From these proceedings We learn that
Hon. Henry Johnson, OF Muncy, re-
'"iycI the luminous nomination for
Senator after the frat ballot.
Mr.. johnson was not our Fl 81 choice
b,carsc We believed that the claims of
EAydcr County to the nominee were
stronger then those Of either Of the
other couniics OF tho District, aul we
would have been highly pleased to see
CJl. Simpson nominated. Yet wo hail
with delight the nomination of Mr..
Johnson, Knowing him to be one OF
Che best and most popular men in the

and business qualifications. il cmi.

The Coming Political
struggle.

The Pittsburg Dhpatch says :
From presentappcarances, the Dem.
ocratic papers arc taking to them
selves consolation little too soon on
the supposed weakening and disrup-
tion of the Republican party.-Thoy
seem prone TO assume that there is n
dissatisfaction so pe:vadiug, that the
lower House Of Congress mag change
politically, and in local elections the
Democracy come out triumphant.
There are several reasons for bclieyi1g e
their hopes entirely illusory. In the
general it has been the feature of the
past by our political history, tha; Il
change Of popular confidence from one
party to another, has always been At
tended with unmi,takable circumstan-
ccs--an Intense and pcrvalipg popular
aversion to the party 10 power, aud Il
corresponding enthusiasm favorable ia
the rival politicsl organization. This
has been so palpable that we need not
stop 10 illustrate the remark. But
who will pretend TO say that either OF
the conditions exist at present? There
is measure OF dissatisfaction with
some specific items OF legislation en-
acted by tho late Congress but it can
not bs doubted that there is general
and very decided satisfaction with the
administration Of President Grant.
The increase of s32 100000 in reve
hue receipts, and Sl0,000,000 in Gus
toms since General Grants inaugura
tion over the previous sixteen months
and the lessening OF expenses $50. .000.-
600 the payment OF sl56,OO0,000 on
tho national debt, and $4,000 00J
reduction in taxation arc palpable
facts which can bs easily understood
pnd appreciated. Moreover, the drift
Of popular sentiment is, not toward the
Democratic party, but rather to cor.
rect any evils that may exist, by chang
ing when necessary tho delegation in
Congress, substituting those 10 the
Republican party, who represent the
popular view for those who do not
There IL not tho slightest enthusiasm,

IT seems singular that this country
does not produce enough iron for its

unlimited supplies Of ore and coal
which are more socessibl, and snd
nearer 10 ssch other than in any other

iron producer in the world, and exports
