The public park grounds at Brunswick are
undergoing improvements. The walks and
drives are being repaired, flower beds laid
out and seats placed under the shade trees
for the rest of weary pedestrians. The small
park, laid out by the Maine Central Railroad
Co., on which fountain has been placed. is
an ornament to their grounds and that por-
ton Of the village. A fine reclining statue
of Henry Clay, carved in Ceylon ebony. 's
one of the recent adornments added to the
attractions of the park. and it is also pro-
posed to remove several of the statues when
have encountered the sidewalk at Bracket
Corner to the same location.

The Party of Delegates.

If the delegates from this district,
saws the Meadville Republican, vote
fair and square for the man their con-
stituencts want. their duty will be done,
and whether that vote is for the sue
cessful man or another be nominated,
the Republicans of Crawford, Mercer
and Butler will vote for him to man,
and if he. is defeated it will not be their
fault. If. however, it were possible
thing (and we beg pardon of our dele
gates for even supposing the case) that
the vote Of this district should be
taken from the candidate of its choice
while there is a possibility of his nom-
ination, and given to another. we
could not guarantee the same result.
In this the people are right. If Repub-
licanism is not q cheat the people have
a right to say who is to be nominated
as fully and fairly as who shall be
elected. When we lay down the broad
principle that all the authority vested
in the district delegates is derived
from the Republicans of the district
they represent, and that no assumed
instructions from State Convention
can bind them, we DO so without res
pect to whether the district is for Grant,
Blaine, Sherman or the dark horse. Ii
is principle in the constitution of our
party, and when it is obliterated there
won't be much left worth contendine

Four Dangerous Counterfe1ts.

The Treasury Department announ-
ces the existence of counterfeit one
hundred dollar bills on the following
banks: National Revere bank, Bos-
ton; PittsGeld National bank, Pitts
field; Merchants National bank, New
Bedford Second National bank,
Wilkesbarre Pittsburgh National
Bank of Commerce. The counterfeit
notes on the banks mentioned are so
admirably executed that they are liza
bic to deceive even experts. The coun-
terfeit on the Pittsburgh Bank Of Com
merce purports to be of the "series of
1875" having the scolloped seal in
stead of the old seal with points, and
bearing the words "Series 1876"
across the face in red ink under the
charter number, and the imprint
Printed at the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing, Q. S. Treasury Depart
ment," in the upper right hand corner.
1t is printed on an imitation of the fibre
paper, and is the first counterfeit which
has vet appeared on this series of ma
tional bank notes The printing Of the
seal is somewhat imperfect, and the
figures in the boat in the vignette in
the lower left-hand corner are inferior to
the genuine The most noticeable defect
is the face of the standing figure in the
bow of the boat, which looks like a
deaths head in the counterfeit in the
genuine, the features are much more
distinct. 1t bears the signatures OF
John Allison, Register of the Treas
ury, and John c. New, Treasury of the
United States.

THE Republicans of Cumberland a

THE Republicans Of Cumberland are
speaking out. The same vigorous
spirit appears there as in Lancaster.
The Standing Committee of the county
issued call for primary elections
last Saturday to vote on the follow
ing resolutions
Resol,ed, That the choice of Cumberland
county for president of the United States IS
James q. Blaine, and that the delegates from
this district to the National Convention are in
structed and required to east the vote of this
district for James q Blaine as long as he is a
candidate before the Convention.
The elections are to be held in the
usual way and the returns are to be
sent to the chairman of the committee

THE committee appointed by the
Crawford county mass meeting, held
at Meadville some weeks ago, to inter
view Gordon and Robinson as to their
intended action at Chicago, addressed
their interrogatories to those gentle
men last week, but up to yesterday
morning had received no reply"
The above we clip from the Mercer
Inder of last week, and is the first
statement we have seen that the COM
mittee appointed by the Crawford
county meeting had addressed the del
egates on the subject of their appoint
ment. Being so, we presume we will
now soon have early answers from the
delegates to the interrogatories of the
committee. These answers will settle
the whole question, or at least let the
Republicans know what further action,
if any, is necessary on their part. The
party in this county is therefore very
anxiously waiting to see these answers.

