Radical tweaker of the Senate countil Jbrllrnf.
Walker.
Q. Do you own tho M.'Alllatcrvlllo
School?
A. I purchased tho M'Alllstervlllq
school In 1853. nnd continued it ns tin
academy until tho breaking out of tho
war, and until I enlisted my boys nnd
took them to tho nrmy; when I re
turned, wounded, I re-opened tlm school
nu nii.ncadeiny ; Dr.Burrowos prevailed
upon mo to tako soldiers' orjilinns j I
look them and conducted that school
until I was appointed to tako clmrgo of
tho orphan schools of tho, State, in
April, 1SC7. When Governor Geary
called mo and told mo ho intended ap
pointing moSuporlntendent of Soldiers'
Orphans, I told him I owned this school,
and that I would not fiacrifico It, but
wlillo owning It I would conduct It so
that I should not tako ono dollar from
that Institution in nny shape or form
that every' dollar that should accrue
from it lu nny woy should go towards
completing tho building then commenc
ed; with that understanding I told him
I would ncccptthonppolntmcnt; with
out It I could not; n salary of ono thou
sand eight hundred dollars wns no in
ducement to make tiny ono sacriflco
that Investment j I own it yet, simply
because I can And no ono willing to
buy it. In filling this position, I claim
never to have shown a particle of favor
In nny shape or form to that institution
and I nm willing to havo tho matter In
vestigated nt any day.
Q. You aro awaro of tho provisions
of tho law of March 21, which prohibits
the Superintendent from having any
interest iu any school?
A. Yes, sir ; and I claim not to hnvo
any interest in this, in tho meaning of
the law.
Crow caruniftidfioii .
Q. You own tho building?
A. Yes, tlr; I have no Interest In tho
school beyond that which I can clear
ly show Is Interest on the invest
ment. I havo tho contracts for the
school so arranged that tho boarding Is
entirely beyond my control, nnd In the
hands of other parties.
Q. What do you mean when you soy
you havo no interest?
A. Merely that I own the properly
and recolvo compensation which covers
or should cover tho Interest on my In
vestment.
Q. At tho timo this Orangovlllo school
was disbanded, what way tho condition
of theM'AUister school was it flourish
ing?
A. I so considered it.
Q. Did you ncqulro nny ndvnntage,
pecuniary or otherwise, by tho removal
of any of those children to tho M'AUIs-
lervillo school?
A. I acquired no ndvantago, but, on
tho contrary, that Institution lost very
heavily by the transfer, as I can show.
Q. On your oath do you say that tho
owning of tlioM'Ailistervillo school had
no influence directly on your position
In removing tho Orangevlllo school?
A. I say It had not , on tho contrary,
I felt moro reluctant to do It because of
that fact, lest It might bo construed as a
motivo; I say that on my oath.
Q. Could you not havo had as many
children from other districts through
out tho Slato taken to M'AllIstcrvillo,
without removing any from tho Orange
vlllo school ?
A. I could havo had children from Its
own district even, and I put nono to it
except thoso that legitimately belonged
to that district, nnd were equally dis
tant from their homes j thero was plen
ty of material in fiat district, and is
now.
Q. So that there was no object In your
breaking up this school to swell tho
numbers nt tho M'All'a'orvillo school T
A. Tlicro could bo none, and I cannot
seo how tiny ono can saj that tlicro was
an Inducement to do so. I had flvo
hundred petitions for places lu tlio
schools.
Redirect!
Q. You did not tnku tho flvo hundred
applicants?
A, I put portions of them Into other
schools.
,Q:iVhy didn't you tako them ?
A. ilet'iniso wo had as many as wo do
hired. ,fit'was determined after consul
tation with thcGovwrior.-toreJUevtho
most needy cases, and as theso dropped
in, from dlirercnt places over tho Com
monwealth, wo proferrod them to nny
others.
Q. Tho real reason was because tho
appropriation was not largo enough ?
A. You nro aware, I presume, that
wo haye, every year, had a dtflclt j tho
Legislature lias generously voted It.
