Notice is especially directed to the fact that, in accordance with the provisions of the last men tioned act, each Senatorial district is entitled to a representation of three delrgates in said Con stitutional Convention, two of whom only canbe members of the majority party In said district. The electors of each dtstrtct are therefore re quested to make proper nominations for dele gates to said convention, the rules governing the nomination of candidates for Siate Senator to be atmllcablc. In this connection the Chairman desires to call the attention of Itepubllcan voters to the recom mendatlon of the State Convention of 1832, that "they allow the greatest freedom in the general participation in the primaries consistent with the preservation of the party organization." 1VST. II ANDREWS, Chairman. Thk Philadelphia Star says that the experiments of a few clays ago with the great twelve-Inch American made s teel gun having proved a grand success, we may hereafter look to our own gun fac tories for coast defences. The big gun tried on Saturday showed its capacity by sending a shell twelve miles. Now that that point has been settled, we shall have no further occasion for the services of Mynheer Krupp's great es tablishment. What has become of"that bankrupt t treasury cry? The bottom has already dropped out of that tub. The treasury is not bankrupt the government is funding its 4 per cent, bonds at 2 per , cent., and the country everywhere Is prosperous and happy.

At any distance from the seaboard, It was then difficult to get more than three shillings 37J cents for wheat. Now It is in the neighborhood of $1 anywhere in the Uulted States. Then It took one nud a half bushels of wheat to buy a yard of calico. Now one bushel will buy 20 yards. In 1800 coarse brown sugar cost 18 cents a pound. Now Hue white sugar can be bought for 6 cents. Before the war 6 cents was the cus tomary price for eggs in the greater part of the country lying west of the Alleghenlea, and it took from two to three dozen eggs to get ayard of calico.

Tho political prognosticator of tho Daily Repuilican gots off tho following goms on tho situation in the Democratlo ranks s Tho candidacy of Han. James B. Koilly for Judge was sprung last night by tho Chronicle and is apparently not unauthor ized. Tho Republicans havo hoeu expect ing this all nlong. Mr. Reilly, expressod and impliod indifloronoo to tho Judgeship as boon a matter of merrimont to mon who havo an oyo opon to pissing events. Tho Democrats want tho othor Judgeship ml no matter what they may think fa orablo ot Nash and Wadlinger, thoy think their only political hopo is llr. Roilly, who la tho leading politician of thorn all, especially when ho has a chair man like Haley behind him to push tho column. Tho Republicans aro by no moan9 asloop n its Judgeship business. They are not expecting a picnic in tho campaign such us thoy would havo in case of tho nomination of oithor of tho candidates who havo been publicly announced, Rellly can havo tho nomination if ho wants it. Scbalck will tako it if Koilly don't waut it, and Marr is tho dark horso itf grooming abovo the mountain, in caso noitber of thoso want it. Theso two Pottsvillo mon aro lor Joo Woll for Sheriff, and will forego their Judgo-hip aspirations this yoar, as they aro still young men, and by making AVoll Sheriff they will gain a hold on bis frlonds which will servo them woll In future cam paigns. Chairman Healy don't know what to do with his organization this yoar. They aro ail at war on tho national question. Espec ally is this tho case on tho Judxoship. Wadlinger s frionds aro working a great racket against tho Shonandoah News and tho Irish. Of course tho News and Hash are making the most of tho situation, and may come out ahead in tho convention. The Nash gang aro not sleoping, but tho Wadlinger folks aro whetting thoir knivos, while thoy behold thoir hopos docaying. Thou there is tho Joo Woll crowd I Joo wants to bo Sheriff. He has "put up" for tho swag before, and is in it again for keeps. no won't do Wadlinger any good, but on tho othor hand is a power' in bohalf of Nash. He can carry tho Gorman element himself and wants Nash to help him through with tho boys who woar the groen. Tho Journal is authority that John F.

From tho slmi larity of tho work dono, it was boliovud by the Post Offico Inspectors to bo tho same gang, and Ihoy woro believed to havo their headquarters in Kichmond. A drill which was found among tho captured tools is entirely now to tho dotoctivos.
