IMPORTANT TO THE CIGAR TRADE.

IMPORTANT TO THE CIGAR TRADE.
We have recently had our attention called
TO new and important improvement in the
manufacture OF cigars, and as it is one that is
clearly destined to revolutionize the cigar bust

patcntees. The invention was patented May
IA, 1878, by Messrs. j. & A. Frey. These
gentlemen have had many years experience
IN the cigar business. The cigars are made
principally of the very best seed and Havana
tooaecos, with closed tucks, and amongst the
advantages they possess over all other cigars
may be mentioned: A positive retention OF
the aroma Of the f1ller-its loss by evaporation
helng impossible. A better, quicker and en-
hrely round light; and they will not break
when carried in the pocket. These are advan-
tages which will be recognized by every
smoker as being OF the greatest importance.
IN short, it m y be said that Messrs. j. & A.
Frey have made very decided hit with their
new idea. No one can properly realize the deli
cacy OF the flavor and aroma of cigar made
IN this way until he makes a personal trial,
ana this we advise our readers, whether in
me hade or not, to do. Even in the appear
auee OF the cigar there is something novel and
attractive, the small, neat twist, which secures
una iasiens the whole, being q decided i'm

SINCE the extraordinary and uncon-

late Grant administration 10 repress
local selfgovernment in the States,
nothing has transpired in public af-
fairs that shows more clearly and con-
clusively the centralizing tendencies
of Republican rule than the recent
decision Of the Supreme Court Of the
United States, affirming the constitu-
tionality of the Federal election laws.
Under these decisions, not made with
out stern and unanswcrable protests
against the assumptions of the major
ity of the court from Justices Field
and Clifford, the central government
can arrogate to itself the right to try,
convict and punish State election
officers in the Courts of the United
States for violations of State election
laws without the slightest regard to
the Jurisdiction of State Courts in the
same matters. This is big stride to-
wards the consolidation of all power
in one great central government ut

the constitution in favor of the States
and the people. The people will have

of the puddlers for sc instead of $3.50

the way of resumption Of work.

THE Supreme Court of the United
States have affirmed the constitution
ality of the Federal election laws.
Justice Joe Bradley is again to the
fore, and is equal to the role assigned
him in his appointment as a partisan
Judge. The Washington Post refer
ing to this convenient servant of the
stalwart party, says:
When in the course Of National events
1t became necessary for the Republican
party to either steal the Presidency OF
retire from power. Mr.. Justice Bradley
made that theft possible, and aided in the
contamination of that crime against the
Constitution by setting up the most ex-
treme and prepotterous States rights theory
ever before enunciated outside of a lunatic
asylum. According 10 that theory any
alleged act of State in the election Of a
| President, although such act was known
TO be violative Of the States laws, al
though known 10 be stepped in crime,
redolent Of fraud and topped Off with for
gerry, could not be reviewed by any power,
but must be accepted as the binding act OF
the State, even when IL decided National
election. This was the position Of Mr..
Justice Bradley little more than three
years ago, when he held in his hand the
power TO put either the defeated or the
elected candidate into Office. And by this
outrageous construction of States rights, he
gave that decision in favor of the man who
had failed Of election. But change has
come over the spirit of Mr.. Justice Brad
ley's dreams. The interest and purposes
of his party now demand that the recog.
nized and established rights Of States shall
be invaded that the Federal power shall
be extended into the lawful domain Of
local authority. Obedient to this call Of
party, Mr.. Justice Bradley comes TO the
front as the exponent of doctrines more an
tagonistic to States rights than any pre-
vious enunciation Of any judicial tribunal
in this country. In fact, the opinion OF
Mr.. Justice Bradley as to the right Of the
Federal Government to arrest, indict, try
and punish State officials for violation Of
State laws Is in direct and violent antagon.
ism with the precedents of the court whose
latest utterance he has delivered. There
Is no position in which a subservient tool
of party appears TO such disadvantage, and
makes such sorry record, ss he does
when q member Of a court of last resort.

Grants Nomination Assured.

So afiirms Don Cameron. A com
mittee of Republican politicians from
Philadelphia, who were in Washing
ton last week looking after appoint
ments, had an interview with Senator
Cameron, when one of them remarked
"that if there was a ballot at the
Chicago convention that Grant could
not get the full Pennsylvania delega-
tion, but that Blaine would certainly
receive twelve votes at least" To-
which Mr.. Cameron replied that his
faith in the fact that Grant would be
nominated remains unshaken :" that
he didn't believe there would be u
ballot, but that the nomination would
be made by acclamation. That his
information from various States was
of most satisfactory character, and
he thought the nomination of Grant
would be assured two weeks before the
meeting of the convention.

