formed the President of the object of their
visit which was the appointment of Mr..
Truman as postmaster, the President in
formed the delegation that he considered
himself bound by the civil service rules,
which were approved by Congress, and that
unless MIR. Fairman was incompetent, he
did not see how he could avoid appoint
ing him under the rules but in case Mr..
Fairman was not qualified, he would APP
point Mr.. Truman. 1t is very hard to see
where the snub comes in. The President
is only carrying out one of the measures of
Republican Congress- and no doubt he
thinks of this what he has said of some
others. that the best way to kill bad law
is to faithfully execute it. The President
is not unmndful of the great honor that
has been twice conferred upon him by the
Republican party, and he is the last man
who would desire TO see the enemies of the
Republican party put into positions that
could be filled with credit by its true and
tried friends, but that does not rest with
the President the only way in which Re-
pubicans and soldiers can have the prefer
ence in appointments under the admins
tration will be for Republican Congress
to devise better means of reforming the c.
vii service than those at present employed.
At meeting of the Pennsylvania Re-
publican Association held OH last Friday
evening, n resolution of thanks to the Pie
sident, "Arty" Shissler, was offered and
unanimously agreed to. Col. Shissler
worked hard during the campaign for both
the State and National tickets, and for the
interests and rights of the members of the
Association, and his labors are well appre-
ciated, and it may be truly said that no re-
solution ever received a heartier response
than this resolution of thanks to our wor-
thy President. The Association intends
giving a series of sociabes during the COM
ing winter, the first of which will take
place on the 9th of December, and the last
one on the 9TH of March, the day after
somebody, whose name, am happy to say,
is not Horace Greeley, is to be inaugurated
President of the United States for four
years more. Mr.. Harrison, the second
Vice President of the Association, has the
sociable business in charge, and they will
no doubt be crcditable to the Association,
as were those of last winter, under his
manaa ement. The last one will afford an
opportunity to those Pennsylvanians who
intend being in Washington during the in
auguration ceremonies to spend an evening
pleasantly among the Republicans of Penn
sylvania temporarily residing here.
Yours, fraternally,

NOT MUCH CONCEITED AFTER ALL
Our neighbor of the Gazette attempts to rid
iculc US in his last issue, and thinks that we
are rather "conceited" in our assertion
that we endeavored to assist in bringing
about a change in our county offices, and
in asking the newly elected incumbents TO
Discharge their duties in manner satistac-
tory to their constituency, that we, with the
rest Of the Republican party, may feel COM
pensated for the labor performed in bring
ing about the grand result which will re-
lieve the people Of burdens long resting up
on them. We do not claim to have
brought about the late change ourselves,
but we do claim to have been one Of the
members of the Republican party that as
sisted in doing our share, and regret much
that our neighbor could not lend his assis-
taucc to the party. AS to the assumption
our neighbor speaks Of in claiming that the
American was The only paper at the coun-
ty seat that supported the Republican can
didatcs for State and National officers with
any degree of sincerity, we leave the editor
TO Judge for himself Had the Republican
papers in the county followed the course Of
the Gazette perhaps the result would have
been less cheering. We regret exceedingly
that our neighbor kept undecided as to
which was ''the largest party the Repu0-
lican or Democratic, previous to the Oc:o-
Der election But rs it was uncertain which
party was the strongest, and perhaps con-
sciencious in his Liberal Views" when
trying to convince prominent Democrats
on our streets, who declined TO support the
Democratic nominees, that it would be best
10 have change Of administration, and
that they had better vote for Mr.. Greeley
10 bring about that change, it would be
well for our ncighbor to explain. But as
the October election made wonderful
change, even in our neighbor, we have a
right TO believe that he too became more
sincere, and like Forney and others who
labor more Cor offices than principles, he
found it good policy to retrace his steps.
We are glad that he has returned to us
again, and hope that his faith may hold out,
and that he may yet become shining
light.

TIE Centennial Exposition to be held
in Philadelphia il 1875, is already exciting
the staid citizens Of the Quaker city, in de-
vising the ''ways and means" in order to
raise the proposed ten millions of dollars
for the purpose. At the fist meeting Of
the committee of one hundred, some of the
unsophisticated members, supposed all
they had to do was to cipher out the quota
that Philadelphia must raise according to
population, (about SlS0,000,} and let the
rest of this State, and the other States raise
the balance. Judge Kelley and several
others, however, gave them to understand
that they must raise several millions OF
this sum among themselves that outsiders
with few exceptions took but little interest,
comparatively speaking, in the matter,
Our Philadelphia friends ought to recollect
that outsiders, visiting the Exposition, will
have TO spend more money than most of
the citizens, and reap none of the profits.

