Slippery Fellows.
We had occasion last week to pro
pound a few questions to the Harris
burg Patriot and State Guard in re
lation to a list of names, published in
the Guard and copied in the Patriot,
containing, as they alleged, the name 3
of the "honest members" of the last
Legislature. The Patriot, conscience
smitten, and, no doubt, ashamed of
the injustice it - did, not only to the
members whose names it published,
but to those it did not publish, at
tempts an explanation. It charges us
with garbling "the article copied from
the Patriot, so as to make it appear
that we intended to complete the State
Guard's list of honest men, by adding
the*.names of Messrs. CLARK and
BRowN," and then proceeds to quote
what it did say, and its very quotation
corroborates our statement, and casts
a deeper and blacker suspicion upon
that beautiful pair of noble brothers,
the Editors of the Patriot and State
Guard. The editor of the Patriot ad
mits that he copied the State Guard's
list of "honest men," and admits that
he suggested the addition of "the name
of Hon. J. R. CLARK, of Warren,
whom we regard as one of the purest
men in the Legislature. Hon, JAMES
C. BROWN, of Mercer, also made a
good record,especially on the tax-bill."
This is in substance what we said; but
the Editor of the Patriot attempts a
distinction without any difference. It
always requires sharp practice to cover
up, or work out of dirty little scrapes.
Why did the Patriot not think of the
name of P. G. MEEK, and say that it
might be "safely" added to the Guard's
list. Bah ! In publishing the Guard's
list of "honest men," and suggesting
the addition of two names, we ask the
Patriot, did you not endorse the list,
and the two names you added, and
thus, by insinuation at least, admit that
all of the other members of the Legis
lature -:ere dishonest men? This is the
only legitimate inference. You and
tie Guard endorsed and approved W.
WALLACE and C. J. P. MCINTIRE,
and by neglecting to insert the names
of J. K. ROBISON, our own Senator
from this District, and P. G. MEEK,
the Democratic member from this Co.,
you disapprove their course and create
the suspicion that they were dishonest
men.
But the Patriot says • 'we have de
nounced those who, in our judgement,
merited denunciation, and as a gener
al rule, refrained from editorial eulogy
on those who merited praise, acting on
the principle that "good wine needs no.
bush.' "
Now, we argue that this statement
is not correct, and that we have prov
ed that the Editor of the Patriot is
without good judgement, or he would
not have published the Guard's list.
We argue that by adding two addi
tional names to that list he not only
approved it, but showed conclusively
that his judgement was at fault, or the
only other inference, his purse was well
filled. Either horn of the dilemma,sir;
choose ye ! Again : You have, to our
knowledge, denounced but one mem
ber, and he a Democrat, while you
have been pretty lavish of your praise
and"editorial eulogy" on others. Your
eulogy of P. G. MEEK in your recent
article, conies with poor grace at this
late day, and your course in relation to
the subject in question makes your eu
logies rather a doubtful honor. Oth
ers, perhaps. may think differently ;
but we would .certaiply prefer your cell
sure to your praise, It is so hard for
a Democratic Editor to tell the truth,
or even adhere to-day to what he prin
ted yesterday, that an honest man's
character cannot easily he injured by
anything which may emenate from that
source ; but we are sorry that our old
friend of the State Guard has suffer
ed himself to get into, to any degree,
r to any extent, such shabby and
doubtful company. We again ask that
lie make the antendehonoarble by do
ing J. K, ROBISON, and other honest
and pure members of the Legislature,
justice.

Judge Henry W. Williams.
Thy Harrisburg State Guard,in re
ferring to the fact that Jugie Wil
liams is now sitting on the Supreme
Bench at Harrisburg for the first time
since his appointment, pays him the
following compliment : It is but simple
justice to say he fully maintains his
well earned reputation as a. jurist ac
quired in the western part of the State,
by years of faithful duty on the Bench
of the District Court of the county of
Allegheny. His dignified and patient
hearing of all questions, his uniform
courtesy to counsel, his vigor of body
and mind, and his evident capacity for
labor, and the learning and ability dis
played in his written opinions, all unite
to proclaim him "the right man in the
right place;" and point him out as ev
ery way worthy the public confidence,
and the high regard in which he is held
by the Republican party. As our read
ers are aware, he now holds his seat
only by appointment of Governor Gea
ry, in the place of Judge Strong, who
some months ago resigned. We are
ED TORS
of those who always considered him
fairly and honestly elected by the pop
ular vote in 1867: and that he failed
to get his commission by no fault of his
own, and for reasons we have frequent
ly explained and denounced in these
columns. This was both a public and
a private wrong, which should be cor-.
rected without delay, and if we mis
take not the signs of the times the day
of complete vindication is near at hand.
