When Mr.. Greeley was chosen
President of the Tammany Repu5li-
can Committee, he made an address in
which he said in relation to Gen.
Grant: GAS to the administration of
Gen. Grant, recognize no one as q
Republican who is not grateful for its
judicious, energetic and successful
efforts to procure the ratification of
the fifteenth amendment, that key
stone of our political arch, whereby
the fruits of our great triumphs over
rebellion and slavery are assured and
perpetuated. That the President has
made some mistakes in appointments
is obvious. 1t would be strange, in
deed, if one so inexperienced in the
conduct of political affairs, had Who'll
ly escaped them. While asserting the
right of every Republican to his un-
trammeled choice of a candidate for
next President until nomination is
made, | venture to suggest that Gen.
Grant will be far better qualified for
that momentous trust in 1872 than le
was in 1868" Mr.. Greeley was thus
one of the very first to indicate his
preference for the next Republican
candidate for the Presidency.

The Democratic Nominations.

The Democratic State Convention at
Reading, May 80 nominated Hon.
Charles II. Buckalew for Governor, on
the seventh ballot. Mr.. Buckalew
was born in Columbia county, Pennsyl-
vania, December %, 1921; adopted
the profession of law, and was admit
ted to practice in 1S43. He is an un-
compromising party man and will
daw only party vote.
VIM. Hartley of Bedford was nom
mated for Auditor General. He is a
dyedin-thewool Democrat, but COM
paratively unknown.
Richard Vaux, of Philadelphia,
James IL. Hopkins of Allegheny, and
II. b. Wright, of Luzerne, were NOM
mated for Congressman at large.
The resolutions as adopted contain
nothing but an Endorsement of Jefler-
sons inaugural and Jackson's farewell
declaration; that the election Of Buck
alew will secure at once a correction
of all existing evils, and the condem-
nation of grants of charters by the
Radical Legislature to the South I'M
provement Company and like corpora
tions. The resolutions were tamely re-
ceived and failed to elect even ordina-
ry applause.
The following were chosen delegates
to the National Convention: James
P. Barr and John II. Bailey were cho-
sen Senatorial delegates from the
Twenty-second District, and P. H..
Stevenson, elector: Col. David Camp
bell and p. Ii. Winston, delegates
from the Twenty-third District and
John T. Baird, of Butler elector. 1t
was agreed that the delegates from
each Senatorial district name one
member of the State Central Commit
tee, and the Chairman of the Conven-
tion, in conjunction with the nominees,
to select the Chairman of the State
Committee. Adjourned.

BRIDGE.

They are having trouble about that
bridge at Tidioute, the one which was
going to throw all the trade of Forest
and Clarion counties into that place.
In the meanwhile, our bridge, which
will be great accommodation to the
public generally, but which it is not
supposed will give us all the trade of
Warren county is progressing rapidly,
under the energetic management of
Messrs. Bell & Breckenridge. The
bridge ruction in Tidioute, according
to the Oil City Derrick, has taken the
following shape:
They had a charter, company or
ganized and stock enough subscribed
TO warrant them in going ahead. They
enlarged their ideas and decided to
build a bridge worth $4,000 more
than first proposed. This amount they
asked the property owners on the op-
poste side Of the river to subscribe.
The owners couldn't see it. They
thought the bridge was sure to be built
and kept their money. But they i'm
mediately put up the price of their
land to 81 800 per acre-worth say
500 without the bridge. Good build
ing lots over there, you see. The Jour
nal may tell the rest:
The Bridge Company met to take
action on the increase of stock neces-
sary to build the bridge, and voted not
to increase the stock, unless those
property owners that were to be so i'm
mensely benefited, would contribute
literally to the bridge. They do not
ask money, but donation of land say
some ten acres, in alternate sections,
at the advanced rates. Now, here
comes the hitch: the owners aforesaid
do not seem willing to donate the
land, and the bridge company will not
build unless some arrangement can be
made to cover this point. As far as
we understand it, this is the present
status of the question, and we are toll
erably sure that no bridge will be built
unless something Of the kind is done.
The simple justice of the proposition
must at once strike all, as it is not
fair nor right that property shall be
raised immensely without the cause of
that advance reaping some benefit
therefrom.

