FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 1879.

Guctig has received a second trial and sentenced to be hung. Tom Ewing asserts with positiveness that he and Rice, with three legs between them, can readily outrun Foster and Hickenlooper with four. The Cincinnati Commercial, republican, declares that the Republican platform of Ohio is a ‘bore.” And the ticket is not a whit better than the platform. “Hickenloope” is the name of the radical candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Ohio. He ha# oeen tender, cd a dose of Rice that will make him a sickenlooper on the day of election. _____ There ought to b. “another war” just to sec Tipsy Chandler stand in the streets of Washington again and see tile army “pass through” and “return again.” It would give Blaine another opportunity td Send a substitute, which would be another “touching incident.” We notice some of the Radical pa pars and Congressmen of Indiana now seek to deny that Massachusetts soldiers voted and interfered at the pulls in this State in 1864. At the tune it was a matter of general noto riety, not disputed, and conceded on ah sides as the process by which .he Radical victory of that year was secured.

The Monticello Herald of last week announces the discovery of the dead uody of John Darstler, formerly a resident, of Monticello, near the D lphi road, six miles southeast of that place, on Saturday morning, Bth Inst. Cause supposed to be heart disease. Also Mrs. James McKinney died very suddenly, Tuesday of last week, while in apparent good health. A correspondent of the Chicago Post suggests “Blue Jeans” for the 1 residential nomination, by the Democracy in 1880. While we confess "Blue Jeans” would be a vast ini piovement upon Fraud Hayes and his immediate predecessor, as regards fitness and honesty, yet the Governor < once les, and the Democratic part yof Indiana desire that Mr. Hendricks snail be the nominee. The “rebel yell” made by Senator Morgan on the occasion of unveiling the monument of the Confederate dead at Winchester was couched in the following language: “No sectional s rife now disturbs our country.— We all believe that our form of Government is the best known of men, and is founded upon truth and justice; a Government under one constitution and one ling.”

Wade Hampton made a fair point on Mr. Blaine when he said in reply to the complaint that there were too many Confederate brigadiers in the present Congress, that he regretted t.heiewere not mote Union soldiers in the two Houses, because he had realized that the men who had fought each other in 'Gattie had very little difficulty in understhuding each other when the war was over. The course of some few Democratic papers toward Hon. Frank. Landers is certainty very reprehensible. The same polit y wtis pursued, a few years ago, toward John K. Shoemaker for Auditor of State, and the nomination secured by John B. Stoll, who was badly defeated at the election. Just so soon us such papers become con vinced that they do not comprise the entire Democratic party, harmony in tire process of making nominations will be t.he result, and no matter who the candidate may be, victory for principles will follow. A recent Washington despatch says: “Mr. Ingalls, one of t .e strongest Republicans in the Senate, charged thnt Secretary Sherman did not let the true condition of the treasury be shown. Ho 'said the Secretary kept, ■lO per cent, of the legal tender circulation locked, up in the treasury. Forty per cent, would be $138,697,052, which, added to the $10,000,000 reserve just spoken of, amounted to $148,697,052, which ought to be in circulation now. There was considerable surprise in the Senate to hear such an orthodox Republican as Mr. Ingalls so vehement in denouncing the Secretary of the treasury.” ■ . -4 > ►- ♦ General Steadman s recital of facts before the Ohio Democratic convention sticks in tire throats of the Republican stalwarts. The hero of Chickamauga says: I make another s atement here to day, and there is a living witness in the State of Ohio who was present when Mr. Lincoln made the utterance. The iirst time I ever saw him (Lincoln) was after the battle oi Chickamauga, when 1 was ordered by telegraph to report, in person to him. I went up and called upon him, and Mr. James M. Ashley who is living, heard the conversation Mr. Lincoln took me by the hand, greeting me warmly. He told me he was glad to see me- Still hoi Jug me by the hand, he said to Mr. Ashley; “Brother Ashley,'what would have become of us in this war if it had not been for the fighting DetHocrats of the Northwest?” Mr. Ashley, with a shrug of the shoulders, said,“ Wall. Mr. Lincoln, Idon’t know;” when Mr. Lincoln re plied: “Our rebellious friends would have had their flag floating at the eapitol, sir.” Hesavs: “The truth is, Brother Ashley, that our party is made up, to some extent, of rhe religious and sympathetic elem nt. and they don’t make first-class soldiers." In the fiifie of such testimony the Republican conspirators, with the au-

