The Downfall Of Conkling.

The protracted struggle between the Stall
wart and Half Breed Republicans, as they
are called, ended last Friday by the election
of E. G. Lapham, the compromise candidate,
to succeed Mr.. Conkling in the United States
Senate. The victory cannot conduce to har-
mony in the Republican ranks. The strug-
gle was too long and bitter, and many things
we've said and done on both sides which will
not soon be forgotten. Roscoe Conkling,
although defeated, is in the prime of life and
vigor, and the chief of a powerful faction of
the Republican party. He is not the man to
take defeat patiently, but will make his pow
er heard and felt in the future. The New
York Sun rejoices for the sake of the coun-
try in his downfall, and says:
While, personally, we might pause to drop
a tear into his political grave, for the sake OF
the country we rejoice over his downfall
/. Because in him falls the foremost enemy
of the freedom of the press in America.
H. Because in him falls one of the invent
ors and the chief promoter of the nnconstitu-
tlonal Electoral Commission, which defraud.
ed the people of the United States out OF
their own choice for President for four years
inaugurating the unelected Hayes in place OF
the elected Tilden.
Ill Finally, and above all else, because in
Roscoe Conkling falls the leader of the Third
Term party, who would overthrow the free
Constitution of the United States and erect
an empire on its ruins.
Down, down forever, with all such men

home camp meeting commenced last SUM-
day at Hoopman's chapel, to continue during
the week. Sunday Rev. 7. d. Valiant, Presi-
dent of the Maryland Annual Conference NJ p
Church, preached morning and night, and Rev.
j. w. Steele, Of the Southern Methodist Church,
in the afternoon. 1t is estimated that !, 500
persons were present Sunday afternoon.-
There was quite a sprinkling of politicians
present, each presenting his claims. The man
who will electioncer at religious gatherings and
on Sunday ought to be spotted and receive
but few votes. 1t Is one evidence of what the
man is.
TEMPERANCE.
The temperance cause is assuming shape, and
Its advocates only ask the candidates, if elected
to allow the passage of any bill that will give to
the people OF the county chance to vote on the
question as to whether liquor shall or shall
not be sold. The man who will promise his
support TO the cause this far will stand good
chance for election, but if he promise and goes
back on his word "woe betde him."

The County Levy.

The County Commissioners, at their meet
ings on Monday and Tuesday, definitely fix
ed the levy for county taxes for 1881 at 60
cents on the 800. The total amount re-
quired for county expenses is $74,480. OF
this amount $19,520 is appropriated to the
support of the public schools and the build.
ing of new school houses. The regular ap-
preparation for the public roads is $1G,550-
In addition to this amount there has been
levied for culverts, bridges, opening new
roads and repairs made necessary by the Sc.
we're freshets of this year, So ,91034-making
the amount levied for roads, bridges, &C.
$l9,520.34, or about the same amount as for
the public schools. These two items
schools and roads-absorb considerably more
than one-half of the entire amount raised by
taxation, leaving the remainder for the ex.
penses of our courts, the support of the poor
&c.
Besides the amount raised by the county
levy the Commissioners have in hand or pay
able to the county on the lst of January next,
a contingent fund of $4,000 This fund will
materially aid in lessening the tax bills OF
next year The books of the Commissioners
show that there are no outstanding claims
for the year ending June Both, 1881, which
have not been provided for in the levy Just
made. They have appropriated more money
for the public schools and public roads than
has ever been appropriated before for these
necessary items of expense. No taxpayer,
however, will complain of this. The public
roads must be kept in the best possible order
to accommodate the business of the county
and it is poor economy to withhold the mon
ey necessary for that purpose.
The Commissioners have also erected a
new building at the Almshouse besides max
ing extensive repairs upon the old buildings,
MS well as permanent Improvements to the
county farm, which have increased its value
and made itmore productive.
Notwithstanding the increased amount ap-
propriited for the public schools and public
roads the expenses of the county have been
much lower the past year than in any year
since 1868.
The reduction of taxes by the present
board of County Commissioners has been eff.
frcted by carefully watching every item of
expenditure, and by keeping every detail OF
business appertaining to their office well in
hand While they have discharged their
duty to the taxpayers with wisdom, prudence
and economy that entities them to commend
alton, they have also justified the confidence
reposed in them by the Democratic party
when ii selected them as its candidates.

