B@5- Wheaton's Ointment is an old and
well tried remedy, which keeps constant
ly increasing in popularity as its merits
become known. 1t has been before the
public for more than sixty years, and is
universally acknowledged to be the most
certain and speedy cure ever discovered
for Salt Rheum, Ulcers, Chilblains, Tet
ter, Pimples, Blotches, and all eruptions
of the skin, while it is sure cure for the
Itch, and will eradicate the most obstinate
cases in forty eight hours.

The Democracy, after several months
devoted to close search can find nothing
against Judge Williams, save the fact of
his having been born in Connecticut. =
They now speak of him only as Judge
Williams, of Connecticut. This is even
further than q" Sam" went. He only war
red upon foreigners, and considered that
so long as man was born under the old
flag, all else being right, it mattered but
little in what part of the Union he first
made his grand entree on mother earth.
Now to meet the requirements of the new
creed of Pennsylvania Democracy, man,
no matter how good otherwise, 90 ell an
office, must be born on the soil of Penn
sylyania. We wonder how many of the
leaders of that party, on show of the
record, would be worthy of Pennsylvania
Democratic votes. Take the fact of this
opposition to Judge Williams, in connec-
tion with that other fact Of the nomina-
tion of Judge Woodward, the father of
" nix wisserism," by the Democracy of
Luzerne County, for Congress, and who
can tell under its present lead, whittier
the Democratic party is drifting. To say
the least they show but small thanks for
the bone Connecticut threw them last
spring.

eG. We would invite the attention Of
our readers to the article headed =" Judge
Williams at home," on the first page of
this weeks paper. The Democracy have
been Dragging SO Justify over their candi
date, that one was almost led to believe
that there was nobody quite so good as
Judge SharS1sd, nobody SO capable,
and nobody quite SO worthy place on
the Supreme Bench. 1t turns out, how
ever, that Judge Williams, of Connect
cut" as the Monroe Democrat names
him, though he has been Pennsylvania
true to the core for over thirty years, is
far ahead of Judge Sharsweod in what
ever point you may choose for the posi-
ton. The article besides embodyinc
sundry facts Of special cogency at this
time, has this additional excellence: -
all its statements are toned down to the
strict line Of truth; some of them even
below that line For instance, the asser-
ton is made that Judge Williams judi
cial opinions have been overruled less
frequently than those Of Judge Shars-
wood. An examination of the Reports
will show that no Judge in the Common
wealth has been overruled SO unfrequently
as he.

THE Democrat indulged in a glorious
howl of horror, last week, over the Resolve
of the Republicans Of Carbon in favor of
Universal Manhood Suffrage, including
all our fellow citizens White or Black
We do not see so much out of the way in
this mere resolve Of county meeting-not
near so much as we saw, and any one else
could have seen, in the good old Democratic
times Of thirty years ago, about election day.
Then Francis X. Skunk, honest "Old Frank
as he used to be familiarly called, was alive
in the flesh, and always had charge of the
''Judy town" precinct, the negro quarter of
Harrisburg, and invariably brought the "dar-
key up to the polls to vote = on one occa-
sion coming up with a negro on each arm,
and fourteen of the duskey american citi-
zens of African decent following, two by
two, behind him. And they voted. In Eas-
ton, too, the practice was equally common ;
and the late John ]. Burk, man of undoubt-
ed Democracy, never seemed so near the
height Of his glory, as when marshalling the
Primes, the Lippenses and the Rays to the
rescue at the old Court House on election
day. But those were the good old Demo-
crat days, when negro voting was ''moral
idea" of the party. There was no mere re-
solving then-there was doing; and the
Democratic howls of to-day are not near so
heartrending over the prospect of the revi-
val of the right of negroes to vote, as were
they over its abolition, when the decision of
the Supreme Court, that none but white men
could constitutionally vote, knocked the De-
mocracy out of at least 10000 majority in
the State. The Democracy has greatly de-
generated both in members and in character
since then.

THz meeting at the Court House, on
Tuesday evening, was one of which the
Republicans may well feel proud. In
view of the fact that it was held during a
quiet time, when there was neither Court
week nor any other goings on" to lend
their aid IN swelling its numbers, it was
a rouser. In enthusiasm, too, it was fully
up to high mark in establishing the
fact that the Republicans of Monroe are
alive to the importance of the coming
election, and that they will be on hand on
that day to throw their vote for Williams.

In attendance upon the meeting were

were the nomination of

he is paying for commodities of all kinds and

EXCITING RAcE.-The antelopes very often
attempt to race with the railroad cars. The
Omaha Herald tells "of a most exciting and
interesting chase that occurred seven miles
west of Plum Creek" Three or four rousing
antelopes took it into their heads to see and
outrun the locomotive, beside tho track, the
train going at the rate of IS miles an hour.
They did quite well for while and commenced
to drop off one by one till only one was left to
contest the race against steam. Over three
hundred rifle shots were fired at them from
the cars during the race, but without doing
the pedestrians any injury. Thepersistent an
telope which continued the race, ran with the
locomotive over four miles, when a ball from a
Henry rifle striking him on the head toppled
him two or three times over and he lay pant
ing and bloody on the prairie. The ladies
waved their snowy handkerchiefs at the con-
quest, the locomotive pulled up, and the vic
tors went and brought Mr.. Antelope into the
train.

had recrossed Snake river day or two before

about seventy-hve or eighty Indians. They
were evidently on a hunt and seemed to have
been driven out by a snow storm. Afootprint
was measured which was seventeen and hall