The Republican party and the friends
of social order owe it to themselves and
to the public to re-nominate Judge
Williams in June next, for Judge of
the Supreme Court, and to elect him
in October, by such an overwhelming
majority as will stand as a warning in
all time to come to those who, by cor
rupt means, would defeat the popular
will. We feel satisfied the Members of
the bar of all parties rejoice that the
seat on the Bench so honorably filled
by Judge Strong, is occupied by one so
able, efficient and courteous as Judge
The Irish and the Negroes
FVe look upon the following proceed
ings of a meeting of the Irish Repub
lican Association of Washington, City,
D. C., held on the 15th inst., as a
move in favor of right and justice.—
Our Irish citizens are becoming sensi
ble. The following resolution was
adopted:
Resolved, That we, the members of
the Irish Republican Association, fa
vor the nomination of a competent col
ored man on the general ticket.
The President of the meeting said
This is a step in the right direction,
and will tend to conquer a prejudice
which exists against the race in this
city—a prejudice from which the Irish
have suffered as well as the colored
people. But as both are armed with
I the ballot now, they can by acting to
gether, defend themselves against prej
udice and proscriptive rings. The en
emies of one race are the enemies of
the other, and the friends of one are
friends of the other. Those who ap
plied the lash so unmercifully to the
colored man's back tried in and out of
Congress to disfranchise the Irishmen
and those who have always advocated
the freedom of the colored man, such
as Sumner, Wilson, Banks and Chan
dler are advocates of the Irish to day
in Congress, and are calling John Bull
to account for his antagonism against
the United States, as well as against
Ireland. All the lives which were lost
and the blood which was shed for the
freedom of the colored people, and for
the preservation of the Union, amount
to nothing unless we vote as we fought,
viz : for freedom and Union. Remem
ber Daniel O'Connell, the " idol of
Ireland, the champion of the colored
race.' "
Will It Pay ?
The question is frequently asked,
says an exchange, in regard to the Pa
cific Railroad by business men and
others who have thought some on• the
subject. The query can be answered
better by figures than words. In 1%8
there were about one hundred ships
plying from the Atlantic Shore around
Cape Horn, the tonnage of which was
estimated at 80,000; of steamshipi
connecting with China and California
at Panama, there were .55, with a ton
nage of 120,000, -while the towage of
overland wagon trains, stages, etc.,
was about 30,000. Here we have 230,-
000 tons going westward two years ago.
The return tonnage by this time is ful
ly as much. We may, therefore, as
sume that the freight both ways to-day
is not less than 500,000 tons. Two
years ago there were transported to and
fro, over -all routes, per annum,ls4,ooo
passengers. If the general rule of the
increase of travel, which is deduced
from an examination of railroad statis
tics, holds good, when applied to the
Pacific road, these figures will be in
creased to at least 500,000. We have
then 500,000 passengers at $l5O each,
$75,000,000, and, deducting 200,000
tons to be-retained by the ocean routes,
300,000 tons of freight at,say $35,510,-
500,000 making a total of $85,000,000
gross proceeds for the whole road.—
This must be far above the running ex
penses, on capital, and wear and tear
of material, and we believe it to be not
an over-estimate of what the Pacific
railroad will earn in the year 1870, when
it will be in complete running order.
The history of railroads shows that the
longest lines pay the best, and we be
lieve that the Pacific road will prove no
exception.
A SEVERE gale passed over Galves

and slightly damaging cam,
Minister Curtin.
The nomination and confirmation of
Hon Andrew G. Curtin as Minister to
Russia, is hailed with delight by the
Republican press generally throughout
not only this State, but the whole
country. We do not know that Gov.
