Ulreulntlon of any-f paper publlihtd In
Northern Pciiinylranla, and li also ,a
much larger ihcti than any of litcotam
liorarlcif a it it U therefor the bit metllum
for n.Wcrtlilnff In thlfe Mellon ofihe state-
The Dcmorallxatlon of our Kove
nno OBeori.
This ha been ft fruitful themo for
comment for several yenra past, but wo
hover expected that thcro would bo a
practical Illustration of H lu our own
County. At tho risk of another liboi
suit wo niust statu tho facts j and It Is
more In sorrow than In anger that we
call attention to tho subject, not only
because of our great respect for tho clti
zona of Calawlssa Rcnerally,but because
of our especial lovo andosteom for Ben'
jamln P. Fortner, Deputy Collector of
Internal Rovonue, In and for the Coun
ty of Columbia, and Stato of I'cnnsyl
vania.
Our chargo is not ono of ordinary
pecutatlon, becauso for this thero is pro'
cedent in every department of tho pros
ent Administration ; but the crimo is of
graver luiport.strlklng deep at tho roots
of society, and showing a gross disre
gard of tho laws of this Commonwealth
What aro the facts? Tho Deputy Col
lector aforesaid, (and ex-member of tho
Housoof Representatives) by vlrtuo of
tho powers In 1dm vested by tho rove
nuo laws of thta Republic, advertises
aud openly offers to sell at auction by
public outcry" sixty gallons of old rye
whiskey on the Thirteenth day of Febru
ary instant! Now when it is consider
ed that tho thirteenth day of February
comes on tho Sabbath, our readers will
see tho enormity of tho offence. It is
easy to get at Benjamin's motive. As a
zealous public ofllcer ho is desirous of
getting tho highest value for his wares,
nnd therefore selects tho Sabbath as tho
tlmo for thosalo of his spirits when tho
v streets aro thronged with church-goers,
whom ho irreverently supposes to bo
thirsty, nnd when ho knows, as docs
every other Catawisslan, that tho bars
or tlila town aro closed by Act of As-
' scmbly! Not only that, ho selects our
public square, and uses in this connec
tion the namo of an estimable citizen
and consistent Christian. And worse
still, the liquor Is described as "Rohr
McIIenry," tho Intent being to intoxi-
cato tho imaginations of tho people
with tho idea that they can now pur
chose a boverage, tho secret of manufac
luring which is among the lost arts.
Inasmuch as some cynic may suggest
that the JlepuilicanoiSico which print
ed tho hand bills for this sale mado a
mistake for the purposoof bringing our
worthy friend Into dispute, wo havo
only to add that such a thing is impos
sible. Bradley would never sacrifice
Fortner. He loves him too much, and
they have too many' interests in com
mon. Did not the former throw his
"heft'' into the scales when the latter
wanted to bo Assistant Assessor of In-'
tcrnal Revenues? Tho lovo existing
between Jbnathanand David, between
Damon and Tythias, was not so great
as. that which tho Chairman of the Re
publican Standing Committee for' Co
lumbia County has for the Deputy Col
lector of Internal Rovenuo in and for
said County. In fact so great was his
zeal for Fortner, thai he called his em
ployees up on f-lunday and executed
another J'ob for him, as will be seen by
tho bills which bear date of January
30th, 1870. We trust tho morals of our
community will not bo contaminated
by this sale, but the force of public
opinion will bo sufficient to, have it
postponed to a moro convenient season.
Obituary.
Tub Honorable Charles F. Mann died
at his residence in Beaver township, In
this county, on Monday, January 24th,
A. D. 1870. aged about sixty years. For
a long tlmo his health has been very
precarious, but his great energy kept
111 in up under afflictions and sickness,
that would long before have overcomo
most others.
Judge Mann was born in Columbia
county, wo ore informed In what Is now
Scott township, and lived all his llfo
among us. In early years ho was well
known as a contractor on tho public
works of this part of tho Stato, and had
tho usual Alto of a contractor. He was
elected County Treasurer In tho Fall of
1815. He was for many years a Justice
of tho Peace, nnd was elected to bo As
sociate, Judge, in tho Fall of 18C9. Ho
novcr went upon tho Bench. Ho was
not nblo to como and tako tho oath of
ofllco nnd lift his commission.
Ho was a leading and active man in
tho community, and an earnest, aud in
telligent citizen. Ho was a warm friend
and much esteemed in ids neighbor
hood. Ho wasa life-long democrat-nover
faltering in hU allegiance or liU labors ;
and It was n fitting end to a long and
uctivo career, that Ids fellow citizens
should throw over his shoulders the
pure muutlo of thojudiciary, boforo his
departure. May ho rest in peace.
