Tho Iieccher trial is ended, tho jury hav
ing been unable to agree,' standing nine for
IiJechcr to three for Tilton. Excepting in a
technical view, this is a complete acquittal of
Beccher. When nine men out of twelvo tip
pointed to judge, are ot the samo opinion
about the facts of a caso tho judgment is of
as much if not more value in every sense ex
ccpt tho technical one than if all had agreed
and it as effectually defeats tho purpose of
Tilton in this caso to obtain damages. It is
a good thing that tho loathsome subject will
now pass from tho public mind. If tho sub
ject bo brought into court again it will
scarcely attract much attention. Tho par
ties to the .suit aro both bold bad men, and
this fact being established both will be com
paratively harmless for serious mischief
hereafter.
Tho Radical organs aro after Senator liooth
of California. They look on him as a trai
tor for saying: "when parties represent
honest (inferences, of opinion upon living po
litical questions they aro just and proper;
when the questions between them aro obso
lete, they aro useless ; when they servo to
prevent tho consideration of present issues,
they aro obstacles; when they perpetuate ha
tred and sectional strife, they aro evils; when
their machinery falls into tho bauds of the
few to bo employed or selfish purpose! and
to defeat tho popular will, they aro corrupt
and oppressive; when tho machinery of both
or cither can bo indifferently manipulated
by tho samo men in tlio interest of private
gain and corporato greed, they are rotten,
and ought to be destroyed.
California seems very well entitled to its
claim of being the most proiperous Stato in
tho Union. Last year thero were shipped ten
.million quintals of wheat and flour, tlio val
ue of which was $o,000,000. Of wool there
were sent 80,000,000 pounds. Tho vineyards
yielded 7,000,000 gallons of wino and 200,
000 gallons of brandy. Tho yield of bullion
was $20,300,031. Tho receipts of lumber at
San Francisco wcro 2011,000,000 feet. Tho
imports of coal show an increase of 77,370
tons, whilo tho consumption of pig iron
showed an incrcaso of 5,000 tons. Thoso
statistics aro particularly interesting as im
plying a large growth of population, a de
velopment of the natural woaltli.of tho sec

Hut a truce to tho picture. Reform, sub

chango i n the men who conduct the govern'

Common Schools anil In-iiiiity.
o observe articles "going tho rounds" of
tho newspapers charging tho "common
school system" for laying tho foundation of
many ot the mental diseases that exist, and
Dr. Cunvin is quoted as authority. The rea
sons assigijcU aro that tho children arc bent
to school too youn-' that loo much study is
imposed upon them, and that too many pu
pils aro crowded into many of tho schools.
Now, admitting tho objections to exist, will
these wise mengivo the public any assurance
that tho evils complained of will cease to ex
ist if tho common school system be abolish
ed ? Is not their position against education
and not against a particular plan ? Wo tako
that fact to bo obvious. Tho school system
prevents tho attendance of any child under
six years of ago. Is not that old enough to
be sent to school? If not, would the aboil
Hon of tho school law prevent tho evil
Would tho abolition of tho law prevent school
cramming, cither as to studies pursued or
numbers in particular rooms? Nonsense!
It thero bo sueh evils amend the law so as
to prevent them, Abolishing tho law would
not accomplish tho end.
Injurious study, such as produces mental
weakness and imbecility, Is moro often pro
duccl by encouragement and pratso than
by anv other means. Is that to bo rogulatod
by law, too, or to bo effected by abolishing
school systems ? Weak minds nro easily im
prossod, they are likely to bo tho most for
ward pupil, superficially tho most promis
ing, tho most readily stimulated by llattery,
and the moit Mtsceptiblo to crammiuir. Do
tho philosophers of the Curwlii phase mean
to keep them out nf school, lnj law, or by
abolishing laws? Can tho evil bo corrected
in that way?
Yet such blab as referred to is patroulzln
ly copied by w!a editors, after being iiicul

That the children aro often forced or fiat-
tcreil to study Un much is not denied. Hut
tho school system has iibtliiiig to do with
that. The tact will exist wherever school
education is pursued, To knock good seiuo
into tlio heads of parents is tho only remedy
that we can conceive of, nnd unless they
have some school education to utill.o it wo
do not sco how even that is to do any good

