ESPCBIICAN DISTRICT COS YEJHIOS A Mass Convention of Republicans will beheld at Princeton, on Tliursdaj, Jane 16, '10, At one o'clocfe p.m., for the purpose of making Congressional and Judicial nominations, and transacting such, other business as may properly come before the Convention. Each county will be entitled to cast its vote In the Convention In proportion to its Republican strength. - The Republicans in the various counties of the First Congressional District are requested to send a full representation. Papers friendly to the cause are requested to copy. By order of the Ex Com. 1st Cong. Eist. The amendment of the Homestead Act provides that every true soldier and marine who served ninety day9 in the late war may enter a quarter seetion of the railway alternato reserved sections without paying any fee or commission to the registers or receivers of the land office; and bis title may be perfected according to the provisions of the Homestead Act. The London Times seems to think General McCiellan a suitable man for the Presidency of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway. If the stockholders want a man for that position who would bo plastic clay in the hands of Gould-Fisk, George, the Unready, would be an excellent choice. However good his intentions, his feeble intellect, strong only in the power of memorizing, could not cope with the cunning plotter Gould, and the bold executive genius Fisk. They would make a foot ball of him. Strcck by Lightning. We learn that the residence of Mr. Doblebower, editor of the Dispatch, was struck by lightning, this morning, about eight o clock, 'lhe lightning took effect near the eaves, and tore a large hole in the roof and passing downward, disarranged things considerably in the parlor. Mrs.Doblebower, who was in one of the lower rooms, and her daughter-in-law, who was in one of the upper rooms, were severly shocked, but, we are glad to learn, were not seriously injured. Lafayette Courier, We doubt cot that Mr. Doblebower would prefer that his communications by lightning, be Qonfined to the telegraph wires. . Land Monopoly. We copy, this morning, from an exchange, some interesting facts with regard to the celebrated Northern Paoifio Railway land monopoly, which has been so fortunate as to secure the services of Mr. Daniel W. Voorhees and the State Sentinel, to be followed in due paseason by the other Democratic pers of the State. Mr. Voorhees the distinguished honor of being. has the only member of the House of Representatives from the State of Indiana who voted fcr this monstrosity. It is also due to truth to assert that not a solitary Democratic paper in the State has had the courage to condemn his vote, notwithstanding their hypocritical professions of hostility to all monopolies. Forty millions of acres of the best wheat land in the world according to the correspondent of the Boston Journal is the amount asked of Congress by this ring of New England speculators, for the Northern Pacific Railroad is absolutely under their control. Mr. Voorhees has declaimed against the New England greed, until he fairly made the hair of his constituents stand erect with rage. Yet here we have him, sustaining by his vote the most gigantic swindle ever hatched in the brains of New England capitalists. We ask our readers to look at this matter critically and then ask themselves what confidence can be placed in a party which has not the moral courage to repudiate an act of a prominent leader of that party which is so inconsistent with all its professions. A GENTLEMAN, lately from Wisconsin. spose to us last ni2Qi wun TPffrenca to the Citv exDenses of In dianapolis, as compared with those of other cities ot the United states, xie was astonished to know that the tax levy was but ninety cents, and said that the "Reformers," who were dissatisfied with the municipal government should emigvate to Milwaukee and enjoy the luxury of paying four or five dollars. We prescribe a dose of Milwaukee, or of Toledo, for each really Bevere case of "Reform." We think the remedy will prove much worse than the disease. Indianapolis Journal. Indianapolis has been under a Republican administration for twelve years. Daring that time the Democracy have never, in a single instance, been able to neutralize, by a year of bad management, the uniform prudence with which the affairs of the city have been conducted. The result is, in proportion to size, Indianapolis owes less money, and pays a smaller per eent. of taxes than any other city within our knowledge. We challenge the Democracy to produoe an example of any city similar in size and growth, of which that party has had control for tho same length of time, which can make as good a showing. We regard Indianapolis as a practical example of the wisdom which directs the Republican management of municipal affairs, and the State as a similar example of honest and economical administration. Until the Democracy can show si-nilar good management, it will be wise for thara to be sibnt and learn. Some years ago an election was held in Louisville, which resulted in a terrible riot and lhe death of a large number of citizens. The Know Nothing element had largely predominated in that city, and on that occasion culminated in an outbreak of lawlessness and ferocity which gave the significant name of "Bloody Monday " to the day on which the "action took place. X we arc able to form correct con