Puritan Polltencsi,
Tin: wiseacres who constitute the
Town Council of Boston, Massachusetts,
recently passed a resolution declining
to tender tho hospitalities of that city
to Prlnco Arthur, Now, as tho Prlnco
had not asked tho inhabitants of Boston
for hospitality or anything else, It
strikes us that the action of tho Town
Council was a very petty as well as
absurd piece of impudence. Wo won
der whether theso disciples of Sumner
think this a good way to "take It out"
of England for not settling, to Boston
ian satisfaction, tho Alabama claims?
We can fancy no other reason except
perhar3 pure New England "cussed
ness.,r A aoon story Is told of a Tioga county
merchant, who agreed to tako a farmer's
oats at 10 cents a bushel If tho latter
would let him tramp tho measures when
tilled. The farmer agreed to It. Tho
buyer paid for sixty bushels, and noxt
day went after them. Tho farmer filled
the half bushel, and tho merchant got
In nnd trampod them down. Where
upon tho farmer poured tho oats so com
pressed Into tho has. Tho merchant
protested, and demanded that tho
jnensuro should bo filled up after tramp
ing. Tim farmer Informed Iilra that
thero was'no agreement of that sort, but
that ho might tramp down tho oats to
hU heart's content after they wero
measured.
By tho Governor.
" Isaac 8. Monroo to bo Assoclato
Judge, vlco Charles F, Mann, deceased."
That little announcement has a wholo
chapter of fun and fury. On tho death
of Judge Herbeln, thero aroso n contest
as to who should bo his successor, some
citizens being for Isaac S. Monroe, and
somo for James Kostor, who was ulti
mately. cnrrlcd.by.tho..c.trciuu .Radical
ruction, when the election came, Judgo
Kester was put upon tho Radical ticket
and.mado.nu uuusually good. poll. Ho
had been a capablo and nccoptabIo.om
ccr, nnd deserved the recognition lie
received.
Upon tho death of Judgo Mann tho
question of his successor como up. But
boforo this event, a brother of Judgo
Kester, died who had for many years
been a client of Mr. Clark's, and at tho
request of his brother's widow, and
doubtless with tho approbation of his
own Judgment, Kester retained his
brother's couilsellor In tho settlement
of his estate. Such n want of fidelity
as that, aroused tho fury of Knorr, and
Bcckley, and Whltmoycr and Bradley,
nnd tho result was war upon Judgo Kes
ter.
" When you want petitions and
names," says Knorr, "you como to mo j
when you want legal business dono you
go to tho Democrats ;" showing that
Kester had learned something by being
on tho Bench n year. Thereupon a
Radical brolher-ln-law of Kester was
cockered up to try to boa Judge; and tho
brilliant nnd magnanimous quartetto
abovo named wont In. "Death to tho
man who don't employ mo," says Sam
uol ; " Yea, v,erlly," saith Clinton ; nnd
''Yea, verily," chorus Whltmoyer,
Beeklcy and Bradley.
And then you should havo seen tho
mud fly on tho other side of tho river.
The race of John Gilpin was nothing to
it. Loaded with petitions, they scoured
tho valleys, climbed tho hills, nnd
plunged Into tho hollows. Hourly bul
letlns of tho fight wcro received at tho
Assessor's' office. The assistants turned
In, and moreover gave Samuel their
legal business", "Yea, verily."
In tho mcantlmo, Isaac S. Monroe,
who had publicly flouted and contempt
uously ignored Knorr, Bcckloy, Whit
moyer and Bradley, securing tho names
of a few our citizens, having hcretoforo
a largo list in Harrisburg, slipped down,
saw tho Governor, and brought the com
mission home in his pocket.
As soon as it transpired that Isaac
was in Harrisburg, thero was terror,
and dismay, and weeping, and wailing,
and gnashing of teeth in the Assessor's
ofllco. And thero was hurrying to nnd
fro, and a drivo at Clinton to withdraw,
and a consolidation or interests, and an
assignment of Clinton's names to James'
use, and a rush to tho post office, nnd a
mailing of tho papers; and lo, and bO'
hold I at tho same hour, tho Honor
able Isaac S. Monroe was smiling his
blandest smile, nnd'smoklng his most
fragrant cigar, while tho top of his com
mission was saucily sticking out of his
left side coal pocket.
