IT is matter of profound gratiflca-
ton to know that the Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee of Philadelphia
have repudiated the Legislative preten-
sions of the corrupt and infamous Sam
Josephs. Both he and David Sullivan
claimed to have been regularly nomi-
The whole question was referred to the
City Executive Committee, and that
body, after having heard the parties,
their proofs and allegations, have de-
cided that David Sullivan and not
Samuel Josephs was fairly nominated.
JOsephs refuses to submit to the ac-
ton of the committee and has appealed
to the radicals in the district to sus-
tain him. They did that last year by
withdrawing their own candidate (Por-
ter) and voting for Josephs, in order
to prevent the election of an independ-
cnt democratic candidate They have
now candidate of their own, and it
remains to be seen whether they will
desert him and comply with Josephs'
impudent demand.
1t has been a matter of deep surprise
to the democracy of the State how the
democrats of his district could consent
year after year to be dishonored at
Harrisburg by such Il graceless scoun-
drel rs Sam JOsephs 1t has always
been his boast that he could not he
defeated in his district. and now is the
time to determine that question. Mr..
Sullivan is represented to be an hon
orable man and entirely competent,
and if the democrats Of the district
have any personal pride they will elect
him, and thus rid themselves of as cor
rupt Il tool of the ring as ever disgraced
a seat in the legislature.

These are the official announcements of
Gov. Geary to the Legislature; they were
set forth in the speech of Mr.. Orvis, and
yet our neighbor skipped them-guesSing,
we presume, that lie had better not notice
them. They were doubtless furnished to
the Governor by the Auditor General and
the State Treasurer.
In conclusion the Patriot says, and we
quote its words in full:
During all this time Governor Hartranft
was Auditor General, Commissioned of tho
Sinking Fund and Special Loan COmmis-
sioner In the latter capacity he was re-
qured TO sell the new loan and to apply the
entire proceeds TO the payment OF the public
debt As Commissioner of the Sinking
Fund it was his duty to apply the moneys
received into that fund to the same object.
As Auditor General it was his duty to re-
fuse his approval to any other application
of any part of either OF these funds, and no
use could be made of them without his Off
cial sanction. Let the parties to these
transactions who arc still living bear the
responsibility for this great outrage upon
the taxpayers of Pennsylvania.
1.-The speech of Mr.. Orvis was made off
cially as n representative of the people, and
his facts and conclusions should have de
manded the Immediate attention Of the Off
cia,s charged with derelictiou of duty. We
congratulate the people of the State that the
issue has been forced upon these officials,
and we only ask the public shall give to the
subject deliberate and candid cOnsidera-
ton. If Mr.. Orvis is correct, Mr.. Mackey
has no claim TO continue at the head of the
Treasury, and the ring he represents should
he broken. If he is not correct the officials
implicated should make full explanations
and exhibits to the people. The issue is
longer n private one with Mr.. Orvis, but one
between the managers of the Treasury and
the whole people of the State"

The Johnstown FOice of last Satur-
dav, in a long article on the approach
ing county election, full Of wise saws
and modern instances, advises John
7. Harris, the radical candidate for
Sheriff, to Withdraw from the canvass
''and save himself for a future, more
propitious opportunity" We suppose
this is what it calls backing It's friends,
for which the chief Of police of Johns
town will consider himself highly flat
tered. Why is Harris specially select
ed as a fit victim to be offered up on
the altar of radicalism Are his
chances of election any more gloomy
than those of the rest of his radical
colleagues on the same ticket? y
common political grave is yawning to
receive them all. We hope that Ilar-
Tis lciU stick, and that as he and the
other candidates on the ticket have
been lovely in their political lives, 50
in their political death they Will not
consent to be separated.

TIE FINANCIAL CRIsIs.-The failure
of Jay Cooke & Co, which occurred on
Thursday of last week, has been followed
by some twenty odd others in New York,
aud ten or fifteen in Philadelphia, and
quite a number in various other parts Of
the country. The Cookies failed because
they we're carrying the bonds Of the North
ern Pacific railroad, which was paying
them nothing on the capital invested, and
which bonds could not be negotiated. The
general business interests of the country
will not suffer as in the panic of 1857, when
the State banks were III an unsOund con-
dition. 1t is even thought that these fail |
ures VIII result in good to the country, as
it will sweep out of existence the lealIy
and doubtful houses and enterprises, and
leave the healthy ones in operation. 1t is
also believed that the crisis has passed, and
that the worst has been realized.