Q. Ifthersi had been appropriations
enough you would havo provided for
tho whole flvo hundred ?
A. I preeumo so.
(J. There was an appropriation for tho
Orati",ovillu school?
A. I cannot wy that tlicro was.
Q. Was It not hi existence when tho
appropriation bill of 1SG7 wns passed.
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Was it not when tho next appro
priation bill passed?
A. Yes, blr.
Q. Did not tho Legislature consldor
tho Orangevlllo fchool then, when the
ytnr 1607 commenced ?
A. 1 think not; 1 think tho LegUhi
turo consider! d none of thn t-chools; I
think they considered tho orjihant, nnd
tlmt.they were placed tit thu discretion
of tho Superintendent, with tho appro
val of tho Governor.
Q. Did not tho Committee on Educa
tion lu both houses know very well
how many orphan schools tlicro wero,
anil how ninny orphans could bn ac
commodated lu them?
A, My liiipie.wlon Is that thu majori
ty of tlio uit'iutei's never rcud our re
ports; I think you know it to boa fact.
Q. What I want to get nt Is this : In
disbanding tho orphan school at Ornngo-
vine, nnd in giving twentv-two of thoso
orphanstotho M'AllIstcrvillo Bchool.tjio
M'AlllstervIllo school got h proportion
ate? sharo of those scholars ?
A. No, sir; It got simply tho children
which, from tho nature of tho district,
wero almost forced into It ; It got Iho
samo pay for keeping them as tho
Orangovlllo school would havo got.
Q. Havo you your balance sheet for
18G7nthnnl, showing tho amount of
Interest you received on that Invest
ment ?
A. No, sir j I mado my revenue return
recently, and It Is very firmly Impressed
upon my mind how much I paid tiix
upon.
Q. I did not ask that. You own that
building thero how much money did
you maUo out of that school last year,
as near as you can stato?
A. I received twenty-four hundred
and fifty dollars from tho uso of thirty
two thousand dollars in property.
(i. who puts that csttmato upon It?
A. It was tho cost j much of 11 is nol
paid for.
tl. Do you consider that a good Invest
ment? A. No, sir; I wlllseilltattwonty-fivo
thousand dollnrs to-day.
Q. Then Is it fair to clmrgo Interest
on thirty-two thousand dollars.
A. It Is fair to charge ten per centum
on tho entlro thirty-two thousand dol
lars at cost.
Q. Is that tho present regular rato of
Interest, or Is it tho rato only when
you come to deal withsoldicrs' orphans?
A. It is a rnto duo to any man, on
things that will wear out inafuwyears.
Q. Youdon'tconslderthatltUn good
investment now ?
A. No, sir.
Q. What kind of nn Investment wits
it when tho Orangovlllo school closed,
aud when you told Mr.IIerrthatlt was
In a flourishing condition ?
iV. It was a better investment than
to-day.
Q. Ifyou mako ten perccntum to-day,
now much did you mako then ?
A. I mado a great deal more.
Q. How much did you mako out of it
tho year before this?
a. i cannot icn ; i did not mako as
much as before.
Q. Didn't you say to Mr. Herr that
tho school was in it flourishing condition
then ?
A. Yes. sir; I mean that its educa
tioual nnd sanitary condition was flour
ishing.
Q. You did not mean that you were
making money ?
A. No, sir.
Q. How do you flguro up that thirty
two thousand dollars ?
A. By actual receipted bills which I

Geary from a Republican Stand
Point.
