The Contest

The Opposition County Convention, com
posed of Know Nothings and Black Rcpub-
licans, convened at the Court House yester-
day afternoon, and organized by appointing
John Williams Of Ebensburg, Chairman.
\ number of vice Presidents and Secretary's
were then appointed About so delegates
were present. The only contest was for Con-
gress. Both Kopelin and King, the aspirants
from little Cambria, were rejected, and the
conferees, Messrs John Williams, A C. Mu!-
lin and William II Gardner, instructed to
support S. S. Blair, of Blair county. We
understand both Messrs King and Kopelin
feel very sore over the result We think
they have reason to feel so.
The following county ticket then was placed
| in nomination:
Assembly, Richard j. Proudfoot, Chest tp
Sheriff, Jacob Campbell, Toder tp.
| Commissioner, Lewis Fisher, Richland to
Auditor, William Powell, White tp.
Poor House Director, John Thompson Jr
EJensLlrg.
We reserve further comments until nex

More Brutality Encouraged.

The prize fighters of Great Britain, denied
the qualification at home Of pounding each
other to a jelly. have been iufesting our shores
to carry on their wretched and denorGliziug
practices here. Public opinion, however,
has frowned on the Importation, and the law
is opposed to their degrading mission. Not
withstanding this, we perceive that they are
advertising that TWO of their number Will go
into training for a grand match of brutality
that will eclipse auy of the battles of tg ghtlng
dogs. The bets have been made, aud the pc
culiar class who support this system are alb
sorbed in the contemplation of the probabil-
ties affecting the issue. The New York
journals keep up the excitement with respect
| to this illegal encounter from day to day, aud
no one has yet been found in that great city,
sufficiently opposed to the brutal match TO
place the matter before the proper authorities,
to have these fellows restrained of the licen-
tiousness which threatens to lead to more than
one breach of the peace. After the Poole
murder, and the funeral pageant that marked
the consignment of that fighting mans remains
! to the earth, under the shadow of the City
Hall in the Park, perhaps 1t is too much t(
expect that any one can be found wise enough
to shield the Empire City from further dis
grace through imported fighting men.

Borough and one of the Wards in JohnstQwn,
have no foundation in truth whatever. Many
of the most devoted friends of Mr.. Linton,
during the late contest, were Catholics Mr..
Linton, is aware of this and we knolo he
does not endorse the bigoted slang and un-
founded charges of Mr.. " Delegate" against
a large portion of his ncighbors and friends.
Mr.. g Delegate" then proceeds TO say:
" Another reason why we believe that the
members Of the church were Influenced by
their religion in the selection of delegates to
the Convention, is this: from every Catholic
district in the county Myers delegates were
elected" This is another Of Mr.. Delegates
random shots in which he hits more than
hundred feet from the mark. Let us see how
the Record sustains him in this specifications.
The delegates from Loretto, Catholic dis
| trict, were opposed to the nomination OF Mr.
Myers. Washington township, Catholic
| district, was represented by Anti-Myers dele
gates. Munster township, Catholic district,
was also represented by Anti-Myers delegates.
| The delegates from Cambria township, were
Catholics. They both were hostile to the
nomination of Mr.. Myers, and voted against
him in the Convention. These are facts
which we can and will prove if required to DO
so. We confidently believe that not a sin
gle delegate in the Convention with the
exception of the Southern Delegate" even
for a single moment, considered what were
the religious views of either Porter, Kittell,
Linton, Myers, or any of the other candidates
before the Convention when voting for or
against them. 1t is false that we have either
a Catholic or a Protestant faction in the
Democratic party in this county. and the
man who attempts to create such an issue in
its ranks, is its worst enemy, and the soone-
he goes over 70 the opposition body and
breeches, the better.

Cincinnati Clearing House.

The plan for clearing house at Cincin-
natl for the banks of Ohio, Indiana, and
Kentucky is revived, and il is said, with a
prospect of being put into operation at an
early day. II will be conducted upon the
system of the Suffolk Bank in Boston, and
the Metropolitan in New York, which are
made the foci for redeeming the circulation
and settling the commercial balances of
their respective financial districts.
The banks included within the influence
of the Redemption-house lie within cir
cult of about two hundred miles, compre-
hending nearly all the banks of Ohio, In
diana, Kentucky and Western Virginia.,
The amount of actire circulation is about
$2O,000,00O. Of tkis, something like
100000 per day reach Cincinnati; and in
consequence of the large profits in running
home the notes. and the large number OF
brokers employed in it, it is safe to say that
this portion of circulation does not remain
out of bank more than an average of three
months. In other words, 100000 per
week, or 100000 in each three months,
are sent home for redemption.
