PRESIDENT JUDGE.

The Judicia conference which met at this
place, on Monday evening last, placed in
nomination for President Judge, Hon. FAR
RIs B. STREETER, of Susquehanna County.
This nomination, which has been unanimous
ly rendered to Judge SrREETER by the peo-
pie of the two Counties, is deserved tri-
butte to the ability, impartiality, and urban
ity with which he has presided over the
Courts of the District since his appointment.
The voters of the District have already had
ample evidence of his fitness for the eleva-
ted and dignifed position which he now so
ably fills. The judicial ermine was never
worn more gracefully and uprightly than
by Judge STREETER. Since his elevation to
the bench, he has made hosts of friends.
and we but speak the unanimous testimony
Of those who have had occasion to observe
his administration of his official duties,
when we say that he has given universal
satisfaction.
The nomination of Judge SrREErER, with
out semblance of opposition, ensures his
election, and secures to the people of the
district on efficient and upright Judge.

OFFICIAL REPORTS OF THE PROGRESS OF
THE CHOLERA.

Advices have been received at the State
Department of the progress of the cholera.
Under date of August 10TH 1868, the Uni
ted States Consul at Port Mahon. informs
the Department that there is now at the
quarantine Turkish steamer which left
Alexandria, Egypt, with eighteen hundred
pilgrims, and arrived at Port Mahon with
but twelve hundred and eighty. Five hun
dred are reported as having died en- route
from the effects of Asatic cholera. The
captain of the vessel, on arriving at Port
Mahon, reported to the authorities that
there were no contagious or other diseases
on board but, upon examination OF the
steamer by the quarantine officers, dead
bodies in an advanced state of decomposl-
ton were found. The captain pleaded ig-
norance of it, and averred that he was not
aware that any such cases existed. This
statement, however, Is not credited, and
| the five hundred not accounted for may
have persisted from the cholera. Very lit
| tie faith is placed i'll his statements, and
the discrepancy of the report, with the facts
as developed, leave it in great doubt. The
| Consul reports that all mails and dispatches
| from quarantine are now delivered. Re
ports received at Port Mahon concur in the
opinion that the cholera is gradually pro-
crossing westwardly. The Consul reports
| that thus far the cholera has followed the
pilgrims, who are packed like sardines on
shipboard Their religion does not ALLOW
them, while passing to and from Mecca, to
sleep i'll beds, to wash, or to eat any warm
food They are covered with filth and yer-
min, and are spreading disease all over the
Mediterranean
The United States Consul at Palermo,
under date of August l4th, informs the De-
partment that, owing to a serious spread
of the cholera at Ancona, where already
some eight hundred people have died, and
isolated cases having also happened in
other towns Of Italy, France, and Spain,
the local authorities have imposed seven
days of quarantine on all arrivals from
Italian, French, and Spanish ports, includ-
ing Gibraltar.
Port Mahon is a fortified town of Spain,
capital of Minorca one Of the Balearic Is
lands on its south side. 1t is the residence
of the Military Governor and of the Bishop
of Minorca Its port is one of the best and
most commodious in the Mediterranean
A letter to the Chronicle, dated Constan-
tinople, August 18th, states that the chol-
era is increasing in its ravages. -Four hun
dred persons are buried every day, and the
population is fleeing to the mountains.
There is wholesale depopulation of the
laboring classes. The scenes, as described
by the correspondent as taking place in
Constantinople, are terrible beyond concep-
ton Much of the morality is in conSe-
quence of poor and insufficient food.

SENATOR.

