TUB I»KMO«:KA^Y OF PENJi.SYIiVANBA. The Pennsylvania Democratic State Convention assembled at Harrisbunr on the L4th. Asa Packer, a millionaire and Peace Lemoerat, was nomi nated for Governor on the second ballot. Gen. W. S. Hancock received twenty-two votes on the first ballot, out of a total ol one hundred and seventy-nine. The result shows that Pennsylvania Democrats believe more in the power of money than in a wnr record. The resolutions adopted declared against the exercise of doubt ful constitutional power that Pennsylvania would never give up selfgovernment that the ratification of the Fifteenth .Amendment should go before the people that the negro should not have the ballot that the finances need reform that labor reform should be encouraged that the whole reconstruction policy tends to destroy republican government and establish tyranny that our soldiers should not be forgotten that our sympathies shall be given to nations struggling for liberty, and that our system oi' taxation is burdensome, and shonld be done away with.

SKNTER is getting ahead in the eontest for the Governor's chair in Tennessee. Two recent decisions of the Supreme Court, one making voters of about 15,000 persons, not active participants in the rebellion, who were denied the right of suffrage on account of giving aid and sympathy, and the other aflirming the power of the Governor to remove Registrars, have contributed greatly to his strength. But the war is not over yet, as arrangements have been made by Stokes and Senter for a joint canvas of the whole State.

IF we should ever stop at Attica and wanted any goods in the line kept by one Frank Yerkes down there, we should be very apt to go to his store. A man who advertises as liberally as he does, not only at home but in neighboring papers, is sure to be not only a straight-forward business man, but a man personally popular. We don't know Yerkes or anything about his business except as we see his advertisements in the Williamsport, Covington and home papers, upon which we base our assertions.

WE see by the Boone county Pioneer that W. Turpen, formerly editor of the Tipton Times, has bought the material and good will of the Murfreesboro (Tenn.) Monitor, and will in future preach Democracy "down in Tennessee." Murfreesboro is a good place for a Democratic paper, but a Republican can save both money and reputation by making himself scarce about there. We tried it on once, and therefore speak "w hat our eyes have seen." At best, deliver us from Tennessee politics and politicians Stokes and Senter are good specimens.

ACCORDING to statistics furnished the Department of Agriculture at Washington, it is estimated that Indiana has 130,000 more acres in wheat this year than in 1868. The increase of acreage over that of 1868, in six States, Iowa, Ohio, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri and Tennessee, is estimated at 865,000.

TnE Iowa Democratic State Convention met on the 14th. The following nominations were made: Governor, George Gillespie Lieutenant Governor, A. P. Richardson, editor of the North Iowa Times for Supreme Judgg, W. N. Brannon for Superintendent of Public Instruction, Edmund Yeauer.

IT is said that an effort is being made to place George William Curtis at the head of the New York Times. Mr. Curtis writes the strong, polished and courteous political articles which appear in Harper's Weekly. He would be a splendid acquisition to any journal in the country.

"Chron'.clc," the .Indianapolis correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette was among the party of excursionists who visited our city last week from the Capital. lie writes up Crawfordsville, some of its citizens, and a little of its politics. Notwithstanding the "explanation"' made to him by some of the Councilmen while he was here, he does not appear to be altogether well pleased with their ac tion "Crawibrdsviile is one of the hand somesl, towns in the Stute, being delightfully located, and so completely shaded with trees as to give it a* decided New England aspect. It contains no buildings of special size or striking aspect, but has an unusually large number of neat and homelike dwellings, exhibiting good taste and excellent repair It has long been the seat of Wabash College, an institution well known in the West, and which, while it is not strictly denominational, is decidedly Presbyterian in its inclinations. The old college building, which has been so long in service, is beginning to look quite dilapidated, but a new one will soon be completed, of ample

the institution The campus is the handsomest in the State, or the entire West, the lolty old forest trees making it look really grand and beautiful.

