Judge Bradley Speaks.

The New York Sun recen thy pub
lished a statement to the effect that
Associate Justice Brady. of the cleo
toral commission, after preparing a
written opinion in favor of the Til
den electors in the Florida case, and
submitting it to severl members of
the electoral commission, changed
his views during the night preceding
the vote in consequence of pressure
brought to bear upon him by repub-
lican politicians and Pacific railroad
men, whose carriages, it was alleged
surrounded his house during the
evening. Judge Bradley, in a letter
just published, gives an emphatic
contradiction to the Suns statement.
He says not a single visitor called at
his house on the evening in question
and that during the whole sitting si
the commission he had no private
discussion whatever with any person
interested on the republican side,
and but very few words with any
person and the allegation that che
read an opinion to Judges Clifford
and Field" he pronounces entirely
untrue. Judge Bradley protests that
he earnestly endeavored to come to
a right decision, free from all pnliti-
cal or other extraneous considera-
tions, and asserts that time has but
convinced him of the correctness of
his conclusions. Replying to Judge
Blacks recent intimation that the
case was decided in consequence of a
political conspiracy, Judge Bradley
ssys it is utterly devoid of truth, at
least so far as the commission is con-
cerned and he adds that the decencies
of public expression, ifnothing more
might we'll have deferred so able a
writer from making personal impu-
tations which he did not know to be
we'll founded"

The Governors at the Exhibition,

The late assembling ofinvited Gov
errors at the International Exhibit
ton of Philadelphia, together with
their most cordial endorsement of
its plan, scope and object, henceforth
places it under the auspices, as it
were, of or aOhoye nation. And this
is eminently proper, seeing that the
Exhibition, under the energetic di-
rection of its present sagacious man.
agement, is now and is destined still
more to be in the future, not only a
vast collection of varied attractions
but great school of instruction for
the entire American people as well
as a popular trademark and CONNER
cial emporium for merchants and
business men.
The Company now offer merchants
from every part of the country, near
and distant, facilities such as were
never before presented, for the exam
nation and comparison of all the
various styles and qualities of manu-
featured goods. A day or two spent
there before making his purchases
will enable the shrewd, intelligent
buyer to enter the market at great
advantage. Comfortable and appro-
pirate rooms are now fitted up as a
sort of commercial exchange, where
buyer and seller can meet-where
papers, samples, price lists, etc., can
be inspected and compared, and
where the stranger is invited to come
and at all times feel himself perfectly
at home.
The assertion is unhesitatingIy
made that this is the largest, grand
est, and most complete Exhibition
in the world. 1t unquestionably has
never in the worlds history had any
peer, except in the matchless Centen-
NAL, of whose wealth it is the natur-
al inheritor, and of which it is the
most worthy successor. No less than
thirty-eight States and Territories,
and all the principal foreign coun-
tries are represented in this immense
display, by two thousand exhibitors.
Not estimating the wonders of art
and nature which are slowed away
in Memorial and Horticultural Halls
which are attractive adjuncts to the
Exhibition proper, there are on dis
play no less than twenty-one acres of
varied and interesting exhibits, rep
resentinff every department of art,
science, eduction and industry.

ACCIDENT, Nd, Sept. II, 1877.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN There
seems to be a dearth of candidates for
the different positions to be filled at
the coming November election. Ger
tainly it cannot be because we have
not plenty and good material to
choose from. The trouble doubtless
is owing to an unwillingness to seek
Office on the part of those whom the
people would prefer in such connec-
tions.
Now, as an humble worker and
sincere friend of the Republican par
ty in Garrett, we most respectfully
submit that the proper course in the
premises to pursue, is for the men,
bers of our party to make known
through the columns of our most ex-
cellent paper, our wants and wishes,
and that any sincere member of the
party, who has the interest of the
party at heart, ought to consider it
his bounden duty to accept such office
when so rendered.
The good men of the party must
come to the front, or the bad will ;
and for honest upright men of the
county to hold politics in contempt
is simply to bring reproach upon pol
itics as natural consequence.
We respectfully suggest that we,
as party, call upon Mr.. B. We'll
FLEY, a gentlemen who, in every
respect, is well worthy of any Office
in our gift, to head our ticket for the
Senate. Mr.. Welfiey is gentleman
who does not desire Office, we are
we'll aware, but we sincerely hope
and trust that he will, for the good
of our party. agree to accept such
nomination if rendered, as we think
it will be, unanimously.
Very Respectfully,
REPUBLICAN.

