Republican party in Pennsylvania has nothing that it wants to fight but the Democracy. It was in a slate of profound and healthy peace until Seuator Quay, without warning, ex planation or excuse, saying only that he would "mention his reasons" after the fight is over, declared war on the Republican administration and the Republican organization which had elected it by a quarter of a million majority. Under such cir cumstances, a party which would not rise up to defend itn own elected leaders against such an attack would be beneath contempt, and an admin istration which would suffer itself to be insulted aud assailed wi'hout striking back would make every Republican ashamed who voted for it. Wo. all want peace, but it must be peace without dishonor. It cannot be had at the cost of kicking out Chairman Gilkeson, f<»r no reason under heavens save that. Senator Quay doesn't want him there, and substituting Andrews or some other willing tool of Senator Quay's am bition to rule the party as an abso lute tyrant. The compromise sug gested, indeed, is 110 change from Senator Quay's original program, for it is well understood that Quay's victory means Andrews as the actual chairman. The work of the coming! session of Congress will demand Senator Quay's constant presence at Washington, and Andrews, n= in ,90, will run the iiicliine. We believe that the Republican party generally has all Ihe experience of Air. Andrews as a State chairman that it is wiiii:itc to take at the price.—Suubury Anivr can.

Icmhl ol the Pin* White Mm On the North awl West Branch ol the HaH"ehann. By Wx. Miylibt. The writer in reviewing material for our oounty history has been led by recent publications of Meginness in his Historical Journal to compile the followiDg paper, taken from Miner's History of Wyoming, Craft's of Bradford, publications of Megin ness, and the Now and Then, pub lished by Gurnard of Muney. In the summer of 1618 Etinne Brule in company witli frencli traders from Canada peuetratcd tbe wilder ness along the west branch, making a record of the names of streams and other subjects of local impor tance and by so doing prepared the way for subsequent adventurers and traders. The Susquehanna Indians were early trained to the use of tire arms. Shortly after the Sweeds eunie, in IG3B they induced three of their soldiers to join them and teach them the European modes of war. It is believed that the Indian forts at the mouth of Sugar creek, near Towanda were erected under their supervision. For a number of years after the first appearance of the Europeans, the Indians of the Snsquehanna were in constant warfare with other tribes who were making inroads upon them. In 1661 tbe legislature of Mary land authorized the Governor to aid them with the provincial forces. Tbeir strength was estimated in 16- 47 as being able to put into the field one thousand three hundred warriors trained in the use of fire arms, and by 1672 they were so reduced that they were only able to muster 300. The places of their villages were well known, but they abandoned the country about Wyoming as early as 1650. The Iriquioss then became the ruling power and by forming a confedracy with five other nations exercised supremacy over a large extent of country from Canada to the southern border of Pennsylvania. Tioga (now Athens) was made the southern enteranee to the confeder acy and at Shamokin, present Sun bery the great council had a viceroy. From two maps showing the loca tion of Indian villages, one found in the history of Bradford county and the other in the Now and Then of February 1890, it is found that near ly all tbe Indian trails through Nor th-central Pennsylvania converge to one or the other of these places, the road most frequently mentioned connecting these points is known on both maps as the Sheshequin path. This path takes a westerly course from a point a short distance above Towanda and following alony Sugar creek to the western border of the county, thence south to Lycoming creek and following the course of the creek to the West Branch crossing the river and following nearly a direct line to the moulh of White Deer creek and from thence the river hank down to a point opposite Sunbury. The enteranee of either white men or that of Indians of other tribes than those who were tributary to the confederacy were requested to report to one or the other of these two points. For many years the French seem to have been the only European nation who kept up an in tercourse with these Indians. A map of tbe Susquehanna river made in 1701 locates James LeFort's store at the site ot Northumberland. He was Known as an Indian trader. In 1728 the Colonial Governor of Penn sylvania sent white messengers to visit Shamokin. Following this date we come to the first mention of Conrad Weiser who for many years was in the employ of the Govern ment as Indian Agent and Iterperter. He waß also the great reliance of first Moravean Missionaries in their efforts to beoome acquainted with the Indians. Mention is made of his visits both on the North and West Branch in 1737. In 1742 Nicholas Louis, commonly known as Count Zinzindorf who had arrived in America tbe year previous in the capaoity of Bishop of the Moravian Mission commenced, per sonally his labors in breaking ground among the more remote Indian villa ges. Securing aid from Weiser in obtaining an assistant who could converse with the people he went to Wyoming in the month of Septem ber 1742 and spent 20 days in suc cessful labor when be returned to the mission station at Bethlehem, Shortly after, during October, he in company with Weiser and three missionaries visited the Indian vil lage at the mouth of Loyalsock creek where Madame Montour then resided. From this date the visits of Moravian missionaries who made a dally record of their labors furnished the principal ma terial for tbe Indian history. In 1743 John Bartram and Lewis j Evans in pursuit of scientific and > geographical information aceom* panied wilh Indian guides, Set tfUt on horseback firom Philadelphia oH the 3d of July for a tour of observa-' tion to the Northern lakes and the borders of Canada, from their pub lished observations they doubtless followed the Sheshequin path from Sunbury reaching' the head water 9 of the Towanda creek on the 15th and the next day reached Tioga point—' Athens. From that point they pass ed up the Susqueluuina and made thejourney through the lakecountry. On the 7th of August they returned to Tioga and reached the divide tween the Towanda and Lycoming creeks two days later. This tour of observation doubtless had au impor tant relation to the settlement of our country. Two important publica tions were afterwards made in Lou don by tlicm, viz: ''Observations on the Inhabitants, Climate, Soil Productions, made by John Bartram in his travels Irom Pennsylvania to Lake Ontario in Canad:)," "A Uen~ eral Map of the Middle British Col onics, by Lewis Evans." These publications would attract English adventurers to the route of their travels and among those early known to make large investments were Priestly and Vaughn. An im portant land mark first noted by them but 3 miles west of the border line of our county was the poiut of divide between the Towanda and Lycoming creeks, the following is from Bartram's notes, "This, like a bridge between the north-east and north-west branches of the Susque hanna here is a spring from whence the water runs to both branches." This point was an important one in the Indian treaty of 1768 and from that date to the erection of our county in 1847 was an important one In fixing the respective boundaries of all the surrounding counties.