Thu following article from tho Phila
delphia Evening 'Alcyraph, a Uadieal pa
per, will explain Itself. It expresses
the sentiments of tho better class of I5c
publicans all over tho Stale, as regards
the corruption and profligacy which
havo characterised tho administration
of John W. Geary. Coming from his
own friends tho opinions aro worthy of
being rend:
"Wo hold firmly to republican princi
ples, bcemiso wo believe that tho safety,
honor and welfuio of the country de
pend upon their maintenance; but wo
will not support tho corrupt men who
may manage to get upon tho republican
ticket for tho sako of advancing their
own selfish ends and for tho purposo of
plundering tho public. Thu timo has
now como when It Is necessary for the
patriotic men of tho Stato and country
to mukon decided stand against corrupt
practices like thoso of tho latoStato leg
Itlature, which bring the party into dis
grace and contempt. If tho party sup
ports such men it ought to fall, for,
whatever Its pretended principles may
bo, It has In reality fallen to tho demo
cratic lovel, and party fealty represents
a mere scramble for tho loaves and Ash
es. Wo havo taken our position on this
subject, and wo do not intend to bo
frightened or silenced by tho nolso of
the big war drums that nro being sound
ed as tho day of election approaches.
"Wo liaYjj-aiuplo, iissiiraiico that , our
courso meets with (lid approbation of
tho good men of tho republican party,
the men who have given uud do give It
nil Its real iufluenco, nnd that our only
opponents aro thoso who makon tnulo
of politics, who havo no principles
whatever except to obtain ollleo at all
hazards, and n few timorous, so-culled
republicans, who have no opinions of
their own, who follow blludly tho pro
fessed party lenders, and who echo at
every election tho old democratic war
cry or -'Voto tho straight ticket."
Thero aro Bourbons, who learn nothing
and who forget nothing, iu tho republi
can as well as In the democrutlc party,
and It is the republican Bourbons that
give thu most nld and comfort to tho
enemy.
Tho moat ciitlettl examination wocun
glvu to tho pardon record of Governor
Geary only confirms our conviction that
the pttrdonlng power ouj-ht to bo taken
out of tho hands of thu Executive. The
majority of hit liatdoni tare mantctlfor the
moitruoluud runout, mitt" at ie imtance of
a ffiit of nun Klin hud their mat cnd$ to
terve. ly ntemmtnding criminals to hit clem
ency men tcho, from the frtnuency with
ichich tluy aypearvjion tie record, might not
unjutlly le entitled p of itsional jiardon Irok.
en, mid the reward of moru than ono
engaged lu this disreputable business
may bo seen In objeclloiiiil nominations
mado upon tho republican ticket, and
which wo havo yet to too denounced by
tho JlulUlin. Pel haps our euteinpomry
will give us Its opinion ou thu black
sheep after tlio elcetluu. Wo prefer to
iienounco tnem beforo."
John W. Ocarv and tho Soldiers of1
tno Mexican War.
ON Saturday, July 15th, 1818, and
shortly after tho return of thb Fayetto
county volunteers from tho war Willi
Mexico, they held a mooting In Con-,
nellsvlllo, at which tho following pre
amble and resolutions wero unanimous
ly adopted :
Whereas, Thudlschargonnd nrriv-
al homo of tho remaining members of
tho Fayetto Volunteers has again placed
them In tho position of citizens of tlio
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and
enabled thcra to speak and assert tholr
rights, they now embrace this occasion,
tho first opportunity slnco their return,
to express their deep nnd ABIDING
INDIGNATION of tho conduct of
JOHN W. GEAItY, slnco ho was elec
ted to tho command of tho 2d Penn'a.,
negimcnt at tho city of Mexico. Tho
said John W. Geary procured his elec
tion by n' mcro plurality of votes by
FALSEHOOD and DECEPTION
whllo ho was promising to glvo Com
pany II tho privilege of electing their
own ofllcer3,nccordlug lo tho laws of
tlio Stato of Pennsylvania, he, tho said
Geary, bargained with others for votes,
promising and giving nppolntments In
said Company II, to men from other
companies who might nnswer, his pe
culiar purposes. Tho law of Congress
of tho 13th May, 18 10, calling for Volun
teers for tho war with Mexico, has this
provision :
SEC.5.-AndbQltfurtheroiiaclcd.thattho
said VoIunteerssoolTerlugtheirscrvlces
shall bo accepted by tho President, in
companies, battalions, squadrons and
regiments, whoso officers shall bo ap
pointed in tho manner prescribed by
law in tho several States aud Territor
ies to which such companies, battalions
squadrons aud regiments shall respec
tively belong."
