The towns yet 10 be heard from gave last year
chamberlain IL lS4 and Pilsbury s,2O4. Should the
same ratio OF relative increase be obtained in these
with those already reported, their vote would be-
Chamberlain 14,9l2. Pisbury lO,254. which would
give total vote Of 1929 of which Chamberlain
would have u, 100 and Pilsbury 54,Soo giving Cham
berlain majority Of 800. 1t is not believed, how
ever that the towns to be heard from will maintain
the ratio of increase exhibited in those that are re-
ported. Judge Rice and other leading democrats
here claim $4,000 votes for Pillsbury but concede
the same relative increase to Chamberlain. Mr..
Blaine, the Chairman Of the Republican State Com
mittee has only claimed 20, 900 majority asserting
that Chamberlain's vote would go far above 10000
as Pillsbury's would exceed $4,000 Mr.. Biaines
canvass of the State was most thorough, and his
figures have thus far proved very accurate and re-
liable.

Grant, and the Clergy.

The Chaplain of Grants regiment re-
lates the following incident: When at
home he generally attended the Methodist
Episcopal Church. While Colonel OF
the Twenty first Regiment, he gave every
encouragement and facility for securing
a prompt and uniform observance of re
ligious services, and was generally found
in the audience listening to preaching-
Shortly after / came into the regiment,

seats around the dinner table, when he
remarked:
"Chaplain, when I was at home, and
ministers were stopping at my house,

needed here as at home and if it is agree
able with your views, l should be glad tt
have you ask blessing every time we 81

Shooting ARRAY.

We learn with regret that Mr.. John
Hufford, residing in Coolbaugh township
in this county, was shot by VIM. War
ner, a resident of the same township,
about three weeks ago. The trouble, it
is said, grew out of a horse trade between
Hufford and another party, with which
Warner interfered, and the shooting was
most deliberately done with double
barrel shot gun, the contents of one OF
the barrels of which entered Uuford's
legs and arms, inficting severe but moi
fatal injury. Warner is still at large
though steps looking towards his arrest
have been taken.

ton be persisted in, whether the person
having the ma!ady be old or young. Is
is very cheap remedy, and perfectly
harmless. The quantity of sulphur to
begin with should be small-not enough

Andrew Johnson,

as was expected would be the case-on
Saturday returned the Arkansas bill to
Congress, with his usual stereotyped rea-
sons for not approving the measures pass
ed by our National Legislature for the re-
construction of the Southern States. The
President writes in very much the same
vein and style of his former messages,
and those who have waded through his
prating about the Constitution, the ne
groes, &c, &C., as chronieled in dozen
vetoes, need not trouble themselves to
read this mass Of stuff. 1t is really a
farce for Congress to send Mr. johnson
any more bills, since he doubtless COM
mences preparing vetoes SO soon as he
hears of their introduction in the lcgisla-
tive halls

Grant and COlfaX Clubs.

The Secret tary of the Michigan Repub-
lican State Central Committee reports
thirty three Grant and Colfax clubs al
ready organized in that State. What are
we doing in Pennsylvania in this direc-
tion? What in Monroe County? Here
We have not single club started, nor do
we hear of any move being made to
establish one Is it not time that some
thing be done? Or is it best think you,
Republicans, to put the matter off to the
last moment. We should remember that
Demo ocracy and Conservatism are bound
to win next fall, if possible. They can
not do it If we are true to ourselves = II
we organize early, and set about the work
Systematically. But if we rest on our
oars quietly, and look for others to work
while we are coolly, idly, aud pleasantly
enjoying ourselves, we will be very apt
to wake up on some fine bracing morning
in October, and possibly November, and
find ourselves badly whipped party. Ii
this happens the fault will be our own,
and we will have no one to blame for it but
ourselves. If, however, we begin Alright,
and work faithfully, We cannot only carry
the State of Pennsylvania by larger ma
jority than we ever did before, but we can
perform wonder here in Monroe County,
which will make even Democrats stare.
There are many in this county, always
staunch Democrats, who want to vote for
Grant and Colfax, and who will do it, in
spite OF the efforts of their file leaders, if
the way to step out of the ranks of the
old party is made plain to them.

Throughout the West there is great
Indignation among the Democracy at the
Democracy at the efforts making iu the
East to secure for Mr.. Chase the nomina-
ton for President at the New York Con-
vention. They denounces the movement
in the strongest and bitterest terms, and
exhibit more of desire to adhere to the
principles Of the party than readiness to
abandon them, for faint propect at the
"loayes and fishes" under the administra.
ton Of a man who has been their lifelong
antagonist. AS the Dubuque Herald
says, "The Democracy of the West are
not yet quite ready to take up with the

begins to assume an alarming aspect

The Jersey City Erening Journal few
days since contained better from Rev.
Peeke, Pastor of the First Reformed
Church in that city, in which, after pay
ing an eloquent tribute to the public life
and services OF Mr.. Colfax, he says:
But the most vital poiut to honest men
is the integrity Of Schuyler Colfax. When
appointed TO the charge of the mission
church of South Bend, | found Mr.. Col
fax its faithful Deacon. He not only gave
largely in charity to the poor, but wisely
miuistered that charity under his own
observation. On one occasion, one of his
last acts before leaving South Bend for
Washington, was to have a cooking stove
taken upon a wheelbarrow and given to a
poor widow. During the two years OF
my mission labor be was my faithful
friend, very liberal supporter of the
Gospel, regular commitment, consist
ant Christian, and when in town
always strict in his atten dance upon all
the worship and ordinances of G. cd s
house. With such heavenly companion
ship as God gave him in the person of
the late Mrs. Colfax, saint, who breath
ed the very atmosphere of the celestial
city," he could not well resist the attrac-
ton heavenward, and if ever soul can be
kept by the hallowed memories of loved
ones departed, Speaker Colfax must con
tinue to be what believe he is-an hon.
