AK aISH THVH4DAT KVEW1M. MAY 16. 18OT. Republican State ConTentioni The "Republican State Convention" will nieet at the "Herdio House," in Williams port, on Wednesday, the 26th of June next, at 10 o'clock, a. to nominate a candidate for proper measures for the ensuingState canvass.

As heretofore, the Convention will be com posed of Representative and Senatorial Delegates, chosen in the usual way, and equal in number to the whole of the Senators and Rep sentatives in the General Assembly. By order of the State Central Committee. F. JORDAN, Chairman, Geo. W.

Hamebsly, Secretaries. J. ROBLKT DuKOLISON, Go Bkown, of Georgia, is now subject to hotter abuse from the rebels than was ever any Northern Abolitionist. Seventy Thousand German Emigrants are booked for passage to this country the present season. They are represented to be of the hardy laboring class.

Montana is said to be the richest mineral district in the world. In 18C6 her population was less than 40,000, and her gold product mi 18.000.000 eaual to $450 for each nmn wrtmnn and child. A State Medical Convention is to assem Ma in Ph.shnri. on the 12th of June. The Commercial says there will be a very full at tendance of the profession, delegates having ri annointed from every county in the State.

Cowan, the renegade, is now pensioned upon the U. S. Treasury, as an assistant in examining claims, etc. to go before the Court of Claims. A son of the renegade is one of the President' secretaries.

Recreancy pays, Before the expiration of Cowan's term as a U. Senator, he boasted that at the end of the session he intended to return to Pennsyl vania to fieht the radicals. Why don't he come? The people of the South may rest assured that the Republican party will keep its faith with them will stand by its express and 1m elicit nleda es. It will conform to the terms 4 of the reconstruction acts of the last Con gress. If the people of the South will come back under these acts, and elect loyal men to Congress, we venture to say there will not be found one Republican in a hundred to resist their complete restoration to the' rights of States within the Union.

John C. Breckinridge1, Jake Thompson, Benjamin and other exiled rebels can now return to their old homes with impunity. Treason ia not a crime though it imbrues its hands in blood and starws men and women treason in a bailable offense traitors when they fall into the hands of the President are treated like princes. Let the entire host of exiled traitors come home to their friend, Andrew Johnson. There is fat in the land for all such wretches.

This Indian war will be attended with a very heavy expense. It is unlucky that we have the Indians to fieht so soon after the war against the rebellion, but this is proba bly a logical supplement of the treason of the South. We do not see how, inthe present linancial situation, we can avoid aoaing ma terially to the public debt. Still, business may revive for the coming year and the reve iiih rain ma nnnrnnr1i their former amount. II If so, we shall have enough to defray all current expenses, with something to spare toward the principal of the debt.

Tub New York Times, commenting on the signing of the eight hour law by Governor Fentou, remarks on its practical eftect as follows The aeitators for this movement have succeeded they have "regulated labor" they have got two hours per day for idleness and its expensive luxuries and what does it cost Twenty cents out of every dol' lar that might have gone into their pockets, which, with at least an equal amount that will be wasted during the extra hours of idleness will be a practical reduction of forty per cent, in the wages of labor. There is no mistaking the glee of Copper head organs over the release of Jeff. Davis, and their purpose to turn the transaction to the ridicule not only of the living but the dead supporters of the Union. By one of these orgaus it is brutally declared that Un derwood fixed Davis' bail so as to make it average ten cents for every life sacrificed dur ing the war for the Union. James Buchanan once declared that a white man's day's work was not worth more than ten cents.

Now the disciples of Buchanan insist that a white man's life, lost in a struggle for a free gov ernment, is only worth ten cents. Democracy is progressing. Some of the Delegates to the Democratic Convention to nominate a candidate for Su premo Judge are ex rebels. A fellow named W. D.

