One would bo led to think, from the tenor of the I-cwistown Gazette. radical, that ita> party i* spot!s and made up altogether of saint*; tliat all radioa! of fice-holders are patterns of honesty, tit to go right off into heaven with boots on. It puts down HartranA and liis party as consistent on the temperance question: thinks Treasurer Mackey is honest to the core: that there is no thieving Indian ring at Washington notwithstanding the recent exposure*, and that generally and particularly, the rotten, thieving; plundering crew to which it clings, is innocent as a lauih. That kind of white-wash won't stick, Mr. Gazette, and can not be put on thick enough to cover ali the rascalities prac ticed under your state and national ad ministrations. The William* port Bulletin, a red-hot radical sheet, in speaking of the oontc*t for the democratic senatorial nomina tion in the district says, "It is a district "in which the Republican* naturally "have little interest, the majority again*! "them being very large, but it is never "theless in their power to compel the "Democrats to nominate a good man." Just what the rads now desire that the democrat* nominate a corrupt man, which give* them hope to defeat him, as it Is evident that the people will uot vote for ringster* and rooster*, l.et the democracy take warning and nominate a pure nun. Tamanyism was killed in New York, and the democracy of Pennsylvania will follow the example and put down their Bos* Tweeds here. All we want is an honest mau—anything else will go under. Boecher got a hundred thousand w hen it was over, now what is Elizabeth going to get? If Henry Ward was innocent why of course then Elisabeth is pure as well as poor. If Plymouth church can now make a great fuss over their pastor because the jury did not agree about his innocence, then why not have a big re ception for Elizabeth and a general handshaking and congratulation over her in Plymouth style, because she had as much to do with the recent fuss, play ed as big a part in it, as the Plymouth pastor. It really looks as though the congregation was disposed to be a little reserved with Elizabeth, and they leave her on a sort -of ragged edge, while Beeeher went off rejoicing with a cool hundred thousand jingling in his pocket and a three months' vacation. If they keep shy of Elizabeth now, it must be because the Plymoutbites seem to think her not altogether clear of suspicion, and the same mistrust would make sus picion (all upon the pastor. The right way would have been to have Henry Ward and Elizabeth, arm in arm, to ap pear before a full assembly of the Ply mouth congregation, when brother Sherman could liave got up and called for "three cheer* for brother Beeeher and Elizaljeth," thus showing publicly their appreciation of the two at the a&me time and with the same round of cheers—for cheers are frequently had in Plymouth church. This is the way we would have had the thing done in Cen* tre county. If Plymouth church can embrace Beeeher, it must also embrace j Elizabeth just as their pastor once em braced her. We last week made note of the treaty of peace that was framed in Huntingdon county by the two radical factions which have been pulling each others' hair for some years. But it appears that the thing has not simmered down to a point of quietude, and that while the hatchet is buried, there is still a part of the han dle sticking oat. The editor of the Ty rone Herald, a radical paper who went down to Huntingdon to see the'smoking of the of peace, does not seem to think that things are so pleasant, he says: "The only concession made was by the .Scott Committee, when they agreed to the old system of allowing two dele gates to the county Convention front each election district, instead upon the basis of fifty, as adopted two years ago. ''Both factions are disappointed, for neither got what they wantai. Some of the best men on both sides seem irre concilably dissatisfied, and, in all proba bility will not vote the ticket this fall, but there will be but one Republi can convention, but one Republican ticket in the field, and wc predict its tri umphant election. Many of those now bitterly hostile to the new order of things, will repent of their rashness be fore the election takes place, and wheel into line, rather than see the Democracy sweep all the stakes from the board. A fight that had become as personal and as bitter as the one in Huntingdon county, cannot be healed in a day or a year. Time alone can wipe out the bit ter personalities of the last six years. Neither side have got just what they wanted, and neither side is altogether satisfied, but enough have agreed to the compact to make it binding, so far as such things go. There must be some changes yet, which may cause a little trouble." In another column the same paper says: The Huntingdon Journal heartily en dorses the work of the tuo County Committees last Friday, and calls upon all KapubJicans to unite as one man in support of the union. The Globe is ■our, caustically bitter, and in a column article, calls upon the friends of the edi tor to support him in opposing the "patched up conspiracy" of Woods and Orlady. It seems that GUSH has been de serted "in the house of his friends." He is very severe on some persons, who, of all others, ought to be his friends, and whom he has served not wisely but too well. We recently warned democrats against the new bastard political party, known as the Sons of 76. This is only a pocket edition of know-notbingism, under the leatFOT Bill Brown, and his like, to take off democratic vote 6 in Centre county. Now hear what Brown my* of his party, iQ his last week's Advocate—his 76ers, he calif the workmens party: & [From Brown's Advocate, The loaders of the Democratic party need not themselves that the workmen of thi* Commonwealth are going to rush indiscriminately into the arms of their party. It i* trtte that many of them voted the Democratic ticket last fall, whilst others of their number remained away from the poll*, 'thereby contributing largely to the Democratic victory of last year. Their action at that time was a necessity, as no other means existed whereby they could record their earnest protest against the general cnsacdnea* <>f those who then run and still continue to run I the government machine. That uocos i sit> doe* no longer exist, and lwfore the ' Democracy can reasonably expect any I support from the workmen they must I first show some e\ iileneo of simx'ritv in their profession by actual demonstra tion. t wo til* t/forr < t.v///rn> I The Clinton IVniocrat ha* a few tilting | observation* which we endorse, and I commend to tlie democracy oft cut re However much opinion* may differ about there being fhil crop* of grain thi* season, we presume there t* no one who doubts that there i* quite a full crop of candidates.

