of general claims against the State. There

John Cessna is not only as pestiferous but

to get a clerkship in the Attorney General's

with the general snobbery prevailing at

title of Deputy Attorney General. The peo

a number of the clerks of the CtH Auditor's
office, who are charged with connection with
frauds upon the department in disclosing
bids to rival bidders. As such frauds are
common to all the departments at Washing

general. As remarked by the Philadelphia

They have had an election in tho little
teapot State of liliodj Island. Although
great excitement prevailed the aggregate vote
does not exceed that of many of our Congress
ional districts. An 'independent" Repub
lican candidate for Governor has more votes
than the regular nominee of that party, and
a Democratic candidate has about one-fifth
of the whole number. As a majority over
all is required, the election will now go to
tfie Legislature, a majority of which will be
bought up by one of the aspirants. Upon
the whole, the result is about as important
as a sharply contested election for Burgees

Wo believe it is not tho practice of that
court to announce in advance what their de-
cislons will be, or to make the time of their
delivery dependent upon the occurrence of
elections, or to permit results at the polls to
govern its judgment. The Judges of the

moralizing Radical times.

The most foolish of all absurd things is
for the workmen to give nny excuse for the

Should her strength not bo sufficient, the

is as senseless as to denounce tho sun for

should bo careful not to do anything that
will give the slightest excuse for the exercise
of State authority or for calliug upon the
military. Public opinion sympathises with
them in fair and just demands, but will
sternly condemn them for violence. With
public opinion ou their side, and correct ac

of compensation. The corporations who are
the principal aggressors ajainst them, must
yield in the end to the public voice, for their
very existence is only by sufferance. A war
to wipe them out by legal means will be in

Shameful 1
The Lawistown Democrat has a fearful
bill of indictment against tho managers of
the Soldiers' Orphau School at McAUitstcr-
ville. It eaya that "tho fearful prevalence of
typhoid fever thero is directly traceablo to
filth, that they havo but one washer-woman,
and that tho children are cheated iu their
food, in their clothing, and in tho ordinary
means of preserving health j and that, sick
or well, they aro treated little better than
dogs; that their food is littlo better than
lop ; that they aro lousy, raw with itch,
and much more to the same general effect,
even down to the teachers eating 'the oran
ges sent them by Mrs. Huttcr for the sick."
If these charges aro true, the authorities
ought to look Into this matter. It is a terri
ble shame that fatherless children should bo
treated in such a manner, and the teachers
of the school ought to be summarily and so
verely dealt with, Lt the charged bo at

"The Uead Democracy."
Of the thirty-seven Governors, nineteen
are Democrats, sixteen Republicans and two
Independents. Of the same number of Leg
islatures, twenty aro Democratic, fourteen
are Republican and three Independent. Our
radical fricuds have repeatedly told us the
Democracy was dead With a majority of
Governors and Legislatures, a largo majority
iu tho House of Representatives and a bare
majority agalust them iu the Senate, we
think such assertions smack strongly of the
absurd. We presume that, after wo have
elected a President in '70, and put the coun
trv noon tho bitch road to peace and prosper
ity, they will still give utteniuce to that
decided chimera, "the Democracy is dead,'
and roll over Into the waves of oblivion.-

THE COLUMBIAN AND DEMCRAT, BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA.
The old fashioned, sensible and profitable
"spelling matches," whero tho ildo that
lnised most words lost tho contest, is now
supplanted by n new fanglcd humbug en
titled "spelling bee," where each contestant
Is excluded from tho contest tho moment ho
or she mis-spells a word tho best Bpcller of

cies nnd Inaccuracies Is Usually taken as tho
standard, and It Is thereforf necessary that
the contestant should bivu carelnlly hunted
up and studied the wry last edition. Web
ster onco issued editions of a dictionary pre
pared by him that were of great valno as
learned works and to a great extent standard

