From CUBA.-It appears by advices re
ceived from Cuba that on the 18th and I4th
pretty sharp engagement was had near
Nuevitas, resulting in the defeat of the
Spaniards. There was heavy skirmishing
forty miles from St. Jago de Cuba on the
18th ond 18th. On both days, the Span
iards were repulsed, losing, it is reported,
over 500 men. This news was received
from Cuban sources, which hitherto has
proved more reliable than the Spanish
government dispatches, and is believed
in the main to be correct. 1t is quite GER
tain that the Cubans are suffering far less
from the ravages Of cholera and vomito than
the Spanish soldiery, owing probably to the
healty and elevated positions occupied by
the former.

1t is favorite slander with the opposi-
tion press of Pennsylvania to charge Gov.
Geary with indiscriminate and corrupt use
of the perogative of pardon. Never yet
was printed, by the most audaciously ma
lignant of them all, syllable of proof to
sustain the specification of corruption. In
that regard, the Governors friends may
defy any slanderous tongue. How is it, as
to the other branch of the Democratic In
dictment? Has Gov. Geary used his pc
rogative so freely as to bring odium upon
the public clemency and suspicion upon his
official Judgment? The record will best
answer these question. We have examined
this record with care. We find that, of the
sixteen Governors which this Common
wealth has had, including the present in
cumbent, from 1891 to this date, eleven Of
them show higher yearly averages of par
dons and remissions than he Gov Pol
lock averaged % per year, Gov Packer 73,
Gov. Skunk 81, Gov. Wolf So, and Gov
Geary S6. None of the remaining eleven
had averaged less than lO0 ranging from
los tor Gov. BIgler to 434 for Gov. Find
lay. These figures deciSively refute the
Democratic fabrication against the integri-
ty and discretion of the present Executive.
We may add that john W Geary is the
first Governor of Pennsylvania wko has
uniformly enforced the wise regulation re-
curing wide public advertisement of any
pending application for the benefits of his
mercifu prerogative. And, with equal uni>
| formity, the grant of his pardon is always
followed by the public announcement of the
names Of such officials aud citizens as have
recommended that case to his tender re-
gard. The truth is that Gov Geary has
given offense in some quarters by the peril
nacity with which he insists upon this poll
cy. Considering these facts, the reader
may form a better estimate of the true val
ue of the ISLANDERS to which reference is
here made

SIX Shillings Apiece"

\ contemporary says: If the Democracy
had really intended TO make square fight
upon questions of political principle, they
would never have undertaken the canvass
upon the budget of contradictory dema
gogueism which Is labeled as the Harrisburg
platform. Mo- that Is not the game! They
intend to buy their way through this year.

nee's surplus cash, and the character of
their platform was really secondary consid-

the Randall and II Mullen crowd very natur-
ally conclude that the mare may as well car

free trade as she can stagger under. And
so they have piled it on The question is, it
the honest and hard-workirg Democratic
farmers and mechanics of the common

Democratic Decentralization.

The Philadelphia Press says: Never have
the Republicans of Pennsylvania had
fairer ehanee for great victory than IN the
present struggle The Democracy are hope
lessly demoraliZed. Heretofore they felt
that they had at least an equal chance for
CARRYING PhiladeIphia but now this strong
reserve fails them The maintenance of the
ccnstitutionalily of the Registry Law by the
Supreme Cour, checks their systematic
frauds, while their local ticket here is not
only distasteful to honest men among them,
but has been repudiated by number of the
Democ ic ward organizations. IF they lose
the city, as they must, how can they carry
the counties of the interior? They have
also lost their nationality entirely. Upon no
one issue can they make stand. Beaten
upon every point by the Republicans, they
cannot rally against the fifteenth amend
inent with the great body of the Southern
Democracy in its favor. and rushing bodily
into the Republican ranks. If they talk
about negroes IN Office, they will be pointed
TO negroes elected by their own friends. If
they demand economy in the public service,
the record of Geary and Grant. who have
already paid off millions of the national debt
and of the debt of Pennsylvania, will be spread
before them. IF they attempt to prove
themselves friends of the protection of home
industry, the free trade platforms of the
Democrats of Ohio and New Hampshire will
be quoted against them. Thus they are at
once demoralizcd and sectionalized They
have lost their Prestige by defeat on all the
leading doctrines of their faith, and they
have lost the right wing of their party, the
Democrats of the South.
What then, is the duty of the Republi-
cans? 1t is to close the ranks and follow
the flag borne by General John W. Geary.
No true patriot will be found idle or indif-
ferent in such a contest. Personal grlefs,
Ike personal preferences, should all be made
to give way. Every Republican is bound
10y the decision of his party, and especially
so when the party has proved itself so de-
voted champion of the rights of the whole
people and of the honor of the country.
When the campaign is fairly opened the
faithful stewardship OF the great Republican
party will present brilliant contrast to the
rebellion, inconsistency, and utter absence
Of all real craftsmanship of the false De
mOcracy.