The Census Takers.

A Washington special is as follows
The Superintendent of the Census has
prepared the commissions and instruc-
tions for the supervisors in those States
in which the entire list has been con-
frmed, ard preparations will be made
at once to organize tie force of enum-
orators and prepare for the taking of the
census in such States, beginning on
June lst. No commissions will be sent
to supervisors in the States where the
nominations for supervisors are pend
ing, or where vacancies exist by reason
of reflections, and should the Senate
persist in these rejections it is probable
that some of the States will be omitted
in the census of 1880 The entire list
of supervisors in Pennsylvania not hav-
ing been confirmed, no instructions or
commissions will be forwarded to that

Mr.. DENNIS KEARNEY gets the snug
sentence of six months imprisonment
and to pay fine of $1,000 This is
the nearest approach to justice toward
this pestiferous blackguard that has
been meted out, and it is greatly to be
hoped the higher Courts to which, it
is understood, he proposes to carry his
case will be as intelligent regarding
their duty as was the San Francisco
Police Judge Kearney was greatly
surprised at the magnitude of the SEN
tence, as he had in his unbounded inn
pudence been boasting that he would
suffer no greater penalty than fine of
about twenty dollars. The people OF
San Francisco have for long time
borne in patience the antics of this
man, and it is satisfactory to learn
that they have at last determined to
bear down upon him.

The Philadelphia Erening Star, an
independent paper, in speaking of our
corrupt Legislators, says: eff the pub
licity given to the vile proceedings of
these corruptionists, although a re-
proach on our fair fame, results in
awakening the true and honest men OF
our State to the Importance of sending
better class of men to the Legisla-

of all their corruptors, our State Will
soon be redeemed from the dishonor
entaled upon her by these scoundrels

Blaine Feeling Growing

Elsewhere in this issue will be seen
what the Republicans Of other coun-
ties in this State are doing on the
Presidential question. In some OF
these counties the action of the Re-
puslican masses had been similar to
that of our own county previous TO
the meeting of the State Convention
and in appointing their delegates
thereto. In other counties no action
was taken as to their district delegates
to the Chicago Convention, both for
want of time and the not dreaming
that the State Convention would dare
usurp their rights in the matter
Hence they are now meeting and act
ing, as they have a right to do any
time before the Chicago Convention
meets-June End. And all this arises
from the "snap judgment" as it was
well termed. which was attempted to
be taken by the early call for and
meeting of the State Convention, on
February 4, now almost two months
ago and at least three months etrlier
than what it should or need have been
The result has been to arouse the Re-
pnblicans of the State to an assertion
of their Inherent and inalienable right
to choose and instruct their own dis
trict delegates to a National Conven'
ton. IF the sentiment of the great
majority of them in the State is re-
spected, Senator Blaine will have the
vote of Pennsylvania at Chicago.

No Action in the Brib ry Cases.

HARRISBURG, March lit was ex-
pected that the Board of Pardons be-
fore adiourning to-day Won d decide
whether a meeting would be held on
the 29th to consider the application for
pardons of the parties recently con-
victed here of bribery. The board yes
terday before transacting any business
consulted on the subject, but came to
no conclusion beyond agreeing to set
tie the matter before adjournment sine
die to-day. But it adjourned without
making any decision, and although 1t
was supposed that the matter would
be arranged that evening, yet up to
midnight no call for meeting on the
29th had been decided on. Lieutenant
Governor Stone left for home tonight,
and he says that although tie subject
of an extra session was broached, yet
it was not decided upon. He is re-
ported to be opposed to the extra ses-
sion. Counsel for the applicants have
been making strong effort to
have the board meet on the day they
are sentenced, but the only way it can
be done now is for the members to
agree while at home as to what they
will do.

The Plumed Knight.

