The Presidential Lookout for Gov
ernor Hartranft is Good,

Governor Hartranft has not only
been endorsed by the Republicans Of
this Sfate, in State Convention assem-
bled, fer the Presidency next fall, but
Republicans in other States have ex-
pressed preference for him. Recent
ly a writer in the New York Tribune
says of him as candidate
ga very important movement is now
being discussed by the Republicans of
Pennsylvania. 1t las for its OBJ
ject the bringing forward of Governor
Hartranft as candidate for the Presi-
Dental nomluation-not to receive the
complimentary vote of the Pennsylva
MIA delegation On the first ballot and
then to be set aside, but to struggle
with the strong contestants for the
prize.
When such men as Conkiing,
HAYES, y asl,burn and Morton are ad-
vanced as statemen for the emergency,
the friends of Governor Hsrtranft do
not see why be should be backward
about entering the lists. Think nis
claims on the score Of both record and
availability are superior to those of
either of the candidates named. He
has carried Pennsylvania at four cleo
tions, twice at the head of bis ticket as
Auditor General, and twice as Cover
nor. Two Of these elections-those Of
1868 and lS12-weIe fercely contest
ed, and his victory determined the issue
of the Presidential canvass then iD pro-
ersss. He has made the State trust
worthily Republican, as it never was
before his eutry into politics.
" As far as can bc learned, all the
Republican politicians of any account
in the State are favorable to the pro-
ject, and there appears to be no good
reason why it should not have as fair
a chance of succeeding as any other
Presidential scheme now on the carpet.
A great deal might be said in favor of
Governor Hartrauft as an available
candidate. He has most of General
Grants good qualities he is quiet,
reticent, unaffected, averse to speech
making, firm in his opinions, true in his
friendship, aud imnovable when he has
once made up his mind. He has never
regarded his office as something belong.
ing to him personally. On the contra
ry, throughout his whole Official career
be has manifested a strong sense of his
duty and responsibility to the State,
and has thus won the praise Of all
parties for his conscientious aud Impair
tlal administration. To have made a
good Governor of great State like
Pennsylvania is as strong recommen-
datiun as q uan can have for the Pres
idency.
In Pennsylvania, as in New York,
the right performance of the duties of
the Executive Office requires admins
trative abilities of high order. If
military reputation is to count for any
thing in the coming canvass Gen. Hart
ranft has an army record unexcelled by
that of any volunteer officer"
The Presidential lookout for Cover
nor Hartranft is coed.

Beasts.

There is man in Congress named
S. S. Cox, who represents Democratic
district ir New York city. The Dem
ocrass in Congress all laugh when Cox
says something, because, say they, Cox
is witty. He says such witty things.
His reputation is based on such sayings
as 'Blaine, you are hyena." Blaine,
you a.e pup" and others of a similar
blsckguardish nature.
IL the employment of such language
is wit, the country fails to see IT, TIE
Interpretation of the country is that it is
blackguardism, and when Cox employs
it in the public halls of the nation they
see in him bold, impudent representa-
tive of class who scarcely ever use
such language in public, reserving i,
for use in their baunts or places Of re-
sort. When men cheer Cox for his
blackguardism and call it wit, they pro-
claim their own coarse propensities and
coarse cultivation. Cox was rebel
sympathizer, and bis late linguistic as
sault on Blaine tells how completely
his lnwardness accords with the coarse
rebe, element that now rules the Lower
House. They are the beasts.
When they approach men with eour-
tesy and anything like refinement, in a
majority of cases it is lechery or
covetousness that lies at the bottom of
their better manners. Hyenas indeed
are the men who maintained a sys-
TEN, and are now struggling for its res
toration, that prostituted the church I;
that compelled the ministry to declare
the marriage relations sacred, divine,
Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1876-02-09

and to support from the pulpit laws
that annulled the marriage relations.
Pups, dogs are the men who induIged in
lecherous practices aud sold their own
offspring on tie slaveholders' austion-
block.
1t is too bad that the country must
be constantly taunted by the apolocists
of Southern debauchery- The minor
ity in Congress represent all the ele-
men:s Of the Republic that is worth
preserving for a republican form Of
government. The country is getting
tired of hearing the moral lepers Of the
South taunt them constantly. They
are the beasts. Let the minority, or
some men in Congress who represent it,
proclaim THEN debauchery, and they
will cease their shouts Of dogs, hyenas
and beasts. Let 1t be done this session.