THE WHEAT MARKET. 1t appears clear
from our mercantile exchanges that prices
of breadstuffs are too high, and that there
must be still another decline. A Chicago
paper says that the receipts of the lake
ports for the week ending Jaly ,, were /,
l53,43S bushels in 1869, 445.I70 in 1868
and 25I ,372 in 1867. For the the week end
ing July 10, the receipts at Chicago alone
were 435, ,O4S bushels in 1869, agains: l4l,
04S in 1858. This shows an increase in
supplies during this brief interval Of , PA,
050 bushels, and the increase in this weeks
receipts at Chicago viii be sufficient 10 swell
the grand total to 1000, 900 bushels, with
out allowing anything for the large increase
in the receipts at Milwaukee, Toledo, De
troit and Cleveland.

The Herald Satisfied.

The New York Herald Is at last satisfied
with the financial condition of the country
Suspending its disposition to growl at every
thing, it says:
Since the war closed, now only four
years or little more ago, we have paid sew
eral hundred millions OF floating indebted
nes arising from the war, besides paying the
regular and vast demands of the Govern
ment for ordinary and extraordinary ex
penses. After doing this there has been
nearly all the time in the treasury seldom
less than one hundred millions of dollars ly
ing unemployed. Yes, a much larger sum
than that, if the gold be reckoned at curren-
cy value. And what are We doing now ?
Why, Mr.. Boutwell, is puzzled what to do
with the money accumulating in his hands.
He is applying the utmost limit allowed by
law to the sinking fund, and buying up mil
lions of bonds and putting them away till
Congress can authorize their destruction.
Yet, on the first Of this month he had over
a hundred and sixteen millions in the treas
ury. The debt is undergoing very mate
tial reduction now."

Our NATIONAL DEBT.--The point for
which Secretary Boutwell, is heading, and
which he is nearing, is the funding of the
public debt at a lower rate of interest
From abroad we hear that our credit, good
as it was before, is strengthening under the
demonstrated results of the policy which has
ruled since General Grants Inauguration
The country is progressing in thrift. Never
before were we SO energetic and bold in
building new and important railroads labor
is fairly employed, and most descriptions OF
legitimate business are receiving good re-
turns on the capital employed. We are
reducing the debt at a remarkable rate !;
too rapidly perhaps at the present rate of
interest except as a step preliminary to the
funding process. But perhaps the cause
that is conducting to debt reduction and
credit Strengthening, is the fact that stealing
of the revenues has been so nearly stopped,
and economy and honesty in disbursing them
are fully observed. 1t is well enough to keep
these things in mind. They pretty effectu-
ally answers the critics of General Grant,
who have only to complain that they or some
Of their family are not in Office.

The Grand Army of the Republic.


One of the greatest objects in organizing
the Grand:Army of the Republic has at last
been recognized by those who heretofore
have been crying it down as a political or
ganization. At the last National Encamp-
ment committee was appointed to consider
a proposition to establish cooperative life
insurance association, whose policy holders
should consist of the Grand Army itself.
The protector has issued 4 plan for carrying
out of this idea, to be submitted to com
mittee called to meet in Philadelphia on the
18th of August. BY this plan, any member
of the q. \. r., by paying 50 cents, and
one ccHt additional on the death of any fel-
lew comrade, will leave to his heirs at death
$1,000. 1t Is confidently believed that over
POO, ,00J of the organization will enter into
this system Of insurance, for from 81 900 to
$4,000 each. \ few moments random cal
culation Will show the feasibility of the pro
iect, which if carried out as recommended
will be one of the safest and crandest sys
TENS of life insurance, for our veterans, ever
conceived. Should any surplus fund re-
main, after the plan has been carried out,
and all the members shall have passed away

those who faithfully served their country

ALMOST BEYoHD REDEMPTION. About
FIVE weeks ago bundle was received at the
Treasury Department at Washington, from
a German at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with
the requeststhat the contents, which he said
was mutulated currency. should be redeem
ed, and good bills be returned TO him. On
opening the package it was found to contain
about peck of rubbish, consisting of scraps
Of paper, pieces of woolen cloth, strings,
chips, nutshels, and fragments of green
backs. The German accounted for the con
fused condition of his mutuiated currency
by stating tha: ha9ing saved by strict econ
omy five hundred dollars, in order that it
might be safely kept, he tied it up in an old
stocking and thrust it behind raltcr be
meath the roof OF his house, and the mice
made nest OF it. The peek of fragments
was turned over to two female counters,
who, after seventeen days labor iu sorting
matching and pasting, succeeded in rcscu-
ing from the mass $3.50, and draft for that
amount was forwarded to the economical
German.

The Poor Mans Candidate.

When man permits his name to be pre-
sented to the people as a candidate for of
especially when that office is the Chief
Magistracy of the State-he must expect
his character to be ventilated, all his ante
cedents under review and commented on.
The Reading Times has commenced this
delicate operation in reference to Asa Pack

that that gentleman amassed at least a por-
tion of his wealth by driving hard bargains
with the poor. 1t alleges that many years
ag0-some twenty-siX-hc had heavy con-
tracts for boating coal to New York, having
almost a monopoly of the business. While
engaged in this profitable. trade, he was so
hard on the boatmen that they resorted to
a strike. In order to persuade or force
them to continue their labor, Mr. Packer
went to South Eastop, where they were
congregated; but, says the Times, so VIC
