men our very ablest statesmon to

wo do not mean to rind fault now with
our kindly brethren of tho press who
seem to think that tho chief purposo of
editorial exlstetico la to pufT somebody
and who prefer to wrap themselves In
that silky garment nnd dream of milk
and molasses than to encounter tho
sterner duty Impmed by vljorou3 war
upon tho enemy nnd whatever stands
In tho way of victory.
Wo bollovo that tho way to havo ob
tained victory would havo been to ex
poso tho wrong action of tho itndlcals,
In documents accompanied by clear nml
undcnlablo proof of every statement
and assertion made. No victory can bo

tained by appeals to tho Judgement
baed on facts so clearly established and
reasons so forclblo that no man of ordi
nary senso may doubt.

had tho means to gather all this infor
mation, nnd It and It alone is responsi
ble for tho failure to givo tho peoplo

Yet Col. Biddle, overflowing with
n generosity that docs far moro honor
to his.heart than to his intellect (unjust
to both) tells us in tho Age that tho
committee did wonderful work all
that could be done I Wo admire tho
gentlemanly Instincts of Col. Biddle,

but when ho so flatly at onco endorses
and exculpates the committee, In words
that comprehend tho wholo but glvo no
detail, wo must ask him wherein did
tho committeo dlschargo Its duty?
What did it do ? Weassert it was scarce-
ly heard of in the campaign. Wo point
our noblo friend to tho fact that In near
ly every strong hold our partywas di
vided, and distracted and weakened by
division, (induced mostly by Badlcal
money) and that tho Stato committeo
did nothing publicly (and probably
nothing otherwise) to put.'astop to this
suicidal action.
An address written by Judge Black,
It is true, was published in the papers,
but was suffered to fall without atten
tion. Tho unfortunate paragraph In
It that destroyed its usefulness ought
to havo been left out, and then the
peoplo should not havo heard tho
last of his argument until tho election
had gone. And this was tho begin
ning and end of tho public efforts of
tho committeo I What it did privately
wo do not know and it amounted to
nothing at any rate.
What it wanted in the future is one of
ourjlrst men at the lead of the State com
mittee. Givo us Judgo Woodwaud, or
IllKSTEB CI.YMEB, Or JudgO BLACK,
or Mr. Bi'ckaibw, and if victory does
not follow, then, at least, tho idea that
the first Intellect at tho head of affairs
Is tbo true road to success, will coaso to
obtrude Itself on men's minds and in
ferior ambitious but no less worthy
men can have Mcr, way.
This artlclo is growing too long. In
tho future wo will point out somo fur
ther reformation that ought to bo made.
But wo tako this occasion to say that
wo shall speak without tear or favor, as
Is our habit, and that it will theroforo
bo quite unnecessary for kind-hearted
brethren to plddlo into tho stream
with their never-ceasing puffs and hon
ied words. We mean to deal with stern
realities.

Already our Ilotiso of Bepresentnllv

in chargo of tho construction or n rail
road in Massachusetts, ho said that ho
feared tho project would full for want of
funds that tho Stato had appropriated