Tho said Geary, while ho availed him
self of this law to get himself Into a
high ofllco, refused tho samo right to
Company H, which legally and proper
ly belonged to them. Therefore,
Resolved, That wo tho remaining mem
bers of tho Fayetto County Volunteers,
view tho conduct of tho said John V.
Geary towards Company H, ns an
OUTRAGE upon their Just rights, as
secured to them by tho laws of Pennsy l
vania as well as tlio laws of Congress.
Tho wholo courso and conduct of tho
said Geary being INCONSISTENT
WITH THE CHARACTER OF A
GENTLEMAN OR MAN OF HON
OR It wa3 treating us as a set of men
who could not appreciate them it was
CORRUPT and MERCENARY In all
Its bearings, characteristic of a LOW
AND GROVELING CREATURE,
hunting and seeking popularity for
courago and patriotism THAT HE
NEVER EARNED, by bargaining
with suplo tools and mercenaries, one
of whom at least was a notorious black
leg.

A Chanco for rorncy.
ir tho Editor or tho Press desires to
relievo hlraseirrrom tho charge or wil
ful nnd malicious slander, hero Is an
opportunity to do so. Wo engage how
ever that tho offers will not boaccoptcd,
To Colonel John IP. Eorncy, Editor and
loprittor of the Philadelphia Press :
Sir In your daily of Friday, Sept.
10, 18G0, you proposo to raise a fund ol
$100,000 Tor tho benefit of tho '.widows
and orphans of tho Avondalo tragedy,
Now I will suggest a plan by which
you can add $8,000 thereto j if you do
clino tho experiment, it will be your
fault, und not mine.
In tho samo paper you publish, edi
torially, as follows:
"should troublo again befall tho Com
monwealth wo want n Goverfiorwho
will stay-pii'the spot, and not run oirto
Europo with his sons.'"'
"Wo seo by somo of our exchanges that
Judgo Packer, In 1855, ncted with tho
Know-Nolhlng Party."
"During tho war Aba Pucker packed
his trunks and went to Europe, where
ho stayed two whole years consorting
with tho Rebels."
In thoso threo bentenccH tiro six, sov
eral, distinct propositions;
No. 1. That when tho Commonwealth
wos In troublo (war), Judgo Packer ran
oirto Europo.
2. That ho took Ids sons along.
3. That ho acted with Know-Noth-lugs
In 1855,
4. That during tho war ho went to
Europo.
0. That ho stayed two wholo years.
0. That during that timo ho hob-nobbed
with Rebels.
Now, Sir, 1 proposo to pay over to
Gcorgo II. Stuart, Esq., Treasurer or tho
Avondalo Fund, tho sum or flvo hun
dred dollars far each nnd overy of tho
abovo propositions that you will eatab
llsh to bo a fact by any sort of rcspecta-
mo testimony, u you provo any onu
of your assertions, you can, In this way,
add $500 to tho fund-lf ull of them,
3,000.
Now, I proposo to test your truthful
ness and charity, nnd make n contribu
tion of $3,000 to the Avondalu Fund,
f liner nom your or mr pocket.
First, I willbtitknyou $300 that Judgo
Packuf did not n.o to ICuropu during tho
war, and wns not thero nt any timo du
ring tno war.
Beconil, $500 that Judge Packero nov
er took, or sent, his sons to Europo du
ring tho war, aud that neither of his
sons wero iu Europo during tho war.
Third, $500 that Jttdgo Packer nuvcr
spent two years, or ono year, nor Isx
months In Europe, before, during, or
nftcr tho war.
Fourth, $500 that Judgo Packer never
"hobnobbed" with rebels in Europo, or
elsewhere, during tho war, oranywhero
else, or nt any time, unless It was at tho
great dinner given to him on his return
from Europe, when somo or your
prominent Radical conspirators ngalnst
tho Union nnd tho. Constitution wero
present.