Hon. Lloyd Lowndes, Col. Charles
Gilpen and Col. Henry J. Johnson,
of Cumberland, waited on President
Hayes last Saturday and invited him
ia visit Cumberland on his projected
visit to Marietta, Ohio, last week.
The President was obliged to decline
the invitation, but promised to make
a special visit there hereafter. He
said he had very pleasant recollec-
tions of the city and its people during
his army sojourn there. A date pre-.
vious to the meeting of Congress,
October Is, will be fixed upon for the
presidential visit to Cumberland, and
while there the President will be the
guest of Hon. Lloyd Lowndes, where
he will hold reception.

The New York Tribune, in the fol-
lowing extract, shows to what straits
we have been reduced by the penny
wise and poundfooIish action of the
late House OF Representatives in cut
ting down the appropriation for the
Army. If General Banning and his
colleagues could only be sent to the
front to fight the Indians for while
they might gather together, in such
campaign, sufficient common sense
to prevent them repeating the mis-
chief they did at the last Congress.
1.-THE War Department had great
difficulty in gathering a sufficient
force in Idaho to pursue Chief Joseph
and his handful of savages. 1t was
obliged to strip the slender garrisons
in Arizona, and send men nearly
5000 miles around by San Francisco
and Portland, and with all its efforts
it did not succeed in getting on the
ground half the troops needed to
make speedy end to the war. Now
comes the news that Sitting Bull,
with 300 warriors, has left the shell
ter of British territory, and is NOV
ing down to join Joseph in Montana
1t is fine commentary on the
system provided by Congress that a
savage chief in blanket and breech-
clout can put more fighting men in
the field than the United States Gov.
eminent can bring against him. The
first work which Congressmens should
address themselves to when they come
together next month is to take ample
appropriations for the army, and to
lodge in the hands of the President
discretionary power to increase tenn
porarily its effective strength when
necessity requires. A nation of forty
millions of people, whose authority
can be defied by mobs of rioters in
the East and by few hundred
sayages in the West, is a spectacle
for gods and men,"

A little courage and hopefulness
should now be countenanced by the
press and public opinion. What if
we do hear of bank panics and heavy
failures. These should be considered
quite apart from the present hopeful
aspect of affairs. They belong to an
unwholesome state of things that
existed in the past. We are rich in
all natural products, and the world
is willing to pay literally for our
surplus of corn, cotton and petroleum.
Let us have no more croaking. There
will be many set-backs on our road
to prosperity and some partial panics
but on the whole the prospect is that
from now to next summer we shall
have a steadily increasing business

Congressman William Lawrence
predictsa Republican victory in Ohio
for several reasons, including the re-

of business men and manufacturers
at the initiation utterances of Pendle-
ton and Ewing, and the satisfaction
of the Republican workingmen with

A very pertinent question we
would like to have answered Just
now-if the Republican party has
brought ruin on the labor of the
country, why is it that the laboring
men of Maryland do not prosper
under Democratic rule? If Republi-
can rule brings ruin in one section
why does not Democratic rule bring
prosperity in another? What politi-
cal economist will crack this nut?

The Revival of Trade.