Moore, elected a delegate to this con vention from Allegheny county, was a "min ister of the gospel" in Mississippi, at the precipitation of the rebellion, where he prayed lustily for Davis and the Confederacy, He afterwards settled in Westmoreland coun ty, where he was nominated and defeated as a Democratic candidate for the Legist ture. He now turns up in Allegheny county, as a delegate to a Democratic State Conven tion. The Teleouai uic News Agents in" the South have evidently combined to misrepre sent the colored men of that region, and create the impression in the North that all the mur ders and disturbances ot the public peace originate with the negroes. There is an ap parent studied determination to fix these charges as facts on the minds of the masses of the North, for the purpose of making po litical capUal against the Republican party, For the tiie being, these efforts will, of course, have a bad effect but, like all lies, they will recoil upon those who set them afloat. The real truth is, thatvthe blacks of the South are disposed, in honesty and fair ness, to live in peace and follow useful, indus trious pursuits, while the white loafers, who never did or would work, and who swore, in their defeat as traitors, that they intended to 'Met things go to hell," are at the bottom of every outrage now perpetrated in the South, It is the mustered out cut throats of the rebel armies who compose the mobs of the lately revolted States.

It is these who maltreated and starved. Union prisoners who now assril Northern men while advocating Union doc trine but, in the face of these facts, the re port from the South is daily telegraphed to .1 .1 the JNonn mat tne negroes are the prime movers and leaders in such disturbances, While we are perfectly content to allow rebels to lie, and tneir inenas to enjoy, among themselves) the digestion of such food, we are not disposed to let honest people be de eeived by such machinations. The telegraph wires of the South, now, as during the rebel lion, are under the control of traitors. This fact should never be lost sight of while read ing accounts of "negro riots" in that region, the for to but his ASHAMED OF THEIR WORK. Every man who understands the tricks by which Mr.

Seward has ruled Andrew Johnson, and every man who has a knowledge of the weakness in the character of the latter, which impels him to believe that "he can do no wrong," at once discovered in the release of Jefferson Davis a plot on the part of the worthies whose names we have just written, to make capital tor themselves and against Republican party. The disgrace or the destruction of the Republican party is the main hope, the only object, the thing labored by the Copperheads of the North and ex rebels of the South. If this can be accom plished, the way is open to traitors once more control the Government in all its branches as long as the Republican party lives, the Republic itself is safe from the polluting touches of its enemies. Hence Mr. Seward, tool, Andrew Johnson, and the instru ment of both, Judge Underwood, planned and engineered the release of Jefferson Davis in such a manner, as they had calculated, to make the Republican party responsible for the ct.

Horace Greeley with all his sagacity, allowed himself to be used as a tool in the same sickly operation. The whole tribe of Copperheads now take advantage of the facts we state to show that the radicals are resDonsible for Davis' release. There is no doubt it will be easy to convince the igno rant mass of Copperheads that Bach is the fact; but it is clearly manifest already that nineteen out of every twenty Republicans repudiate the professed radicals who have identified themselves with Davis' release, while we have yet to peruse a Republican journal which does not execrate the act of Judge Underwood as an insult to the men who con quered treason on the battle field, and taunt to those who bear on their bodies the marks of rebel outrage endured while prisoners in their hands. The Republican press, the Repub lican party, as a whole, repudiate the release of Jeff. Davis on bail as a farce, as a mean truckling, cowardly, base and contemptible act, unworthy the most dishonest of those who wield power and occupy position under the control of Andrew Johnson.

To clear Jeff. Davis, if brought to trial, all the Cop perhead lawyers of eminence in the North were ready to volunteer their services. Since the arch traitor has been released, the con gratulation and rejoicing have been confined to the Copperhead press. The Republican press of this country do not endorse the pro ceedings which brought about that release, The individual Republicans who are connected directly or remotley with the transaction are already ashamed of themselves. Let it not, then, be uttered in any quarter, that this base act of treachery is the result of a single effort of the Republican party, or that it is approved by the Republican press.