I FIRST GfS FRoM )IRoW\F. I'Ro. HIBITIOS V.ISDIPATF FoRCOY ERSOR. { Delivered before the Mercer County Pro hibition Convention When I heard the proposition made that I should sjieak I felt a desire to do I so. But when 1 reflected on the time of day I feared that it would intrude on your business, and so expressed myself; nevertheless, 1 accepted the invitation in kindne®?. lam just off the r-ad and feel unfitted to make remark*. But throwing myself on your kindness 1 pro ceed. During your proceeding—a jart of which I heard—recent conversions to the prohibition faith were compared to that of Saul of Tarsus. 1 myself am a new convert, but 1 w as not a Saui of Tar sus. 1 did not persecute prohibition. I am not a convert on intemperance, but a convert from the Republican to the Prohibition jiarty. The Republican par ty converted me. By a Democratic House and a Republican Semite the nail was driven home to the head, and then clinched on the other side by the Re publican Governor llariranft. [Cheers.] The Republican jiarty is no more the party we helped to organ ire. It is dead. When a party is dead we ought to bury it. The Republican party was organized to accomplish a great work, which it lias noble done, and is uow without an ob ject. The liquor work is a great work— a work yet to be accomplished. I ads dress a convention to-day as does not of ten meet to do so grand a work. We are weak now, but when "shall we be stronger?" He is not wise that despises the day of small things. I was coutent to accept a position that subject* me to contempt. I have not sought it; but be ing in it I mean work. If there is a vote of fifty thousand this fail it will be a mighty triumph. Twelve thousand votes last (all in the .State of New York held that State iu check. You may hold the balance of power in this State; if not now, at least at an eariy day. How could you respect yourselves if you should not act this fall in view of the actions of the parties who have not re spected those men who came within for ty-eight thousand of carrying the State, and in forty-one counties were for pro hibition. Had our leaders let local op tion alone the people would have had u chance to speak again, but they did not want to hear the people speak again. The Supreme Court decided, that the lo cal option act was constitutional, and yet it was repealed at the dictation of the friends of the liquor traffic. They tell us that more liquor was sold then than under license. It is as Ca*sar says, that "men believe that which they wish to believe." The repeal is a stroke at popular liberty. We had a Governor that could by one stroke of his j>en have said, we will await the will of the people wiio may speak again in a year. If he had done so he wonld liave merited the confidence of the people, and would have gone with a rush into the gubernatorial chair this fall; he would have lieen re elected overwhelmingly. What now re mains? The last refuge of freemen—the ballot. That is certainly not the best party which would rob us of this weapon of defense ; and this the existing parties have attempted. I was truer to the Re publican principles than most of tlie men who speak of it so loudly. 1 love its principles, but I believe it is hope lessly destroyed. The hand writing is on the wall. It has beeoine a liquor party. The ballot remains to us, the hope of freemen. To vote with Republicans is to have prohibition tacked on to steady the kite which is fastened by a string to the whisky ring and led by them at pleasure. I have not a word to say against Governor HartranA as a man. But when as a politician he did what lie did, I say now I am ready to smash par ties. Now lam tlie candidate of a re spectable party. Numbers do not make respectability. I am sorry that some men have the number of our votes at the coming election. If there are three par ties this fall, you have a strong party. I think by the way Republican* talk they think that they are beaten. Now I ap peal to Republican friends not to throw away