dacity of a Louisiana liar, refer to Democrats as “traitors.” But those who indulge in such stfifr, the Blaines, Chandlers, ci al, are well understood, and for several years the people have been demanding that the party they represent shall take a back seat. — The receipts of the Cantata amounted to S4B 25, of which S3B 00 has been applied as payment on organ—-the remainder being devoted to expenses and decorating the graves in churchyard in honor of Gen. Vanßensselaer, who very kindly gave them two dollars for a rehearsal, and the promise of ten dollars whenever they deem proper to make use of it. Determined to earn their organ, the Sabbath School has, in Mr. Vanßehsselaer’s name, offered the ten dollars to the Church for repairs and painting, if the members so desire. The little ones, not wishing to be excelled by the larger members of the Sabbath School, have expressed a desk e to give a literary and musical entertainment next month, and thereby try to raise balance due on organ. The committee take great pleasure in thanking the young ladies who so kindly gave time and attention to their rehearsals: To the Ladies Orchestra and the Band who so willingly tendered their services: To MrsLudd Hopkins and Mrs. S. P. Thompson, for their patient and untiring help: To each, who so readily lent an assisting hand in securing the success ot tne Cantata. The young ladies also tender their thanks to the public for their kind patronage and compliment of a second night’s entertainment.

It is expected that at the evening session the President elect will r ad his inaugural address, and Dr. Spencer will read an essay on the “Relation of Medical Ethics to to the Public.”

J. A. HATCH, Sec’y.

The following, which we copy from the Lewistown, Pa., Democratic Sentinel, will be read with interest by quite a number now residents of these parts, who, in other days, were acquainted with those named: Childrens’ day in the M. E. Church was duly observed in this place on ►Sunday last. J. A. McKee, Esq., read a history of the school written by Miss Kate Evans, some extracts from which have found their way into print, and we copy them below. Rev. Mr. ►Sears, the pastor, delivered an address happily adapted to an occasion ol marked interest to the people of this denomination especially. Floral decorations tastefully combined adomed the pulpit.

EXTRACTS FROM MISS EVANS’ HISTORY.

Before Lewistown charge was made a station, about the year 1823, under the pastorate of Rev. Thomas McGee, the first M. E. Sunday School of Lewistown was organized in theold Methodist church on Third street, which was built in 1815. Two sessions were held each Sunday, with an early morning prayer meet ing. The iirst superintendent, as near as can be discovered, was Mr. Russell Brooks—s 6 years ago. We regret the golden anniversary or semi-centenary of this school should have passed without a special celebration. From that time on there h-ts been a steady growth and interest in the school. In 1829 the number of scholars in the school was 100, the superintendent being Mr. Joseph Matthews. The assistant was always one of the ladies of the school, and they did their work well. The number of books in the library was 130. In 1830 tne increase in scholars was 60. In 1831 they numbered 212. four of whom, Mr. Willis McCord, Mr. James Smithers Mrs. Stoneroad and Margaret Blake are in the school to-day. In this year the school’was removed from the old church to the new, and at that time a very pleasant Sunday School room in the basement of this church, built during the year. * * In 1832 they numbered 256—in the three years 156 being added to the school. On Sunday, January 20,1833, a lit tie boy wended his way to the Sunday School As he stood outside the door, no doubt attracted there by some of the exercises of the school, a lady teacher saw him, went out and invited ami brought him in. That boy was Bishop -Wiley, and the teacher Mrs. Stoner. Teacher, Christian, go thou into highways and hedges and not only invite but bring them in.— The blossom cannot tell wheie its odor goes,, and no-one can tell what becomes of his or her influence and example. The wise man placcth the stock or his gun to his shoulder before he fireth, but the fool looketh down the barrel to see the ball start, Bishop I. W. Wiley ailed from New xoric week before last for Europe.