to life) recognise the work published under
his name. Since his death his great work
has fallen Into the hands of finical profes
sors of Yato college, who havo nn cyo rather
to money making than to tho improvement
of theorthographlcal structure of the English
language or Its correct definition. They
havo thereforcaltered Webster's spcdllng and
definitions' to suit popular whims and so far
as to force paoplo to buy now editions of
their dictionaries. To keep up with all the
various editions would probably occupy tho
wholo of anybody's wakeful hours It is
therefore not singular that contestants In
spelling matches, where qualifications are of
tho highest grade, should frequently fall to
come up or go down to the standard of the
"latost " The Philadelphia livening Chron
icle thus discourses after a recent event of
the kind its editor witnessed :
A spollin ' "Bee" is no more a criterion
by which to judge of tho orthographic quail-
licatinus ni nn individual, tliaii would the
walking of a singlo block indicate a man's
capacity fur competing with Weston. At
tho lato "Bee" at the Academy, one of tho
most accomplished spellers in' the city was
tho first one to retire nnd upon so aim tile n
word as "musketeer." A proof reader of
tuirty years standing, made too ridiculous
mistake of spelling obelisk n-b-c-l-i-s-q-u-c.
Another line orthographist, who we aro well
assured is competent to wrestle with almost
any of tho words Noah Webster has managed
to crowd into his famous Unabridged, pro
voked roars of laughter by commencing to
spell "psalmody" thus "s-a-m j" and other
equally gilteii persons made similarly ludi
crous mistakes.
The gentleman or lady who spells before
a critical audience of three thousand tier-
sons, occupies .1 position well calculated to
unsettle the nerves of the stoutest, and cspc-
cially when, as on that occasion, tho contest
was ono in wincli eacli speller had resolved
to win if possible. Thero aro few capable
of passing through such nn ordenl without a
tremor ol the nerves, nnd consequently, such
blunders as those wo have named, ludicrous
as they were, wero to have Hccn anticipated ;
and they in fact were tho features that gave
most zest to the entertainment. Tho young
lady who was at last tripped on "hawser,
would In all probability havo met with alike
mishap had the word been given her on the
lirsl round, where tnen, would have oecn
the laurels she now so gracefully wears?
Had tho first victim, who failed on "nuiske
trer," been given some other nnd even more
difficult word, tho chances are that thc
would have stood among tho champion .six.
Goinc down amoiie the first is therefore not
conclusive evidence of a want of knowledge
ol good spelling, but simply the result ol
chance, and while the sixty-four ladies and
gentlemen who failed to win prizes are to be
commisserated for tho wan tot luelc.it wmild
be altogether unfair to say that they were
poor orthographists. They made n mistake
each, butonly because the word they couldn't
master reached them a little too early in the
attie.
The amusement is an innocent one but not
a test of ability.

