SCHURZ is stalwart and aggressive. IN Yerniont the Greenbackers are losing ground. SCHTJRZ'S speech is a document that will make a favorable impression. WILL any Democrat undertake to reply to the speech of Carl Schurz IT is rather late for the Copperhead party to come to the front on a war basis. SENATOR BLAINE has written to General Garfield, assuring him of his support.

THE Eepublican party presents a more solid front to-day than at any' time since 1860. DEMOCRATIC brag does not alarm the Eepublicans in the least. It is worn out thunder. THE loyal soldier, in the coming campaign, as in the late war, will follow where Grant leads. THE Democrats should circulate Commissioner Davenport's testimony as a campaign document.

WB1TE AWO MOSGROVK. General Harry White, of Indiana, and James Mosgrove, of Armstrong county, are the contestants before the people of this Congressional District for a seat in Congress. Gen. White has served his people in the Senate of Pennsylvania for several terms with the utmost fidelity, and with unflinching integrity, and his marked ability as a ready debater, and his devotion to the best interests of his constituents cannot be called in question. His course in Congress has been equally marked, circumspect and courageous; Always battling for the best interests of the whole people.

He is a gentleman of ability, affable, and agreeable, and a profound lawyer and' statesman. Gen. White has at all times exhibited a strong desire, and taken great pleasure in protecting the welfare and interests of his people, and whenever a measure of doubtful character presented itself in Congress, he rose in his seat at the first opportunity, and or favor took issue against the bill, and made for liimself a record for watchfulness and integrity, rarely developed in older members. It should be our ambition and purpose to see that our district is represented in Congress by a member possessed of strict integrity, intellegence, ability and varied experience, as, in the future Congress many bills, of very doubtful character, will be presented. The South, unmindful of our interests, will swarm Congress with bills for bounties, pensions and war indemnities for her people, and the only hope we can have in repelling a wholesale onslaught on the National Treasury will be in the selection of able and fearless leaders who will dare to battle for the right.

To secure an able, honest, indefatigable and unflinching member from this district, we call upon the voters of Indiana county to throw aside party bias and party fealty, and vote as a body for GENERAL HARRY WHITE James Mosgrove has not the required ability to make a useful, practical and safe member of Congress, and does not possess the requirements, integrity and experience necessary to constitute a useful member. THERE is no doubt but that the State of New York will again take its place at the head of the Eepublican column. ENGLISH, Democratic candidate for Vice President, admits that the State of Indiana is doubtful for the Democrats. HANCOCH paid the sage of Gramercy Park a visit a few days ago. We can now look for his letter of acceptance in a few days.

SERETARY SHERMAN has placed himself at the disposal of the Eepublican committee, and will make several speeches during the campaign. PRESIDENT HAYES will go to California and the Pacific coast early in September, and will make several speeches in the in- tereat of Garfield and Arthur. A CORRESPONDENT or the Pittsburg Dispatch claims that Simon Cameron "pooled" Don, and brought him around for Garfield. Nonsense! Don Cameron was reared a Ee- publican, and under no circumstances could he be induced to suffer the election of the inexperienced Hancock and the defeat of Garfield. His political sumersaults, within the recol- It was only the people gathering THE bloody scenes of 1876 and '78 are likely to be again repeated in the State of if the Republican party makes rany effort to put a ticket formally in the field during the present campaign.

THE President has appointed Gen. Henry S. Huidekoper, of Germantown, postmaster at Philadelphia, vice ex-Governor Hartranft, resigned. Gen. Huidekoper the Bucktail Eegimentat Get- lysburg, when he lost his right arai.

WE doubt very much whether Southern Democratic newspapers will add materially to the popularity of Hancock by calling our candidate Garfish. We do know that their Democratic brethren north made very thin capital for themselves by calling our soldiers "Lincoln hirelings." True, a debt of gratitude should not be dishonored and let go to protest, and, no doubt, this cheap investment pays the debt of gratitude due the northern brethern, but, by no means, does it liquidate the large indebted- nc-s due by Southern gentlemen to numerous mercantile friends in New York and Philadelphia, for gratitude shown the "chivalry" previous to 1860. lection of many voters of this and adjoining counties, justify us in doubting his in- tegritv. You all remember his attempt at Greenback speech-making two years ago. He then pledged himself an open and ayowed Greenbacker, possessing full and entire sympathy with that party.

In the fall of 1879 James shook off all ties that honorably bound him to respect the above pledge, and repudiated the party that so cordially and honestly supported him for Congress in 1878, and wheeled into line -with the Democratic party against the Greenback element, and the result was an entire uprooting of the Greenback party in Armstrong county. Look at the insignificant vote that county gave our townsman, James A. C. Ruffner, and you have the truth of our assertion in a Again put in nomination for Congress, that same James Mosgrove, with all his backslidings and forgetfulness, asks Green backers and Democrats to elect him to Congress. In this county the Greenback paper puts Mosgrove up as a Greenback candidate, in other counties in the district he is recognized as the Democratic candidate by the Democratic papers.