elusions from reading the report of the proceedings of tho Democratic Convention held in that city on Saturday last, the Know "Nothing ele

ment is still predominant, and is not divorced from the rowdyism which blossomed into the Bloody Monday. The Convention was disgraceful in the extreme. Noise, confusion and brawling, were the distinguishing fea tures of the whole performance. Gamblers and roughs of every hue and description were the chief men of the occasion, and they dictated the nominees. The manner in which the names of foreigners were received for any of the offices, showed that the old cry, put none out Americans on guard,' had been drafted into the service of the Democracy, and would be practically enforced as a sound Democratic principle. Candidates of German or Irish birth, or those who were known to be particularly well liked by their German or Irish fellow citizens, were mercilessly slaughtered. The , snubbinj of Union men kept pace with the bad treatment of the foreigners. It was apparent that the two classes were placed in the same category, and that neither were regarded as having rights which Louis ville Democrats felt bound to respect. The result is, the ticket put in nomination is one of the most unpopular ever presented lor tne sunragea oi the people. Bat it is also evident that its friends rely upon the same instrumentality for success at the polls, which secured success in the convention. If, however, the oppo nents of mob law manifest any pluck and energy, the Ring of Roughs may be effectually broken. - Politics In New York. The ignominious and overwhelming defeat experienced by the Republican party of New York at the last State election, was not altogether unex pected by those who have been dia passionate observers of the conduct of the Republican leaders in that State for the past four or five years The defeat may do good in calling the attention of the earnest and true men of the organization to its causes, and inducing them to throw aside the barnacles in New York City, which have cursed tho party with divided counsels and weak engagements, to say nothiDg of their mercenary in trigues with the Tammany Hal leaders. TheJNew xoric standard, in com menting on the result, gives expres sion to some facts that we deem wor thy of transfer to our columns, to show Republicans of thq West what is the matter with the organization in the Empire State. The Standard says The absence of a man like Thurlow Weed from the Republican councils of New York, is a misfortune, es uecially when we see the Democrats under the masterly and brillian leadership of men like Peter P. Sweeney, Samuel J. Tilden, A.Oakey Hall and William M. Tweed. For whatever faults Mr. Weed may have oommitted, and however unsuited, from character, temperament and conviction, to lead a party of ideas through the political campaigns of a mighty war, he was unsurpassed as a dealer, if not a leader in men. The true politician is pre-eminently a dealer in men. He must know how . 1 1 1 a 1.1 much to concede; how much to de mand; when to advance, when to stand still, and to guide his vessel over the shoals and banks of treacherous political seas. We have no reason to complain of Mr. Irish, for it may be argued that he has "no taste or capacity for political intrigue;" he has been a moderate, prudent, careful Secretary, and has strengthened the Administration with the prestige of a good name. As much may be said for Mr. Grinnell! We do not join the World in singling out these men for criticism or dissatisfaction. True criticism must go deeper. A strong party might well be proud of men in office as pure and high-minded as Mr. Fish and Mr. Grinnell. The Republican party is not strong, and we need men who can give it power. There is no head to the party ! Up on the overthrow of Mr. Weed, and the detection ot Jlr. Jiaymond, Mr. Greeley passed into power. No man ever held so high a place in any party. His long years of service, the conviotion of his honesty, sincerity, and political sagacity his aDiiity as a writer and speaker, his thorough knowledge of men and events in our State history, gave him unchallenged dominion. The misfcrtnne with Mr. Greeley is that he will never fight when he can dicker, and he can never forget his personal prejudices He insisted upon a dicker with the South to defeat Seward upon a dicker with extreme Radicalism to defeat Lincoln ; and men are not above suspecting that he would have dickered with the Democrats to elect Mr. Chase over Gen. Grant. He would certainly have ended the war by a dicker. He tried to dicker Universal Amnesty for Universal Suffrage, when everybody saw that Suffrage was our?, that Amnesty would come in good time, without a concession. A man who never forgets and rarely forgives, he has more to forget and forgive than any man in New York. He has