their votes this fall on Governor HartranA or on Henry ltawle. [Cheers.] A MODOC OS THE REPORTER. [From the Detn. Watchman of 23.] The Centre Hall Reporter oftbis week, and the Republican of lust, fully agree as to who should be the Democratic nominees at the coming convention. Whether the two papers —both in the interest of the radical party —l>oth la boring to create divisions in the ranks of the Democracy—will be able to dic tate the Democratic tieket, remains to be seen. A mistake on the part of the Modoc organ. The Republican is—and will ad mitit—in frfvor of Hepk for Senator, and so is Brown, the leader of the '76ers. The only real division we ever had, was the Modoc treason, which was bred in and got its votes from Meek's camp. Both the radical papers favor Gray, be- 1 eaue they are under obligations to him for services rendered by him to their party on the Modoc movement and on his selling out the Philadelphia demo crat* to the ring on the Building com mission, which the Republican lui* ad mitted, and which the Philadelphia Age has proven. luroKTAsr i n; 1/ nt:cisio\. At the la*t term of xuirt, hehi in this county,a dcci*ion w.ts rendered ty his Honor Judge Williams, that i* of gn.it im]S*rtamc to the owners of unseated lands, lumbermen and purchaser* of land at tax sales. In the ea*o of Mer -oreuu \s. Harris et 1., the plaintiff pnr chased at the Jttne sale* in I*7l two tracts of land belonging to tin 1 defen dants for which be received a deed from the t\>uuty Treasurer but win ter the defendants without redeeming the land* let the job of taking oil tin pine timber, and bad taken <>tl idmut two million feet, when the plaintitt ap plied by bill for mi injunction to restrain the defendants from cutting until they should redeem the land* Judge Will iams at fhauibere granted a rule retur liable at court, to show cause why an in junction should uot issue, t'jioii hear ing the argument he refused to grant the injunction, and on motion diMui**<d (he bill. The Judge held that the purchaser at tax sale took no title. That the owner oflhe laud at the tiiue of the tax sale retained the legai title, with ail the rights ot ownership That he could cut and remove the timber, or anything else that might W on it or a part of the land, the same a* though the land had not bceen sold for taxes. Thai the purchas er had no right under his tax deeds un til the expiration of the term of redemp tion ; and no remedy in law or equity, although the owner might remove all the UIUIHT or anything else of value oil th;- land before the two year* expired, and thus, if the laud w.u- of no value ex cept for timber, compel the unltuky purchaser at tax *.dc to lose the money he had paid the County Treasurer for the iauds. This ruling was a great surpri-o to the legal profession, a* the opjo*ile view of the question had prevailed generally amoug attorneys, and on account of the acknowledged legal ability of Judge Williams the decision is the most impor tant ever rendered in this county. Without some legislation to protect pur chaser* it w ill not hereafter be safe for any one to bid Off land at treasurer's sales, as before the time for redemption expires the ow ncr may strip the land of all its value, and leave the unlucky pur chaser with nothing but his treasurer's deed and an empty purse to remind him of his investuiwiit fbi* of course i* a great and serious defect in the t.i law*, and mile** remedied will make it In! * cult, if not impossible to collect taxes on a large portion of the unseated lands, a* a largo portion are valuable only for the timber there- is on them and with the timber removed they are not worth the taxes. —[Emporium IndejK-ndent ] "When the Democrat* surrendered co; - lre>! of the State administration of Penn sylvania, the tleht of the Com moo wealth wat over forty million* It hat tinco Men decreatcJ, by the prudent management of Republican official* to 23,000.0W, uuh in the linking fund, making ilia actual indebtednea* at the preteni time about sifuX),ouO.'

