how thaG our civil government is faIFiY in auguratsd, much interest is felt touching the pei icy it will pursue. Enough has been heard from tho lips of Governor Goodwin, and his associates, to lead us to believe that they will act for the public good. regardless of all private prejudices or considerations. They will constantly bear in mind the fact that We have here a Heterogeneous popqlati0n, made up from every quarter Of the continent.

THE CAPITAL QUESTION.

There is a wide difference of opinion as to where the Capital of the Territory shall be fixed
 All that the Governor has to do in the matter is to appoint place for the meeting of the first Legislature. It will be for that body to locate the capital What place the Governor will des- ignate for the assembling of the Legislature we do not know. We learn that there is much feeling at Tucson, because he did not proceed there at once, and that at La Paz there is a lively regret that his train was not unloaded there. It is not unnatural that both Tucson and La Paz, should want the first, If not the permanent advantages of tue government. Ii

ETcHINGs.-About 100000 were re-
allied to the benefit of our sick and woun-
ded soldiers by the late Pittsburg Sanitary
Fair. This amount would doubtless have
been increased to half million had it
not been for the persistent opposition of
the Johnstown Democrat to the enterprise
and its charitable aims and objects !. The
new station house at Cresson, p. RR., is
rapidly approaching completion. When
finished, it will be one of the neatest and

WILL WE HAVE One ?-Will we, or
will we not-we of Ebensburg-have a
4th of July celebration? OF right We
should have one, and if we were so in
clined we could have one. But-aoW ace
hare one? That, just now, is the question.
Judging from present indications, which
present indications consist Of an apparent
entire forgetfulness of the fact that our
great National holiday is rapidly approach
ing, and an almost total ABSORPTION of mind
in the military situation and money-ma-
king, we feel inclined to answer the inter-
rogatory in the negative But when we
Ieok back and think that it will be only
one year again the recurrence of that stir
ring anniversary since Gen, Grant, who,
par parentlese, to the loyal North is Ulys-
ses always, but to the rebels is Ulickus
always .-ore year since U. s. severed the
mushroom Confe6eracy in twain by the
capture of Vicksburg, and not forgetting
Meade and Gettysburg, joint ce!ebrators
of the last 4th and therealong in glorious
and most effective style, we write it down
an impossibility, at least an improbability,
for our citizens to prove themselves so ut
tetIy unpatri9tic and unappreciative of big
things, in other words to prove themselves
so un-American as to not celebrate ''the
occasion" by clash of horn and roll of
drum, by a peal of bells, by a salvo of ar
tillery, by barbecue in some grove and
the inevitable succeeding speeches-by
any or al of these very proper demon
STATIONS, or by any other proper demon
stration which may or might suggest
itself. Looking at the subject in the one
light, it appears as if we were not going
to have celebration: looking at it in the
other light, it appears wonderfully strange
that We are not going to have celebra-
ton. Will we, or won't we, commemorate
the day. However this question be de-
eided, as sooner or later it must be deci-
ded, We possess the sweet qualification of
knowing that we have done our duty to-
ward both our country and our fellow
tOwnsmen in thus impressing upon the
minds of the latter the fact that the 68th
anniversary of American Independence is
near at hand-that, indeed, next Monday
is the 4th of Julyl

CREssoN.-The celebrated summer re-
sort, the "Mountain House," at Cresson,
this county, has been opened for the re-
ception of visitors, some fifty of whom
have already takeE up their abode there.
If the sweitering-hot weather of the past
week continues for another week or two,
1t were safe to infer this number will be
speedily augmented until every available
nook and Granny about the premises is
fully tenanted. Although the "House"
Itself Is most spacious one, and notwith-
Standing the fact that perhaps a dozen
outlying cottage houses" are comprised
In the accommodati5ns afforded visitors,
1t has been found absolutely impossible to
take in" even moiety of those applying
Tor admission. To remedy this, and afford
loom for all who may come, a very large
addltlon is to be built to the hotel during
the present summer
We do not wonder at the widespread
popularity of the s'Mountain House p
Situated as it is on the summit Of the
Allegheny Mountains, twenty-three hun
dred feet above the level of the sea, the
surrounding scenery is most grand and
romantic, while the never-idle breezes are
cooler and more invigorating and the wa
ter is purer than can be found elsewhere
throughout the length and breadth of the
laLd. Besides all this, NJ. G.. w. Null
lin is the major-domo of the concern
Which is adding the cap-sheat to the list
excellences characterizing the concern.