A letter was received at the Wash
ington postoffice on Monday morning,
addressed as follows: ''The Plumed
Knight, United States Senate, Wash
ington, d. c." 1t was postmarked
Knoxville, Tenn. The postmaster of
the Senate had an idea it was intended
for Senator Blaine, but he did not feel
like taking the responsibility of putting
it in Blaine's box, SO he handed it TO
Sergeant-at- Arms Bright and consul
tation was held, to which several SEN
ators of both parties were admitted.
1t was suggested by one that the let
ter belonged to Judge Davis. Another
claimed that Edmunds was the person
addressed, and another that Thurman
or Voorhees, or Conkling was intended,
but it was finally decided to give it to
Blaine, so when he came into the Sen
ate Col. Bright handed it to him and
very gracefully indicated that public
opinion seemed to recognize him as
the owner of the letter. Blaine smiled
and opened the envelope. 1t was an in
vitation to James G. Blaine to attend
some literary exercises at the Univer-
sity of Tennessee.

Gov. HoYT, in recent interview, is
reported as holding the opinion that
the unit rule is only binding on the
delegates at large. He holds that the
district delegates are free to vote ac.
cording to the wishes of their constitu-
ents. This view is correct, and the
district delegates, if they are true to
their instructions will vote 80 as to
reflect the sentiment of the constitu-
ency they have been delegated to rep
resent. The State Convention by a
meagre majority declared for the unit
system, but the ffty-eight delegates
from this State will not be given sol
idly, unless they are ready to join
hands for Blaine In that case they
would be carrying out the wishes OF

express their unbiased preference for a

states that large majority of the

fears that they will not be fairly repre-
sented at Chicago. The Agitotor says
the call has been circulated only two
or three days and has 270 active and
decided Republicans to it, and that it
could be doubled with very little

THERE are signs of revolt in York
county. The chairman of the County
Committee has called Convention of
delegates to "obtain the prevailing SEN
timent among the Republicans of York
as to their choice for presidential nom
inee,u with a view to the election, by
district action, of new delegates to the
Chicago Convention. This is in the
line of the action proposed to be taken
in Lancaster county, and if responded
to will result in two sets of delegates
-one set named through the State
Convention by the district delegates in
it from those counties, and the other
chosen through delegate Convention or
otherwise, by the counties. Certain it
is, the Republicans of Pennsylvania
are in condition of great unrest at the
situation in which they find themselves
placed And this because they feel that
there is relentless purpose on tie
part of set OF leading politicians to
drag the delegates from this State up
to the support Of "A candidate to whose
nomination they are opposed, and to
compel these delegates to sacrifice and
defeat the candidate whom our Re-
publicans are proud to consider their
great and gallant leader-Press.

This disease like many others is regarded
as incurable. 1t is not so. If it is taken in
time it is as easily cured as wart or a corn.
We know very well that it is fearful disease
and will eat away until it destroys life, that
is if it is neglected, but if it is attended to
when it first makes its appearance, or soon
after there is no trouble in eradicating 1t
from the system. Persons VIII have to be here
during part of the treatment, consequently
there is no use writing to me for information
whether it can be cured without my seeing the

WHEN mans horse is stolen it may
be the perfection of kindness, of good
sense and of worldly wisdom, to ad-
wise him to get paddock for his stable,
but that it will disturb the harmony Of
the community to make row about it,
and trv to catch the thief and recover
the horse, and he had better not do it.
That seems to be about the size of the
advice which is quite frequently y given
to the Republicans of this district, who
walked up one morning to find that the
delegates they had chosen and in
structed had been taken in hand by
some parties with headquarters at
Harrisburg, and given new set of in
structions If the Harrisburg gentle
men had not done wrong there
wouldn't be any series of rows all over
the State, but as it Is there is likely to
be lively time for few weeks-all
inside the party ranks. Those who
have good advice to give, had best, we
think, give it to those men who have
attempted to rob the Republicans of
this and other districts-of the whole
State indeed-of their right to an hon
est representation of their wishes at
Chicago, and not upon those Republi-
cans who believing themselves de-
frauded, are doing their best to right
the wrong Nedduilie Republican.