Henry S. Lane has long been a resident of this place, and I was pleased to see him a day or two since looking hale and hearty. His popularity as a stump orator is so well known throughout the West, that the announcement of his presence is always sufficient to bring out a crowd. He is equally interesting in general conversation. -'.in possessed of an infinite fun ". i. .• -.-ledge in connection with past history of the State and nation, politically and socially. His fund of words is infinite, and he never finds any difficulty in putting the right one in the right place. He is one of the few men of the day who can not only find words for his ideas, but ideas for his words. He spends no time in borrowing trouble, always has a word of encouragement at hand, and always finds something hopeful in the aspect of the State and nation. He can talk of the days of Harrison and of Henry Clay, but does not live entirely in the past. The present has its attractions to him as well, and he spends no time in bewailing the djgcneracy of the people. He is we 1 aware of the fact that he is not a handsome man, his features being small and inclined to be "pinched"' while the absence of his teeth gives more prominence to his chin and cheek bones than formerly. He does not follow the fashions in the cut of his beard, which is always worn moderately short, and extending in a ring from ear to ear, and running beneath his chin. This and his hair are becoming quite gray, but his figure is erect, and he bears but little weight on his cane. His personal beauty—or the want of it—is not what attracts people to him, but the clearness of his ideas and of their expression serve to interest the hearer most perfectly.

The country between this and Crawfordsville, a distance of 43 miles, is among the very best to be found in the State. There is no waste land on the route, and it is all in a good state of cultivation. When this new road shall commence its operations, this region, which has been so long isolated, will be found to produce much which the people of Indianapolis and of Cincinnati want and when it shall be extended to Covington and Danville, 111., it will bring into market some of the best coal and minerals to be found in the State.

Montgomery county is very close when it comes to politics, and for some years the Democrats have succeeded" in carrying it only by the "skin of their teeth." The town itself is Republican decidedly, but tbe Republicans seem to have a peculiar streak of gencrosit}' which leads them to "ignore" polities in distributing the "spoils"—a thing which is so seldom seen of late as to make it seem quite refreshing. Hence, in the city, the Republican Council recently elected a Democratic attorney, and the Democratic paper is quite as likely to get favors in the way of patronage as the Republican. This all looks very generous and high minded, but I have' not learned that in the administration of county affairs tbe Democrats who arc in

(,'rawfordsville has produced a crop of political Jin. in the shftpe of a Common Council, that has just elected a Democratic City Attorney, altiiough the Council is nomimiHy composed of five Republicans and only one Democrat.

WITHOUT BACKBONF.—The City Council of Crawfordsvllle, composed of five Republicans and one Democrat, through some unaccountable motive, rejected several worthy Republican applicants for the City A ttorneyship, and gave the position to a most violent Copperhead, No wonder the Republicans of Montgomery are always defeated.

who has through the columns of that paper, not only villified the politics of the men who voted f»r him,, but scoffed at their religion, and made sport of their morality "EATING DIRT.—The City Council, with five Republican members and one Democratic member present, ou Monday evening, elected a Democratic City Attorney. Of course the Republicans of this city will remember with sugar teats and a heavy vote the men who have thus so becomingly humbled themselves before the Democratic spirit—if the shame of the said Republican Councilmen will permit them again to think of office by the votes of true Republicans."

What gives the matter a more dirteating look, is the fact that there were four Republican applicants for the position The Review devotes a half-column to a defense of the action of the Council, in which it says: "We are no'

aware and presume

that none of our good citizens have ever 3Tet learned, that our municipal government was intended for a partisan machine."

Oh, no! of course not I Politics, unless it be Democratic, ought not to enter into such little transactionB as a City Council have to do with.

The race at Camp Morton, on Saturday, for the purse of 8100, was as interesting as a race could be. The three competitors were, Moses, Coffee and Sane. Moses entered a roan gelding, Coffee a sorrel, and Sane a roan. On the first heat the poll fell to Moses, with Coffee second. After several ineffectual attempts they came to the scratch, Moses leading off, a position he kept all the way through, making his mile in 2:56. On the second heat Moses had the poll again with the Sane second. Moses led off again from the scratch, making the heat in 3 :4. Eseau behaved badly, making quite a number of breaks. Moses was declared the winner.