that an appropriation then ponding

In our paper. Very independent indeed!
And further, Knorr tolls of a Soldlera'
Convention convened nt Hnrrisburg at
tho tlmo or tho application for appoint
ment, and how thoy had determined to
march, In a body, to tho Capitol and
mako Harrisburg too hot for tho Gov
ernor to remain there ir ho did not ap
point Rinoler, tho soldier who stayod
at homo and sang songa to hnug tho
Coppot heads. This Is all very consist
ent with his first story glvon alono and
branda htm with uttering fibs; Oh I no
not Me If It bo truo that thoy had
dono nothing towards the appointment
of Rinoler until Monday morning,
tney yet had been making tholr ar
rangements to control tho appointment
before Gen. Ent died. As early ns two
weeks before tho death of Gon. Ent a
prominent Republican of Bloomsburg,
(wo might call him tho Phllosophor,)
wns paving hla way nud having confl-
dentlal talks with his friends regarding
his appointment and was really making
somo inquiries as to tho mannor or
doing tho business or tho offico I All or
which is known and was known boforo
tho death of General Est. Sir. Z.uui
was approached by prominent and re
spectable Republicans before tho donth
of Goneral Ent and asked to bo an ap
plicant and they said thoy believed,
should such a lamentablo occur renco
tako placo as tho death of Goneral Ent,
that no doubt nil persons having nuv
business to do In tho ollka would glvo
tholr influence, irrospoctivo of party
foellnga, to procure ills contlnuanca.
Mr. Zarr kindly thanked thorn for
their confldenco of his succesi but do-
cllncd having any rurllier conversation
upon tho subject, biaauso or his high
regard and personal rriondshlp for Gen.
Ent, nnd sincerely hop3d that ho might
bo spired tho pain of over having occa
sion to npply for such appointment
arising from that cause. Tho llrst per
son who approached Mr. Kami nnd
wanted to know If Iio had a petition
ready, was a Ropubllcan who said ho
must not delay, that a few or tho
Rlug" men or their party were already
at work, nml that KNoituand Roiiison
wore going to havo a rreo fight over It
unless Roniso.v would cavo to Knorr
as usual.
Beckly says by "common consent'
Mr. Rinoler was agreed upon, which
ho and overy ouo clso that knows any
thing about It knows to bo untrue. It
was tho common consent of Knorr,
Beckly and Whitmoyer, when thoy
were having their last consultation I
Other parties wcro standing bynnd want
ed to bo applicants. Their friends wore
dissatLsfiod with Rinqleb and wore
desirous of doing all for Zaur thoy
could, nud ovea desired their "Sage" to
go to Harrlsburg In tho Interest or Z arr.
this shows common consent! Nino
tenths or tholr party In tho town or
Uloomsburg wero dissatisfied, ir their
tones wero exponents or their reclines
In tho matter.
But such articles must necessarily ai
pear In u paper to which truth Is a
stranger.
Tho proposition mado to tho Gover
nor by tho Mends or Mr. Zarr. that
tho offico should bo continued In tho In
terest or General Ent's estate, was a
very proper ono nud If tho editor of tho
Hepubllcan were acquainted with tho
history of our Stato ho might know that
such thiiigs aro not uncommon. And
rurthor ho wants to know "what local
assurance havo wo that this would have
been dono?" Neither Beckly nor his
friends aro entitled to any assuranco on
tho point. If Mrs. Ent waa satisfied
thoy had no causo to complain,
Hosaya "Mra. Ent would scorn to ho
tho recipient of any such bounties."
Does no lntond to convoy tho Idea to
tho public that Mra. Ent? Is an ungrate
ful lady? If ho does wo beg to say ho
has mlstakon her character and kind
ness or heart. Sho was fairly entitled
to that which belonged to her honored
husbaud and had u right to oxpoct that
all docont men would bo willing to lot
hor havo it, without accusing hor of
receiving or asking it as a charity.
ONE WHO KNOWS.
Tlio Elections,
Wo havo llttlo lo ndd to whit wo
printed last wock In regard to tho re
sults of recent oloctlons. Now York
elects tho Radical Stato tlckot by 17,000
to 18,000. Parker (Dcm.) Is elected
Govornor of New Jersey by about fi,000.
Maryland Is Democratic by 16,000 to
20,000. Tho Legislature of Mississippi
Is close, with probably n small Radical
