NJ. Woleslagle Il Son, of Wilmore, Mrs. Prin-
gle, of Portage, and also at n store at Lilly's
station, this county, and upon whose person

Court at Pittsburgh on Saturday last; Adam
T. King and Adam Leck, two more members
of what is known as the Mar,iis gang, were

day following, and on Tuesday Scott Mardis
who was not only the acknowledged chief of
the hand which had been operating in this

Clearfield, but was an extensive manufact-
urer and Wholesale dealer in the queer
met with n like fate, aud will no doubt re-
cefve !he sevetest penalty Of the law. None
OF the parties named have yet been sentenced
Mr. WIN. A. Jones, n former weliknown
and much respected citizen OF this place, bnt
who for the past three years or more has
uale his home in North Caroiiua, turned up
among his friends here a few days ago and
is yet believe in our midst, though lie
intends ere long to take up his residence in
Clearfeld county, if all goes well. Mr.. Jones
left this place thorough and uncompromis-
ing Republican, but having witnessed the
workings of carpet-hag rule down South and
become disgnsted with the ''true inward
ness of Republican politics in that section,
he like an honest man "a he is, could not but
turn his BACK upon MS on party anu array
himself on the side of Democracy, the only
true safeguard of the nation, as his expert
ence has abundautly taught him TO believe.
Mr.. Jones has our best wishes for the future
welfare and happiness of himself and his
excellent young wife.
The vote of the Republicans of Blair
county, on the day of the township and bor-
ough elections, for and against the Crawford
comfy system of making nominations for
county officers was warmly contested. We
have failed 10 i'm any of the Altoona pa
pers a full report of the vote in the county
on the question, but we conclude from brief
.nal item. i'm the last Hollidaysburg Standard
that the system was carried Ivy the meagre
majority of nine votes. Altoona settled the
question by declaring IN favor of its ador-
ton by a majority of almost 300. The sys-
TEN is honest in theory, but false and fraud
uient in practice, and in nearly every county
in .he State in which il has been tried it has
been pronounced a failure. The present
delegate system is bad enough, but the
Craw ford county plan is infinitely worse.