The Senatorial Conference met at Lacey
vile, on Monday last, and on the fourth
ballot, nominated GEORGE LANDON, as
the candidate for Senator
To the people of this County it would lie
a work of supererogation on our part to
say word as to the fitness of Mr.. LANDoN
for the position for which he has been named.
In fact, his reputation is not confined to
the County, nor the District, but is as wide
as the Commonwealth Itself For years an
ardent anti-slavery man, Mr.. LANDoN has
on all occasions fought the good. fight, de-
nouncing the "sum of all vllainies without
stint and sustaining and upholding correct
principles with zeal and ability. No man
in the County has done more to form al,u
strengthen correct public sentiment than
GEORGE LANDoN For years he has labored
with unseltish and earnest purpose to illus
trate the honors and evils of that great
ba rbarism, which finally deluged the coun-
try with blood And when Rebellion rear
ed its horrid front, and treason struck at
the heart of the Nation, no man more
promptly grappled with armed traitors and
their Northern sympathizers than he, nor
labored more assiduously to preserve the
National honor and save the country from
wreck.
The soldiers have abundant reason to re-
member the work which he has done dur
ing the past four years. His Jealous de-
sire in all that might encourage them III
their trials and sut1erings, his words of sup
port and cheer, his stirring, indignant and
| eloquent denunciation Of the home trai
! tors have penetrated to their camps, and
nerved their arms to strike blow at the
rebels in front He has been emphatically
! the "soldier's friend" and has been called
| far and near, to assist i'll consigning to the
grave the loved remains of those who have
fallen in the strife, or to pay "a tribute tC
the memory of those whose remains are
covered with Southern soil
Mr.. LANNON'S nomination will mquestiOn
ably call forth virulent and bitter opposi
ton. The Copperheads and their tools
here, hate him with bitter hatred. They
hate him for his bold and radical views -
they hate him for his outspoken denncia
tions of treason they hate him because ht
is a man of ability and eloquence. But the
true men of the District will rally to hi
support, and carry him triumphant.

THE NATIONAL FINAycEs.-The Secretary
of the Treasury presents a favorable report
of the condition Of the National finances on
the 3lst of August. During the preceding
month the principal Of the National debt
was increased only 1926, 900, while the in
tercst on the debt has been decreased near
ly 1921 900 Nearly $45, 10000 in coin
and nearly $43, 900, 900 in currency, arc now
in the Treasury, and the suspended requisi-
tions amount only to over g, ,000,0 600. The
receipts from internal revenue for the last
two months, have averaged nearly 81 ,000,-
600 per day-a sum that should be amply
sufficient to defray all the expenses of the
Government-w which would leave u.s. on the
present basis of taxation, sum equal to
our entire receipts from customs, to be ap-
piled to the liquidation of the public debt
Thus it becomes more and more clearly cv-
ident that the American people are abund-
antly able and willing to maintain the bur-
den of the interest of the National debt, and
even to pay it off at no distant period. As
it is probable an amendment will be made
to the Constitution, authorizing export du-
ties and as important reforms will soon be
inaugurated in our internal-revenue system,
we may naturally soon expect large acces-
siOns to our sevenue, without CORES
ponding increase in the burdens of tax
payers.
Bradford reporter. [volume] (Towanda, Pa.) 1844-1884, 1865-09-14

REDUCTION OF THE STATE DEBT-The Gov
ernor Of the Commonwealth, has issued
his proclamation, setting forth that the
commissioners of the Sinking Fund have
reported reduction of the State debt, for
the year ending the 4th of September, 1865,
of secen hundred and foHyfre thousand ejght
hundred and eLeUen dollars and tlcent4j-sir
SentS. This is a vast increase over the re-
duction of the State debt the previous year,
when the amount reached S26S, $50 So
there being an increase in the sum redeem
cd this year of S467, 7,24l 76. 1t must be
remembered that the expenses of the prcvi-
GUS year were far heavier than of the
year just past, growing out Of the war
But with out resorting to comparison, the
amount of debt redeemed during both years
reflects great credit on the economy and fl
nancial ability with which the affairs of the
Commonwealth are conducted.

asA. Victsr E. Piolett-the man who did
MT get to Congress-was one of the speak
ers at "Buckalew's Camp Meeting" He
told the people it was all wrong to subscribe
for the United States 7-30 Bonds. Ofcourse
it was wrong to aid the Government! He
would have them all repudiated "Give us
power said he, "and we can borrow money
at three per cent" How then did it hap
pen that when his party acas in power they
paid t'oetUe per cent. And then instead of
paying it to our own people it was paid to
foreign capitalists. No, no, "Vic," the peo-
pie have not forgotten how you ran the
machine when you were in power. They
have no disposition to repeat the expert