If Samuel would like to see Hon.
Isaac S. Monroe, ho will find him on
the Bench noxt week ; In which position
wo tender him 'our congratulations, nnd
wish him success.
She Editorial Association.
We attended tho annual meeting of
tiio organization at Harrisburg on
Thursday of last week; Wo were much
pleased at the regularity with which
tho business was conducted, and at tho
order and decorum of tho members.
Many mombcrs wero absent, somo
doubtless from fear of n repetition of
last year's doings.
Tho principal Item of business was
listening to tlio rcport of tho Committee
on Advertising, nnd discussing its mer
its. A committee wcro appointed to
elaborate a plan for a Bureau for ad
vertising at Philadelphia, and New
York, which is to be submitted to pub
lishers for approval. Thero is a wide
margin for reform in this matter, not
only to protect ourselves but to protect
advertisers.

Electoral Reform.
Tho following bill was introduced in
tho Stato Senate, by Mr. Bucknlew, on
thoCth, of January; nnd referred to a
Select Committee consisting of Messrs
Buckalow, Olmsted, Howard, Whlto,
Wallace.M'Intiro nndStlnson, Speaker,
AN ACT To nuthorizo tho Free
Voto In tho election of certain officers
of counties, townships, 'wards and
boroughs.
Section' 1. lie It enacted etc., That
in all elections hereafter held in this
Commonwealth for tho choice of coun
ty, township, ward, or borough officers,
whenever moro persons than ono aro to
bo chosen by thesnmo constituency to
tho same ofllco for tho sarno tlmo or
term of service, each qualified elector of
tho proper county, township, ward or
borough, shall bo entitled to as many
votes as tho number of persons to bo so
chosen to any smcli ofllco In his county,
townsh!p,ward or borough, and in poll
ing his votes may dlstrlbuto them (or
equal fractions thereof,) to and among
candidates ns ho shall think fit, or may
concentrate his voles and bestow them
upon ono candidate, and tho candidates
highest In votoslmll bo declared elected
but nothing herein contained shall bo
held to change or affect tho manner of
choosing Inspectors of election and Jury
commissioners as fixed byexlsting law
Section -', Tho provisions of tho
foregoing K'ction shall apply to dec
tlons of directors of common schools for
the several school districts of the Com
monwealth, We observe that Mr. Wallace has
introduced a bill providing for tho
election of a Judgo of Nisi Prius. That
Is right. It should become a law. As
It Is now, ono Judgo of tho Supremo
Court is constantly holding Nisi Prius
courts; and It Is yery seldom that a enso
is heard or decided by a full bench. It
is proper for another reason. Appeals
or writs of error, Ac., etc., from Nisi
Prius go before a court of which tho
Nisi Prius Judgo is a inemberjand thoro
Is always u disposition to sustain him.
This bill prevents a causa or quostlon
from being prejudged, and It allows a
full bench of tho Supremo Court, at the
argument of nil cases which como be
fore It, which is a furtherance of Justlco
and sound conclusions.

COMCLUDINciTHKM ARKB ON TUBS CLUB
By tho testimony which wo havo giv
en In our last two numbers, wu havo
fully sustained our general statement
In regard to tho Club Meetings which
wero held at various points iu tho up
per townships In the spring of 1803.
They were, In every respect, lawful
and Innocent, nnd tho tlmo when thoy
wcro held shows that they had no con
nection whatever with tho events or
troubles of 180 1 which enmo nearly one
year nnd n half afterwards. Tho tes
timony proves most conclusively that
they wcro held from March to May 1801
that they wrro secret only In regard to
tho signs of recognition among tho mem
bers who wcro fully Initiated; that tho
oath taken by the members yas to obey
tho Constitution of tho United States
and tho Constitution of Pennsylvania;
that tho namo of tho association (except
when Limply called "tho Meeting")
was "Uomocratlc Club," or "Union
Club," nnd that Its object was exclu
sively political, At the meetings which
wcro held, remarks of an ordinary po
litical character wero made. On ono
occasion, as wo aro informed, a speech
which had been madolu thoU. S. Sen
ate by Senator Douglas was read, and
on another nn nrtlclofrom a newspaper.
In fact, so far as wo aro Informed by tho
witnesses, tho only business over dono
at tho meetings, outside of their proper
proceedings as party clubs, was the cir
culation and signing of subscriptions to
raise boUntg-nloney for volunteers I Fin
ally, tho meetings wcro mostly held
with ortcu doors at School Houscj Iu
Flshlngcrcek, Benton and Jackson,and
no person that choso to attend was
excluded. Only when thoslyns of rec
ognition were communicated to tho
members, was there anysccrccy or con
cealment of what was dono from tho
public.
