DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

Probably one Of the most important Con-
ventions ofthe Democratic party ever heldin
tho State Of Pennsylvania was convened in
Harrisburg yesterday. The Convention has
no nomination to make except that Of q
candidate for Judge Of the Supreme Court
Of the state. The special Importance in
this nomination arises from the tendency Of
the mass Of people during the past few years
to drift in the course Of oppression and un-
constitutional laws. A candidate Of the
highest integrity as an honest man and
patriot, and Of the best legal talent should
be selected. W. H. Jacoby has gone as
Senatorial delegate from this Senatorial
District and Hon. Paul Leidy as Represen.
tative Delegate from this Representative
District We 60 to press too early to give
any account Of the proceedings Of the Con-
vention. We will announce them next
week.

The Stevens Sherman Eili.

In South Carolina, General Sickles has
widened the range Of his duties in such a
manDer as to show the full effect and mean
ing Of the bill under which he holds power
and exercises authority. In April he issu-
ed an order overturning all the civil laws
and processes Of that State with reference
to the collection Of debts, and instituted in
their place series of orders dated from his
headquarters and signed by himself as mill
tay commander. This was long stride to-
wards full and entire destruction Of all
civil authority in the division over which
this officer holds the sword. But it was not
enough. General Sickles is determined tha.
the people shall feel the entire force Of the
Stevens-Sherman bill, as its provisions are
understood by the Radicals, and hence lie
interferes with matters which are properly
covered by municipal authority, and issues
orders with reference to the licensing Of
inns and restaurants, and decrees regulating
the manner Of conducting the business Of
railroads, street cays, stages, steambcats,
and other public conveyances From all
these orders there is no appeal. They must
be obeyed. Disobedicnce will be followed
by q military arrest, trial before military
tribunal, conviction and sure punishment,
In this manner General Sickles aids the civ
il officers in carrying OH. the civil laws in his
division. :
The manner in which the different com.
manders placed over the unrepresented
States have interpreted the Stevens-Sher-
man bill, and their acts done by virtue Of
authority conferred by that Radical measure,
show that the Democrats were right when
they denounced it as deliberate and deter.
mined attempt to destroy republican form,
Of government in the South and erect in
its stead military despotism.
Bloomsburg democrat. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1867-1869, 1867-06-12

s~ General Sherman has issued Gen
eral Order stating that the Union Pacific
Railroad will be SO well guarded in future
that no Indian will dare to interfere with it.
All passengers and freight must be forward
ed to the end of the track, and from there
will be guarded by efficient csc orts specially
provided by him for that purpose
A sufficient force Of cavalry is already on
post. General Sherman is sanguiue that he
will clear the Platt Valley Of Indians within
two weeks. A fight has occurred between
nine passengers and twenty Indians within
Eve miles Of Moor's Fort. One passenger
was killed instantly, and General Davies
son was mortally wounded.
Two Indians were killed and five severely
wounded. Five Of the passengers returned
to Omaha on the evening Of the 9th. Gov.
ernor Steel, Of Colorado, had a narrow es.
cape, but subsequently reached Denver in
eafety.

@- The trial Of John Surratt, il seems,
is to come Of at last. His counsel have
been insisting on going on with the case, for
several weeks, but the Government was
never ready. The radical papers are doing
all they can to prejudice the minds Of the
people against this young man and while we
cordially agree that all murder should be
punished, yet where life is at stake, COM
mon decsncy if nothing more should stay
the tongue a. well As the pen until fair
trial be- had. The Philadelphia Inquirer of

FESTIVAL.

A meeting was held at the house Of Mr..
E. P. Lutz, in Bloomsbury, on the evening
Of Friday last, for the purpose Of making
arrangements for hol ling grand Festival,
the proceeds to be devoted to the forward
ing Of the interests Of our magnificent
Literary Institute. ~
Miss II. Sharpless was appointed presi.
dent, Mrs. s. A. Petrikin secretary, and
Miss A. D. Webb treasurer. Committees
were appointed to canvass Bloomsburg and
vicinity to solicit contributions; and that
the forthcoming festival should be one Of
the finest ever seen in Bloomsburg was the
determination expressed by all present.
The Festival will be held on the evenings Of
the Goth and 2lst Of this month, at the
Institute Hall. We have good reason to be
proud Of the INSTITUTE, and every dollar
which may be added for the purpose Of gen.
eral establishment, the procuring of scien-
tific apparatus, maps, library, &c., also adds
to the honor Of our people. Herculean
efforts have been made, but our energies are
by no means exhausted. Let this Festival
be one Of the grsndest over seen in
Bloomsburg.

SMALL Pox. There have been a few
cases of small pox in this place, and a num-
ber Of cases Of varioloid. The first was Mr..
Poor, who, we believe, contracted the dis
ease in Scranton. He came homo to his
residence in Danvile, where he died. Since
his death, it has spread to some extent, but
we have heard Of no other deaths. There
was quite panic few days ago, and in
obedience to public sentiment, the Town
Council assembled and promulgated an Or
dinance, which will DO found in the adver-
tising columns Of this paper The excite
ment is, however, apparently dying away.
Nearly everybody in town has been vaccin-
ated, and we have no apprehension of any
great extension of the disease, nor do we
think there is the least danger to our country
friends, who visit the town, We are aware
Of many cock.and-bull stories that are in
circulation, and which may be credited by
some, but our readers can rely with entire
confidence on the statement we have made.
There has been only enc death up to this
time, and we have not heard Of any other
CAGES that are likely to prove fatal --Non-

n@- Doctor John in his last paper says,
that one of the leaders in the Fishing
Creek Confederacy" is writing history Of
the affair; and he straightway gces to work
to call the attention Of the historian to
somebody else in order to shield himself
from the punishment be deserves for the
business Of hounding on soldiers to Cypress
and distress people who were thousand
times truer to the constitution and laws
than he and all who ever acted with him.
This is the old trick of the pilferer when
he cries "stop thief!' while he is carrying
off the stolen goods. But we are glad that
there is to be history" in this case. Per-
haps we will find out who made Of them
selves spies, in the dark days Of oppression,
and spied nothing but what was conjured up
by their own cowardly minds and diseased
imaginat;ons. We may find ou: who
really did send kilograms to Harrisburg )
and make suggestions to the officers in COM
mand. Dr.. John intimates that Mr.. Clark
did this. "When rogues fall out honest
men get their dues" We really hope some
light may be thrown on the general subject
by this ''his.ory." The oppressed and

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CONVENTION
will be seen by the proceedings of the Couu-
ty Convention, that that body stands ad.
journed until Saturday, June 22d inst.
The cause Of this adjournment arose from
the fact, that the Councils of the borough
had previously passed an ordinance prohib.
iting all public gatherings until further no.
tice, in consequence Of the prevalence Of a
contagious disease, which they are fearful
may become more general by the meeting
ef large bodice of persons together The
knowledge of the passage of this ordinance
led many to suppose that no Convention
would be held, consequently some of the
township were unrepresented. What dele
gates were in attendance, met and organized