It is Andrew John son's act, backed by the men who supported the acts of traitors, to relieve rebellion of the odium of having been illegal. HAVE THEY A BIGHT TO ASK IT? We notice that petitions are being con stantly sent to the President, signed by rebel ex generals, ex Congrcssmen, ex Governors and ex Cabinet officers of the bogus confederacy, praying for the removal of particular military officers in authority at the South. The bloody handed ex Mayor Monroe, of New Orleans, recently called on Mr. John son to implore the removal and, if possible, cashiering of Gen. Sheridan, for the reason that that soldier enforces the law againrt traitors.

The question suggests itself here, Are these rebels entitled to the right of petition Twenty five yeara ago the slave holders maintained the monstrous doctrine that a citizen of a free State had no right to petition Congress on the subjeot of slavery. Are not the people of the lately revolted States in a similar condition to that of a man in the penitentiary Are they not at present justly cut off from the exercise of certain civil rights, because of their forfeiture by treason? And consequently, being in the attitude of crim inals, have they the right of petition? Would the Governor of Pennsylvania receive a pe tition from the condemned in the Eastern or Western Penitentiary, asking that he should interfere to have the keepers of such estab lishments changed because they enforce the laws against the inmates thereof? It strikes us there is an analogy between these jail birds and the vultures of treason, and we leave it to the lawyers to settle whether a traitor has any claim to the right to petition, One of llie Right Kind of Reconstruction Influences. Returns received by the Commissioner of the General Land Office from the Louisiana land office, show that during the months of January, February, and March last, 159 farms, comprising in the aggregate over 20, 000 acres, were added to the productive force of the State, under the provisions of the act of Congress of June 21, 1866, providing for the disposal of the public lands for home. stead actual settlements, in Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Florida. This is what we call one of the right kind of reconstruction influences.

As soon as the hereto fore unproductive land of the South is profit ably cultivated as soon as the immense and badly worked plantations of that region are cut up into small farms and distributed among producers who will work them profit ably, we will have better government in the South, more loyalty, more republicanism, and a purer regard for our authority. Small farms are what make Republics strong. The more equally the land is divided among the masses, the greater becomes the country, the grander its development, and the more enduring its institutions. Those who desire intelligently to study the real progress of re construction, need only look to the Land Office Reports. The editorial columns of the pro rebel journals of the South, continue to abound in articles charging on the mass of the people of the North the most intolerant acts of op pression towards the people of the South, and insisting that the South must never expect any but the meanest treatment from Yankees.

In the same journals centaining these editorials, (reports of "Associations for the aid of the are published, ac knowledging the receipt of immense supplies of clothing, provision, medicine and money from the North, as a free will offering to the South. Such is the style in which the chiv alry of the South appreciate the munificence of the mudsills of the North. The appointment of Messrs. Derrickson. M' Veigh and Hall, by the Governor, as Com missioners to revise the civil code, meets the hearty approbation of the press throughout the State.

The Governor could not have teen more happy ia his selection. The gen tlemen named are all men of the highest char acter and lawyers of the best standing in the regions of the State from which they come. It is true we see growls in one or two coun try newspapers, edited by solons who wished the appointment themselves. The Governor has acted wisely in the selections made. Hon.

Louisiana Rebels Deceiving the Negroes Tbe Organization of Republican Clubs. Washington, May 16, 1807. Governor Throckmorton has appealed to the President to rescind General Griffin's order forbidding all but original Unionists to serve as jurors in Texas. The appeal has been referred to Attorney General Stanbery. The President' organ in this city says: "It not follow that because Jeff.

Davis has been admitted to bail and his trial postponed that it will not take place." It is believed that Secretary Seward was influential in securing the commutation of the Fenian Col. Burke's sentence in Ireland. The rebels in western Louisiana are deterring the negroes from registering by representing that they will be subject to a tax of ten dollars a head. Republican clubs will be organized in a few days at twelve different points in Louisiana. Acquittal or Thomas Leis, who shot a Villain In Court.