Protecting Peach Trees,

=. Stewart, of the Mt. Leblanc Shakers,
communicated to the Farmers Club of
New York mode of protecting peach
trees from the grub which infests their
roots.
1t consists of mixture of one peck of
unbleached ashes, one quart fine salt, one
pint flour of sulphur four quarts bone meal
or phosphate of lime and two quarts fine
sea gravel.
He dug close around the roots of about
one dozen trees, some of them badly af-
fected with the grub, and put about pint
Of the mixture tight around the body In
the spring he examined all the trees close
ly to which this mixture has been applied,
and could find no appearance of grubs
about any of them. while one standing
Lear them in the same kind of soil, which
was missed, was found full of grubs, and
about half a teacupful of gum about the
roots. This is a cheap remedy and easily
obtained, and it would be well if many
persons would experiment with it upon a
few trees. In empirical compounds, which
consist of several articles. generally some
of them are inert. In the present mix
ture all, perhaps, may be active except the
sea gravel. doubt if ii is any more use
full in this case than it is upon the roofs of
houses.

Vaccination and ReyaecinatiOD.

The following statistics are probably the
most reliable and instructive of any of the
kind ever published, and are well worth
needing. From On official report made on
the subject. it appears that in the army of
Bavaria revaccination has been compul-
sorry since 1S43; and from that time until
1S57-a period of fourteen years, not sin
gle case of unmodified small pox occurred,
nor a single death from the disease. Of
the nearly $4,000 revaccinations in the
Prussian army only about one-third were
perfectly notwithstanding, that is,
the result of a primary vaccination so
closely as scarcely to be distinguished from
it.; and the remaining two-thirds being
more or less modifi ID or failing entirely.
In connection with these facts, the state
ment is also made that the distinguished
English vaccinators-Dr. Marson, in 4O, 900
vaccinations; DIR. Sveese, in as many more;
Sir VIM. Jenkins, in the cases of 13, 600
sick children and adults in London; and
DIR. West, of the Children's Hospital, as
to 900 children-all concur by saving
that they have never seen any other dis
ease than that of vaccination commune
eating with the vaccine.

In MeInOriaEl.

1t is with feeling of no common sad
ness that we pen the record of the death of
Mrs. Lottie P. Nicholson, wife of Prof.
Hunter Nicholson. Mrs. Nicholson was
the daughter of Col. Augustus Stone, of
Harmar, Ohio. Though comparatively a
greatly esteemed and beloved by circle of
friends who had been drawn around her,
by peculiar, unaffected kindliness man
iiested in all her intercourse. Early in
life follower of the Lord Jesus, her en-
tire course was that of CONSTANT Chris
tian. Her first connection with the church
of Christ, which was in her girlhoOd,
was in another visible commun-
ion than that in which she died. After
her marriage she came with her husband
into the Episcopal Church, with whose
enterprises of charity, she identified
herself to the full extent of her
opportunities. Begirt with a large
and growing family the later years
of her life were given up to this loving
and responsible charge, with all the
| warmth of a true WON ms heart in the
relations of wife and mother, Lessons of
holy truth she taught the dear little ones:
who are to know her tender care no more.
| They know how to pray, for this most
| important exercise for human creatures
| they learned at her knee.
When she came to die, she had no need
to leave rules to her husband in relation to
| her family, for, as she told her friends, she
could leave all that care to her Masters
ordering. One by one she called her dar-
lings to her side and gave them sweet
charges, which they will remember in
other days amid the associations that cluster
around the image of their dear departed;
and then she passed away, assuring her
| friends that death had lost its terrors.
Into the sacred sorrow of that smitten
| family group we will not intrude, but
| while rendering our fearful sympathy,
point them to that blessed home where
| the storms of Providence never sweep,
and where they will seek to meet the wife
and the mother in the Presence of Him
who is the resurrection and the life.

Second Lecture of the Course = "Noia.
ckucky Jack"

Second Lecture of the Course 'Noia'
ckucky jack
Last night the hall of the Board of Trade
was filed with ladies and gentlemen to
hear the second of the series of lectures an
nounced under the auspices of that associ-
alton. The lecturer of the evening, VIM,
A. Henderson, Esq. was introduced by
an hour and a half he held his audience in
the most wrapt attention, while in his

graceful, he portrayed in vivid colors the
stirring scenes in the life of Gov. John Sc
vier, farmiliarly known among the bor-
derers as ''Nolachucky jack"
Commencing with the earlier settlement
of the country, the lecturer took up the
history of Gov. Sewer at the time he was
the protege of the Royal Governor of Vir-
ginia, Lord Dunmore, when youth to
fame unknown" until the goal of his
ambition was reached, to his death, when
full of years and honors he passed away,
mourned by his friends and regretted by
his enemies.
The lecture was an able effort and was
replete with incidents of local and State
history of the most interesting nature and
was received with marked qualification,
by the large audience present.
At the conclusion of his remarks Mr..
Henderson was on motion of Rev. J. a.
Lyons requested to furnish copy of the