never thoroughly recovered from the defeat of Henry Clay in 1844, for instance, and would probably make a canvass upon that issue now, more earnestly than upon any other. We saw the enormous advantage Republicanism had in Albany, and the assured triumph of that party through the mutiny of the Anti-Tammany Democracy under the powerful lead cf The World. We saw how that revolt was healed, and Tammany restored to power, by the direct influence cf Mr. Greeley. He excused himself by saying he had made a dicker. Tammany had imperial power, but Mr. Greeley had an "honest election law." Under his "honest election lawt" fraud has been reduced into a science, and Tammany Hall is as triumphant as Rome over Carthage. Nothing is left of Republicanism, but walls and ruins. As a commercial substance something to be sold at a profit and the source of an enormous business the Republicanism of Mr. Greeley deserves the largest circulation. But to him, more than any man, we owe the unnecessary and unparalled disaster of Tuesday. So Republicanism is really a party without a leader and without any disciplin! Weekly Tribunes are good1 enough as a kind of an army cracker, and as such we are glad to see them largely bought and sold. Rut that is all ! We have a President as acceptable as any since Washington a man

strong in the affections of the people

a government polity that insures prosperity at homo, peace with ail tne world, isut the President nas no pol itical following. He sees J ew York di vided against itself. One is for h enton the other is for Conkling but who is tor Urantr Intrigue surrounds intrigue, and petty ambitions leap and vault and hold mad revelry; but where is the party of the Adminis tration? Where is the man to measure swor is with Mr. Sweeney and challenge the supremacy of Tammany Hall? The President himself has seen the folly of entrusting armies to Generals too old to remember anything since the Mexican war, too foolish to think of anything but a gaudy dress-parade, too selfish to fight for anything but promotion, men who saw no enemy but someposl sihla rival. What he saw m war he be may now see in peaceful, political New York. IFrom the Chicago Post. lhe Northern Pacific Hallway. In 1864 Congress granted to the Northern Pacifio Railway Company, and equal to forty miles in width alone the whole road. Lstimating the length ot tne road at l.tuu miles. the whole grant was equal to 41.5G0,000 acres.. In addition to this, was the roadway. 100 feet wide, and the free use ot the stone, timber, coal, or any other material found on the public lands. The same company, after holding this grant hve years, endeav ored to obtain an additional subsidy ot twenty thousand dollars per mile in bonds, or in a government guarantee or their own bond3 ramus: in this they have applied for an additional land grant, which has passed tho Senate, and which pre vides that the Company may locate and construct a branch road from " some convenient point on its main trunk line to Puget's Sound, and for this the Company is granted the same amount of land per mile that it receives for the main line. There is no limit to the length of this branch, nor any point designated from which it shall start. It is an indefinite jrr.nt, which may count up anywhere from 10.000,000 to 40,000,000 acres of land, in addition to the first grant. Id the debate, during the struggle to pass this bill without amendment or discussion, Mr. Farnsworth thus described it: "I wish to say that, as a member of this House, I voted for the passage of the original bill, granting lands to aid In tbe construction o! tbe Northern Pacific Railroad. I am in lavor of such a road, and I do not wish to retract the vote which X tben gave. Four years ago, when this company came here, and proposed to give the Government a Hen upon one-half of tbe lands which we had granted the d, provided tbe government would endorse their bonds to enable them to build tbe road, I opposed tbat proposition, legardlng it as impudent in the extreme. "They come here now and ask for an additional, an Indefinite grant of lands. It Is as indefinite as the lateral road this Joint resolution authorizes; tbey can make the road longer or shorter, as they please. They may build a parallel road I be whole distance. They ak that we 6 ball give them authority to mortgage this immense grant of lands, large enough for an emfire; to make absolute mortgage to money enders of this land, and allow it to be sold out before the road is built. When they ask this they ask too much for my stomach. Why, sir, four years ago when they came here with anotner proposition, their own estimate of the value of tbe gran t was WJ0OO per mile." - The bill permits the company to mortgage the whole of the lands before it constructs a mile of the road. It further provides that, at the end of nve years alter the completion of the road, any of the lands not sold, and not remaining under mortgage, may be taken by settlers at ?2 50 per acre. But if the mortgage be foreclosed at any time, the lands shall be sold to the highest bidder. The permission to mortgage the land, and the authority