GREENBAcKs FOR BoNDs.-The Ohio De-
mocracy at their late Convention struck out
again for "Greenbacks for Bonds" Pendle-
ton has been round surely, and no doubt
demonstrated to the Convention that the ter
rible defeat the Democracy sustained last
Fall was owing to their rejection ofhim and
his "Greenback" theory. One thing is well
know that the Young Eagle had his long
feathers pluckedl IN that New York Conven-
tion and went home terribly crest,lallen.
Ills State Convention in its first meeting af-
ter his defeat, kindly came to his relief and
propose to let him down as cannily as posi-
bic. How thoughtful.

The Tioga AGITAToR wants the public to
take particular notice that Republicans nev-
or oppose any measure to prevent frauds up
on the ballot. Every Registry law in the
country, calculated to render illegal voting a
matter of difficulty, is the work of Republi-
cans. Democrats have invariably fought
such measures tooth and nail Last year
Judge Sharswood declared the Registry Law
of 1868 unconstitutional. The simple truth
is that Judge Sharswood and most of his
brethren in politics will declare all laws, in
tended to prevent man voting from twice to
twenty times day, unconstitutional. With
q fair ballot Grant and Grisworld would have
carried New Y ork State last Fall. With a
fair vote the Republicans can carry the city
of Philadelphia every year.
This is certain: The liberties of this ma
tion are more imperled by election frauds
than they were by the war Of the Rebellion;
and unless the fair-minded citizens arouse
themselves and increase their vigilance the
the institutions which have cost so much to
establish will disappear like frost before the
morning sun.

RAILWAY CA1AMTTY.-Anothcr terrible ca-
lamity occurred on the Erie Railway at Mast
Hope station, 30 miles from Port Jervis on
The night of the l4th instant. 1t appears
that the night express coming West, ran in
TO the engine of a freight train which stood
on the track, crushing several cars and burn
ing everything in reach that was and that was
not crushed by the collision. From ten to
fifteen persons, mostly German emlgrants, in
the smoking car, were killed or burnedl to
death. The passenger train was little late
and running at forty miles an hour. The en-
gneer Of the freight had taken q nap while
waiting on side track. Supposing probu-
bly, that the express had passed, he was just
moving his train on to the main track when
the express came along at laundering rate.
The usual result of such criminal carelessness
followed. Ten or fifteen human beings but a
moment before in tie peaceful security Of
midnight slumbers, were crushed and burned
SO that the charred remains of only one or TWO
could be recognized.

The Lutherans are more numerous in Min

which it has been found impossible to execute
down to the present day.

The Democratic papers, for the want Of a
better reason, are attacking Governor Geary
because he is a Temperance man. What
sensible man would prefer drunken attor-
ney to transact his business: a besotted ply.
sician TO attend his family when dangerous
ly sick; an inebriated minister to preach the
gospel to him; dissipated fnancier to have
thecOntrol of his money, or drunkard to
preside over The State? Gen. Geary is a
Christian gentleman; and to be either a
Christian or a gentleman, it is universally
conceded that a man must be sober.

For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,

Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Con nS111n na1ntin ion

For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history Of
medicine, has anything won widely and so deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through Il long
series of years, and among most of the races of
men it has risen higher and higher i'll their estima-
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat, have made it known a re-
liable protector against them. While adapted to
mider forms of disease and to young children, it is
at the same time the most e1ectual remedy that
be given for incipient consumption, and the dam
gerOuS affections of the throat and lungs. AS pro-
vision against sudden attacks of Group, it should
be kept on hand i'll every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in
durable, still great numbers of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
CherTy PectOruI. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When moth
ing else could reach them under the Cherry Pee
Singers aud Public Speakers find great pro.
lection from it.
Asthn.a is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
CHERRY PectOroL in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here or do more
than assure the public that its qualities are fully
maintained.

NOT one passenger has been MANNED, and
not one killed on the road, through airy de-
fault of the Union Pacific Railway since it
has been in whole or partial operation. Up
to the lst of last May it had carried l43, 896
passengers, and yet in spite of the dangers
and confusion of construction and material
trains moving all the time, life and limb have
been as safe, if not safer, than on any road

and the second jury were unanimous in the
belief that he was innocent.
The abuse of seamen on board of Ameri-
can merchant ships is becoming of frequent
occurrence l before wrote of the abuse
heaped upon the crew of the kiag Philip by
their officers. The ship is anchored in our
harbor, with number of the crew on board
not having worked out their advance pay.
The officers seem to make it a study of ways
and means to " work them up, as it is styled
Lately, parties from the shore have noticed
the second anchor let go, and the crew i'm
mediately put to the windlass 10 take IL in
again. Jack became tired of it at last and
one day removed the shackle pin, so that
when the order was given to take the anchor
the chain came in, but the anchor was non
est. Divers were employed, and after some
trouble and delay, the anchor was found
and secured.
The following extract from local paper
shows the style of man the first officer is:
Three men, recently discharged from the
King Philip, had shipped in the Lorenzo, and
went on board in state of intoXication,
little before she sailed. One of the three
men was directed by the mate to execute
some order, which from his state he failed of
doing, whereupon the mate knocked the
man down, and kicked him in the face, in
ficting a severe wound with his boot. The
mate of the King Philip, it is said, was
standing on the esplanade and encouraging
b s brother mate of the Lorenzo to give
those fellows - for me-" seemingly much
delighted at the display of brutality.
Who would not set fire to ship when by
SO doing one could part company with such
q brute.
Some curiosity is manifested to know
whom we are to have as Minister Resident.
By the kilograms published in the San Fran
cisco papers, it would seem as though some
difficulty was experienced in nominating
party suitable TO all concerned. A rumor
prevailed here at one time that colored gen.
tlemen would be sent. Some little curiosity
is evinced as TO his reception here if such
should be the case.
As matter of economy, it is said that the
United States Faval agent has been recalled,
and no successor named. At the same time
Consul has been appointed for Lahaina, a
port which entertains about four ships year,
at salary of 50, 600 year. Good for the