OIJK EXPORT TRADE Tbo demand for our breaJsluffs, cotton and petroleum for foreign shipment i the mutt raging ir.diction of bettor time* and renewed for tbi* country which ha* occurred since the panic w flS73. Last year the market for our fine grain crop* wa* so dead and lifcles* that only a small portion oi our surplus was disputed of at remunerative price*. Now, all it changed. The failure ot the crop* in Eu rope ha* not been anticipated and the ac cumulation of breadstuff* in the band* of dealer* are totally inadequate to supply tbc want* of consumer* until another crop can be sown and reaped. A sudden demand ha* been too result and It is likely that during the temporary .carcity of supplies prices will be higher than they will be af ter it i* satisfactorily ascertained that this country is ablo to supply the deficiency in the European harvest. The results of this revival of export trade are thus speculated upon by the Philadelphia Ledger : "Advancing price* lor food supplies are generally not very welcome conditions even as preparatory to a revival of trade, but iu the present commercial condition of the United States they bring some com pensating advantage.. L-rrge numbers of American farmers have bad two o. three poor seasoiis, some of them short crops, and all of thrm low prices, and they have had as much as they could do to provide necessaries, with scarcely any surplus money to spend for improvement* or for manufactured good*. IJentelko demand for goods in many country districts, towns and village* ha* fallen off, and this, with the depression everywhere, ha* prevented an activity in general trade. Stagnation ha* been the rule, and anything that will stir up commercial life will, we think, be welcomed by the community, avail though it begins with advancing prices. The fur met sells his surplus wheat for cash, and the more money he gets for it the more good* he can affotd to buy. It to this is added a large corn brop, of which there is now every prospect, then the agricultural measures of liuppiner* will be full, and wo may hope in a short time to see trade moving with some activity, for the mo ment the furmert, who are by far the ino-t numerous class, begin buying, then the demand for goods springs up, manufactur ing and mechanical work becomes acthc, and employment get* brisk in all branches. Tbalimmediate beginning of activity may come through this foreign demand fur American brendstufi'*, nnjJ the transporta tion facilities which will consequently be required will mid to the activity. The railways with their army ofemployes will bo benefited, and, in fact, they arc already feeling the impulse in the transportation of thousand* of ear loud* of wheat from the west to the seaboard under the stimu lus of the recent foreign demand. To cur ry wheat and Hour across the ocean idle ships have been called into requisition, and this is not only giving employment at this time to every vf**ol suitable for the trade, but the demand is in excess of the supply, and the merchant'* heart is once more gladdened by increasing freight rates. Once started, the stimulus extend* through gvery branch of the foreign trade, so that there is now an increased demand for ves sels at advancing freights, not only for breadstuff*, but also for petroleum, cotton and pretty much every kind of American produce carried across the ocean. So much of prom i; 0 for the general business of the United States depends'upon this re vival of the breaditufii and shipping trades, that we give it prominence, believ- Ing that the advancing prii c* will be more than compensated by the Impulse given to general employment and to all branches of business."

The stale treasurer refused to recognise the committee, denied that they hail anv an thority to investigate, and would not per mit their accountant lo even look at the books or papers. • a • Upon this refusal of the stale treasurer to permit a full and free investigation, (he committee might have rested, conscious that tho people of the state would not have required tho committee to go further, until the house reasembled, it* power was in voked, its dignity maintained, and the books and papers of the treasury opened to a searching and untratmneled investiga tion. But the committee have not given uw the; inquiry on which they started. The best) means at their command have been resort-; ed to. • • • ♦ 9 • • ; In this connection the committee csli at tention to the following facts : -The amendment to the constitution of IH.'W, adopted in 1837, provided that "unlvm In 1 a*e of war. invasion or Insurrection, no part of the sinking fund shall be u<ad or applied otherwise than In the extinguish ment of the public debt, until the amount ol such di-bl Is teduced hstow tho sum of L five millions of dollars.'' A similar pro vision Wns inserted in the constitution ofj ' j1873 These would seem to he sufficiently plain and explicit to prevent any inroads upon tlint fund Yet, on page 39 of the repirt of I the stale treasurer fir 1873 will lie found , this entry ( "By 1 rrdil authorised to be made under 11 resolution of the c< nitttisaiolier* of the • inking fund, date Ma v '), 1874. being the whole amount of fund* used for ! getieial purituse* since the i< creation ot tho lund $2,867.817.32 The first use of any part of the sinking 1. fund icxeriuit for other purposes than the I payment of the public debt appears to have I ticeii made about !HI6 From that lime to i 1874, the large sum ol nearly three miltiom j ofdollais was withdrawn Had this mon ey been applied to the Use* contemplated | by the constitution, the stale debt would . have lie 11 thai much less, May IHh, 1874 II The committee are aware lhat an act wa* approved April 14th, 1870, authorising the , commissioner* of the sinking fund, in a certain contingency, to permit the slatr p-usurcr lo use a part of the sinking fund - revenues for tho current expense* u| the got tu iiuienl. A> to the validity of this set or it* cofiihci w lib the Constitutional pro vision* above quoted, the Committee will not now express any opinion. Buiihcydo call attention to this fact The public sc 'count* show that more than one-half ol the $2,867,817-82 was withdrawn from the ) lund before tlie nit of April I4th, 1870, was " pa.-sed And withdrawn, *0 far us the 1, committee is able l<i discover, without the , shadow ot a legal sanction. Such open Ijdisiugard of the plainest constitutional provisions cannot but have a pernicious effect on the umrality and probity of pub lic officers.