to sell the same at any time, under the mortgage, is a total exclusion of the right of actual settlers to occupy any of the land, except at such price any luo iauu v pn aB the company may exact therefor, met rnh n -a nnKn4n A There is perhaps, nobody in the United States (except, possibly, those pecuniarily interested in the Union and Central Pacifio Railways), who is opposed to the Northern Pacifio Rail way, or who desires to see any proper legislation witheld from them. We are certainly very much in favor of the proposed road. The interests of Chicago would be vastly promoted by its construction, liut the company rave made it apparent tbat they will not build the road until they have first exhausted every means to get more property out of the government. If the alternative were presented to them of building it with the present grants or forfeiting their right to build it at all, they would disappear from Washingtonin less than twenty - tour hours, and it would require a search-warrant to nnd their lobby in any part of the United States. A Sad Accident. On last Satur day the wife and children of Jerry Se!by went to visit tne family ot Patrick McNabb, living some sever miles east ot this place, lhe children of the two families, while playing some distance ftom the house, began making quite a noise and chasing each other, whereupon a dog belonging to Mr. McNabb thinking the children were in a fight, began to bite the children of Mrs. Selby. The cries of the children . attracted their mother's attention wno ran to their rescue. whereupon the dog attacked Mrs. Selby biting and tearing her severely, Mrs. McNabb, in the meantime, doing all in her power to get the dog off. A young man by the name of Edwards, working for Mr. McNabb, ran to a neighbor's house to get a gun to shoot the dog after he had rescued the woman and children, and while returning with the gun, to ascertain fully that it was loaded, put his foot on the hammer and blew into the barrel when his foot slipped o.T the hammer causing a discharge of the gun the ball passing out through the top of his head killing him instantly. Dr. Byers was called to attend the sufferers. He reports the woman and two children torn by the dog as in a critical condition. This is - indeed a sad affair and should serve as a warning to people to be more careful both as to guns and dogs. Pelersburgh Press. An Example to Shun. Mommser, the German historian of Rome, depicts the character of the Romans at the beginning of their national decline, in terms which are startlingly applicable to the condition of our own society, at least in our great cities. He 6ays: "Money, and nothi"3 but money, became the watchword with high and low. Men did not, if possible, steal outright, but all shifts seemed allowable in order to attain rapidly to riches plundering and begging, cheating on the part of contractors, and swindling on tbe part of speculators, usurious trading in money and in grain, even the turning" of purely moral relations, such as friendship and marriage, to economic account. Marriage especially became, on both sides, a matter of mercantile speculation; marriages for money were common, and it ap peared necessary to refuse legal valid ity to the presents which the spouses made to each other.

Consumption. The Three Remedies. "Schksch's Pulvonio Sybup," for the cure of Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, and every form of Consumption. The peculiar action of this medicine ripens the ulcers in the lungs, pro motes the discharge of the corrupt matter by expectoration. Purifies the blood, and thus cures Consumption, when every other remedy fails. "Bchenck's Sea-Weed Tonic" for the cure of Dyspepsia or Indigestion, and all diseases arising from debility. This tonic invigorates the digestive organs, supplies the place of the gastric Juice when that is deficient, and then enables the patient to digest the most nutricious food. It Is a sovereign remedy for all cases of indiges tion. Schenck's Mandrake Pills." one of the most valuable medicines ever discovered. being a vegetable substitute for calomel, and having all the useful properties as cribed to that mineral, without producing any of its injurious effects. To these three medicines Dr. J. H Bchenck. of Philadelphia, owes his un rivaled success in the Treatment of Pul monic Consumption. The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter, discharges it, and purifies the blood. The Mi.ndrake Pills act upon the liver, remove all ob structions therefrom, give the organ a healthy tone, and cure Liver Complaint, Which is one of tbe most prominent causes of Consumption. The Sea-Weed Tonic Invigorates the powers of the stomach, and by strengthen ing the digestion and bringing it to a nor mat and healthy condition, improves the quality of the blood, by which means the formation of ulcers or tubercles in the lungs becomes impossible. The combined action of neee medicines, as thus explained, w I cure every case of Consumption If the r medlea are used la time and the use of the is persevered in sufficient ly to btlng the case to a favorable termina tlon.