majority. Tho other Statosaro as stated
last week.
There nro hut nlno Democratic coun
lies in South Carolina, nnd In right of
them Mr. Grant proclaims martini law.
Democrats of Pennsylvrnla need
not despair. Our party la right, and
must eventually triumph.
The N. Y. Tribune furnishes n tnblo
showing tlio real cslato purchases of
Tweed nnd others, nnd how rich thoy
havo becomo In n fow years. Now let It
show how Grant hns emerged rrom pov
erty to affiuonco In a fow years, nnd
glvo na n list of hla transactions, if it
wishes to bo considered consistent.
President Grant Is said to havo
taken fright nt tho never-ending expos
ures of fraud nmong tho military ap
pointees or tho govorntnont. It was re
ported In Washington on Monday lhat
moro heavy rrauds, committed by
Washington ofilclals In tho Pension Of.
fico, had been discovered. Names and
particulars aro withheld until arrests
nro mndo.
Carsius M. Clay lately mado n speech
In which he denounced tho Grant nd
ministration in unsparing terms. Con
trallzitlon, ho said, Is tho great danger,
and ndded, "Tho rebellion, Itself, was
not such n blow nt tho liberties of tho
peoplo nnd Iho life-nf tho nation ns tho
present Government."
A movement is on foot nmong cor-
tnin Western Ridical Congrcsjmen to
Innugurato n now rovenuo reform movo
mont In tho Houso this winter, nnd to
urgo Spenker Blnino to constltuto the
Wnys nnd Means Committeo In that In
forest. Blalno is n enndidnto for Vlco
President, nnd will constltuto tho Com
mittoo In such a manner ns to bag tho
most votes for Hint position.
What's the Use? TIiq Washing
ton Patriot wants to know, now that
gold Is only used ns an nrtlclo of mer
chandise, what Is tho uso of Incurring
tho oxpenso or coining It? Would It
not bo ns woll to closo tho Unltod States
Mint, and savo tho millions expended
in coining gold nnd silver, or restrict
its functions to tho production of our
beautiful copper and nickel coins?
It Is now said that tho health of
Queen Victoria Is rapidly Improving,
and that sho will return to public llfo at
an early day. Whatever may bo writ
ton or spokon as to tho political system
which tho Queon represents, ono thlug
Is certain, tho great masses or tho Eng
lish peoplo regard her with tho truest
feelings of loyalty and affection, and
that thoso foellnga nro tho woll-earned
tribute to official and personal merit.
Radicals Domfounded. Tho ad
ministration Journals which havo mado
such loud boa3tsof tho "economy" prac
ticed at Washington, aud tho alleged
"largo reduction" or tho public debt,
aro dumbfounded by tho announcement
mado by tho Republican Secretary of
tho Treasury that out of recoipa amount
log to nearly five thousand millions of
dollars, in fivo years and four months
tho debt has only been reduced sixty -six
millions. Four thousaud nlno hundred
and thirty-four millions spent I
It Is suggested by omlncnt engineers
says tho Chicago Post, that in tho ro
construction of Chicago, there should bo
added a completo syntem of steam blip
ply through all tho streots tho steam
to issue hissing hot iu nil tho houses,
for tho compound purposo of heating
und cooking thus dispensing entirely
with alovcs, coal, und all tho adjuncts of
ordinary Hires. It is snlri that an efficient
system of bteam delivery, to ten or llf-
tceu blocks rrom each central boiler and
engine, would cost very much less than
thu present clumsy method.
One Hundred and Eight Years
Old. Tho Monroa Democrat says
"Mr. Geo. Lallar, or Stroudsburg, Pa..
Is now 10S years old. About two weeks
ago ho took It into his head to hunt for
bees. Accordingly taking his beo tacklo
witli him, ho went out Intohls moadow
and "fired up." Ho som thought
ho had found game, tho bjes coura
Ing to wards a largo curlcy maplo
in tho woods. Ho at onco set ut work to
full tho tree. It took him two days and
nlmir to bring dowu tho tree, when tho
old man was somowhut chagrined to
find tho boas wero not there. Slnco that
tlmo "ho has been cutting hoop-poles,
which ho thinks pays hotter tha n hunt
ing bees."
Enoaoementh. In Europo nn en-
gago ment partakes or the solemnity or
tnomariagorlto. It is tho subject or rami
lydiscussloti and negotiation, it must ro-
ciovo tho solemn assent or parents or
guardians, and Is a matter which is