Which Sunday 2

"Every civilized nation of the world
will take part in the Centennial Expo
sition. The commission have deter
mined to close it ON the Sabbath that
is on Sunday, the Sabbath of the Chris
tiaus. Ii the close ii on the Sabbath
of every nation represented there and
why should the nations be shocked in
their moral sense by failure to do so ,
it will always be closed. For the
Greeks they will close it on Monday !;
for the Persians on Tuesday; for the
Assyrians on Wednesday for the
Egyptians on Thursday for the Turks,
the Arabs, and all Mobammedan nations
on Friday for the Jews and Seventh.
day Baptists on Saturday, and for Chris
tians they will close it on Sunday
Erchange paper.
The difficulty Of &c Which Sunday"
to which the exchange paper refers,
perhaps is not 50 great as imagined. 1t
recognizes the fact that all peoples have
day from abstinence from worldly
pursuits and pleasures. All people
who come here can observe their recog-
nized day, just as Americans can OBJ
serve their Sunday in any part of the
civilized world. The Sunday laws are
such in this country that all people
must observe them or fall under the
bane of the law. When they observe
our Sunday they fulfill the law, and after
that they may close business as often
as they please, and observe as many
Sundays as they choose. Ii the Expo
si,icn we're held in Egypt, Americans
would observe the Egyptian day, as far
as the laws required, and when their
own came around they would observe it,
while in all probability the Egyptians
would pay no attention to It whatever.
So with the foreign people who come
here They will observe our Sunday
laws, as We do. They will observe
their own Sabbath laws, while We will
pay no attoLtion to them further than
that they shall be respected in their
right to worship according to the die
tates of conscience and their religious
belief.

The Storm of Last Wednesday.

The storm that commenced last
Wednesday was the most wide spread
that has prevailed within many years
In the Centennial Grounds at Phila.
delphia, the New York State building
is entirely down. Ruloff's hotel also
went down, a watchwan beng over
wheimed In the ruins, but, strange 20
say, escaping unlpjured. Six towers
on Agricultural Hall went down in the
gale, breaking through the roof aud
smashing things generally. The roof
of Machinery Hall was damaged and a
small portion of it blown off. The
framework of the French restaurant
was blown down, and the Japanese
building severely shaken. This struc-
ture would probably have been wreck
ed had not the Japanese workpen,
when the storm began, gone to work
and braced things up. 1t was feared
that the women's building would also
be blown down, as it swayed and groan-
ed in very dangerous manner. In
the city much damage was done oy the
gale, chlmneys, roofs, ventiIators, &C.,
being blown away, while about dozen
buildings, some of them in course OF
construction, were completely demol-
ished. No estimate of the damage
has been made, but the aggregate loss
will reach many thousands of dollars.
TRENTON, N. 1.-The gale was the
severest of many years, and did great
damage TO property, unroo6ng build
ings, blowing down chimneys, telegraph
poles, &c. Much damage was done at
Paterson. Two new houses, the tower
of Willis street Baptist church, chim-
peys, poles and fences we're blown
down.

this region. The highest velocity at
tanned by the wind was sixty-six miles
an hour. Fortunately shipping In the
hsrbor suetained but triAing damage.
Even In the city the damage has not
been-so great as was spprehended, but
the suburbs have suffered severely. In
this city the storm signals we're blown
from the flag poles. Pedestrianism
was almost impossible, and many per-

brown stone house was carried off and
deposited IN the back yard. Five
frame fouses were blown down. An

stoned by the gale, which was one of
the fercest, perhaps, ever experienced
in this vicinity.
The tower of the Metropolitan Meth
odist church was blown several feet
from its perpendicular, attracting large
crowds either to see it fall or drawn in-
to place. Many persons were awaken
ed from sleep, and in order to escape
apprehended danger descended to the
lower rooms os their dwellings.
CINCINNAu-A special dispatch
from Nonnt Vernon, Ind, says sbout
dozen Buildings and one school house
were swept away in the inundated river

JEFF DAVIS is out in an article in
reply to the charges of cruelty at An
dersonville. Once there was a French
man who wrote a pamphlet to prove
that be had no existence The most
consistent thing now for JEFF Davis to
do is, not to write on the subject that
the Frenchman took, but to write an
article to prove that Southern Rebel
lion never existed. If be can get peo-
pie TO believe that, the Andersonville
question falls to the ground. The
crimes of Davis and his confederates
are like Bapquo's ghost they will not
down, and the more you will the less
they 60 down.

LANDIs,l who killed Carruth. the
Vineland editor, for abusing Lands and
family, has been acquitted on the ground
of insanity. Perhaps it was wrong to
shoot Carruth quite as hard as he was
shot, but he was one of a scurrilous
class of men who here aud there have
got into the newspaper business. They
always do harm, both to themselves and
those around them.

The sum of it is that in his opinion,
formed from "facts and evidence" pre-
sented to him, Rev. Henry Ward
Beeeher is guilty of unlawful love in
tercourse with Mrs. Tilton. 10 the un-
trained reader Boweo's document may

carries little weight it is only an opin-
,on, without evidence to support it
When Mr.. Bowen gives the reasons for
arriving at such an opinion, his docu-
ment will be worth more or less than il
is now. 1t is of little Importance now.
