LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

Christ kauuinnn Oo1ns 10 fOttSf1ue.
Pottsville Chronicle, Dem.
The advertising columns of the Miners
Journal contain a call for "a mass meet
ing to take action for the recovery of the
rights of the Republican voters of Scuyl-
kill county, and for the reorganization of
the party government upon the American
and Republican basis that the majority
shalt rule" The meeting will be held at
Union hall, on Monday morning, at half
past ten o'clock, and will he addressed by
Hon. Charles S. Wolfe, Senator Lee. of
Venango, and Senator Kaufman, of Lam
caster. All who favor the principles of the
address issued by the committee Of one
thousand are cordially invited to attend.
In their call the committee of arrange
ments announce that they Twill fight it
out on this line if it takes all summer. -
The gathering Of these unsophisticated
Republicans, whose creduli:y General
81 ,fried imagines has been i'm
posed upon, promises to te quite
an extensive and respectable affair.
It is rather difficult, however, to under
stand what business Charles S. Wolfe and
Senators Lee and Kaufman have to take
sides in a faction fight among the Repub-
licans of Schuylkill county. The right Of
the Republicans of this county Or any
portion of them, to be addressed by
prominent gentlemen from distance is
unquestioned; but there is certainly no
more propriety in Senator Kaufman
taking up the cudscl for the ''swallow
tails against the ''short hairs Of Schuyl-
kill county, than there would be in Judge
Green or d. c. Henning, esq, going over
to Lancaster to advocate the cause of the
''Bull Ring" 1t is question of propriety
| that ought to commend itself to the gen-
tlemen themselves but if Republicans do
not protest against its manifest indelicacy,
VIC do not know that the outsiders have
any right to complain.