Curtin's is an exceptional case; but in
him is at least exemplified, in a re
markable degree, the fact that the no
blest and best-be-loved among men
cannot escape the shafts of envy, ha
tred and malice. There is a certain
clique of politicians within the lines of
the Republican party, which persist
ently makes Gov. CURTIN a target for
slanderous abuse and malignant mis
representation—assailing, not only his
record as'a public man, but even his
private character. It must be humili
ating, indeed, to these unscrupulous
defamers, to find that all their open
and secret attacks have been fruitless,
that their plagues have only returned
to curse the inventors, and that even
in the day of bribery and corruption,
sterling worth and genuine merit have
triumphed over venal chicanery, and
demagoguery, in the appointment and
confirmation of ANDREW G. Curtm,
to one of the most important missions
under our Government.
We do not think there is a Pennsyl
vanian, whose name is so deeply en
graven in the hearts of his fellow citi
zens of the State, as is that of Gov.
CURTIN. There is not a soldier, who
left his home to fight for the Stars and
Stripes of his country, but loves and
cherishes that name; and although
Senator CAMERON'S wisdom, patriot
ism and statesmanship, doubtless con•
tributed much to the welfare of the
country in the early clays of the late
rebellion, yet we feel constrained to
take issue with the honorable gentle
man in his assertion that Gov. CURTIN
is not the choice of the Republican
party of this State; for we feel satisfied
that in a-contest before the people-not
the politicians—Gov. C. would lead the
Sena+ five to one—at least if the voice
of the press, as we think it may, can
be taken as a fair index of popular
sentiment.— Tamaqua Journal.
A Few Points.
We clip the following from the Mif
flinburg lelegraph of the 13th inst. :
"We take notice that the Democrat
ic papers are endeavoring to make
capital against the Republicans of
Centre county for removing Maj. For
ster, who they now characterize as a
brave soldier "in the war for the Un
ion." Do they forget that for that
honorable service the Republicans
twice nominated and voted for the
Major for the Legislature, and he was
defeated by the Democrats, and de
nounced as an "abolitionist., a turn
coat and a renegade ?" Do they for
get that the Republicans gave him the
Assessorship for his meritorious ser
vices, which they now take away on
account of gross ingratitude and de
sertion to the very enemy whom be
professed so heartily to despise? Such
men have claims upon Gen. Grant's
Administration ! Why, sirs, if John
sonized Republicans were possessed of
any susceptibility they could hardly
look an honest Republican in the face,
much less ask political favors of him.
PETER HERDIC, of Williamsport, is
announced as a Republican candidate
for Governor. —Montrose Republican.
Well ! If uncle Peter gets hold of
the crank of the Gubernatorial ma
chine, you may bet your last nickle
there will be lively work. —Lewisburg
Chronicle.
His conduct last winter gives evidence
of his capacity to make a live
Radical Governor, but the Good Lord
deliver us from any more such rascali—
ty.—Jersey Shore _Herald.
Poor SEELY ! Are you afraid PETER
would then lessen your ration of "Pea
Nuts" ? Don't get uneazy Col., for if
"PETE" should be the "favored one"
he would not be so cruel to such small
"fry."
THE Meadville Republican says :
" The people of Pennsylvania not be
ing sufficiently cursed with the influ
ence which Railroad corporations al
ready exert in State legislation, the
Democratic party will probably give
itself over, body and soul, to the rail
road ring. and nominate Gen. Cass as
their standard bearer next fall. With
the railroad King as Governor, it
might be policy to abolish the legisla
tive branch of the government, and
let the railroad corporations ra sa the
machine to snit their own notions,"
Do NOT our friends of the Bellefonte
Republican know that Mr. Wallace is
a member of the Committee on the
State Library?.—Harrisbur✓ Telegraph,
We confess we had over-looked that
fact ; but P. G. MEEK was a member
of the same Committee in the House,
yet he is classed among the dishonest
members. The explanation is not sat
isfactory. Had Mr. MEEK no power
as a member of the Library Commit
tee? The State Guard owes an ex
planation to the Republican press of
the State.