IF ever the citizens Of sny district in
Pennsylvania had cause to pride them
selves in their Congressional Representa-
tive, they will have in this district in the
Hon. John b. Packer during his third term.
Mr.. Packers labors during two terms have
blen of tho most satisfactory CHARACTER, and
hence he is returned for third term, with
a larger majority than has ever been given
before. We have no doubt that his large
vote will cause him to enter his seat in the
next Congress with renewed energy to serve
his constituents. With such n Represen-
tative his constituency can well be proud.
No better guardian of the interests Of the
people could have been chosen. His cX-
pcrience and knowledge of legislation will
always be devoted to the best interests of
his native State, and to the Union,
There are few men returned to Congress
whose popularity at home is rs great as
Mr.. Packers, aud his ability in Congress
will no doubt, be acknowledged bya prom
inent position on the important Commit
tees in that body where The interests Of the
State will have n champion to defend her
rights for protection.

II is gratifying to us to inform the pubic that
DR.. l.. q. c. Wishart's Pine Tree Tar Cordial
for Throat and Lung Diseases, has gained an en-
viable reputation from the Atlantic TO the Pac-
hc coast, and from thence TO some of the first
families of Europe, not through the press alone,
but by persons throughout the States actually
benefited and cured at his Office. While he pub
fishes less, say our reporters, he is unable TO

First Not by stopping cough, but by loosen
ing and assisting nature to throw oil the I'M
healthy matter collected about the throat and

Second. 1t removes the cause of irritation
(Which produces cough) of the mucnous mem
brane aud bronchial tubes, assists the lungs to
act aud throw of the unhealthy sccretions, and
purfes the blood.
Third. II is free from squills, lobelia, ipccas
and opium, of which most throat and lung re-
medies are composed, which allay cough only,
and dlsorganize the stomach. 1t has a soothing
effect on the stomach, acts on the liver and kid

reaching 10 every part of the system, and in its
lnvigorating and purifying effects it has gained a
reputation which it must hold above all others in
the market.

ALL AEOUT A Doc Juniata Sen
tinal says:
In Lack township there lives man nam
ed Campbell. He has son named VIII
liam. This son lived not far from the pa
ternal home. About four weeks ago Il
number of hogs owned by the parent wan
dercd into the immediate vicinity of VIII
liam's house. y dog was put on the hogs
and they chased away. The father, not
liking the treatment his hogs received, con-
cluded to remove the cause of any similar
treatment from that same source by shoot
ing the dog. Accordingly he took down
his rihe and pursued the dog to n corn field,
where William was engaged in husking
corn, and stated the object of his presence.
The son said the dog should not be shot, and
proceeded TO throw stones at the parent.
But neither the objections of the son or
the stones he threw prevented the father
from levelIng his gun and shooting the dog,
which having done he walked home. The
son did not proceed Immediately, but nursed
his wrath till last Sunday n week, when he
took his revolver and a box of matches and
walked to his fathers house. Fortunately
he had gone to neighbours house, and
William found himself the undisputcd occu-
pant OF the property. He forthwith pro-
ceeded to dcmolish the contents of the
house. That done as far as lie desired, he
fired lot Of clothing in a room in the mid
die of the floor, and then directed his steps
to the stable, to which he also applied the
match, and then left for a neighbours house,
where he informed them what he had done.
There being no one at home but young
woman, she resOlutely declared her inten-
tiOn of going and putting out the fire il
possible, but William threatened to shoot
her if she attempted to go on such an err
rand. He soon took his departure, when
the girl ran over to the burning buildings.
The pile of clothing in the room was con
sumed, but the fire had made but little
progress on the floor and she with little
! difficulty put it out. The stable was in o
perfect sheet of flames when she reached
the place. A dozen men could not have
saved it. William searched among the
neighbors while to hud his farther tC
shoot him, but fortunately did not find him
That night he fled the valley. 1t is earn
estly hoped that he will be arrested anC

him for his outrageous and barbarous con
duct.

York in favor of annexation. Influential
parties who represent that cause, both
here and in the provinces, are asked to CO.

only Il very circumscribed influence. The
movement of the colonsts, it is said, will
be simultaneous in Philadelphia, Chicago,

Few persons who have not taken the
pains to look up the records have any idea
of the of the number of persons who
receive pensions from the United States
government, nor the vast amount annually
disbursed in the payment of this noble
national obligation to the crippled soldier,
the widow and tho orphan The total
number of pensioners now on the rolls is
232, ,220 The pact year has witnessed
the death of 0,104 who have heretofore
drawn pensions. The number is, how
ever, more than made up by the addition
to the roll of many thousands. consisting
of army invalids, soldiers widows, and
a large number of the soldiers of the war
of 1872. One of the most interesting fea-
lures of the Commissioners report Is the
fact that there are not less than 57S wild.
