to the United States, under certain con

the entire amount at the rate of three
per cent per annum, to be divided quar-
terly among FIVE nephews and nieees
and one grand niece, during their life
time only; and at the decease of all tae
heirs the entire estate to become the
property of the United States. The
estate, it is said, is located in England,
and the terms Of the will, barring any
litigation that may possibly arise in its
settlement are perfectly fair.

Delegate Elections.

Tomorrow afternoon the Democratic
delegate elections are to be held in the
several districts of Columbia county.
We reiteratc the hope that all Demo-
Gratis will attend them and express their
desires, and that they will elect none
but firm and reliable intelligent men as
delegates. Let the best ticket be NOM
mated that is possible under the circum-
stances. When the nominations are
made it is hoped all will give them a
cordial support, that the whole energies
of the party may be directed to the
general cause and to the increase of the
Democratic vote of the county. II the
State is secured from the Radicals this
JaU the election Of a Democratic Presi.
dent in 1872 is half secured. Columbia
county ought to have full share in this
rescue. The Democratic majority OF
the county can be increased if there
is no local difficulty or division. Let
all, therefore, resolve in advance to sup
port the ticket, that all trouble in that
regard may be out of the way, and thai
every Democrat may feel clear to pu
forward every effort to increase thu
majority. 1t is clear that any one whit
attempts to create disunion and discort
at such time as this, cares more TO
some selfish purpose than for the success
of the party, and If he is needed at al
it should be with apprehension. Whel
the judgment Of the party, as to VIII
shall be the candidates, IS once pro
nounced, every Democratic voter mus
yield ready acquiescence in the decision
or become disturber of harmony. Th'
issue is both plain and inevitable. Who
ever, therefore, desires to promote th'
interests of the party will support th'
nominees with energy and good will
in order that harmony may prevail ant
strength may be fully developed ant
exercised.

The Democratic delegate elections in

semble at the Court House, in Blooms.
burg, on Tuesday next, at O'Clock, p.
m. The plain duty to be performed Is
the nomination of ticket to be sup
ported by the Democracy at the ensu-
ing election, and in this regard a mis-
take can scarcely be made as all the
candidates announced are represented
to be capable and of good character
They have been before the public for
some time and the people have had
ample opportunity to make up their
minds as to which they prefer. We
suppose that most of the nominations
will be settled by instruction.
For Coroner and Auditor no candi.
dates have been announced. The for.
mer is of but little consequence and
might as we'll be dispensed with. The
latter Office is important and ought to
be filled by good business man and
accurate accountant. No doubt such
can be found who will accept nomina-
tion.
For offices for which candidates have
been announced, it is to be noped that
the Convention will find no difficult y
in making suitable selections from the
list as published. 1t has an unfavora-
BILE appearance for candidates to come
up on the day of the Convention and
by dint of personal effort and appeals to
delegates obtain nominations for offices
for which others have been announced
as candidates but for which no instruc-
tions were given because not openly
contested. 1t is unfair and detracts
from the respect due the other nomi,

THE COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT BLOOMsBURG, COLUMBIA

SIMON CAMERoN's sjourneyman "wig-
gle. wager who heads tho Radical
Committee of this State, in his late
spumy address, claims that the Radical
party have reduced tho State debt from
$40, ,0OO, 900 in 1860, to 500, 900, 900 In 1871.
Tho Harrisburg Patriot properly re-
marks, that "nO credit attaches to that
party for this reduction, inasmuch as
the policy under which II has been nc.
complished was originated by the Dem
ocratic administration of Governor
William +. Packer. The act establish
ing the Sinking Fund was Democratic
measure, and was adopted by Demo.
cratic Legislature. Had the Radical
party administered that law honestly
and faithfully, indeed, had it not delib.
erately violated its provisions, the State
debt, Instead ofbeng 800, 100000, would
to day be less than half that sum, Dur.
ing the last eleven years, from fifteen to
twenty millions of dollars have been
taken from the Sinking Fund, contrary
to law, and applied, not to the reduc-
tion of the State debt, but to the pay.
ment of the current expenses of the
State government" These facts pune
ture the wind.bag of Mr.. Errett, and
it falls to the ground to be trodden un-
der foot by all honest, fair men. When
ever statement Is put forth showing
that the Radicals have reduced debt or
taxation, it is either clear fraud or an
artfully- manufactured piece of account
keeping.
