The Republican National Convention.

This body met in Philadelphia on
June 9TH, at the Academy of Music
which had been tastefully decorated for
the occasion. The meeting was called
to order by Hon. VIM. Claflin, Chair
man of the National Executive Com.
mittee. Morton McMichael of Phila.
delphia was chosen temporary Chair
man. Numerous speeches were made,
three of them by colored delegates.
Judge Settle, of North Carolina, was
made permanent Chairman, after which
the Convention adjourned until the fol.
lowing day.
The next day, after the Convention
was called to order there was much
speech making by white and colored
men after which Grant was nominated
for President, receiving the votes of all
the delegates. The contest for the Vice
Presidency terminated in favor of Hen.
ry Wilson Of Massachusetts, who re-
ceived 36i! votes; 32ll being cast for
Colfax.
The Convention then adjourned sine
die.

The Philadelphia Press still keeps
advising its party to change its candid
ates, or else inevitable defeat awaits
them. In its issue of the 5th inst, il
says" But unfortunately we have q
State election in October, when we shall
have to vote for Governor, Auditor
General, Supreme Judge, and Leg
islature to choose United States Sena-
tor for six years from the 4th of March,
1878. ForeSeeing the importance Of this
initaial contest, The Press appealed,
six months anterior to our State Con.
vention, for the very best nominations
for State officers. We stated, over and
over again, that, however strong Grant
might be, he was not strong enough to
pull through a set of bad State and local
nominations. Events in New York
proving unspeakable corruption among
the Democrats, and the conviction of Of
tenders in our ranks in Philadelphia,
intensified the justice and vindicated
the necessity of this warning. We
pleaded not only for our own welfare as
State, not only for our own honor as a
people, but for the reelection of General
Grant. II was all in vain. The State
Convention selected candidates for State
officers, two of whom were openly
repudiated by number of Republican
papers and in number of Republican
counties. For refusing to endorse these
nominations The Press has been loudly
and perseveringly slandered as the Sc.
cret enemy of President Grants re-
election.
We speak for no man or men. We
echo no resentment. We plead for the
Republican party of Pennsylvania, long
oppressed by this most odious Personal
Rule. We plead for Grant, whose great
name is employed to frighten timid
men into submission. We do not ask
that candidates from the disfranchised
Republicans of the State shall be sub.
stituted for Hartranft and Allen, but
we demand that our success In Novem.
ber shall not be imperilled by our de-
feat in October. General Hartranft was a
brave soldier, and, we believe, is an
honest man; but does he not know that
there Is deep and determined purpose
among the Republicans Of many por.
tions Of the State not to support him9
Need we tell him and his friends of the
sentiment In Philadelphia, Lancaster,
Chester, Luzerne, Wyoming, Allegha-
ny, Cambria, Venango, Lebanon, York,
and other counties? They refused to be
warned in January; win they not be
adm0nished In June? The candidate
for Auditor General, Col. Allen, OF
Warren, lis, we are glad TO believe, ready
to retire, like q good Republican, before
q demonstration even more serious.
The Republican party is In crisis, and
nothing can save 1t but bold and un.
elfish action"
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1872-06-14

Gov. Pierpont of West Virginia, one
of the delegates from that State to the
Grant Convention in Philadelphia, se-
ceded from his delegation just before
the convention met.
He said he chad hoped, when selected
| without solicitation to come as dele
gate to this convention, that there
might be still an opportunity to save
the party by the nomination of an ac-
ceptable Presidential candidate-one
who would obey the laws and respect
the popular will; but it is now evident
that it was hoping against hope-that
this Is not a meeting for deliberation as
to the interests of the Republican party
Of the country, but meeting to obey
the exacting demands of an arrogant
power. Neither the admonitions of
Cincinnati nor of Sumner are needed,
and it is resolved to destroy the organi-
zation to crafty mere personal govern
ment. l therefore withdraw from the
delegation and give you this timely no.
tice to fill my place. l shall then be
free to give my earnest support to Hor.
ace Greeley"

JAMEs GORDON nENNETr.