THE Hollidaysburg Register says :
"Prominent among the candi
dates mentioned for the nomination
for governor in this State, is General
Harry White, of Indiana. The Gen.
is acknowledged an able statesman
and a gallant soldier, and would, be
yond doubt, grace the Gubernatorial
chair with dignity, but we can't in
dulge him this time, as we lave the
present able Governor Geary to return
to that post this fall, and we'll do it,
sure."

The Nomination for Governor.
The question of nominating a Re
publican Governor is now eliciting
much discussion. The candidates are
Gov. Geary, Major Gen. Hartranft,
Hon. W. W. Ketcham, Hon. G. Daw
son Calman, Gen. Harry White and
Gen. Selfridge. It is said by the
knowing ones that thus far Gov. Gea
ry has a majority of the delegates,on
ly one-third having been elected, and
that the action of the Republicans of
Lancaster, Chester, Delaware, Berks,
Bucks, Lebanon and the tier border
ing counties on or near Montgomery
(the home of Gon. Hartranft) will
have the power to decide the nomina
tion. This may or may not be true,
but true it is that many active
politicians are shaping their course
upon this presurni)tion, and it is hav
ing nearly all the force of truth ; so
that it looks now as though the con•
test for the nomination will be between
Geary and Hartranft. With the
claims of the former all are familiar,
and those of the latter are being pret
ty generally discussed. Some impor
tant information is comprised in the
following paragraph, taken from the
Norristown _Herald:
e `Gen.Hartranft has given such uni
versal satisfaction as Auditor General
of the State—having been twice cho
sen by the people to serve in that ca
pacity by most flattering majorities—
and has withal such a commendable
soldier record, that in all parts of the
Commonwealth we see his name earn
estly canvassed in this connection.
We have not observed a single Re
publican journal that contained aught
against his nomination, and whilst the
press generally commend our present
Governor, no opportunity is lost to re
commend Hartranft in the most sig
nificant terms. We have heard it said
that should he receive the nomination
it would necessitate another election'
for Auditor General, and thus give
our political opponents an opportuni
ty to select his successor. This, how
ever, is a mistake, it being the duty
of the Governor to fill the vacancy in
the office of Auditor General for the
balance of the term. As a citizen of
Montgomery county. Gen. Hartranft
has, of course, the special desire of
her Republicans for such promotion
as his distinguished services,both civ
il and military, justly demand."
The selection of the convention wil
probably rest between Geary and Har
tranft, and we have faith in the pow
of the Republican party to elect eith
er of tlem, cr any good nominee.
Gubernatorial Candidates.
Some of the Republican cotempo
rules are naming their special favor'
ites for the Gubernatorial nomination
on the 23 of June. Thus far Goren.
nor Geary has received the most lib
eral newspaper support, but the Belle
fonte Republican is in favor of nomi
nating Gen. John F. Hartranft, the
present Auditor General. The Hunt
ingdon Globe has brought forward
Hon. D. J. Morrell, the member' of
Congress for that district. The Lu
zern° people urge their favorite lead
er W. W. Ketcham, while Indiana
will press Gen. Harry White. The
Lehigh Register presents Gen Sel ,
fridge. Up to this time there has
been a very kind feeling evinced tow
ards all the candidates named.. Ap
parently all are willing to sacrifice any
personal preference for the good of
the common cause in the success of
the candidate nominated, whoever he
may be, and we have no disposition
to disturb that quiescent kindliness
which exists on all sides.
Our Democratic friends on the sur
face are getting along quite as harmo
niously, but beneath it there is con
siderable jangling. Both their can
didates are worth millions-the amount
Senator Sprague expressed his con
tempt for, and when the " stuff" is
about, lively times may always be ex
pected, among the clean and unwash
ed Democracy. Judge Packer is not
disposed to take kindly the way some
of the wire-workers are trying toshove
him off the track for Gen. Cass (a pa
per General), of Pittsburg. Cass is
going to win ; he knows better how to
use his. millions than Judge Packer.
With either Cass or Packer as the
candidate of the Democracy they will
have "the stuff" to keep the "boys"
in good spirits, and they will no doubt
make the campaign a lively one.—