Tho Auditing U.'p.irlmcnt and tlio Treasury
Work t ) In duiio and attendant Squirming,
When Auditor General Tcmplo wns in
daetcd into office ho was not only determined
to dlsch.rgo his duties faithfully, but wni well
awaro of tho fact that, as soon as tho leeches
and shysters discoven-d Ills proper Intention
that bo would bo misrepresented and attacked.
illowasnot blind, but bad tho wholo case
I beforo him. lie knew (for tho subject was
lNeussed) that honest men would bo prima
rily misled by n cry for Impossibly speedy
action, bo was nvaro that tho formal news
paper attack would In tho first caso bo made
in tlio New York HWci, and that as soon as
explanations would begin to render them dis
creditable they would bo dropped by, that
paper and taken up by tho disreputable Sun,
and that tlieso attacks would bo reproduced
in this Stato wherever tho Treasury plun-
Icrcrs could Itillucnco newspapers cither by
direct request or imposition. All that was
duly discounted by tho Auditor General lu
advance, but with .Taeksotilaii nerve ho de
termined to discharge his proper duty in a
prudent and manly way, and to "let Rome
howl."
Tho work before him was ono of no mean
magnitude. Tho accounts of corporations,
lelinquent officials in largo numbers and dis
bursing and receiving officers generally, were
to bo carefully examined, tested and actually
verified. In all this tho Auditor General
should havo had tho active aid of tho Stato
Treasurer, but instead that official threw ev
ery impediment in tho way of his progress.
riicroaro an immense mass of books em
bracing long and iiitriealo accounts in tho
Auditing department of the State, tho bool:3
of the State Treasurer ought to bo and those
of tho State departinentnnd Attornoy Gener
al must be examined in tho connection by
tho Auditor General before ho can bo certain
of accuracy in his accounts, and very fre
quently it is not until after demand is niado
ind tho debtor files his plea that he is abso
lutely certain, "lie sure you are right, then
go ahead," is a trite, rough and plainly prop
er maxim lor anv one and especially lor an
olliccr upon whom the public attention is
rivctted and in tho proper dischai 'o of
who-o duties the public have so largq,an in
terest. Hut the denunciations we have re
ferred to commenced before Gen. Temple
had time to read tho indexes of his ledgers,
much less examine the accounts Their in
justice is therefore palpable Although only
two months in office he has already detected
hundreds of thousands of delinquencies and
placed them m position for prompt collec
tion. A collision with tho Treasury is sure
to occur and at no distant period, for the
point will soon havo been reached where
atisfactory explanation or a bold defiance
becomes inevitable. Peculation and discrep
ancy are being hedged into a' corner, and
when their votaries find themselves pres-ed
thero they will have no other rocour-o but to
fight. Their life will be nt stake, they are
malignant?, despcrato and reckless, and they
will strike for life and to kill. Every imas-
inable impediment will bo thrown out in de
fenco and every conceivable or possiblo spe
cies of vituperation, falsehood and slander
will be set nllo.it ngainst their honest foes.
We havo had long experience in both official
and privato station nt Uarrisburg, wo have
been fighting this samo description of plun-
ilcrers for many a year, and wo know their
habits as does the hunter thojo of the
wild beasts. Wo were not mistaken in pre
dicting in advance what the plunderers
would do, and.whcro they would find their
allies and access to tlio public ear, and wc
are not mistaken now.
Wo havo every confidence in the manly
ncrvo and moral power of Gen, Temple.
Iho very fact that ho did not rush headlong
like a bull at a fair, but carefully measured
his ground, and first ascertained his own
position and then .planted himself firmly
upon ascertained facts susceptible of proof,
suggests his earnestness and that ho can be
depended upon. Every honest man in tho
land ought to hold up his hands in well
doing, give no heed to tho misrepresenta
tions of tlio vampyres in tho Now York pa
pers, or other liars or blind followers who
choose to join in tho chorus of insinuation,
slander and detraction, the weapons of tho
culprits. It will take a full year of hard,
careful work, and possibly two or thrco of
them, to hunt up and demonstrate all the
frauds that Radical officials have perpetiatcd
upon tho State, and tho fact that tho proper
officer is earnestly at work at it in good
faith, as is abundantly shown by tho expos
ures already made, should at least be suffi
cient to induce all honest men nnd especially
editors to withhold complaint if they do not
deem it a duly to commend.
Hon. Thomas H. Florence, formerly
member of Congress from tho first district
of this State, died at Washington city on
the !5d iiist. The Hon. Tom, was a charac
ter uniquo but good. Fond of bombast he
was honest and faithful to his professions.
His talents peculiarly fitted him for his
original occupation, a liatter, and his sccon
ilary one, a rough-and-tumble but earnest
and eU'ectivo orator of tho kind, and made
him a strong and next to irrcsistablo caudi

when antagonised by Tom 1'lorouce, they
wero crushed out. llo continued to repre

engaged in oilier business, nbovo his abili
ties, and he was not successful. As ho was
nn honest man ho mado no money in Con
gress and was always poor. Last fall, prob
ably for patriotic purposes, possibly for
charity, ho was again put forward in his old
district for Congress, 1 lo lurain commanded
a majority of votes, but tho "lightening cal
dilators" counted him out. llo appealed to
Congress, whero ho would no doubt havo
been successful, had not death relieved him
from the toils and cares of this world, "Ho

ono honest nnd patriotic. His soul may
bnvo been too great for his body but it de
serves to rest In peace.

