The California Mail Steamer "Star of the
Vest afrlged at New York on Monday
bringing dates up to Sept. Sth, aRd$l ,3OO'
900 in treasure
We clip the following in regard to the
election which took place on the End o.
Sept, by which it will be seen that the
Democrats are successful:
-Tag CALIFORNIA ELEcTIoN.--The re.
turns of the election for Governor and 9th
er states officers and members Of the leg
islature were incomplete on the sailing 81
the steamer f,om San Francisco, but suf-
fcient had been received to render it
uuite certain that Weller, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, has been elected,
with the entire Democratic ticket for state
o7ieers. Partial returns fr9m twenty coun-
ties foyt UP for GoYernQF as follows: Stan
ly Republican, 1884; Weller Demo
crat) 1890; Bowie, (American,) 6,4S0.
i ne vote in San Francisco was as follows:
Stauly, 1887; Weller, 4, ,430; Bowie, 800
The returns as far as received indicate
shat the proposition TO pay the state debt
has been carried, and that the movement
for calling a convention to revise the state
constitution had been lost.
The Alta California Sept. 9Th, says
Of the election.
The vote throughout thestate, judging
from the figures already received, as well
az fran the San Francisco returns, has
been very light. There is safety in say
ing that the entire democratic state ticket
has been successful, and the same party
will have an overwhelming majarity il
either branch of the Legislature"

Teachers Institute.

On Monday the 10Th day of Nov. next,
a Teachers Institute will be opened at
Coudersport and continue FIVE days. The
object of the Institute is, to give instruc-
ton in the most approved methods Of
teaching, and conducting the exercises Of
the School room. Six hours of the day
will be occupied in reviewing those
branches usually taught in our Common
Schools, and giving instruction upon the
method of teaching. There will also be
a Session each evening, for the purpose
of reading essays, and holding discussions
on subjects connected with the advance
ment of the Common School interest.
The time has been limited to FIVE days,
so that every Teacher in the County can
attend. One weeks board, and small
charge of three or four shillings for con-
tingent expenses; and it is hoped, and
expected that the TEACHERS throughout
the County will make it Convenient to at
tend. The undersigned will use every
effort to secure board ON reasonable terms.
Those who design to become members
of the Institute, are requested to bring a
full set of textbooks, of such as are used
in their school districts. The friends OF
education generally, are cordially invited
to attend The services of eminent, and
experienced Teachers will be secured to

Rank Failures.

There is more trouble In financial mat
ters than we have known since 1877
The Banks of Philadelphia, Pittsburg,
Reading and Lancaster have suspended
specie payments, and the Governor has
called an extra Session of the Legislature
to take the matter into consideration.
We think last winter was the time for
legislation; and that there is more dam
ger of doing harm than good by legisla-
ting under the pressure of a panic.
1t is very evident that the Banking
system of this State, is failure, and hat
We need something similar to the Free
Banking Law Of the State of New York:
Under that law nearly every Bank con-
tinues' to pay specie for all paper present
cd at its counter, while under our sys-
TEN, nearly every bank in the State has,
or soon will suspend. And there is q
good reason for this difference, Under
the free Banking system Of New York
every bill is secured by q deposite OF
State Stock or other equally good securi-
ty with the Auditor General, and the bill
holders, knowing that they are perfectly
safe though the bank should fail, there Is
no such run on the Banks for specie, as
there is in this State, where the Banks
have pathiHg but private property for Sc
ourity. Hence the failure of the Phila-
delphia Banks to weather a storm that has
not shaken the New York City Banks in
the least. We hope the Legislature OF
Pennsylvania, when it assemblies at Har'
risburg next winter will mature Bank,
ing system that will protect the people
from another Wholesale failure, and that
an amendment will be proposed to the
Constitution, prohibiting the Legislature
from legalizing the suspension of specie
payments by the Banks for single hour

gest to the friends of education, the pro-
priety of holding mass Convention in
Coudersport, for the purpose of discuss
ing the propriety of Petltloning the Leg,
islature for amendments to our School
Law among which are the following: To
reduce the number of Directors to three,
and they receive just compensation for
their services. Also, to require more
prompt collection of taxes, and prohibit

that Convention would be beneficial

RD-The Republicans of Maine have
again swept all before them. Buchanan
Democracy has been repudiated in the
down east State, as it will be in every
Free State as soQn as the people vote
their own convictions, instead of the
wishes Of party leaders. In Maine the
Republicans have elected euery Senator
and to the House l13 to 40 of all others.
1t is said every County officer in the State
is Republican. Why not? Why should
men who apologize for the extension OF
Slavery be supported by Freemen, and
why should men who keep company with,
and expect the support of the bitter enc
mics of Freedom; be supported by Re-
publicans2 We don't believe any real
friend of Freedom will be drawn into the
support of such man in this County or
any other.

The above named gentleman appears
in our paper this week as prominent
advertiser, in which he calls US to account
for remark we took occasion to make in
regard to "Independent Candidates" in
our paper of last week. We do not know
that We are under any particular ohliga-
ton to reply to Mr.. PERRY's arguments
in behalf Of his claims upon the voters Of
Potter County, and had desired to avoid
any controversy with him whatever; but
as he has taken the pains to give US a
"going over at this, the eleventh hour"
of the canvass, we owe it not only to our
self, but to our friends to reply to
this direct attack of Mr.. Perry, while
at the same time we wish to define our po-
sition in regard to the doctrine of indie
pendent candidates.
To commence with, then, we are free
to confess that we are not "paatea" very
well in regard to the past political histo-
ry of our county; but we will also freely
acknowledge that we wrote the article
WHICH has called forth Mr.. Perry's GEN.
sure, with a full knowledge of the fact
that the JOURNAL had always favored the
independent system, before it came into
our hands. 1t, therefore, becomes No.
cessary for US to explain why we departed
from the former usual course of the pa
per, in regard to this matter. We set
out, therefore, with the declaration that
We deemed such course impolitic in the
present condition of the party. We re-
garaed it as impolitie because we deemed
it no longer necessary for the purpose it
was then intended-namely, the over
throw of the Democratic party. We do
not say this because we have been told
that it was the object in view-we have
never been told so-we say it because we
belieUe it to haYe been the policy adopted
by the opponents of the Democratic par
ty to defeat it. And we will go still fur
ther, and say that We rejoice in the glo-
rious result of the policy. We have been
educated to respect the action of pap
ty Conventions-to regard that action as
final in its decision. We have always
D been told that if party would be strong it
E must be united-and that when a man
, repudiates the action of party eonVen-
ton, he repudiates the party represented
by it. 1t is for this reason that canVeA-
tions are held, namel y-to harmonize the
claims of candidates-and from its simi-
larity in principle to that Of our system
, of government, the Convention system
derives its popularity and weight. There
: fore, we are frm in our attachment to the
system, however much we may differ from
the former policy of the paper We control,
T or however widely we may depart from
the heretofore necessary policy of the par
ty of which we claim to be the organ in
/, this county-and we further desire it
particularly understood that we have not,
and 'etH not, advocate any policy other
than that we deem most prudent, and
which will best conserve the interests of
the Republican party-which we believe
to be the truest representative of the pco-
Iple. In view of the fact that the major

Diseased Kidneys if neglected are al
most certain to end fatally, sometimes
the patient dies of exhaustion and obsti-
