HHAT THE POTTER INVESTIGATION"
HAS ACCOMPLISHED.
The Potter investigation is not
near its end, but the noliday recess
of the committee affords a fair op
portunity to consider what it has al
ready accomplished.
Mr. Sherman has been entangled
in a net of circumstantial evidence,
to sav nothing of that which is di
rect, but disputed, from which extri
cation seems impossible ; and Mr.
Stanley Matthews is buried beyond
resurrection under the weight of his
own letters.
It is no light matter for the pur
poses of investigation that the Dem
ocrats have been able to show the
character of the men who have been
managers of tbe Republican party in
the south. It was known that there
were villians among them, and now,
so far as Louisiana is concerned, the
theoiy that there were any excep
tions has been well nigh disproved.
The Jenkses, Webers, Andersons,
Pitkins, Pinkstons, and the rest
tell their own stories, and no more
is needed to disclose their depravity.
There can be no more Striking illus
tration of the straits of Republican
partisans than bhe fact that whether
these people testify for or against
them they are obliged to admit their
knavisbness. The more an Ander
son or a Weber is denounced, the
stronger is the indictment of the
Republican party, of which they
have been the evangelists. Ceitain
ly it is an anomaly ki polities that if
you flog a Democratic witness you
cripple a Republican statesman.
At last the true inwardness of the
southern political situation of 1876
is understood by the whole country,
and although the picture may be
painted a good deal blacker, as well
It might be, in truth, it cannot be
more effective. No candid man, Re
publican or Democrat, will now de
ny that the States of Florida, and
Louisiana tcere wrongfully counted
for Hayes in pursuance of a conspira
cy originating with certain members
of the National Republican Corwnit-
Ue. executed by Returning Boards un
der the '■ depuration of visiting states-
Men, and under the protection of the
army of the United States.
An investigation which has ac
complished this much toward elicit
ing the truth cannot be said to have
bom begun in vain.— Philadelphia

For the Journal.
BELLETONTJC, Julv 15th. 1878.
The plarioutfourth, with its music and
fire-works lias passed, and leaves our town
again to the quiet husiness pursuits of its
staid inhabitants, and the manipulations of
politicians. Except "second crop potato
bugs." politicians are most numerous.
Every one almost wants an office, or has a
friend who would like to serve the dear peo-
Ble4n some capacity, of course, not because
ley want office, but because the people
want them.
This mania for office has, to say the least,
become a nuisance. Most every other man
you meet is a candidate and immediately
commences to press his claims for the par
ticular nomination he may be seeking. One
man has been an old war horse ; another
has friends who have grown gray in the ser
vice of his party : while a third is young yet
but his gratid father, his father and all his
relatives iias constantly voted the right ttck
aand so on adfinttvum. These things are
right and proper, and no doubt most of
these men would make good officials, but
Unfortunately far them there are not enough
offices to reaeh jound and give them each a
■slice, and so some must be disappointed. No
-ddubt the countj offices would be as well
filled if there were a great many less candi
dates. There would certainly be less an
moyance to these seeking office as well as to
jthe people of the county ; but every <one
- will Insist that he is the proper man and will
hot gtve way.
\ .The system of going over the county "ftor
-fng" people is not only an an noysuioe but it
is certainly injurious to the interests of the
party. Every .candidate has something to
fay about his competitor, pnd by the time
(tie convention meets the feeling thus cre
ated is so bitter that the successful candi
dates will receive but a lukewarm support
from these with whom the nominations
were contested, and in some cases even re
ceive the direct opposition of beaten candi
dates ; especially nas this been so wlien
•Yer■ we had to fill all the county offices, as
- Whe the case this falL AJI tins would be
•woidedL if there were not so many aspirants.
.Candidates who have theinterests of the
iP£rty at heart, and who are anxious to have
their oym interests advanced, should guard
ntt?**"" I* l every way possible. If they
IPtr 0 and B ® r "P the same bitter
feeiliig that has heretofore existed between
the different factions} the county ticket will
be in great danger of being defeated. Espi
k XiaQs aoes this apply to Sheriff, Prothonota
- ry and Treasurer. The Republicans are al
ready looking to a fusion with the Nationals,
ter which they expect to capture part of the
offices, and unless the Democratic candi
dates pursue a different course from what
they are doing now, this Republican scheme
will lie paitiaTlv, if not entirely successful.

A VETERAN TEAM IN TIIE
GRAIN FIELD.—Tbe united age of
the following "harvest hands," who

Foust, 75 yrs. ; Samuel Schoch, 72 ;
Geo. Spyker, 65 ; Peter Snyder, 60 ;
Reuben Detweiler, 55 ; E. Yearick,