A Hartford County Farm.

MIR. EDITOR: In passing through your county
| have noticed many fine farms, but have not
seen more promising crops anywhere than those
of Mr.. Jacob Shertzer, on the farm of DR.. David
Harlan, ut Churchvile.
The fields, SO beautifully set in grass, have a
fine appearance, and on them are sixty head of
cattle, thirty of which are now ready for the
slaughter, and no less than three hundred sheep
grazing. In fact everything has thrifty, bust
ness like appearance, and speaks well for the
husbandman. Even the garden, believe, is not
exceled in the ueighborhood.
In passing the corn field, the like of which has
not been seen this season, it reminds one of a
dense pine forest, the tall stalks rearing their
lofty heads high in the air, all nicely in tassel,
with the ear already formed beneath. 1t is pro-
baby the best in the county. In u brief con-
yersation with Mr. Shertzer / learned that he
cut and stored away eighty-tive large four.horse

President Garfield.

A sudden change for the worse took place
in President Garfield's condition, last Satur-
day morning, causing great uneasiness and
alarm. DR.. Hamilton, of New York, and DR..
Agnew, of Philadelphia, who were summon
ed, came on to Washington, in special
train at the rate of a mile minute. They
arrived at 730 p. NJ, and finding the Presi-
dent asleep concluded not to disturb him.
On Sunday morning an incision was made
below the orifice left by the bullet and the
accumulated pus was discharged. The Presi-
dent was at once relieved, and everybody
grew more cheerful. He continued to i'm
prove, but was very sick again, on Tuesday,
Another operation was performed by DR..
Agnew, and small pieces of bone, which had
evidently caused the trouble, were removed
from the wound
The Presidents condition is now reported
by the physicians as favorable. He is, how
ever, very sick man. Everything is being
done for him that medical skill and expert
ence can suggest, and while we may hope
for the best, it is well to be prepared for the
worst that may occur.

Since the attempted assassination of the
President the foolish idea has been advanced
by some persons that the office of Vice Presi-
dent should be abolished, because it offers u
temptation to bad men to compass the death
of the President in order that the Vice Pres-
dent may rise to the dignity of Chief Executive
Some one would have to be authorized to
succeed the President, in case of DEATH so
that the same argument would apply in any
case. Our system of government has with
stood the shock of civil and foreign wars,
and we do not believe any good can arise
from tinkering with it,

SUNDAY SCHOOL PIC MIC.

SUNDAY SCHOOL PIC MIC.
The Rock Run Sunday school held their an
nual pic mic, in Hopkins's grove, on Tuesday,
the 10Th. There was a large attendance, and all
seemed TO enjoy themselves to their hearts con-
tent. Ice cream and cake were gratuitously
distributed. 1t will long be remembered by
those who participated in its enjoyment.
THREsuING.
Some of the surrounding farmers are thresh-
ing out their wheat crop. So far as reported, it
is only a moderate yield, the average being ten
or twelve bushels per acre. One man, who
thought at the time Of cutting that he would
have twenty bushels per acre, says now he will
be content with half of that amount The I'M
usual scarcity of the crop in the far west and
the small amount raised throughout the East,
will have tendency to increase the price before
another crop can be harvested.
LOCAL HAPPENINGS.
The proposed change of the name of Level
postoffice seems to meet with general approba-
ton. 1t certainly would be advisable to give it
name somewhat more appropriate to Ills posi-
ton, than the one it now bears. Although there
is some difference Of opinion us to what name it
should bear it will, no doubt be settled at the
meeting called for that purpose on Saturday.
