Remarks Of Hon. J. M. Kirkpatrick, of the
 Council. Pending Action C. B. No. 2.
 Jan. 23. ". ". Weed, Photographer.
 MR. PREsIDENT-.I desire 10 say few words in regard to the propriety and neces- sty of enacting a law of this kind. In the first place, it IS we'll known fact that our counties are very large and certainly, sir, it would De cOnferring very great iavor upon the miners to enact a law whereby they might be empowered to keep their own records. IL is something that they have beenin the habit of doing, and there can, it seems to me, be no good objection to their making their own laws and keeping their own records The object of the bill is to legalize their action in keeping their own district records. It is certainly great inconvenience for the miner or prospector to come hundred and seventy or hun drcd and seventy five mics to the county seat 10 record his location. The district records are just as good and valid when kept in the district as are the records when kept in the County Recorders office. l, for one as an Olu miner, am perfectly will
 ing 10 rest this privilege with the mIners knowing, as l do, that they are men of as much intelligence ana integrity as any other class of men We have in our They know their rights. and will protect them, nor will they do anything .. in conflict with the laws of the United States.n Therefore, ia justice to the miners oT the Territory Hf ArlzoRe, I say that this measure should become a law. There may possibly, from a nasty view, be some obiec- llon to that clause of the bill which makes the Recorder responsible, and it may be said that he should give bonds; but, in my experience, I have never known of Dis trict Recorder giving bonds, and in no case have l known any uoublo to grow out of any neglect Of duty, or from not gi.ing bonds. but have known of instances where there vas difficulty with county records, All the miners have tgiked with are will ing tc rest the natter in their own conduct, and they will take care of themselves no ioubt I trust, MT. President and gentle men. that this measure will become a law

State Convention.

The Republican State Convention
met at Harrisburg on Wednesday,
July %, 1879, and organized by
electing Hon. Galusha A. Grow, Per-
manent Chairman. The convention
was a model of harmony throughout,
probably more so than any that has
met for many years. Hon. Samuel
Butler, Of Chester County, was, by
acclamation nominated for State
Treasurer. The new State Committee
was appointed, and Col. Frank c..
Hooten elected Chairman of the same.
Sheriff c. A. Randall, Of this place,
was appointed the member from Forest
County. The platform, which we
publish below, is a document which
will at once commend itself to the
honest voters of the keystone State
and needs no eulogy from us:
ResOIued. l. That the Republican
party, again forced to stand forward
for the defense of human rights, after
a struggle lasting through a genera,
ton, finds itself confronted by the
same foes Of Federal unity, political
freedom, and national honor, which il
has so often overthrow in civil con,
tests and in armed conflict.
2. That we appeal to the Union.lov
ing people of Pennsylvania to arrest
by their votes, the mad career Of the
Democratic party, which insists upon
placing the National Government
under the domination Of men who but

Jes' so! Uncle John. Well, it is
hardly worth while, and in fact we
nave not the time or space at present
to enter into detailed account of the
financial condition of this nation, but
II you will take the trouble to look
the matter up little you will find
that at the close of the war, in 1865,
the country had an interest. bearing
debt of 1881 ,53O,294,76, the annual
interest charge Of which was, in round
numbers, nearly $151 100000. Di.
vide this amount by 35,OO0,00O, the
estimated number of inhabitants of
the United States at that time, and
you have $A31 per capita; which is a
little more, in fact, than we made it
before. The annual interest CHARGE
OF the present interest. bearing indebt.
edness is, in round numbers, according
to the official statement CT the Treasury
Department $83,0OO,OOO. Divide this
by 48,OOO,O00, the estimated popula.
tlOn of the United States at present,
and you have Sl.69 per capita. These
figures are taken from the official
statement of the Treasury Depart,
ment, and although we give them in
round numbers, they will not vary
moro than a cent or two. We think
we have proven our assertions correct
and we hope our old friend and patron
Is convinced, and ifso, why of course
we shall expect him to cast his ballot
with us next fall.