The prospects oftrade now seem to
be the absorbing theme among all
classes in every section, and pleasant
to dwell upon, since all agree that
the turn made presents most favor
able showing. The New York EUen-
ing Post, most excellent authority
on trade subjects, in its financial art
icle yesterday, comments as follows:
The trade reports from the princi-
pal trade centres of the West and
South, particularly the West are
most encouraging, some of these
speak Of the business of the past ten
days as the largest ever known for
the same length of time. Trade in
New York and the Eastern cities.
while it falls short of the extraordi-
nary reports from the West, is never
theless much better that in any pre-
vious season since 1873. All this is
the natural result Of the large crops,
with the accompanying fact that
there is and probably will continue
to be an unusually good foreign
market for the exportable surplus of
the food products of this year.
This general revival of trade must
inevitable give employment either
directly or indirectly to very large
amount of money which in the past
four years has sought shelter in
securities or has been held in hand
to lend from day to day on demand
at the money centres of the country,
especially New York. No incon-
siderable amount of the money which
has been placed in corporate secur-
tiles, because they were thought to
be safe and convenient refuge, has
been lost to the owners, and the dis
closures of corporate mismanage-
ment have been such during the last
two years that it is not strange that
there is a very general disposition
among substantial people to get their
money again within their own per-
sonal control, and to use it by avail
ing of such opportunities as are with
in their personal observation. The
enormous shrinkage of values since
the panic has brought bargains with
in the reach of almost every person
with money in every town in the
country. 1t is no unusual thing for
improved real estate held before the
panic of 1873 at say $40, 900 and which
pays an annual rent of 1000 to ST.
200, even in the present time, to be
sold now for $4,000. We could cite
many instances of this kind within
our own knowledge out of New York
as well as here, where taxation is so
heavy.
If it be true, as we believe it is that
the country has turned the corner,
so to speak and is on the road to i'm
proving values and prosperity every
thing that money will buy must
share in the improvement. With the
widespread distrust Of corporate
and with the uncer-
which overhang the future
Of railroads, including legislative in
it is not strange therefore
that many prudent people are with
drawing their money from railroad
shares, which for so many years
were the favorite Investments in this

this city as one of the counsel in the

in published interview, is quoted
in answer to the qestion of what he
thought about the policy of Presi-
dent Hayes: 81 thank God for it.
He has disposed of the only obstacle
that stood between the suffering
South and the full enjoyment of her
constitutional liberties. He has not
only carried out the Democratic
policy, but he has carried the Re-
publicans with him. | think he has
the cordial support Of fully seventy
five per cent, of this party. Many
who were doubtful at first now see
that the time was ripe for the full
restoration of every southern State
to self-government under the Con-
stitution. The history of the States
since the troops were removed is one.
of the very best arguments why Re-
p ublicans and Democrats should ap-
prove Mr.. Hayes policy on this

EGGS.

Their Value as an Article Of Diet.
There is no article Of food more whole
some and nutritious than that supplied
by eggs. There is difference in their
flavor and quality owing to the difference
in the diet of the birds; yet there are
no eggs of winged creatures which are
unfit for nourishing the human body.
Their chemical composition is the same,
for the white and yelk are almost invari-
bly, present; and these consist, in the
first place, of albumen and water. Eggs
require for digestion as much time as
mutton-that is, from three to four hours.
They are most readily digested when
boiled until the white becomes partially
consolidated.
An ordinary hens egg weighs from
one and half to two ounces; ducks
egg from two to three ounces; the egg
from the sea,gull and the turkey from
three to four ounces, and the egg of the
goose from four to six ounces. The
solid matter and the oil in the ducks
egg exceed those in a hens egg by
about one-fourth. According to DIR.
Edward Smith, in his treastise on
Foods" an egg weighing an ounce and
three quarters consists Of 12O grains OF
carbon and 1Sa grains of nitrogen, or
Is. 25 per cent. of carbon and per cent.
of nitrogen.
A writer in the Scientific Farmer
estimates that the value of .one pound
4 of eggs as food for sustaining the active
e forces of the body is to the value OF one
t hound of lean beef as 1854 to $50. AS
t flesh producer one pound Of eggs IS
q about equal to pound of beef.
o A hen may be calculated to consume
: one bushel of corn yearly, and to lay
d twelve dozen or eighteen pounds of
= eggs. This is equivalent to saying that
o three and one-tenth pounds OF corn will
vt produce, when fed to a hen, one pound
n of eggs. A pound Of pork, on the con-
trary, requires about five and one-third
<, pounds of corn for its production.
D. When eggs are twenty.four cents dozen
At and pork at ten cents a pound. We have
ie busnel of corn fed producing two dol
a, lars and lightweight cents worth OF egg
I'd and one dollar and five cents of pork.
al Judging from these facts, eggs must
ne be economical in their production and il
Ill their eating, and especially fitted for tn
De laboring man in replacing meat.