Another Murder Trial in Philadelphia. Philadelphia, May 10.

This morning John O' Toole was placed on trial charged with causing the death of John Murray, on Christmas night last. A party of maskers, including the deceased, visited the public house of O' Toole, on Market street above Twentieth, and it is alleged that their conduct was such as to compel O'Toole to order them away.

They returned in a short time and loole discharged a pistol at the crowd, the ball taking effect in the left breast of John Mur ray, causing a wound irom the eflects ot which he died in about a week. The case is on trial. THE NEW ORLEANS DEFAULTERS. Wo Ioss to the Government. THE PUBLIC DEBT.

New York, May 16, 1867. Mr. Spinner expresses his opinion that the Government will not lose anything by the deficiencies of the Assistant treasurer's accounts at JNew Orleans. Probably on account of the Indian war and the extra bounty bill, Secretary M'Culloch does not expect any reduction ot the public debt tor some months to come, and it will require all his financial ability to prevent fall ing oenina. Opinion of the Attorney General on the act.

Washington, May 16. The opinion of Attorney General Stanbery on the Reconstruction act will, it is expected, be ready for promulgation this week. All the points have been decided on and approved by the President and cabinet. The utmost pains have been taken to ren der clear, and beyond doubt, the meaning of the various branches ot these acts, ihe preparation of the document has involved an examination ot the laws of the Southern States, in order to understand precisely what classes of persons are affected by the Congressional action, and to afford a guide by which this may be carried into execution, with the least possible of embarrass ment to all parties concerned. Railroad Accident.

Philadelphia, May 16. The train from Bethlehem, on the South Bethlehem railroad, due in this city at three o'clock yesterday afternoon, did not arrive until nearly four, owing to an accident which happened somewhere in theivicinity of Greenland. ihe train, which consisted ot an engine, on passenger car and freight car, was proceeding at the usual speed, when one of the lett forward wheels of the nassenger car suddenly snapped in two, letting down the body of the car on the track, in which position it dragged about one fourth of a mile before the train could be stormed. The passengers were few and none of them were hurt. More Failures in Baltimore.

is Trom the New York Sun. Enough of the Treason Farce. It is stated that the Grand Jury of the United States Court, in Richmond, has indicted John C. Breckinridge and four or five other distinguished rebels, for the crime of treason. It seems to ns that the treason farce has gone about far enough.

If the treat chief of all the rebels can be so splen idly treated, and so easily released, and so warmly congratulated, and all that soft of thing, it is hardly worth while to. incur the trouble and expense or arresting and try ing any ot the lesser lights. Ihe manner in which treason has been "made odious," in the case of Jeff. Davis, not likely to inspire Breckinridge or any other rebel with much fear. But Breckinridge has for some time been troubled with a flatness of purse, and it is quite likely that he has rather envied his friend Jefferson the excellent board which the Government has kindlv furnished the latter, free of charge.

And then the ovations, and the feastings, and the solitude of Radical sympathizers, are "not to be sneezed at." If Breckinridge par ticularly desires it, and agrees to pay for his own champaigne and Havanas while at the Fortress, perhaps the Government might con sent to arrest and hold him for treason, but otherwise we should object to granting him any such favors. A Wanderer Returns Home. Within one month of twenty years ago, a lad, about fif teen vears old, named Kennedy, whose father, Mr. Neal Kennedy, resided in South Easton, was corrected by his parent for seme misconduct. The punishment was more than his youthful spirit could endure, and, resolving to run away from home, he took his departure surreptitiously the afternoon of the day on which he was chastised.

Although his anx ious parents sought every means to obtain some information of their "prodigal son," all their efforts were in vain, and no clue of his whereabouts could be found. Near twenty years have elapsed since then. His relatives have for eighteen years mourned for him as dead. Ihe father, Mr. Kennedy, has re mained in South Easton since the time of his son's departure, and other children have been added to his family.