This veteran journalist died June
1st, in the 72l year of his age
at his residence, at Fort Washington,
near New York city. James Gordon
Bennett, Sr., was native Of Scotland,
born at New Mill, Banflshire, about
1900. He was educated for the church at
a Roman Catholic Seminary at Aber-
deen, Scotland, but did not enter the
priesthood. In April, 1919, he emigrat-
ed to the United States, and attempted,
but with Indifferent success, to earn a
living rs q teacher. In 1922 he became
| connected with newspaper in Oh lrlCs.
| ton, $. G., but soon removed TO New
York, where he was employed L first as
reporter, and then a. assistant editor on
several journals Of that city, taking an
active part in politics as supporter of
| General Jackson. IN 1880 he became
associate editor of the New York Courier
and Enquirer, having previously been
| the Washington correspondent of that
journal and the first person that ever
wrote newspaper letters from the capi-
tai. Iu 1888 he was chief editor of the
Pennsylvania, published in Phile ell
phia. lie then removed to New York
and established the New York Herald,
the first number of which was issued on
May 9TH, 1885. This well known jour-
nal, although starting as a small sheet,
in consequence of tho energy, ability,
and perseverance displayed by Mr..
Bennett, became a newspaper of wide
circulation and extended influence
throughout this country and Europe. In
his activity in obtaining the freshest
and most important news from all quar-.
ters. and in the liberal compensation
paid for seeking out the latest intelli.
gence Mr.. Bennett was unrivallC j, ard
the Herald for thirty. seven years haf
been under his intelligent and unre.
mitting supervision, and has been emil
nently successful.

Mr.. Buckalew is of the conservative
school of politics, although he strongly
advocates the cumulative principle in
voting and has devoted much study and
considerable time to the propagation
of this idea. Senator Buckalew bears
an irreproachable character throughout
his State among men of both parties,
and it is agreed that he will poll large
shsre of the republican vote as against
Hartranft irrespective of the liberals
who will probably indorse him.

BooKs.-Wc have examined a VAL
liable book entitled "A commentary.
on the old and New Testaments," BY
Jumieson Famsett ind Brown left for
our inspection BY Mr.. II. Frelerikse
Our first impression. Of the great
merits of this work would undoubtedly
be confirmed by further examination, as
it presents results rather than processes.
and the reader can at once reach the
judgement Of the expositor. It is re-
commended by tn: clergy Of almost all
denominations, and We can recommend
it a. book worthy Of a place in all
libraries, as one is incomplete with.
out it.
In connection with this work, Mr..
Frederikse will canvass the county
for "The illustrated History Of the
Bible" by VIM. Smith l.. L. D. Thi,
work commences with the creation Of
tho world, and terminates with the close
Of tho Apostolic Era, contains h;sto
ry Of the Jews Of the Dispcnsation
from the taking Of Jerusalem by Titus
down to the present time, and is embcl
lished with 243 choice engravings, ant
contains 100 pages. It is u rar'
work, and will find = place 10 many
homes.
Mr.. Frederikse will canvass til,
county for these works, and we hop
will meet with the success they dc
serve.

The REsULr.-We are somewhat
late in our report of last ysar's results,
but thinking it better late than never,
We will post our readers as to what has
occurred in the way Of marriages,
births and deaths.
With our extensive population, wide
awake citizens, gool-looking young
ladics,-and We have more of the latter
than any other county in the State,
in proportion to our population-there
were only sixty-eight marriages con.
summ,ted during the twelve months
ending January LIST, last.
Statisticians inform US that married
people attain a greater age than unmar-
RED ones; aud French savant has re-
Gently discovered that in one thousand
perso.s between twenty-five and thirty
years, tho per cent. Of mortality for
married men is only 6.2, while for bach-
elors it is 1912, and for widows it is
els. Thus VIC see that widows are in
twice the mortal danger Of bachelors,
and bachelors a triae over two-thirds
more than married men. "a word
to the wise, &c.
During the past year there were 2o4
births and 81 deaths. For the benefit
Of our readers we will give the result,
in each township. IA follows:
