TIE CONING CAMPAIGN.

All over the State the political pot
is beginning TO simmer and in short
time will be boiling In few coun-
ties nominations have already been
made, but most Of the local tickets
will be in the field untilnear tho close
of next month. Then both parties
will also hold their State Conventions
and any exciting campaign will open.
TheT Democrats are most hopeful
and confidently expect to carry the
State. Only the most gross blunder
ing can prevent the complete triumph
of the party opposed to extravaganza
and corruption in the administration
of public affairs. The people seem at
least to have had their eyes opened to
the necessity of transferring political
power to other hands than those who
now hold the reins of government
That the change may be thorough
and complete in 1876, they find it i'm
peratively necessary to commence the
work of reform at once. To this end
the Democratic press is urging the
most careful selection of candidates,
not only those for State offices but
also for all local positions of honor or
trust. Indeed, this is the only way
that success can be assured and where
ever this good advice is disregarded
and weak, incapable, dishonest, untrust-
worthy selections are made, defeat and
disaster win be sure to follow. We are
glad to see our party press thus boldly
pointing out the course that will lead
TO success and rs fearlcssly remonstrat-
ing against nominations "not fit TO be
made No one should be permitted
TO 20 on ticket that win weaken it.
The success Of the party is far above
the special claims of any aspirant to
party favor. Personal considerations
should also in all eases be east aside and
the strongest and best man only put
forward TO carry the party's banner.
This done in every county, Pennsylva-
mia will be redeemed from Radical mis-
rule and the good old times of economy,
honesty and good government soon
restorcd.-PeTy County Democrat.

That transportation charges upon

the fact of decrease Of 1854, ,7i6 bush

THE NEW OATH

As candidates for Office and their
friends were often charged with sins
Of ommission and commission, under
the old Constitution, il would bc well
enough to take look at the new.fan-
damental law of the State. The oath
to be Administered TO all officers in the
future, and whichAi il Incorporated in
the document Indicated, reads thus:
~ do solemnly swear Tor aiirm) that will sup
port, obey and defend tho constitution Of thu
United States, and tho con stitution Of thie com
monwcalth, and that will discharge tho duties
OF my Office with fidelity that nave not paid or
contributed, or promised TO pay or contribute,
either directly or indirectly, any money or other
valuable thing, TO procure my nomination or eloc-
tion Tor appointmcnt)i that have not knowingly
violated any election law Of this commonwealth, b,
or procured II TO be done In my behalf; that
will not knowingly receive, directly or indirectly,
any money or other valuable thing for the per-
formnncc Of any act or duty pertaining TO my Of
dee other than tho compensation allowed by law"
That is u very plain oath andif there
is no perjury committed under il, can
didatcs and the officers elect must de-
port themselves very circumspeclly in
the future. Integrity and fee bills are
pretty well fenced in by this constitu-
tional clause, and IL "hard swearing
will make good officers, we will cor
tainly have them in the future.

Canton and Vicksburg Railroad,
about eleven miles southwest of
Canton, made good their escape,
but two of the fugitives we've after
wards recaptured near Madison

escape was effected by playing sick
and being left alone. The door OF
the prison room was opened by {,

them. 1t is thought the others will
be recaptured.
