Our neighbor OF the Democrat appears
to exu,t exceedingly over the fact that we
do not get paid for advertising the Treasu-
rCr's sales, ard thinks it ungrateful on the
part Of the County Treasurer towards lis af-
ter giving that officer hearty support. Our
neighbor is mistaken in supposing we sup
ported Mr.. Cadwallader, or any other Off
Ger last fall merely with the expectation Of
getting little county pap We had a
higher aim in view, and that was to make
n change in the condition of things about
the county offices, and as far as the Trea-
surer is concerned, we are happy to say
there is great change for the better alrea-
dy. Though we have not been i'll Mr..
Cadwalladcr's Office but once or twice since
he is elected, we are much gratified TO learn
that he performs his duties satisfactorily to
all who come III contact with him. The
printing we suppose we might have got had
we bored Mr. Cadwallader as hard as some
others. We were aware that the hjlton,dn
was entitled to it. and as to its publication
on this side of the river we thought that
Mr.. c. was able to make his own choice.
We presume Mr.. Cadwallader was inform
Cd, however, that by giving the job to the
Ga,9lte i. would also appear in the Demo
crat, as it is well known that much of the ad-
resiising y Procured il that wy ty those
two papcrs-aua that Tic type set up in Que
Office is loaned to the other As Mr.. G.
can kill two birds with one stone in this
way, we give him credit for being n little
sharper than some Of our former Treasu-
rcrs. If the editor Of the Democrat is
aware that we were Instrumental in secur-
ing Mr.. Cadwn!ader's nomination and
election, and he proves upgrateful towards
US, we are surely not 10 blame, and it is not
necessary TO condole with us on that at
count. We have so far succeeded in living
without any Of the county pap, and
really We would scarcely know how TO use
1t were we to get any, as it would be al
together new diet to us and might not set
as well on our stomach as it did on our
neighbor's, who has been brought up on
that kind of pabulum although we give
relriy ali the county advertising to our
readers gratuitously for the benefit Of the
taxpayers u parts Of the county where
neither the Gasette nor the Democrat have
Il ghost Of a circulation. We do not com.
!.'ain fan officer on that score, even though
lie might not lave acted wisely in the dis
;..bution 0f his patronage.

Col. FRANCIS JORDAN. - We notice
thai IN sonc quarters of the State an at
tempt has been made to reflect upon Col.
Francis Jordan, by associating him with
the action Of the recen: State Convention.
Col. Jordan's withdrawal as candidate

independent of what action the Conven-

\ CORRESPONDENT of tile Dt;aOcrdt
from Shamokin who signs himself "a Re-
publican, - aud who is evidently exceeding
ly radical on the license question, attempts
to reflect upon his Honor Judge Rockefe-
Ter, in regard to granting licenses to some
parties in Stamokin borough. This cor
respondent does not seem TO be aware Of
the fact that the President Judge can be,
and is frequently oyerrulcd by his associ-
ate Judges in granting licenses. If "a
Republican" believes that Judge Rockefel-
Ter was elected merely to serve and carry
out the views Of any clique or party he will
find himself vastly mistaken. His Honor
was elected by the people, and we are hap
py to see that he fills his position without
partiality or party prejudices. Where he
is known, no one will question his honesty
and integrity

can is evidently one who has had an''axe to

TERRIBLE RIOT IN INDIAN TERRIFIC
RY.-A riot occurred in the Court at Tala-
quah, Indian Territory, on Friday last DUR
ing murder trial.-Tho alleged murderer
was acquitted, at which relative of the
murdered man, who was in the court room
at the time, became so greatly enraged that
he shot the person dead who was on the
trial for the offence, and afterwards, level
ing a pistol at the judges head, fired, the
ball taking fatal effect. This desperate ac-
tion was the signal for desperate fight,
during which a number of persons, cstimat-
cd at ten, were killed, and several men
were severely injured. Three United
States marshals, named Hawkins, Wilson
and Owens, who were in the court room at
he time, were mortally wounded.

Address TO the People.

Hon. l.. Dclatield Smith read an addrcs
to the people, to the effect that the admin

nlent OF President Grant has been eminent
ly wise, conservative and patriotic, that il
is an act Of poetic Justice that the soldier
whose victories in war, and the statesman
whose triumphs Of peace have made the
last decade the most glorious i'll the annals
OF Americas history, should receive an earn.
est OF the gratitude of his couutrymen by
reelection to the Presidency.
The recommendations of the President in
favor of the principles enumerated in the
report of the civil service commission were
timely and appropriate, and deserve uni
versal Endorsement. The Investigations
set on foot during the present session of
Congress have demonstrated his purity,
while their cost had exceeded the aggregate
loss sustained by the government through
the honesty of is su6ordinates since the
administration came ilto power.
A record so clear and honoraby chal-
lenges admiration and the approval of the
people. With the grievances o! disappoint-
cd office seekers the masses cannot be eX-
pected to sympathiZc. Believing General
Grants civic career titiuly supplements
his military greatness, and that he possesses
can people, we pledge him our united and
hearty support rs "A candidate for re-elec-
ton.

was read, and also telegrams to the same
