GEN. THOMAS f. MEAGHER, whose name
is as familiar as household words, was an
unmatched Irish orator and gallant soldier
in defence of the Union. After the war be
was appointed Secretary of Montana, and
met an untimely death by being drowned
in the Missouri at Fort Benton. He had
an only chiid-a son. AH application was
lately made ty some of the friends of his
distinguished father to Gen. Grant, for the
appointment of young Meagher to a cadet
ship at West Point. The application was
refused, or if the appointment was promised,
as would seem to have been the case, it was
never made. Did Grant fear that the ap-
pointment Of a son of Thomas +. Meagher,
whoshad sworn on the altar of his country
eternal hostility to England, would give
mortal offence to the members ST the British
Commission who were then negotiating the
late treaty with this government.

Chairman vyanace-GO 10 work.

The action Of the State Convention max
ing Hon. William a. Wallace chairman Of
the State Executive Committee, is much TO
be commended. Mr.. Wallace is one of the
ablest men i u the ranks Of our party, and
will throw vim and energy into the CAM
pRign that will be sure to rouse the enthusl-
asm and spirit Of the party generally,
throughout the State. He was formerly
chairman Of the committee. aud led the
Democracy gallautly through mary hard
fought contest. The corfsrrug Of this honor
upon him again, at this time, is high com.
piiment to his skill and ability. and ole
which his past services peculiarly eutitle
him TO. The election this fall Immediately
precodes the grand presidential contest Of
1872, and it was therefore eminently nee
essary that we should this year have our
best man at the helm. With Chairman
Wallace to direct our energies, we feel that
we shall march to certain victory. He is
an untiring, iudomitable, and dauntless
leader. and will wrest a triumph from the
very clutches of Radicaism. We consider
his election to the chsirmanship a master
stroke OF policy, and one which will fall
with benumbing effect upon the heads OF
our enemies. They know it means fight in
earnest, aud already we begin to hear cries
of tismay and chasrin from the Radical
leaders.
Now then let rs go into this campaign de-
termined to win. We can do it just as easy
as not. only we must all WORK Nobody
must sit down and hold his hands and wait
on others. but eUery man must work with
all his might The harder we work, the
greater will be our victory, and in proper
tion as we win now. so will we win in 1872
We have MCCANDLEss and CooPER-two
able and emiuentIy qualified geutlemen-to
bear a!oft our banner, with WALLACE as
lieutenant. and, with such leaders, we can
not be beaten. We believe that the sun of
the second Tuesday of next October is des>
tined to be the bright sun of the Democracy
in Pennsylvania and to witness the downfall
of the peoples enemies in the glorious old
keystone State. And our triumph then
will be to the Radicals the shadow of the
coming event of 1872. which shall overthrow
them and all the hosts that have forgotten
God and the country and set up political
Baal in the land
Let every good man, therefore, be he Dem
ocrat or Republican, go to work at once.
aud help to bring about the good old days of
yore. Surely, no man can say truthfully
that he is not tired and disgusted with the
way things are going on now. Why, then,
should there be any hesitation in Joining
hands for the sake of bettering our condition.
There cannot be-there will not be.-Belle>

GRANT has transferred the executive de-
partment of the government from the White
House to Long Branch. He arrived there
last week with six Of his fastest horses and
several of bis best carriages. The Phladel-
phin Inquirer Of yesterday week said. "On
Wednesday four car loads of articles passed
through this city on its way to Long Branch,
intended for the Presidential party. These
consisted Of horses. carriages, ETC." During
Grants absence, which, according to the
Inquirer. will last until October, the Governs
ment machine, or what is left Of it, will be
run by Gen. Babcctk and one of the numer>
Gus Dent family. As the whole thing is
miserably weak and rickety, we suppose
that Batcock and Dent will be able to man>
age it. This is indeed model and glorious
administration, compared with which the
tame and common place affairs Of the first
Washington, Madison. Monroe and jackson
were flat. stale and unproftable." Long
live the Republic Of the West!

RICCandless and Cooper.

