As Jas. P. - .Coburn was the only one
who voted aeiinst the surrender of the
Charter of the L. C. & S. C. Railroad
company to.-kbe Penn'a Central, of all
the-Directme of that Co., and then all
our people t,vored that coiuse, and
now all look I:ci the Penn'a Co. to aid
them in building the road, we do not.
see exactly vlliy Coburn is villified and
abused by our so-called Democratic
enntemport*s, The Atlantic and
Great Western failed, and the.• Direc
tors en the East end, having been in
fluenced by. their desire to secure the
Railroad anParriage bridge to Lew ,
isburg, having a majority, did surren
der the Charter to the Penn'a compa
ny, but did ns t. sell it. Coburn oppos
ed the surrender and voted against it
even alone.
We assert that he has expended
more money - lin travelling along the
line of this x•oad to secure rights of
way, get FubtSiptious, and aid in put
ting the enterprise forward than any
one now liviirg in Pennsvalley.
We assert, - moreover, that j. G.
Moyer has done nothing in aid of the
enterprise, aid that he owns as much
real estate,and is as much interested as
Coburn.
We say in addition, tbatJ. G. Moy
ea has not brains enough to be of any
material service to the road, either at
home or at Harrisburg.
We say that all he can do is to take
stock, and that he is too niggardly to
do.
We say that the Watchnzan lks,aa d
the Reporterplays monkey for that O
rgan, and hands around the libels instead
of the cap. We give these so-called
nctsspaperm fair notice that unless they
have something better to urge against
Coburn and Cadwallader; Hess and
Butts, Rote and Barr, we shall elect
them all, anti' that, too, by the votes
of independf, it Democrats.
As to CUT, he is entirely safe, •as
no great number of . Democrats ever
thought of electing Morrison, though
they felt like flatteling the old man
with a nomination, on which lie had
set his heart.
A FEW days since it was hera'ded
through -out Pennsylvania that a large
party of New Yorkers and Jersey
men had "serenaded Asa Packer" at
his aristocratic residence in Manch
Chunk, and afterwards were shown
through the handsomely furnished
parlors of the Democratic candidate
for Governor. In ordinary times
there would have been no objeetion
to all this; but in the present case it
proves conclusively that the New
Yorkers aro deeply interested in
Packer's election. The New York
shareholders in corporations in this
State have for some years been striv
ing to have the State tax removed
from their stocks, on the ground of
non-residence ; but our State auth—
orities have held them to it for the
good reason that as they draw their
profits from this State they should
assist in paying the State expenses.—
Asa Packer's business connections are
principally with these New York
capitalists; they hold a largo amount
of 'stock in his Lehigh Valley railroad,
and in the large coal companies in
the Lehigh country, which he con
trols.
The coal transported from Pennsyl
vania over the Lehigh Valley railroad
to New York pays at the present time
FOUR CENTS ON EVERY TON
OF COAL. This tax was • laid on
foreign corporations in lieu of the
STATE TAX ON FARM LANDS, and if it
is removed, which will be done as
sure as Packer is elected, the farmers
and poor lot holders of Pennsylvania
will again be compelled to pay a
STATE TAX ON THEIR 11011iES and
every foot of ground they may pos
sess.
For the purpose of accomplishing
their object, New York repeaters will
again be shipped over here to vote
for Packer. They have already been
traced to Philadelphia, and it be
hooves every honest voter t,o..watoh .
every newcomer that moves:into hip
neighborhood. .Let none but, honest
voters he allowed a ballot at the next
election !
AsA 'PACKER, the Democratic can
didate for Governor, . calls upon his
followers to deny the right ofsuffrage
to the colored men of Ptnnsylvania,
while the whole body of the Demo
cratic party of I.Vlississippi are suppor
ting a colored - man for Secretary of
State. .
IT will be an evil day when money
makes a man Governor or President.
It may work on a small scale, but
Pennsylvania will prefer a man of
moderate means and aini to a grasping
millionaire.

sons who are not legal voters. It is made
the duty of each assessor to commence
the revision of this list on the first Mon
day of June in each year. He is requir
ed,
1. To strike from this list the name of
every person who is known by him to
have died, or removed from his district,
since the last previous assessment, or in
other words, since the said list was made
out.
2. Ile shall also strike from the said
list the names of all such persons as
shall have been made known to him to
have died or removed from the district;
3. He shall add to the same list the
names of such persons as he shall know
to be qualified voters, and who shall be
known by him to have removed into the
district since the last previous • assess
ment.
4. He shall also add to such list the
names of such persons, qualified voters,
as shall be made known to him to have
removed into said district since the last
previous assessment.
Under this 4th article it is proper to
remark that assessors should add to the
list the names of no person . ncd known to
them Without satisfactory evidence that
such persons had not only moved into
the district since the last previous as
sessment, but also that they were legal
voters.
5. He shall also add to the said list
the names of all persons who shall make
claims to him to be qualified voters in his
district.
And here again under this sth article,
it is proper to say that the assessor
should not add to his list the name of
any person making claim to him to be .a
qualified voter in his district if the as
sessor knows him to be either a non
resident of the district, or, if a resident,
not be a legal voter. And if the person
making such claim be wholly unknown
to the assessor, it is his duty to require
of the person so claiming to have his
name added to ithe list, clear rind satis ; '-
factory proof, both of his residence with
in the district, and of his legal right to
vote.
6. So soon as the assessor shall have
completed the revision of his list in the
manner before stated, it is his duty to
take his list, so revised; and visit every
dwelling house in his district, and as
certain, by careful inquiry, if any per
son whose name still remains on his
list has died or removed from the dis
trict, and, if so, to strike such namefrom
the list. He will also carefully inquire
so as to ascertain whether any qualified
voter resides in his district whose name
is not on the list, and if so; to add such
name to his list. The assessor should be
careful to add no name to hie list with
out being fully satisfied, either from his
own personal knowledge, or from satis
factory evidence, that the person whose
name is so added to the list is a legal
voter, and a Lona fide resident of the dis
trict..
7. In all cases of the addition of a
name to his list by the assessor, he shall
assess a tax forthwith- to such person;
and the assessor shall, in all such cases,
ascertain by inquiry, upon what ground
the person so assessed claims to be a TO-
From this provision of the act it will
be at once seen the duty of the assessor
is to see personally, in all cases of ad
ditions to the list, every person whom he
registers within his district. He should
register the name of no person, at the in
stance or request of a third party, but
only at the instance of the person to be
registered himself, and then only upon
the personal knowledge of the assessor
of the applicant's right to register, or
upon sufficient evidence of such right.
S. Upon the completion of the regis
tration, the assessor is to prepare an al
phabetical list of the white freemen,
above twenty-one years of age, claiming
to be qualified voters in his district, and
opposite each name he shall state wheth
er such alleged voter is or is not a house
keeper, and if a housekeeper, he shal
note the street, and number of his house
if lying in a town whore the houses . al
numbered, or the names of the street
alleys or court, if in ajown where
houses are not numbered: . .