When not before the voters as a candidate for office, he puts on Democratic harness, and devotes his energies in bebalf of Democratic success, but, tendered a nomination by the Greenback party, he doffs the Democratic harness, and resolves that he is a Greenbacker. Hear him James Mosgrove, do pledge my sacred honor to support the platform of the National party," adopted at Toledo, Feb. 22d, 1878, and the principles set forth in the platform of the National Greenback Labor party of Pennsylvania, May 9th, 1878, and I further pledge myself as willing to use every honorable means TO ELECT THE STATE TICKET and to insure the SUCCESS of the NATIONAL LABOK GREENBACK PARTY, in tho Presidential contest of 1880. JAMES MOSGROVE." Let Democratic voters read the above pledge, recently made by Mr. Mosgrove, not only pledging to work and vote for the Greenback State ticket, but also pledging his "sacred honor" to work for and secure the election of Weaver for President.

A Greenbacker in 1878, a Democrat in 1879, and now, in the year of grace, 1880 pledging his "sacred honor" to use "every honorable means to elect" the Greenback State ticket, and to insure the success of the National Greenback Labor candidate, Gen. Weaver for President. Oh! Consistency, thou art a jewel. you tell with any degree of certainty, who this man Mosgrove will support for President He has pledged his "sacred honor" to oppose and vote against Gen. Hancock.

Will he do it Such base and unblushing treachery and bold-facedhypocricy deserves, and we honestly predict will receive, a proper condemnation at the polls, by the honest portion of the Greenback and Democratic voters throughout tho district. James Mosgrove has no fixed political principles, and, like the clown in the campus, wears two faces to gull innocent voters into his support. Furthermore, he is a large bondholder. and is largely interested in the banking business, besides being extensively engaged in manufacturing interests and corporations, thus severing all ties of fealty to the prin- In THE Pittsburg Dispatch takes great pleasure in its every-day abuse of Don Cameron, because of his adhesion to Gen. Grant in the Chicago Convention.

Cameron had a perfect right to give his support to the man of his choice. We are not, by any means, apologists for the Camerons, but the continuous babble about "Bosses" and "overthrows" is becoming as monotonous as the sentencG: "Nominated by the Pittsburg Dispatch!"

July 15, 1SSO, Cornelius. in Smickshurg, years. The deceased was long and honorably known not only in the village of Smicksburg, where he resided, but throughout the county. In him were combined more of the qualities that constitutes a useful citizen and a good man, than are usually found in one person. Ulfted by nature with a clear and penetrating intellect of such power as by its own efforts, in a good measure, to overcome the disadvantages of only a partial education, he succeeded in raising himself into prominence that commanded the attention of theentire county of Indiana, and was qualified to fill stations even higher than those in which he acted in the later years of his life.

His cool and accurate judgment made him a safe counsellor, either in business, or litigation, or conduct. The judicial cast of his mind, coupled with high conscientiousness, him to decide with legal precision the cases that came before him as Justice of the Peace, that it is said of him, that none of his decisions were ever reversed in superior court. But the crowning excellence of the man was his noble character. As a husband and father he was both affectionate and judicious; as iv citizen, patriotic, and upright; as a neighbor, peaceable, considerate and kind, as a man of business, diligent and reliable. Above all, 'Squire Lowe was a Christian, and Christian of no ordinary type.

He was one in whom daljy life could at all times be seen the meekness and gentleness of the Divine Master, whoso name he professed. In the church of which he was a member, (the Lutheran) he rendered the most important service, always with cheerfulness, and mostly from the spontaneous promptings of his own heart. He held himself ready at all times with his means and his labor to advance every good cause. He was one of the originators of the temperance and Sunday school work of Smicksburg, and labored in both till the last. His death was caused by paralysis.

During the last wlnier he was confined to his home, and part of the time to his bed, bv a paralytic affliction that came upon him gradually. But from this he re- covei ed in a great measure in about six weeks, so as to be able to go about the streets, and even do a little work. He resumed his place in the church and Sunday School and labored to the last. His last appearance in public life was at the monthly concert of the Sunday School of his church and the last words that fell from his lips then were, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain." Fitting close work and so much of it. Early the next morning hewas taken with a second stroke of paralysis; and this time suddenly and more severely.

At first speechless in a few hours he rallied and partly recovered his speech. We began to kope for his recovery once more; but from night he continued to decline until Thursday evening about 5 o'clock, when he peacefully breathed his hist. He had lived as a Christian, and he passed away from earth as a Christian. E. M.