That the nominations made by the Dem
ocratic State Convention were wise and judi
cious, is fully attested by the favorabls en-
dorsenent they have met from the Demo
cratic press. General McCandless has
well earned reputation both as soldier and
a civilian. He belonged to the Pennsylva-
MIA Reserves, which was the most complete
and splendid body Of troops furnished by
any State to swell the ranks of the Union
army Their history has been written on
almost hundred battle fields, and there it
will remain forever. As in France it was
esteemed glory enough for soldier to belong
to the O!d Guard" of Napoleon so in the late
civil war it WIS and still is deemed an honor
to have been a member of the Pennsylvania
Reserves. AS Colonel Of one of its regi-
ments, and afterwards Brigader General,
he bore conspicuous part in al the mem
morable campaigns in which they were en-
gagged, sharing in their splendid but dearly
bought career, all Of which be saw and part
of which he was. He is one of the few sur
yivors OF that efficient arm of the service
which, at the commencement of the war.
bore the names Of fifteen thousand gallant
young men on its muster rolls and at its
close contained not more than the one SeUe1ih
of that number. The military record, there
fore. of General McCanGless is unblemished
bright and beyond rcproach. As a mem
Der of the State Senate after the close Of the
war. he occupied a prominent and Influential
position. The Republican press Of Phila-
delphia. where General McCandless resides,
and where he is best known, concede his
honesty and integrity, as well as his peculiar
qualifications for an able and efficient dis
charge Of the duties of the responsible Office
for which he has been nominated.
With the life and character of Captain
Cooper, the candidate for Surveyor General,
the people are not SO familiar, from the fact
that this is the first time he has been can
didate for public Office. He too belonged
to the Reserves" and acquired honor and
distinction as the commander of Battery B,
Familiarity known in the army Of the Poto-
mac rs "Cooper's Battery" He enjoyed
the fall confidence of Gen. Meade, who re-
commended him for promotion to the office
of Colonel, as a well -merited reward for his
courage and ability as a soldier aud an Off
GER. Capt. Cooper is young man, honest
and Ture-unskilIcd in the dark and tricky
ways of the protested politieian-and his
nomination is lis own best endorsement. As
the Democratic party has thus been fortu~
nate in the selection Of its candidates, so will
their election in October be as gratifying as
we predict it will be decisive

THE Democratic State Convention of Ohio
met at Columbus cn the 1st inst. On the
second ballot. Col. Geo, w. McCook was
nominated for Governor Nominations for
other State officers were also made. The
resolutions adopted by the convention were
reported by Gen. Geo. w. Morgan, dis
tinguished member Of Congress and lead
ing Democrat of the State. Following the
action Of the Pennsylvania State Convention,
the Democracy of Ohio acquiesce in and
recognize the binding force of the recent
amendments to tie Constitution, while they
repudiate the Illegal manner of their ratif-
cation. In other words, they throw behind
them all dead issues-refuse to be tied to a
political corpss-look to the present. and
wisely plant themselves on the living ques-
tions of the houI. Z accounts represent
the convention to have been the largest and
most enthusiastic political assemblage Of the
kind that ever met in the State. George
II. Pendleton was President Of the Conven-
tion. Col, McCook. the nominee for Gov
ernor, is a member OF the lighting McCook
family" of Ohio. and prominent lawyer of

The Ravena, Ohio, Democrat puts on
record the following new style of making
bntter: "a few days since, hrs. Mary M.
Hughes, put about a quart OF cream IN
cloth bag. and buried it about two feet deep
in the earth, where it remained three Gays.
when she disinterred it, and found it trans
formed into pure, sweet, yellow butter.
with not one drop Of buttermiik to be seen.
Mrs. Hughes thinks that cream VIII yield
about one-third more butter by that pro-
cess than by the old-fashioned way churn-
ing. 1..a,z
a little boy about five years of age, son OF
MIR. Miller, Of GTayson county, was killed
hv tbe bite of a rattelsnake. The little fell
low had gone out with some other members
Of the family to look for eggs, and in his
search ne crawled underneath his fathers
barn. After going some distance under the
floor he screamed 10 his companions that
something was killing him. They obtained
assistance, and ripped up the planks in the
floor. when to their horror they found a
large rattlesnake tightly coiled around his
neck. The snake had bitten him in several
pIaces on the face and neck, and he was
quite dead when taken up.
"A dreadful earthquake visited the dis
trict Of Ta-tsien, China, on the borders oil
Thibet and about seven hundred miles north
west of Canton. on the 4th of April. 1870.
The city Of Bathang was overtbrown and
2,298 people were killed. A few Of the
troops and people escaped, but most of the
inmates were crushed and killed under the
falling timbers and stone. Flames also sud
denly burst out in four places, which strong
winds blew about until the heavens were
darkened with smoke. and their roaring was
mingled with the lamentations Of the dis
tressed people. The earthquake affeced an
area of over 400 miles. At the last advices
something like order and confidence had
been restored.