The wanderer was spoken of as one never to be seen again. His early companions have grown into man hood's estate, and few remain in our midst who remember the wanderer and his depart are. But the strangest part oT this romance re mains to be related. On Friday last a mid dle aged man called at the Lehigh Valley shoos in South Easton, and' seemed intent upon finding some one for whom he was looking, and at last espying Mr. Kennedy, the elder, at work in the yard, he walked up to him and announced himself as his son, whom he supposed was dead, ihe scene, which followed can better be imagined than our feeble pen can.

picture it. unable to recognize in the man before him' the son, who, a mere stripling, had left his home so manv vears ago. Mr. Kennedy yet found evi dences to satisfy himself of his identity. The wanderer was conducted to the home of his parents, to see his mother who had long mourned and prayed for his return.

And here we must draw the veil which ever hides the private matters of the family from the Dublic gaze. Mr. Kennedy, who is here on a leave of ab sence, we are told, has risen to the position of a Lieutenancy in the u. b. Kegular Army, and has been stationed of late in one of the distant Territories.

During the period of his absence he has been at sea, and served with credit during the late war. Easton Daily Ires Frets. The Dayton, Ohio, Journal, of Tuesday, says It is just two months since old Mr. Brown, the veteran cordwamer, tasted food. have this on the solemn word of himself and family.

During this time he asserts he was fed by the spirits, but their food was so ethereal that he rapidly leu away from a robust constitution to almost a skeleton. Yes terday morning, however, the spirits ceased their visits as provisioned, and Mr. Brown, being thus cut off from his "heavenly man na," recovered his appetite. May his shad ow increase.

W. BARR A SONS, may7 dtf Auctioneers. A CARD FROM THE AMERICAN WATCH COMPANY, WALTHAM, MASS. This company beg leave to inform the public that they commenced operations in 1850, and their factory now covers four acres of ground, and has cost more than a million dollars, and employs over 700 operatives. They produce 75,000 Watches a year, and make and sell not less than one half of all the watches sold in the United States.

The difference between their manufacture and the European, is briefly this European Watches are made almost entirely ly hand, and the result is of necessity a lack of that uniformity, which is indispensable to correct time keeping. Both the eye and the hand of the most skillful operative must; vary. But it is a faot that except watches of the higher grades, European watches are the product of the cheapest labor of Switzerland, and the result is the worthless Ancres, Lepinea, and so called Patent Levers which soon cost more in attempted repairs, than their original price. Common workmen, boys and women, buy the rough separate parts of these watohes from various factories, polish and put them together, and take them to the nearest watch merchant, who tamna and eneravea thm with noma that may be ordered. HOW AMERICAN WATCHES ARE MADE.

The American Waltham Watch is made by no such uncertain process and by no such incompetent workmen. AU the company's operations, from the reception of the raw materials to the completion of the Watch, are carried on under one roof, and under one skillful and competent direction. But the great distinguishing feature ef their watohes is the fact that their several parts are all made by the finest, the most perfect and delicate machinery every brought to the aid of human industry. Every one of the more than a hundred parts of every watch is made by a machine that infallibly reproduoea every succeeding part with the most unvarying accuracy. It was enly necessary to make one perfect watch of any particular style and then to adjust the hundred machines necessary to reproduoe every part of that watch, and it follows that every succeeding watch must be like it.

The company respectfully submit their watohes en their meritt only. They olaim to make A BETTER ARTICLE FOR THE MONEY by their improved meohanical processes than can be made under the old fashioned handicraft system. They manufacture watches of every grade, from a good, low priced, and substantial article, ia solid silver hunting cases, to the finest chronometer; and also ladies' watohes in plain gold or the finest en ameled and jeweled cases; but indispensable requisite of all their watches is that they shall be GOOD TIMEKEEPERS. It should be remembered that, except their single lowest grade, named "Home Watch Company. Boston," all watches ARE FULLY WARRANTED by a special certificate, and this warrantee is good at all times against the company or its agents.