hibits to him his certificate of nt
zation, unless such person shai

secutive years next preceding such
ristration.

name shall be marked "D. I."
H. When the person registered claims
to vote because of his being between the
ages of twenty-one and twenty-two, the
assessor, at the time of registering him,
should write oppcsite his name the word
"age."
12. If the person registered has moved
into the district to reside, since the last
general election, the assessor should

13. Upon the completion of the list of
registration and assessment by the as
sessor, it is made his duty, by the
second section . of 'the act, forthwith to
return the same to the commissioners of
the county, who should cause duplicate
copies of the said list, with the observa•
tions and explanations, to be made as
soon as practicable, which duplicate
copies they are to place in the hands of
the assessor, whose duty it is made to put
one copy thereof on the door of, or on
the house where the election of the dis
trict is required to beheld, and to re
tain the other in his possession for the
•inspection of any voter in the district
who may desire to see the same.
14. It is further made the duty of each
assessor, from time to time, to add, on
the personal application of any one
claiming the right to vote, the name of
such. claimant, marking opposite the
name "C. V.," meaning, thereby, that
the person-claims a right to vote, and
immediately to assess•such person with
a tax, noting, as in all other cases, his
occupation, residence, whether a boarder
or housekeeper; if a boarder, with whom
he boards, and whether naturalized or
designing to be naturalized.
15. Any person so claiming to be as
sessed and registered, who has been, or
claims to have been naturalized, shall,
at the time ho applies to be assessed, ex

We believe no apology is required for
the naration of the following amusing
scene in Pennsvalley. Tho droll circum
stances—prominence of one of the char
acters, and earnest manner of tho other,
combine to give the affair a dash of lu
dicrousness not often reached in the
highways and lanes of Pennsvalley. One
party to the transaction was a no less
distinguished gentleman than Dr. Wil
son,-father of the wife of our very able
'Minister to Russia, ex-Governor Curtin.
The other character was a smalll2 year
old boy belonging to the International
Hippo Comique Circus. The provoca
iion for the dialogue arose in this wise.
A small trick pony had escaped from the
small boy, and made off at the utmost
stretch.of his short legs into . this lane.—
The small boy was detailed to capture
him, and re-join the company. It was
warm; the boy ditto; and his expressions
of condemnation of the reprehensible con
duct of the pony were very heated.. In
fact; . he'swore; anathematized like Peter
Bell of old. Discovering the Doctor, our
young tumbler - halted, when the follow- . ,
jag colloquy occurred: .
Doctor—Why, little boy, I am sur
prised and pained to bear such words
coming from so small a boy. Were you
taught to swear at home ?
Boy-L-No, Sir. I was raised in Ohio,
and my mother always told me not to
swear; drink, gamble or steal. That
was pretty good advice, wasn't it, Cap.

Doctor—Yes that was right; but why
don't you heed the advice ?
Boy—Fact is, I'm with this'ere circus,
and our fellers swear like h-1 all the
while. 1 don't know whether they mean
anything by it, or not; but hearing them
so much, I've got into the habit. But
what are you doing here; where do you
live ?
Doctor—Oh, I've no regular place to
stay, but-manage to get in Somewhere.
Boy—That's too bad; you're such an
old man. Have you got any family ?
Doctor—Yes, a large one.
Boy—Where are they ?
Doctor—Scattered all over the world.
' Boy—That's a big piece of ground on
which to have one's family. How old are
ye ?
Doctor—Sixty-seven.
Boy—Aint none of yer children ter
hum ao'st to take keer of ye?
Doctor—No, they are married and
nattered about.
Boy—(putting his hand in his pocket
and fumbling about) Now, see 'ere; I'm
a yoting man, and you are old. I can
get along without it; can earn more; in
fact, have got more; and you take this
'ere five cents. It may help ye, and I
shan't miss it.
Doctor—No, thank you; I've plenty for
what I need:
Boy—Don't have any feelings about
taking it; just is well have it as not; and
every little helps. I may be out of cash
myself some day; and five cents is better
ter have than none.
