HDfrsa AND PROPRIETOR.
TnE Mckee Republican State Com
Dittee met in Philadelphia last Wed
nesday to consider the proposal oi
che Cooper Republican State Com
Hittee to harmonic Republicans Oh
the State ticket, but they rejected the
proposals OF the Cooper Committee
which seems natural enough, when il
rs considered that the Republican
reform element in the late Legisla.
ture was strong enough to send SC
able . man as Mitchell to the United
States Senate. TO say it the mild
est, it was presuming that the re
form element WAS green, or not in
earnest, when it WAS presumed, that
It would agree to present the Beaver
ticket, and the Stewart ticket, both of
which had been formed by conven-
ton maRagement-to a vote of the
people of the party. That would be
no decision OF the party as to its
preference by q popular vote it would
only be al expression of preference
as to which one of two tickets, both
of which had been set up by a con-
vention. The Mckee Committee
proposed to Withdraw both cor ZEN
ton tickets, and then provide for the
holding of nominating election for
Governor and other State officers, in
every election district in the Com
monwealth, and the candidates that
had the majority votes for the re-
spective offices shall constitute the
Republican State ticket. The Nc
Zee Committee also, demanded that
none of the convention candidates
shall become a candidate st the new
election by tho people this fall. The
Stewart ticket proposed to withdraw
from the field. if the Beaver ticket
would do SO, and give the people the
chance to nominate ticket by q di-
rect vote. 1t Was q mistake, from q
party stand point, that the popular
method of the nominating of candid
ates was not agreed upon.
JuDaE PgEsHISG,-Democrat-in
the Pottsrille district, proposes to
again become Il candidate for the Of
fce of Judge, without regard to tho
action of any political party,
TIE Egyptians say; that the En-
glish had seven war vessels sunk by
the Egyptian forts on the 11th OF
July when the bombardnent OF
Alexandria took place.
The United States Government
has about 1000 cats cared for in the
several large Post Offices, in such
places, for instance as Philadelphia,
and New York. The cats are the
safest, and most certain rat and
mouse e1terminator. Rats and mice
mus. be kept out of the mail. The
Government pays for the keeping of
the cats
To Cabinet meeting, on the ques-
ton of Assessments, President Ar
thur. the other day expressed his
views freely and fully. They were
In substance that no person in any
one OF the Executive Departments
declining to contribute shall on that
account be subjected to discharge or
criticism, and no attempt to injure
him on this ground will be counter
anced or tolerated.
The Philadelphia Trade and Labor
Council have issued q call for Con-
vention to be held in Philadelphia
August 2Sl6S2. The Beaver people
hope to catch the most OF them, so
as to make up for the loss of such as
vote for Stewart. If Beaver can
keep his feet and carry, majority,
over, the Stewart Republicans, over
the Democrats. over the Greenback-
ers, over the Prohibitionists, aud ov-
er the new prospective Labor ticket,
he will be the next Governor. There
Will be 6 tickets to divide the vote Of
the people.
Ir Beaver keeps on talking about
the littleness of Senator Cameron
both the father and the son may
take offense, and turn against the
General Neither of the Camerons
are running for Office, and Beaver
can be of no use to them excepting
for three purposes. First He could
be Of use to them to help them dis
tribute the State offices to their
friends. Second. He by being friend
ly could help keep their prestige Of
political influence or power. Third.
He could veto any Lee .ative ap-
portionment bill that might be favor
ed by the Legislature that might not
be in accord with the spportionment
views of the Camerons. The Gamer
on succession depends more upon
the complexion of the Legislature
than upon the governorship. If
Beaver throws off Cameron, Cameron
san throw Beaver.
A BRITISH correspondent, from a
town inland from Alexandria Egypt,
c.me to the coast and despatched the
following, relative to the barbarities
he witnessed on the 18th of, July;
by mid day I counted not less than
eighty five corpses carried past, in
groups of three or four, each pro-
cession headed by two women, carry
ing each a bludgeon to which dismem-
bered arms and legs were tied. Then
followed other women uttering cries
of Joy as at weddings, surrounding
the bodies, which were dragged along
by ropes tied to the legs until they
became dismembered. Then the
rope was shifted to other limbs. The
mob with bludgeons beat the bodies
