Republican organization, have concluded to

Site the battle field. For this purpose,
thousands of dollars are being pat in circula-
ton, as corruption fand, to pay men either
to circulate falsehood or cease In the uttcrauce

because the Republicans of the Empire State
have proved their ability to defeat the factions
opposed to them, either in fusion, or when
scattered into fragments, as they are, by the
baseness, Inconsistency and difference in the
principles which they advocate. In Penn

VINO SHOULD BE GOVERNOR I

In few weeks-in less than a month-tbe

elect Governor. We are now in the stormiest
days os that election campaign, and the ques-
ton, Who should be G0uernOr2 assumes more
stirring Importance as the second Tuesday in
October approaches: Ii assumes an Importance,
paramount in every particular, 10 which the
welfare of the Commonwealth is not only con-
ccrned, but in which is involved the peace, the
progress and the prosperity of the Union
Pennsylvania, as a sovereign State, exercises a
vast influence on the business and social welfare
of her sister Common we aiths. Sho does this
by the development of her resources. her az
tivity in trade, her mechanical genius, the power
and wealth of her citizens developing them
selves in every branch of business and all the
avenues of trade. To preserve these interests,
and give an impetus TO the trade aud labor that
produce the magnificent abundance By which
we are blessed, Pennsylvania depends largely
OIL the healthy operation of her government, as
we'll a. the honesty of those who are called on
to make, I'D the purity of those who are en-
powered TO administer, her laws. Ii we elece

are at once gone A Republican majority for

A MAN Who Could KEEP A HoTEh.-
Old Rowe keeps hotel in the Northern
part of Louisiana, which he boasted was the
best in "them parts;" where, as he used
to say, you could get anything that was ever
made to eat. One day in came a Yankee,
sent his horse around to the stable, and
and stepping up to the bar, asked old Rowe
what he could give him for his dinner.
"Anything, sir" said old Rowe, "any,
thing from picked elephant to canary
birds tongue"
"Wa'aT," says the Yankee, eyeing old
Rowe, ~ guess I'll take piece of pickled
elephant"
Out hustled Rowe into the dining-room
leaving our Yankee friend nonplussed at his
gravity. Presently he comes back again.
Well, sir, we've got 'em got 'em al,
ready right here in the house, but you'll
have to take a whole one, because we never
cut 'em
The Yankee thought he would have som'

G. G. SHAoKLEToRD, Eso.-At a recent
meeting of the Stockholders of the New
Orleans, Jackson and Great Northern Rail-
road, our fellow citizen, @. @. Shackleford,
ESQ, was elected Director of said Com
pany, to I'LL the vacancy occasioned by the
death of G. S. Tarpley, ESQ., 1t is we'll
known that Mr.. Sbackleford has always
been an earnest and jealous advocate of the
various railroad improvements in our State ;
it was through his exertions, as much as
those of any one man that our own road to
jackson was built, and subsequently he was
an active co-laborer in advancing the inter-
ests of the New Orleans and G. N. r. r.,
and held the position of Director of that
Company. He was defeated-to together with
the entire Robb ticket-four years ago, in
consequence Of difference as to the policy
to be pursued. Time, we believe, has vim
dicated the course suggested by Mr.. Shack
leford, and has again been called to the
important position of Director. No better
selection could have been made, and we are
sure that while Mr.. s. is member of the
Board, the best interests of the road will be
promoted, as far as his voice and vote can
conduce to that end.-Canton Citizen.

THE JAPANESE AT THEIR Ts.-The
New York Express says that with the same
Implements they use in their way of playing
chess, the japanese play game somewhat
similar to euchre, and their talents in this
line are not expended altogether, 'for fun"
The "tiger" with the Orientals is not the
ferocious monster that SO many of the Amer
leans are rash enough to encounter, but a
good gentle fight is made with him, for all.
The excited countenances of the players as
they throw down their "chips" bcspeak the
same fatal fascination that is exercised in
our own "banks."
From the same source we obtain this an
ecdote:
One of the fairest and merriest Of the
youths, one whose fame, if not SO extended
as that of the inimitable "Tommy," is rath,
er more honorable, accompanied by his uncle
aged sixty one, aud a few American gentle
men, was invited this morning to a parlor
on an upper floor of tho hotel, to do little
singing, A number of ladies and bcvy Of
bright children were present. Accompanied
on the piano by a celebrated master of that
instrument, the amiablc tenor gave forth,
in low and gentle tones, very pretty song
of his native land, which has beyond a doubt
many time echoed through the tea gardens
that are around about the great cities Of
Japan. He "kept time" with fair degree
of accuracy, but could not be persuaded tc
raise his voice to loud tone. At the END
of this melody, the company was favored
with Japanese version of the favorite ditty
"Kimo Kimo," and an excruciating bur
lesque of the Italian style of vocalism, whict
was called "Amcrican music" Further
musical experience was promised to tht
company, and the kind hosts were bid fare
we'll, the young artist skipping down stairs
still rattling off the lively strains of th'
negro melody. ~ WIN

DESCRIPTION OF THE CHAMPIONS BELT
1t consists of waistband of black patent
leather, and of sufficient length to fit the
waist, when it is necessary to put it on, on
great fistic festivals. Upon this band is
fastened eight silver plates, each being about
four inches square. Running along the
edge of these plates, and standing out in
clear relief, are finely wrought miniature
models Of the ropes and stakes, which serve
as kind of border or fringe; they are
beautifully cut by the tool of the silver
smith Assuming the belt to be standing
on its edge, spread out upon table, and
the spectator looking at it, the first place on
the left hand will be the British Lion, peace
fully and harmlessiy stretched upon "all
fours," or, as the heralds would say, Chouch
ant Ganant; the second represents the
men at what, IN the peculiar phrascology Of
the ring, is called "athe Scratch" that is,
standing with their fists up in fighting atti-
tude, opposite to each other. The third has
the word Championship" in large letters
standing out in high relief. The fourth is
the armorial shield of Great Britain-unicorn
crown and all. The fifth is plain and polish
ed, for upon it are to be ultimately en-
graved the fate and fortunes of the bel
itself, when its final possessor wins it. The
sixth is boxer standing Gin position" a,
if an opponent was before him, and thC
seventh and last plate represents the "Unior
hands" four hands joined, cross keys in tn,
center of a star. The whole of the designs
are cut out of the solid silver, and nothing
can be finer than the workmanship Th
value of the belt is one hundred guineas