The Beliefonte Republican tl inks
tlieie is a growing sentiment among
Republicans to nominate General
Grant in 1880.
Let the sentiment continue to
grow bv all means. Let every whis
key ringster, salary-grabber, every
political thief, scoundrel and rascal
chime in and they may succeed to
nominate him ; but honest people,
whether Republicans or Democrats,
have enough and over enough of
Grantism. Ulyssus will never have
a third term.
SWEARING. —lf you are some
times tempted to indulge in the low,
vulgar habit of swearing, think first
of the drvine law which says, "Thou
shalt not take the name of the Lord
thy God in vain." If that is not
sufficient to restrain you, the civil
law might be if it were oftener en
forced :
"If any person of the age of six
teen or upwards shall profanely
curse or swear by the name of God,
Jesus Christ, or the Holy Ghost, any
person so offending, being thereof
convicted,, shall forfeit and pay the
sum of sixty seven cents for every
such profane curse or oath, etc.,
and further, any person of the age
of sixteen years and upwards who
shall curse or swear by any other
names or tiring, shall forfeit to pay
the sum of forty cents for every such
curse or oath ; and for any neglect
to pay, he oi she shall be committed
to the house of correction of the
proper county, not exceeding twen
ty-four hoius."
To further this end the Republicans have
secured prominent and vounß, working
members of their party In all the Democra
tic townships of Pcnns and Nlttany Valleys,
totadvocste the Greenback-National faith,
and thereby Indnce Democrats to Join the
Nationals. This will not only enable the
Republicans to carry the proposed fusion
county ticket, hut every Democrat thus cap
tured will be a loss of one vote on the stato
ticket, while every Republican Green hacker
will see to It that he votes the Republican
ticket straight. Thi* Plan tea* hatched w
thlf town by leading Republican* and a few
leading Rational *, or rather—would IH
leaders, and unless the Democrats arc on the
lookout serious Inroads will thus be upon the
Democratic majority in the county at our
next election.
This state of affairs makes it necessary for
the Democrats to commence to fight the com
mon enemy, and rrot quarrel and light
among themselves, xn hoc est and earnest
contest for the different nominations can
not do any Injury; but we must not forget In
our canvassing lor nominations, that a nom
ination may not be emiivalent to an elec
tion, as formerly. What Is needed uow Is
less zeal In trying to get this or that candi
date nominated, and a little more -work to
strengthen our lines for the election. What
sense is there In nominating a ticket when
we at th e same time dig the grave to bury it
In at the election. Candidates and their
friends are particularly interested4n guard
ing against tills, and unless they do. their
time and trouble may be spent in vain, even
If thev should be nominated. First see to it
that the ranks are unbroken, ami every man
ready to do his duty, then select leaders-that
will 6e satisfactory to those ready to do
battle.

It looks very much as if Mr.
Hayes, anxious to divert the at
tention of the people from his own
sins, intended getting up a war wit h
Mexico. He has issued orders for

follow marauding Mexicans across
tl>e river and kill or c:\pture them
wherever found. The Mexican gov

this procedure and war may be the
consequence.

CAMP MEETING CLOSED. —Wo

ly. Two of the colored "gemmen*
came to a misunderstanding as re
giiixls the finances, and a knock
down argument was the result. The
superintendent of the concern, Mr.
Williamson, who is looked up to sis
the blackest sheep in the dock, it ap
pears attempted a little crookedness,
when one of the honest of the flock
knocked him down. "Divine or no
divine'' he took to mother earth for
his sinful conduct. Those who were
so sincere in their devotions are not
responsible for this act not on the

He was the founder of Eastman
Business University, whose fame is
worldwide, where many of those
now in the active pursuits of life in
tlvis country were educated, and also
foreign countries contributed a large
fraction of those in attendance,
more particularly South America
and the West Indies. This was the
lifetime object and study of the foun
der continuously perfecting its de
tail, as ex|>erienee and observation
would teach, nntil it became what it
now is, the best and most popular
institution of its kind In the coim

ally termed a life Yankee, possessed'
of an unlimited amount of energy,

and carrying out more, emerged by
his own exeitions from poverty anil
obscurity, made the place of his
adoption what it is, and in a busi
ness JK)int of view one of the best
models and examoles that American
youth can follow. The Alumni
will always feel proud of this Alma

A Wonderful Invention.
[From the N. Y. Dally Graphic.]
An invention all frugal wives will appre
ciate—in fact, an article that even rivals
the sewing machine in usefulness—is now
on exhibition at the Broadway store of the
Wilson Sewing Machine Company. In
this city ; yet It is so wonderfully simple
that it can scarcely be classed as an in
vention, and a wonder to everybody that
it was not discovered years ago. Tne in
vention consists of a very simple little at
tachment of the Wilson shuttle sewing
machine for darning all kinds of rips,
worn-out places, eet_, in clothing, tabic
and bedlfuou, stockings, underwear etc ,
in tlie same manner that It is done by
hand, und leaves the repaired part scarce-'
ly discernible. The operator of the sew
ing machine cun darn a large-sized hole
in a bed sheet or table cloth almost in
stantaneously. It is to lie regretted,
however, that tills wonderful Invention is
patented and owned by the Wilson Sew
ing Machine Company, of Chicago, 111.,
who will not permit ;lts use except with
one of its muke o/sewing machines, which'
the Company's manager states, is furuLsli
ed each of the Wilson shutt sewing ma-'
chine .without, extra price. Truly, this is
a golden nest egg for the Wilson Sewing
Machine Company, and, it is said, they are
running their works day and night and
making and selling 300 machines a day. .