BLAINE OF MAINE.

The Way He Fought the Battlee o. the Union[Few York Son.] We have received two letters, from widely separated parts of the Union, asking for information’ on matters that may profitably be treated at the same time. One of out correspondents lives in this State, at Malone, the home of William Almon Wheeler.— He writes; “Wade Hampton announces that there are 22 ex-Confederate soldiers in the Senate of the United States, to only four who fought in the army of the Union. Is that true'? and, if true, what do you think of its significance?” It signifies, we suppose, that civilians are relatively more successful in Northern politics than In Southern.— Beyond that unimportant statistical fact it signifies nothing. The ex-Con-federate officers are not now in arms agafnst the Government. Most of the Republican leaders who are endeavoring to persuade the country that that is the case, kept well away from the front during the period of actual hostilities. An excellent illustration on this point is as orded by the war record of James G. Blaine, about which our second correspondent writes from Nevada to inquire: To the Editoa of the Sun: Sin—ln tne Congressional Record of the 19th the following bit is printed: Mr. Williams—l should like to ask the senator did his substitute fight? Mr. Blaine—No. I found out afterward that he was a Democrat. [Laughter.] I was inveigled into hiring him without knowing who he was. Mr. Eaton—Did he sell himself for half price? Mr. Blaine—l do not know. I paid full price for him, more than an ave rage Democrat was worth in the war [Great laughter.] Is there any means of ascertaining who Mr. Blaine’s substitute was, and what kind of a soldier he made? It may be that he was a brave one, and that the man for whom he did the fighting has been willing to blacken the memory of a departed hero (though humble and fighting under the disadvantage of being Mr. Blaine’s substitute) for the sake of a repartee. It might knock a large hole in the sarcasm of the ferocious wariior of the Senate if that substitute’s record could be hunted up Arthur McEwen. Virginia, Nev., May 27.

Early in the war, Mr. Blaine’s name was placed upon the military rolls of Maine, and he, like other able-bodied citizens of that State, became liable to conscription A great many of his fellow-townsmen in Augusta did not wait for the draft, but volunteered, and went to the front to fight for the Union. Mr. Blaine was deeplyjconcerned during the dark days of 1862 for the fate of our armies and the fortunes of the natfon. We know this to be the case, for he himself has publicly admitted, in a speech in Congress, that “after the lapse'of thirteen years he could never recall that period without a chill of horror.” He was also concerned in a contract for furn ishing Spencer rifles to the Government, and he did not volunteer to do military duty. lhe necessity for troops being urgent, and Mr. Blaine not coming forward, President Lincoln proclaimed a draft. The draft proceeded to Augusta without interruption. One of the first names taken from the box was that of the present senator jfroru Maine. But even then Mr. Biainedid not join the army. He procured the substitute whose military record our Nevada correspondent is anxious to learn, and continued to defend the Government by means of able speeches at Augusta and in Washington. In replying to the questions of Sen ators Eaton and Williams, Mr. Blaine implies that his substitute did not fight, because he was a Democrat. It is well to be exact in historical matters even of trifling import, It was not because he was a Democrat that Mr. Blaine’s substitute failed to render any assistance in suppressing the rebellion. He did not go to the front at all. Political influence of apotent sort was exerted at Augusta in behalf of the man who represented Mr. Blaine in the army of the Union, and he was put to peaceful and easy serv.ce in the provost marshal’s office in that town. Soon after, Mr. Blaine’s substitute was detected in forging soldiers’ certificates of discharge and draft exemption papers, and selling them for $159 apiece to other patriots who preferred to remain at home. Upon this discovery, Mr. Blaine’s substitute was ocked up in the countv jail, through the iron bars of which he watched the varying fortunes of the war, and saw his principal grow rich and famous. Mr. Blaine’s memory is at fault in another particular, He informs'Mr. Eaton that he paid full price for his Democratic substitute. That statement is hardly accuiate. The substitute was paid for out of the funds of the Augusta Loyal Mutual Alliance, an organization of patriots who,formed a pool to insure such of its members as might be drafted against the expense of procuring substitutes. Mr. Blaine was a member of this interesting association, and had subscribed to its fund. Several years later the city of Augusta undertook to reimburse the subscribers to this fund, and did so in 5 per cent. 20 year bonds, to meet the interest on which, we suppose, the people of that town are still taxed There also appears on the record of the city’s contingent expenses for 1866 the following entry: J. G.Blaine, for substitute, S2OO 00 We have quite as fittle charity for the Republican politician s in Congress who go on fighting the battles that ended 14 years ago as we“haye patience with those ex-Confederate brigadier generals and colonels and majors who delight to exercise their rhetoric in parading the errors of their past. One class is doing as much as the other to keep war passions alive. * * * *