But why wcro tho meutlugs held?
This question only remains to be an
swered. It appears that a man named
Iladley, from Wyoming county, hold
tho first meeting at a School House iu
Fishingrreek early In March isrj:. H0
mado a political speech, in an open
meeting, and proposed an association
of tho people for political purposes
That was the first meeting and at tho
end of it members wcro Initiated by
Hadloy and then the signs of recogni
tion wero communicated to them Iir a
brief secret session. Tho first conscrip
tion act was passed by Congros.s In that
satno month and when this meeting
was held thcro had been no proceed
irigs under it nor was thcro any excite
ment in regard to its execution. In fact
it is not certain that tho meeting was
not held before the law was passed. Be
that as It may, neither that nor any
subsequent meeting was held with ref
erence to that net or to opposo Its en
forcement, nor was any action taken nt
any meeting In hostility to it. This is
fho uniform import of tho abundant
testimony for tiio defonco corroborated
by all tho witnesses for tho prosecution
examined as to tho meetings with a
single worthless exeption.
The club meetings wcro In Imitation
of tho Loyal Leagues and Lodges of the
Republican party,thouh far less sccrot
and objectionable, than those organiza
Hons. The success of tho Know-Notli-
Ing Lodges In former years and of Re
publican Leagues moro recently in in
fluencing elections, was calculated to
captivatotho unreflecting. A hy should
not Democratic associations with oaths
of Initiation and witii signs of recogni-
tion among tho members perform miss'
ionary servico for ono party liko to that
performed by tho Leagues for another?
Why should not tho opinion of Weiss-
haupt, tho founder of tho Illuminati,
that "secrecy Is asourco of enthusiasm,"
bo ncceptcd by Democrats as well as by
Republicans and induco organizations
by thorn also as a means of influence
and power?
This was not sound reasoning as tho
event hns shown, bnt it was plausible
and seductive. Tho farmers, merchants
mechanics aud laborers of tho Fishing
cicck valley ought to havo known to
bo sure that associations with signs and
oaths wero inconsistent with their po
litical faitli and unsuited to Its propa
gatiou, but they wero misled by bad
examples and felt Into temporary error,
They no doubt now comprehend per-
lecuy mat oatn-bound clubs are n mon
opoly of the opposite party with which
it is not lawful or at all events expedl
ent for them to Interfere. It is true
their Clubs wero very modest, unpro-
tenumg, fnnocent and unproscrlptlve
ns compared with tho loyalLeagues. The
signs wero harmless, tho oath patriotic
tho secrecy slight and tho purpose o
association entirely proper if not laud
able. But it was not to bo allowed that
they should have Clubs at all, and thoy
wero made to smart subsequently for
their presumption In Invading tho pro
rogativesof tho Radical party by es
tablishing them.
AVo havo only to add, that tho Club
meetings wero not long kept up. With
tiio coming on of warmer weather and
short evenings in May, they wero uban
uoncu. as ono oi tnu witnesses ex
pressed It, "tho peoplo lost interest In
them nnd they wero dropped."
Tho Roman Council.
it is won Known tnat tnoro is a re
llglous council now sitting In Rome,
convened by tho Pope, and which ho
and somo newspapers which ought to
know better, call JCcumenlcal. Tills
word means "tho habltablo globo," in
Its root; and tho adjective is used to
deslguato somothlng which belongs to
mankind generally.
This religious council Is in no sense
ecumenical, for it docs not contain rep
toscntatlvcs of all mankind, nor of nil
properly styled Catholic bodies, nor of
any of the denominations. It is a Ro
man Council, oracouucil of tho Roman
branch of tho Church Catholic, and
should bo so styled. Wo should always
call things by their right names.
Tho first Ecumenical council was held
lu Jerusalem about A. D. CO, and was
presided over by James, "tho Lord's
brother," first bishop of Jerusalem, Its
proceedings aro related in tho fifteenth
chapter of tho Acts of tho Apostles.
Tho next was held nt Nice, A. D, 325,
nnd drew up tho NIccno Creed of tho
Prayer Book, which was revised and
added to by tho Council of Chnlcedon
A. D. 151.
Theso later general councils wero
called by tho Emperors. No council Is
admitted or considered Ecumenical,
which was called by the Pope, anil no
general council has assembled for about
thirteen hundred years. Felix.
