THE POLITICAL SITUATIoN.-Dedr
AHe9hanidn Candidates for nomiuatIon
at the hands of the Dem. Co. Convention
are becoming plenty as tadFoles in body
of staguant water under an August sun.
At least a score of men go to bed each
night and waken up next morning candi-
datcs-and famous. In addition TO the
names l gave you last week of persons who
might possibly be prevailed upon to rac-
cept official position, the following might
be mentioned: For Associate Judge,
Major John Flanagan, of Johnstown for
Commissioner, Fred. Kittell, of Ebens-
burg, John Furguson, of Blacklick, Dick
Detling, of Washington, Joseph Behe and
Frank Bearer, of Carroll For the re-
naming offices, host of names are brot.
forward, all of which "want of time and
room" prevents me mentioning just now
In the matter of the Associate Judseship,
Johnstown is most wofully behind, for
that she has as yet presented only tro
aspirants for the Office, whereas E5ens-
burg has presented four. To make mat
ters and things even In this respect as
between the two towns, l would suggest
the names of Messrs. II. D. Woodruff &
Son, of Johnstown, in connection with
the Office. Edward Glass is the retiring
Com missioner. 1 do not know whether
he desires reelection or not if he does,
the Dems. might go further aftor can
didate and fare worse
The various aspirants are busy making
metaphorical hay while the sun shines
They all travel with their pockets cram
med with bon-bons for the children, I
notice, and dispense cigars to the men,
folk and smiles to the women-folk with
lavish munifcence. With regard to the
matter of bon.bons, Harry Deyine has the
mercantile advantage over his competitors
''first COST" while the same can be said of
Reese Lloyd with regard to cigars. But
the persuasive power of a smile for cleo
tioneering purposes is most potent, and
not unfrequently outweighs all cousidera-
tions connected with bon-bons and cigars.
I consider Michael Hasson the most sue
cessful smiler of them all. 5is

DARING BURaLARY-Ou Monday
night last, the jewelry store Of G. T.
Roberts, on High street, was feloniously
entered by some party unknown, and de-
spoiled of portion of its contents. IN
gress was secured by removing a panel
from the rear door, which was done by
the aid OF auger and chisel. The depre-
dator helped himself literally to articles
in the store, taking some six or seven
fine revolyers and lot of prepared car
tr;dges, a number of gold pens, with
and without holders, an accordeon, &C.,
&c. The loss, SO far as is ascertaiued, is
in the neighborhood of 5000. The bur-
glar left behiud him brace and bit and
chisel The brace was identified and
claimed by Mr.. David Jones, of the East
Ward, and was stolen frum his carpenter
shop, the chisel was not identified. Mr..
Roberts, the proprietor, was away from
home on the night of the robbery, and no
one Slept on the premises, SO the burglar
had an open field for his nefarious opera
tions. On the same night, clothesline
in the East Ward was robbed of numb bef
of linen shirts. We advise our towns
people to be on the lookout for the light

The German War.

To one considering attentiyely the dispatches
received by the Persia, the facts that first at
tract attention are, that &c have one DAVIS
later news from Berlin than from Vienna. and
that the Prussian capital was a scene of great
rejoicing The fighting commenced in b.
hemia on Wednesday, 9th ult The Prussian
army under the Crown Prince appears to have
been marching westward from Sjlesia, to meet
the Prussians moving eastward from the Sax
on frontier under Prince Frederick Charles
The Austrians thereupon moved northwarl
from Pardubitz, to prevent the junction. The
right wing of the Austrians fell in with the
Crown Prince of Prussia near Nachod; the
left met Frederick Charles near Munchengratz.
These two points are at least fifty miles apart.
Both parties claim the victory on the first two
days, but it seems clear that while the Aus
TRANS were severely punished, the strategic
object of Benedek was attained, and juno
ton of the Prussian armies prevented. The
fighting was renewed on Friday, and the Prus-
sian dispatch claims decided advantage, but
says nothing of junction of forces. No de-
cisive result had been reached. In Hanover
the Hanoverian contingent of the Confedera-
tion forces surrendered at discretion, and was
disbanded on Friday, and the rejoicing at
Berlin was probably occasioned by this fact
rather than by the uncertain news from Bo-
hernia. The army Of the Confederation was
marching from Frankfort, and battle was
expected in or south of Hanover.

losses of Insurance Money.
To THE EDITOR OF THE Press:
The promptness with which the Insurance
Companies generally, have made good the
losses OF our citizens, is worthy of the highest
praise, and will go far towards tightening the
terrible blow.
There was large class of our worthy citi-
zens, generally in moderate circumstances,
who were not so fortunate; allude to the 10
sured in the Portland Mutual Fire Company.
The loss there, as l am informed, is about
100000. TLeJ have not more than sixty to
seventy thousand to respond with. This was
good for all their purposes in ordinary times.
For forty years before they did not make a
loss which was not promptly responded to-
Not an assessment of dollar was ever laid
upon member. But now there is only a
margin for small per centage. The loss is
almost entirely in dwelling houses. 1t has
been suggested with some force, that portion
OF the money coming in so literally from all
quarters, could not be better applied than to
pay certain part of the great deficiency oil
this Company, and thus relieve in measure
this great loss to their policy holders who have
suffered. If they had neglected to insure, it
would have been different. The neglect would
have been sadly punished. But taking all
precaution, as they thought, and which would
have been sufficient had not the sweep been
SO overwhelming, there seems to be no neglect
chargeable to these sufferers. This suggestion
has come from various disinterested quarters
and comes with force. hope it will be well
considered. Great relief would be admins
tered in this way; and in no way that know
oil, would this good be more widely diffused
with the same amount of money.