4th of July Excursions——The “Pan Handle” to the Front AgainThe Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railway, familiarly known as the “Pan Handle Route,” will place excursion ticirets on sale July 3d and 4th, 1879, to and from all stations on their lines. Tickets will be good to return until Monday, July 7th. which will enable those desiring to do so, to remain over Sunday with their friends. This is a very liberal concession on the part of the Railroad Company, and will be appreciated by patrons of the road. The rates will be low, and ample accommodations will be provided for all who desire to avail themselves of this opportunity to visit friends in adjoining and distant cities and towns At Bethany, Westmoreland countv, Pa., week before last, Miss Annie Tan married Amos Feathers.

Wicked but True. New Ydrk World. In view of the now ascertaisejd fact that tne great majority of the $lO certificates were taken up by wealthy speculators, and that their agents got the certificates while poor women anxious to invest their avings were left to be knocked about by police men in the line outside the doors, we really do not think that Mr. Sherman’s man Foster will oe wise if he says much about thatsubject in his epeech in Ohio. That is unless the people of Ohio are really as ignorant as in his speech of acceptance Mr. Fo. ter assumes them to be. “Times are hard, Mr. Editor, and I must curtail expenses so you will nlease discontinue my paper,” said a careful and economical farmer recently, and reiieved of the awful burden of paying for a newspaper for his family, he went out and invited four of his friends in to take something, two of whom took whisky the same as himself and the other two took cigars: Expense 50 cents, or three months subscription.—Exchange. That the republican rank and file may not be misled, their attention is directed to the fact that when republican leaders fire metaphorical hot shot at “confederate brigsdiers,” they refer only to those who vote the Demcratic ticket. Longstreet, Key, Mosby and the rest of the “confederate brigadiers” who are lepublieans, are of course “loyal” and patriotic. . --<♦»- General Ewing, Ohio’s Democratic nominee for Governor, sent a note to his wife from Washington, announcing his nomination for Governor by the Ohio Democratic Convention, to which he received this reply: ‘Your news is stale. I have already had scores of callers to congratulate me. Now come home yourself and let your wife congratulate you.”

Dr. Waren, of Boston, states “a simple, easy and effectual cure for stammering” is, simply at every syllable pronounced to tap at the same time with the finger. By so doing the most inveterate stammerer will be surprised to find that he can pronounce quite fluently, and by long and constant practice he will pronounce perfectly well. - Guerrilla Mosby, American consul at Hong Kong, is booming up for secretary of war, in place of McCrary, of lowa. Since Guerrilla Mosby has joined the stalwarts he has become a greater man than a one-armed soldier, Even Jeff.

Though suffering from a Chancellorsville wound, his right side being partly paralyzed, the old fighter is in better health than usual. Rev. David McKinney, a very prominent minister of the Presbyterian church, for many years pastor at Hollidaysburg, Pa., and the founder of the Presbyterian Banner, died at his home, near Pittsburgh, Pa„ May 27, aged 84 years.