eously thought of him as candidate
for the Presidency, and yet he ranks
himself among the candidates with

him, "be a good boy and you may be

imous naipete is simply delicious. He
says far be it from him to interfere
with Blaine or Grant or any of these
poor people who have the Presidency
on the brain. Let them have all the

fore the committee of the Senate to
which Kerns' nomination had been re-
ferred, with protest against his ap-
pointment. The committee, however,
in the face of the protest of Mr.. Wal
lace, reported in favor of confirma-
tion and the Senate, in executive ses-
Stop, adopted the report. But notwith-
standing all this, and against all reason
and justice, Senator Wallace, in the
opinion of these wise men, must be
held responsible for the re-appoint-
ment of Marshal Kerns.
For the sake of harmony in the par
ty, without which we can never expect
success in Pennsylvania, these repeat
ed annual assaults upon Senator Wal
lace must cease. The men who in
stigate them must be taught not thus
to trifle with a great cause that has
higher aims and nobler interests at
stake than the building up of any one
man at the expense of another, or the
pulling down of one leader to advance
the ambitions of others who aspire to
his honors. Mr.. Wallace has given
the best years of life and all the pow
ers of his active mind in maintaining
the Democratic party. He has never
faltered in duty and devotion to the
cause, and as we approach another
Presidential campaign, in which he
will be expected to take a leading
part, it is not too much TO ask that
this work of personal defamation and
misrepresentation be brought to an
end. Thus far it has been borne by
himself and friends without striking
back, but the day may come when
patience will cease to be virtue.

such protection. He gave notice that

DEATH OF Miss GgE00.-It will no
doubt cause a pang Of sorrow 20 the hearts
Of the many friends Of the late Miss Mag
gle /. Gregg TO hear Of her death, which
occurred on Wednesday of last week.
Miss Gregg was the daughter of General
John Irwin Gregg, formerly Of Milesburg,
but who recently removed 70 Lewisburg.
She there became student at the Univer-
-ity Female Institute. The following reso-
lutions of coincidence which were passed
last Friday at a chapel service Of the in
stitute well express the high respect in
which she was held by her companions
at school as we'll as her old friends in this
county:
WHEREAS, God in his wisdom has been
pleased to remove by death our loved pupil
and scboolmate, Miss Maggie l. Gregg
therefore
Resoired, That while a. school we
feel that we have sustsineda loss, we know
that she has gained "an inheritance incor-
ruptible, undeflcd and that fadeth not
away :" she has but laid aside the cross
for the crown she cannot again come TO
", but we may go 10 her. With this hope
we humbly submit 70 this sad dispensstion
of an all-wise Providence.
Resoired, That though we cannot now
understand why one 30 young and full of
promise should be called from among us,
yet we believe God acts wisely; and from
the depth Of our sorrow we would look up
and say, The Lord gave and the Lord
hath taken away, pleased be his name
RssoiCed. That though Maggies cheer
ful, happy voice will never be heard at
roll cali. In recitation or in the social gath
erings, will never again mingle with US in
the morning song. Of praise, yet in lis
silence it will speak 10 us may we heed
IL admonition and be prepared to receive
with ioy the summons Of the death angel,
whether it come in the morning, at mid
dAy or not until the eyentide.
Rcsoiref, That we extend TO the men,
bers OF the bereaved family our heartfelt
sympathy, and pray that He whom Mag
gle loved and into whose hands she so trust
ingly committed her spirit may comfort
their hearts in this time of sorrow.
Rcsoiuod, That a copy Of these resolu-
tIons be sent 30 the family also that cop
les be sent TO the National Baptist, College
Herald, Lewisburg Chronicle and Lewis
burg journal for publication.

club at Washington, that it is not true
that Grant has captured six of the ten

collector being in official position, and

of those chosen, and predicts that he
will certainly have eight more. This

What the Ladies' saw.

All the world knows, that when
a woman has once expressed de-
cided opinion upon any subject,
the matter may be regarded as set
tied, and the status of the article
under consideration is defined be-
yond possibility of dispute. Nor
are these opinions often wrong.
That marvellous shorthand logic,
which enables the female intellect
to rush to conclusion, as if by
instinct, while the slower masculine
mind is still struggling with pros
and cons, is generally to be de-
pended on: and when a woman
says a thing is good, the chances
are a thousand to one that it de-
serves her encomium.
An apt illustration of this truth
is Ehrichs' Fashion Quarterly, oil
which the Fall number is before us.
That over sixty thousands ladies
throughout the United States
should accept this magazine as
their guide to Fashion and Shop
ping, is sufficient evidence Of the

The Marine City.

Since our report last week OF
the Marine City disaster, few
particulars have been learned in
regard to the lost. As stated
our last, full particulars, or the
number lost, as the passenger list
was burned, and the names of all
the passengers could not be learned
definitely, and in all probability the
number of lives lost will never be
fully known, could not be given.
There are yet many stories told
in regard to the sad affair, and the
loss of life is variously estimated
at from twelve to twenty. When
we went to press last week, it was
known that eight persons had
persisted. Two more bodies were
washed ashore on Tuesday Of last
week, and it is supposed that two
men, formerly deck hands on the
steamer Dunlap. who had secreted
themselves in the hold Of the Ma
rine City, were consumed in the
flames. One of the shore papers
says that one unfortunate woman,
who had just given birth to a child
on the main deck, jumped over
board, and was drowned.
On Wednesday the body of on,
of the victims was taken from tn,
ruins Of the burned boat, but i
was burned beyond all recognition
and on Friday two bodies were
taken from the wreck, both badly
burned. ft1
It is not impossible that there
may yet be other bodies recovered
but the actual loss Of life frou
this disaster will never be full,
and accurately determined.
