The editor of the Remove Record
publishes q neutral paper, but remarks
as thcro is no "turkcy" for tho Re-
publicans, in the way our districts have
been formed, it would bo just and
proper to designate whom the Demo
Gratis should nominate, and ho hopes
that his suggestions will not prove Of
fensive to the Democrats, as he will
propose mono but first class men for
the several positions, viz:
"For Congress, Hon. L. A. Maekcy, of Lock
Haven, who will very likely be the choice Of all
the counties in this Congressional district, with
out opposition. For Associate Law Judge, Judge
0rvis, of Centre county, will be the choice. Clear
field will como in then for State Senator and Hon
VIM. A. Wallace, cur present representative, will
likely receive denomination.
The third section of this ticket we
accept without hesitation. What Mr..
Wallace's feelings are upon the sub.
jcct, we know not. But We have il
from the lips of three. .fourths of his
Democratic colleagues in the Senate,
besides numbers of leading Democrats
all over the State that his return
to the Senate for at least the fractional
term of two years is very desirable, SC
as to enable him TO complete the huge
work he undertook last session, of ad.
justing the corporate and business in
terests Of the State to the now Con.
stitution.
Even Radical Senators, who love
the State more than their party, and
prefer general to special legislation
and are opposed to corruption, ask fol
Mr.. Wallace's return, and we arc
greatly mistaken if a large majority
Of both parties in this Senatorial dis
trict are not in favor of returning him
to his seat, which he has SO ably and
honorably filled for the past twelve
years. Our Democratic friends in
Centre and Clinton cannot entrusi
their legislation to an abler or more
willing and upright representative
than Mr.. Wallace.

There are some of tho opinion that

the Constitution provides that tho
term of the County Commissioners

1876, (which shall not have expired
before the first Monday of 1876, shall
expire on that day" Hence, the term
of the Commissioner elected this fall

in the fall of 1875 three Commissioners

DEATH OF A NOBLE MAN.--John
Edgar Thomson, President of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, died
ut his residence in Philadelphia on
Wednesday night, in his Goth year
The State has lost an eminent and
useful citizen and the railroad its chief
and safest officer All the stations
along the line of the road and the cars
were draped in mourning on Thursday.
The financial embarrassment which
ovcrhangs the whole country no doubt
FASTENED Mr.. Thomson's death. The
September crash is doing slow butsure
work, and by tho time one year rolls
around "tho Christian Bankers" can
count their innocent victims by scores,
while not a single one Of the leading

EVIDENTLY A BLUNDER. The Pitts

following:

result in much good to the govern

A Goddess CoURT.-A fortnight ago,
number of female and male crusaders
were arrested by tho municipal au-
thorites of Pittsburgh, for disturbing
the public peace. The valorous ladies
and modest gentlemen refused to give
bail, and were consequently trans
formedirto martyrs, by allowing them
selves TO bc imprisoned The result
was habeds corpus, and tho parties
~werc taken into Court and hearing
was had before Judge Stowe, who, for
the sake of the ladies, released the
prisoners. This greatly clatcd the
crusaders, and they at once proposed
to hold q prayer meeting in the court
room, returning thanks 30 God and
tho court for their delivcrance. His
honor, being informed of what was
contemplated, informed the parties
that If they opened prayer meeting
in the court room he would have every
one of them sent to prison for "Con-
tempt Of Court" This hint from his
honor nonpluscd tho ladies' and thoir
male allies, who at once gathered
themselves up and made for the Meth
odist church where they organized q
monster prayer meeting, and gave the
municipal authorities and the liquol