Fifth. $500, that Judge Packer never,
cither In 18o5, or ut nny other time,
acted with tho Know-Nothing party.
Tho money to bo placed in tho hands
of George II. Stuart, who shall hear tho
proofs and mako tho decision, mid hold,
for tho Avondalo Fund, thosums which
shall bo lost by cither of us.
Tho Monster TjIo Wailed.
Tho Mauch Chunk Democrat of Satur
day lost goes to tho trouble of exposing
tho miserable falsehoods tho G caryltea
havo so persistently circulated charging
Judgo Packer with refusing to pay hU
taxes. Although tho Democrat has per
formed thlsser vied in tho most successful
manner, yet wo cannot help thinking it
was timo and labor thrown away, as
thero certainly cannot bo found within
tho broad limits of tho Commonwealth
a solitary individual ignorant chough to
bo deceived by such ridiculous lies. But
hero nro tho facts :
Finding Judgo Packer unossallablo In
decent nnd manly controversy, tho
Radicals havo changed their tuck of
late, and now try to break ills popu
larity witn tno peopiu uy wnoiesaie uuu
deliberate lying. Bo it has beeu impu
dently charged that ho fulled to pay his
oouuty auu otner local tuxes wnust a
resident of our borough. But a few
figures aro uoedfut to expoio this menda
city and tho political debauchery in
which itauicaiism is wallowing,
In lbO'.j tlio whole or tlio taxes or Mauch
Chunk Borough amounted to S1U,-
105.18. Or this amount Judgo Packer
paid Borough $8,-l iO 2(5
Bcnooi e,uyy ai
Bounty 15,718 Hi
$32,537 11
Thus it appears thut iu 1805 Judgo
Packer iialdovcr70ier cent.oitho total
amount or borough tax levied.
tn lBuu tho total tax levied was
801.02. Or this amount Judgo Packer
paid Borough $0,315 00
Sellout 0,315 00
Bounty G.'JsO 07
$25,021 50
So copiously had tho monoy flowed
Into thu borough treasury by this sys
tem ol taxation that all tlio bouuty in
debtedness was paid oil' in this war I
What bold liars tho radicals must be,
to charge thut Judgo Packer, shirked
his bouuty taxes, when it was only
through hlin that the burden was dis
charged, and tho poor man rclioved or
nn enormous taxation.
Tako tho year 1807, In which
tho total tax luvled was $21,807 47
Orthls amouut Judge Packer
paitl Borough 5,703 42
School 0,222 88
$14,080 0
Here, too, ho pays ovorGO per cent, of
tho total taxes levied.
In this year tho radical legislature
passed tho law exempting tho stocks of
corporations rrom local taxation. This
relieved a great part or Judgo Packer's
property. Still his real estate and other
property remained liable to local taxa
tion, and no ono daro say ho has not
paid overy penny or it.
But Judgo Packer chose to tako up
his rcsldenco In Philadelphia in 1807
and has slnco resided and voted thero I
Well, had ho not tho right so to do?
Slnco when has it become unlawlul for
a man to take up his rcsldenco whero
ho pleases? Judge Packer did no moro
than any other man would do under
tlio circumstances. His business is
principally In Philadelphia; most of his
timo is spent thero; the duties of his
ofllco as Vico President of tho Lehigh
Valley railroad requires him to bo at
his post; heneo in I807'ho found it con
venient and choso to reside, voto, and
pay his taxes in Philadelphia. Out of
this a few fools would make political
capital. They will has'o a troublc-onio
timo in doing It ; but so far, they havo
succeeded In writing themselves shame
less nsscs and nincompoops.
A Radical Doauty.
This is tho stylo of creaturo tho party

sins having been found out whilst many
or his compeers havo been rortunato
enough thus r.tr tocouceal theirs. Thero
is a good timo coming, however, and
beforo tho Dayor Judgment, when oth
er rascalities will bo brought to light.