Of course, the state treasurer cannot law- 1 1 fully appropriate any interest on the pub lie money* to his ovrn use. To do so, would be to render himself liable to fine, impris onment and removal from office, (act of > March 31, IB**i,: or to impeachment and ' removal front office, (act of May 'J. 1874 ' , Yet, every oar must realise that it is not in accordance th the conduct of human > affairs, that this large balance should have 1 | been drpositad With various bank* and monetary institutions, at a UQir, too, w hen I capital wat demanding and receiving large • | returns, and no interest havo been paid lo , tho depositor. But if paid, where ha* it gone? The committee cannot find that one Cent ever reached the coffer* of the state. ' ■ A way to utilise the balance in the tre ury, to the benefit of tbe state, ha* been open since the sinking fjnd *> • -Übli*h -1 ed. These balance* were a pari of the > sinking fund revrnue*. The sole purpose | of the creation of lhat fund was the pay ment ot the public debt, and to that all the i moneys should be applied at rapidly as re ceived. Buoti are the directions of all the ' acts of assembly relating thereto. That of May sfth, 1674. how ever, it the moat explic it in tls terms. It is there provided that: "It shall be the duty of the commusion -1 er# of the sinking fund, on the first busi ( nx, day of each month, to prepare a state- 1 ment of the totl amount of money in said fUnd, which having been verttted l*y oath 1 or affirmation, shall be published in two ' newspapers In Harriaburg, for public in. 1 ' formation. Th# commissioner, of the sink ' : ing fund (ball also, on the first business 1 day of the month of May. August. Novem- 1 1 ber and February, in eeih and every year | hereafter, apply all moneys In the sinking fund to the redemption of an equivalent ' amount of tbe public debt." This seems a very easily understood law. j' But il has not been obeyed. At no time 1 since it* enactment h* all money in the sinking fund, on the first bustnes# day of 1 May, August, November and February, ' 1 been applied lo the redemption ot an ' equivalent amount of the public debt On the contrary only a small portion of it ha* • been this applied The official papers prove that on Muy " 9th, 1874, tho day the act was approved, ' there was a ba'ance in the sinking fund of ' $ 1.230,75'.'. 11. and there was but $48,055 84 ] ' of the debt redeemed during the balance i of the month of May. On the 31st of July there wa* a balance ' 1 in the fund of $626,978.35, and there was 1 but $)6,801.48 of the debt rejeenved during ' the month of August. On the 31st of October, 1874, there a ' balance in the fund of $470,579 26. and ' thorn was but $96,677 50 of the debt re- ' deemed during the month of November. On the 31st of January, 1875, there was 1 : a balance in the fund of $1,153.156 86, and ' there was but $6,553.91 of the debt re deemed during the month ot February. * On the 30lh of April, 1875. there wain ' balance In the f..J of $1,427,407.18. and 1 i but $432,350.00 of the public debt redeem-j * ed during the month of May. No excuse can bo offered for a similar.' disregard of the act in tho future. The' first business day of August, 1876, is the ' next day on which, according to the pro - , f visions of the act, all moneys in the sinking fund should be applied to the redemption' of an equivalent amount of tho public debt, •' and the commissioners must publish intwo * newspapers in llnrrisburg a statement of t the amount in the fund at the beginning of * the month, and another at the end of the j month, exhibiting the amount of the debt ' I redeemed. It i# certainly important that ' the act bo complied with. There is no bet-! r ter guard against the corrupt use of public j 8 moneys than an empty treasury. In this v instance it is the command of the law that '' tho sinking fund balance be exhausted '' four times a year. Jt j* for J!ve public gooj v that tlie iaw lie complied with, and tbe h peoplts'a money used to pay their debts, * that the grinding weight of interest be lifted and tlie temptations of a plethoric purse removed. The committee would further mention that tin-act directing these payment* 11 Lo . declares it to he a misdemeanor in office I for nny oftlio commissioners oflho sinking J fund to neglect or refuse to perform any ot j the duties enjoined upon them by this act, s and for such neglect qr refusal thov may a be impeached and removed from office. ® But while tho law hitherto has seemed to be it dead letter, and its ti-nukies defied, better things hoped for in the future. The committee feul (hat they have but . just entered upon the work before them A full investigation may not bo accom- plished until impediments intorposod by t the stalo treasurer are removed. The boat n efforts of tho committee, however, will be |- given until every transaction has been ex- r i posed to tbe test of a searching examine- p turn. " O. 11. RKIUHARD, Chairman.
