A packing Of 100 cases of 1879 PennsyL
vania was sold last week to New York
house, and several other sales are said to
have taken place, but dealers continue
very reticent rs to their transactions.
Another rumor that has prevailed dur
ing the week is that the 1879 crop, especi-
ally the filters is damaging badly, and that
many packers have been compelled to open
and repack their stock. A careful inquiry
among them would seem to estab-
lish the fact that very little dam
age has taken place. There has
been some repacking and resOrtins, but EO
more damaged goods have been found than
IN former years, and nearly all the dam
ase-averaging from four to fifteen pounds
per case-has been among the filters.
which did not cost more than from to
cents per pound. The rumor of extensive
damaging is supposed to have been started
by parties who hold Connecticut or 1878
Pennsylvania. and want to give the 1879
crop 4 ''black eye
The young plants of the coming crop of
1880 have nearly all been set out, the only
planting now being done being the reset
ting of plants killed by the cut-worm or
other cause. The weather has been favor
able, and the plants look we'll and promise
a big crop.

THE New York Sun thinks that the

THE New York Sun thinks that the
convention should disregard Mr.. Tilden's
letter of declination. The Sun is very much
alone in its thought. We do not believe
that any member of the convention did
not have pleasurable sensation when he
heard of this letter. They will grasp at
it with eagerness and i'm their satisfac-
tion at receiving it they will give Mr..
Tilden some very good words at
which he will be happy if he
thinks he conscientiOusly deserves.
Wherefore the Sun sets so much value on
Mr.. Tilden is quite incomprehensible
1t is not that it believes he will make
precious president, for it thinks it neces-
sary that Hendricks should go on the
ticket with him, to be on hand when he
is taken up among the angels, rs it ex-
poets him to he shortly.

half in diameter. This prize was won by
Philip Lebzelter who made 9S buIl-eyes
successively. .
The second prize was awarded to the
man who made the best score ut Creed
more 1000 yards target, reduced in size
to suit a fifty-foot practice-the bull-eye
being less that an inch in diameter. Each
contestant was allowed 10 shots a bull
eye counted ), an inner and an outer

OHIO has three booms on the ground at
Cincinnati. Payne and Thurman confront
each other in bristling attitude while
Jewett is kept discreetly in the back
ground, although their sympathies are
manifestly with the senator and in the
event of Thurman's candidacy appearing
hopeless, it is claimed his strength can be
transferred solidly to Jewett.

to base that false count, and II such tran
sactiOn were not only successful, but if
after allotments of its benefits were made
to its contrivers, abettors and apologists by
the chief beneficiary of the transaction, it
was condoned by the people, a practical
destruction of elections by the people
would have been accomplished.
The failure TO install the candidate
chosen by the people, contingency con-
sequent upon no act or omission of mine
and beyond my control, has thus left me
for the last three years and until now,
when the Democratic party, by the dele
gates in national convention assembled,
shall chose a new leader, the involuntary
but necessary representative of this mo-
mentous issue, as such denied the immuni-
ties of public life without the powers con-
ferred by public station, subject to unceas-
ing falsehoods and calumnies from the
partisans of an administration laboring in
vain to justify it's existence. have never
theless steadfastly endeavored to present
the same to the Democratic party of the
United States. The supreme issues before
the people for their decision next NOvem-
Der are whether this shall be a government
by the sovereign people through election
or a government by discarded servants
holding over by force and fraud and l
have withheld no sacrifice and neglected
no opportunity to uphold, organize and
consolidate against the enemies of the
representative institution of the great
party which alone under God can effectu-
ally resist the overthrow. Having now
borne faithfully my full share of the labor
and care in public service, and wearing
the marks of its burdens, I desire nothing
SO much as an honorable discharge. I wish
to lay down the honors and tolls of even
quasi. party leadership, and to seek the re-
pose of private life. In renouncing a re-

ciary as it was that of the Judiciary to pro-
tect the press. The one should conserve
the other. In the ranks of both there
were unworthy members, and not more he
thought in the press than in the judiciary.
Nor had there been more license used by
the press in denunciation of members of
the judiciary than had been practiced by
Judges in condemnation of their brother
judges. And Mr. Mcclure proceeded to
illustrate this statement with a long list of
Pennsylvania cases in which judges had Sc
verely handled each other. The supreme
judges during it's recital were evidently
greatly amused and interested. 1t was
very fresh and novel matter for them and
as they had personal knowledge of the
cases and in some of them certain of their
members had been involved, they were in
a continual chucklc, with the audience,
over the juicy dish set before them. No
body else in the state but Colonel Mcclure
could have presented it no one else would
have recalled the facts SO aptly There is

ton ON such subjects. He referred
to the case of Hole VS.. Rittenhouse where
the chief justice had delivered in wrath
diatribe upon the lower court. "Who was
it?' whispered Justice Mercur to Chief
Justice Sharswood, "Black," replied |
Sharswood. Then Mr.. Mcclure spoke of
the letter of the late chief justice (Agnew)
in the campaign of 1878, which he thought
Justice Sterrett found to be interesting
reading. The readers of the INTELLIGEN-
GER will recollect its spiciness and severity.