formally announced to ull tho rrlonda of
tho family. To break It off without tho
gravest causo would mako n much
greater scandal than u divorce In ono of
our now States. An intimacy or a
dubious character Is novor permitted
botween young pooplo, and our Ameri
can gossip on such subjects has, there
fore, no existence. Tho laxity or Boclal
intorcourso here makes tho question
propounded by our author, ono or overy
day occurrence. The public are not
only puzzloJ to answer It, but vory
often tho rrlonds, relations, and ovon
tho parents, nro no bettor Informed,
In 1810 tho opposition carried Penn
sylvania, mid tho next year tlio Demo
crats ro-olectod Gov. Porter by an over
whelming majority. In 1831, Pollock,
Know Nothing, was electod by 37,000
majority, and tho following year tho
Democrats elected Arnold Pltttnor Canal
Commissioner by -1,837. In 1850 Bu
chanan's majority was but 3,105 and in
1857 Gov. Packer was elected bv a ma
jority or li!l7fll. In 16OT tho Stato wont
against us by 17,178 and tho next year
tho Democrats elected Judgo Share-
wood,
Theso results are sufficient to show
that In a great Stato like Pennsylvania,
35,000 or 31,000 majority for n party ono
year Is no certain indication or tho sue
eoss of tho samo party tho next vear.
And whon the fact that nbout 125,000
voters did not go to tho polls at all at
ho lato olcctlon Is taken into consldera
Hon, who can foretell at this tlmo whnt.
will bo tho decision of tho pooplo nt tho
JTositientiai election noxt fall ?
Tlipy Alll'hinilert
It has como to light that ox-Bonator
E. D. Morgan, of Now York, nnd tho
Hon. Onkes Ames, n mcnibor or tno
Houso of Representatives from Massa
chusetts, who wore mndo trustees to
sign tho llrst mortago bonds nulhorlzed
to bo Issued by tho Union Pacific Rail
road Company, tho ultimate payment
of which Is guaranteed by tho Unltod
Statos, got very welt paid, lo say tho
least, for attaching tholr signatures to
theso securltlw. It will ho remembered
that both of theso gentlemen wcro
members of tho Pacific Railroad Com
mitteo In their rcspcctlvo bodloa nt tho
tlmo thoso bonda wore nuthorlzod to bo
issued, nud It turns out that tho then
Sonator from Now York charged nnd
was paid $1.00 for each bond signed by
him. nmountlnrr to tho sum of $30,000
or moro, whllo his collcaguo In tho othor
Houso from Massachusetts was content
to bo paid $1 for each signature, or
about $20,000 for tho samo service. . Wo
glvo thoso racts and lcavo tho country
to Judgo or thu propriety of such conduct
on tho part of Radical legislator.!.
It turns out that tho " confessions "
of tho so-called Ku-Klux nrrestcd In
South Carolina, on which such stress is
laid by tlio disciples of John Scott,
merely show that there Is apolitical
association lu that State organized for
the overthrow of Radical plunderers
nt tho ballot-box, called tho "Invislblo
Empire." Grant is using tho nrmy of
tho United Stntos to break up this po
litical bociety, by persecuting its Indi
vidual members. Tho tax-paycra of
tho North nro required to pay millions
of dollars for tho services or tho nrmy
In perpetuating tho rule of tho thieves
In South Carolina who havo robbed
that Stato of $00,000,000 nnd tlttorly
Impoverished her people. Would It not
bo well for Grant to investigate tho
treasonable Ridlcal Union Lcaguo of
tho North? Sunbary Democratl
Clearly tho Germans havo no
genlous for stealing. Tho summing up
of financial affairs In Prussia for tho
past year shows a total of nineteen
thousand dollars lost by official pecu
lations, nnd ns tho olfoudera nro nil In
prison, serving out rather long terms,
It Is hoped that next year's showing
will bo oven bettor than this, particu
larly as there Is now no war to demora
lize tho public servants. Happy Prussia!
The "Union Lcaguo" of Philadel
phia, after having mado every effort to
elect n mau of doubtful reputation to
tho Mayorality of tho city, refuses to
admit him to membership I They Im
Iioso him upon tho public but will not
accept hi in themselves I That Is a sam
plo of tho honorablo impulses of the
concern.

Grant to-day la exercising moro
despotic power than any crowned head

Europe who dares to selzo his subjects
and thrust them into dungeons without

The Charleston Xetcs says that tho