foreign News.
The principal point of Interest Iu Europe
an -news is tho struggle between the German
l-.mpire, led by Bismarck, and the Church of
Rome, headed by the Pope, for supienincv In
authority over ecclesiastics. Prussia claims
unlimited control over and lovaltv from
tho priests nnd prelates within Its bounds,
which Is resisted by n portion of tho latter,
who, In religious matters, ncknowledgo obc-
llcnceoniy nsdue to tho head of the Church.
It Is announced in Franco that tho Pope Im
m.ulj representations: through the Patriarch
of Venice, to the Emperor of Austria, that
Ihe position or the Church Is becoming more
and moro Intolerable, and that If tho imrcn
Bunnblo demands of Prus-la aro not resisted
by tho Catholic powers, tiio latter will lose
nil their influence nnd becomo subject to tho
Oennan Government, which Is endeavoring
to bring the whole German nationality under
one sceplro.
1'ho Emperor, replying to this through tho
Austrian Ambassador at Rome, deplores tho
struggle between Church and State nnd ad
vises prudence.
Stringent laws aro being enacted by tho
German Parliament to enable Bismarck to
carry out Ids purposes.
Tho Carllst cause has been sutlerlng ninch
from defeat nnd desertion lately nnd its end
s probably near,
A Dangerous Counterfeit.
There is now hclmr circulated nno nf thi
most dangerous nnd best executed counter
feits of our nntional currency that has vet
made its appearance. The bill is of the de
nomination of five dollars, on the Traders'
National Bank. Chicairo. III. W'a lmvn nut
heard that nny of our business men linve ns
yet been victimized, but it would bo ns well
to give, fivo dollar bills of tho abovo bank a
most rigid scrutiny beforo accepting any of
them, Exchange.
So dangerous is the above, and several
other counterfeit fives on different Chicago
banks, that the government is calling iu all
the genuine bills of that denomination of
those banks that havo been issued. Tho best
wny is to refuse nil Chicago fives.
It is a matter of some interest to tho people
of this country to note the naval strength of
other lands, as it is upon the ocean tho Uni
ted States will have tojoin issue with foreign
powers if thoy trespass upon our rights or
iusult our nationality. From land attack
wo have nothing to fear. Three thousand
miles is too far to transport troops with any
chance of success. The contingencies of
wind and weather, to say nothing of the diffi
culty of landing large bodies of men in tho
face of determined opposition, settles the
question of an invasion of this country in
case of war between the United States and
some over-ocean antagonist. But on the
water the tug of war can bo waged, and
hence it is well to understand how our navy
compares with that of other nations and
kingdoms. Austria lias a navy of 47 steam
ers. Franco has 02 paddle steamers, G2 iron
ciaus, unarmed sailing vessels and a
total of G72 guns. The navy of the German
Empire consists of 11 iron clads, 57 steam
ers nnd 5 sailing vessels witli 472 guns. Tho
British Navy is composed of 112 sca-going
steamers, and 127 reserve steamers and sail
ing vessels; of these 02 are iron-clads, many
of them of the first class. These vessels aro
manned, officered nnd equipped by 00,000
men of all grades and ranks. Greece has
9 1 ships and 793 guns and Portugal 22 steam
ers and 25 sailing vessels. Upon the ocean
Russia has 202 ships and 1,535 guns, nnd
Spain 73 steamers, 24 paddle steamers, and
13 sailing vessels. Sweden has 130 ships of
war, Turkey 20 iron clads nnd 70 steam
ers, and 7 ships of the line, 0 frigates,
9 corvettes, 7 brigs, 18 gunboats and 27
transports. The naval forces of the United
States consisted on Julv 15, 1874, of 18 iron
clads, 03 other steamers, and 25 sailing ves
sels. The facts set forth above show how
well the United States is prepared to meet
other nations on the ocean, enforce her just
claims and defend her rights. Exchange.

After such prominent Confederates ns Long-

It is a fact to which the
vnius cannot too often revert tli.it nnd
cratic administration fifteen years ago the ordi
nary expenses of the Slate government were
less than $100,000 per year and now they are
over $1,000,000 per year.
The drift of the argument on the part of the
defendants before the Supreme Court, as to the
constitutionality of tho enforcement acts, seems
to bo an attempt to establish the fact that white
men have equal rights under the Constitution
with black men.
Grant blames Hawley'K friends for selling out
his third term candidate for governor, and
Il.iwley's friends declare that the latter would
have been elected if he bail not carried the dead
weight of Grant's bad record. "Thero once
were two cats in Kilkenny," etc.
Governor Tilden, of New York, is making
war upon the canal ring of that State. Gov.
llartrauft has an equal chnncc to di-tinguUli
himself by making war upon the Philadelphia
rings; bnt he won't undertake it. He would
rather lie re-elected than be right,
Tho doubling of the postage on transient
newspapers, Ac, shows that governmental ex
travagance must bo provided for in as many
ways as possible. The Public ledger thinks It
will be discovered that other laws of the same
nature have been ' rall-roadcd" through Con
gress. A committco of the Massachusetts Legisla
ture are considering the expediency of incorpor
ating "fidelity insurance companies," to insure
the personal honesty of officers, public or pri
vate, under bonds or other speci d obligation for
tho faithful udmiulstraticn of their offices.
The Republicans In the Legislature tried
manfully to save Governor Harlranfl the disa
greeable necessity of signing, vetoing or pocket
ing local option repeal. It would have been so
much preferable to face both ways and to pitch
the tune to suit tho taste of the dancers in the
coining canvas fur election of governor.
If Connecticut Is lost to Grant ho doubtless
derives comfort from tho rillcclioo that Louisi
ana still remains, und cannot be taken from Mm
by any such device as the ballot as lnug a tho
bayonet Is kept at the throats of her people.
Tho superiority of the bayonet over the ballot
Is thus made apparent to the dullest compre
hension. Tho returns from tho State of Michigan as
they straggle In nro not of an assuring kind for
tho Republican party. It is now believed that
the D.-moerats havo elected ten of tho twenty,
