srvLIsH.--A seal skin jacket is no doubt,
very stylish. but is perfect trap for catching
cold. We would advise all ladies' wearing
tho same to keep Dr. Bulls Cough Syrup
handy. Price IS cents.
The Fourth Congressional District Repub-
lican Convention will be held at Phillipsburg,
Warren county, probably about the 10Th OF
September. General Fitzpatrick will most
likely be the Republican candidate. az senfi--
ment seems to be drifting to that direction.
A. Washington correspondent of the New
York Times gives an alarming statement of
the large Number of rebel claims. and OF bills
and joint resolutions designed to iegalze
their consideration aud to facilitate their pay
nents now pending before Congress- and
awaiting the election of Democratic Presi=
dent to be pushed to a successful issue.
RENouNcrNe THE BOURBON FAIrH.-The
Southern Indiana Republicans are much en-.
couraged by prominent converts made from
the Democracy in New Albany. Recently,
the Hon. w. G. Depanaw, proprietor Of the
Depanaw American Plate Glass Works 10
that city, and his sons, Newlaud T. and
Charles Depanaw, all heretofore strong Dem.
ocrats, have openly declared for Garfield and
Arthur and Porter and the Republican State
ticket. At the Depanaw American Glass
Works Garfield Club, to be composed of rs
ex-Democrats, is being organized Penn was
lately a Democratic Councilman. Three sons
of the late Hon. John s. Davis, Judge of the
Circuit Court, and noted Democratic poll
tician, have declared for Garfield and Arthur,
and also for Porter. Mr.. David G.. Hudson,
heretofore an earnest Democrat and an enter.
prising business man, declares for Garfield
and Porter. DIR. Elijah Newland, formerly
Democratic Treasurer of State for Indiana,
and lifelong Democrat. is out for Porter and
the Republican State ticket, as we'll as for
Garfield. The feelings against Landers among
the Democrats is bitter. The New Albany
Ledger Standard, the leading Democratic
daily in the southern part of the State, con-
tinues to do all it can to secure his defeat.
PENsroNINe Rebel. SOLDIERS The Phila.
Record takes the Phia Press to task for sug-
costing that the Graybacks see in Hancock's
election thespossbility of sharing in the Gov
eminent pensions now enjoyed exclusively by
the loyal portion of the soldiers of the late
war. Those who entertain the apprehension
that the rebel soldiers would be put on the
pension rolls the Record weuld regard as
phenomenally credulous persons" Any
one who had predicted in 1866 that in less
than fifteen years the very element defeated
on the battle field, disheartened, demoralzed
and impoverished by the war; would be in
supreme control at the National Capital would
have been then regarded as considerably off
his reckoning, to say the least. They domin-
ate both the Senate and the House. They
hold the Chairmanships of all the important
Committees and have majority in the Dem
ocratic caucus of each Committee. They sig
nalized their assumption of control IN Con-
gress by turning out the Union soldiers who
were employed in and about the Capitol in
any capacity and placing ex- Confederate
soldiers in their places. This fact is notorious
and cannot be gainsayed. On what principle
are we to argue that ifthey acquire wider
control they will be any more considerate Of
the claims Of Union soldiers?
1t was but a little over a year ago that
General Butler, now full Acdged Democrat,
proposed on the floor of Congress to admit
rebel soldiers to the pension list. We are
credulous enough to believe that in the case
of Democratic success the same proposition is
likely to be made again and insisted upon
by those who are in a position to make their
will law. Any other course would be utterly
inconsistent with all their previous record.
Is il reasonable to suppose that with the ex-
rebels in control of the national purse-strings
they are going to cheerfully vote pensions to
Northern soldiers, while their own men, whom
they led to battle, and who in turn sent them
To Congress- have their services unrecognized
and their necessities unraleyed?
REPUBLICAN RALLY IN NEwARK.-The
Grand Opera House in Newark, was packed
with enthusiastic Republicans Friday evening
at the formal opening of the Republican cam
paign in Newark. Senator Potts. the Re-
publican candidate for Governor, it bad been
announced, was to be present. The stage
was oompactly filed with representative citi-
zens, many of them being leading manufac-
turers of Newark. Mr.. Potts arrived at the
Park House in Newark shortly after 5 p. NJ,
and between that hour and O'Clock there
was a constant stream of visitors who heartily
welcomed him. An artillery company sta
toned in Military Park fired sautes at inter-
walls. At o'clock Mr.. Potts was escorted to
the Opera House. In the galleries were seat
ed many ladies and the Republican Singing
Club of over fifty voices. Shortly after 8
o'clock, William Stainsby, chairman of the
city Republican Committee, opened the meet
ing with stirring speech, which was inter-
ruptcd by the entrance of Mr.. Potts and ex-
Senator Frelinghuysen. Immediately the
audience rose and greeted Mr.. Potts with wild
cheering, the waving of hats and handker-
chiefs and other demonstrations. Mr.. Potts
bowed and sat down, whereupon Chairman
Stainsby proposed three cheers for the candi-
date, which were prolonged several minutes.
Cheers were also given for Mr. Frelinghuysen
The chairman proposed as permanent chair
man OF the meeting, T. t. Kinney. who took
the scat after making few remarks. lie
then introduced Mr.. Potts, who was greeted
with unbounded applause. Mr.. Potts took
up the points which be discussed the previous
evening at the mass meeting in Jersey City,
and elaborated them simply as statement Of
his views upon pending questions.
Ex-senator Frelinghuysen was the next
speaker, and his address was listened to with
the deepest attention. Mr.. Frelinghuysen
retired amid tumutuous cheering While he
was speaking a second meeting was organized
on the street in front Of the Opera House,
where several speakers addressed over two
thousand men. At nine o'clock the various
Republican clubs arrived numbering over
three thousand members, and their torches
lighted up the street with broad glare!
When the meeting was dismissed the chief
organizations fell in line and escorted Mr..
Potts and his party to the Park House, where
a sefepade was rendered to Mr.. Potts. Mill
tary Park in front of the hotel was literally a
sea Of human beings, and every sentiment ut
tered by the speakers was cbeered to tho echo.
After the serenade the clubs marched to their
different headquarters, most Of them singing
campaign songs.