MECHANICS LIENS liens
have been a source of great trouble to
house-builders, but the new law which
went into effect June 1st, 70, will rem
edy some of the evils Of the old prae-
tice' By the new regulation a man
who makes written contract with the
builder and pays the stipulated price
for the work, can lean upon the con-
tract for support against any liens,
which the men employed by the build
er, or those who furnish the material,
could otherwise bring against the
building when completed. The par
ties who furnish the material are thus
compelled to look to the contractor
for their pay, and cannot come back
on the house owner, after he has once
paid the contractor.

The Richmond, Virginia, Enquir

The Richmond, Virginia, Enqutr-
er says;
personally General Grant has
many frienls in the South among our
people. Yet there is not
one Of these but would feel insulted
were he asked to lend his aid to re-
ward the victor for having conquered
the South. The objection to General
Grant on this score would lie against
any other leading officer of the North
ern army who contributed to our de-
feat. With Mr.. Gree
ley it is quite another thing. He was
not in pOwer-and he used oil his infu.
enee, first, to permit the South to depart
IN peace, and afterwards to settle the
difficulty upon any terms that were
honorable alike to both sections. Ev.
cry Confederate soldier in the South
can vote for Greeley without feeling
that he has made any sacrifice of hi,
principles or manhood"

On Sunday last little girl, about
- years Of age named Ella Stensberry,
residing in Rouseyille, was terribly
burned by attempting to light a fire
with kerosene. 1t appears that while
in the act Of pouring the oil on the
fire the can exploded, and enveloped
her in liquid flame. A gentleman
passing at the time rushed in, wrapped
her in blanket, and, after considera-
BILE difficulty, put the fire out. The
unfortunate child is burned so severe
ly that little hope is entertaint d of her
recovery.-Herald.

On Saturday night a dreadful ac-
cident occurred at Petersbugh, at the
well of Speers, Ormsby and Geider.
While the workmen were engaged in
roaming, a sudden flow of oil and gas
took place, causing an explosion. At
the time Of the accident four men were
present, A LAWNS, Rob't Bone, A..
Urquhart and Charles LAWNS. The
two former were blown to a considera-
BILE distance by the explosion, and
burned so severely that death ensued in
a short time. The two latter We're
badly burned. The well burned until
Sunday evening, when the fire was ex-
tinguished. Citizen.

done. 1t is needless to add that Camp

The Democrat says that Sheriff John

One A. w. Cook, formerly of the Erie
Dispatch, and more recently of Steu-
benville, Ohio, is travelling the coun-
try pretending to be employed by the
Cincinnati Commercial, in hunting up
personal matters in favor of Horace
Greeley. He has scooped us out of
ten dollars, by representing he had
money in the Humboldt Savings Bank,
Eric, and that he was re-employed as
local on the Erie Dispatch. He gave
his check on the Humboldt Savings
Bank, which was returned with the
reply that they could find no such de-
positor on their books. We caution
our brethren of the quill against him.

We learn from the Venango Ciii-
zen that James p. Riddle, County
Commissioner, his wife and five chill
dren, met with a severe, and perhaps,
TO some of them, fatal accident, while
returning home from church on last
Sunday. In crossing a high bridge
over Little Scrubgrass creek, above
Anderson's mills, in a two horse wag-
on, one side of the bridge gave way
and suddenly precipitated the whole
family into the rocky bed of the creek,
sixteen feet below. The whole party
were injured more or less, Mrs. Riddle
and one Of the boys being so badly
hurt that they are now in precarious
condition. The crash Of the falling
bridge was heard by some cf the peo-
pie returning home by another route
who FASTENED to the assistance Of the
family who were lying helpless under
the fallen timbers.

On Saturday 25th ult., in the Court
of Common Pleas, Philadelphia,
Judges Allison, Ludlow, Pierce, Pax
son and Finletter, sat to give Judge
ment on the constitutionality of the
Local Option law, and they decided
the law TO be constitutional, Judge
Ludlow alone dissenting. The Court
held that statute can certainly be
made conditional, and "it is of no
moment whether the condition be an
earthquake or vote of the people" "
The Local Option act is a law of itself
defining an oiiense and prescribing a
penalty without vote of the peo-
pie. The vote of the people
does not make the law or enact it.
The Court held that the law was as
perfect a law as any by which we elect
the President of the Republic. Judge
Ludlow held that as under the decision
of the Parker case, the Legislature
could not delegate its power to the
vote of the people, this Local Option
law was unconstitutional because il
left the question Of license or nc
license to vote Of the people.