Third Term Conrluslotis,
Gen, Grant's letter on tho third term
quostlon wrw clearly not a declination, but
was an announcement at least that under
certain circumstances ho would again bo a
candidate Tlio elections, tills; fall, we con
ccivc, will clearly devclopo thoso clrcuui'
stances. If tho Republicans carry, General
Grant will justly claim it as nn endorsement
of his administration mid a demand for its
continuance, if the Republicans lose the
elections, It will show him and his party
clearly that ho cm not bo re-elected, nnd
tlio office-holders will discover their In
terest to bo lu n candidate who may stand a
chauco of election. At present, tho office
holders as a body aro of course for Grant, be
cause ho will bo moro certain to keep them
in position than another President would
bo; but if tlio elections demonstrate that he
can not again bo elected, they will nil favor
tho nomination of somo Republican who
they will hope can bo successful.
It is plain,tlicn, that tho way to defeat
tho third term aspirations of President Grant
is to defeat the Uepiiblican party this fall,
and every voter in that party who is really
opposed to n third term ought to sco tills.
It is tho only way to prevent Grant from
being nominated again.
Twenty-six Millions.
On July 1st, out of tho treasury of the
general Govermcnt was paid lo tho Nation
al bankers and bondholders of tlio country
licenty-aLv millions of dollars in gold, as in
terest on I'ovcriiincnl bonds, . This amount
of money has been collected off of the farm
ers, tho business nnd the workingmcn in tho
shape of taxes during tho past year. Every
cent of it could bo saved lo pay tho princi
pal of the public debt, if tho contract made
nt tho timo tho bonds were issued was faith
fully carried out. They aro payablo in
greenbacks another kind of promises to pay,
that bear no interest and cost tho tax-payc rs
nothing but tlio expense of issuing. If the
ltadieal party that is now ruling the coun
try would chango the character of the public
debt by' exchanging greenbacks for bonds, it
would 'save tho public twenty-six millions of
gold interest yearly, which amount could
eventually be used to redeem the greenbacks.
Thus the government debt could bo paid in
gold, simply by saving yearly tho interest
that is now paid to bond-holders.
The farmer, the mechanic, tho business
man and tho laborer aro compelled to re
ceive greenbacks as a legal tender lor an
debts. Why should not tho bond-holder
reecivo tiio same? Is ho who loans the Gov
ernment his money any better than ho who
toils and produces the wealth that gives the
Government its credit ? Is the man who,
taking advantage of tlio necessities of Gov
ernment in time of war, forced it to pay ex
orbitant Usury for the use of his money, any
better than he who risked his life and limbs
in tho defence of a cause ho thought right?
Then why should a distinction be made?
Why should tho producer and tho soldier be
compelled to receive as legal money Gov
ernment promises to pay, and the bond-holder
and money lender protected in his demand
for gold ?
If greenbacks arc a "legal tender," let them
be tendered to tho bond-holders of the coun
try as they are to other people, and if ho re
fuses to accept them, let his claim against
the tax-r ayers in the shape ol a bond ' go
to the dogs." llellfontc Watcaium.
Thero was once a Pennsylvania legislator
who laid by islU.OOO in one Session. When
ho was asked how ho managed this witli a
salary of $1,000, ho said lie saved it by doing
without a hired girl. JCvcliunyc.
That was a pretty thrifty law-maker, but
ho is nothing in the way of saving to our
present Stato Treasurer. His name, as every
body knows, is Hob, JIackey, and ho is a fi
nancial manager of tho "Cameron ling."
When Robert was bclcctcd by Cameron
just ns ho recently selected Rawlo to take
charge of tho people's money, he was so
poor that tho balance at his banker's would
not havo bought a crusader a chnnco to
smell a pint of Mounngnhohi forty miles oil'
Hut Robert was thrifty, and ns economical
as Cameron himself; and yet Robert wasn't
mean; not a bit of it. Ho only got S.'i.OUU
per year, which is a good deal of money in
tho hands of a thrift y man, and out of thi
ho has lived as befitted tho Treasurer of
tlio State, has paid off several old debts liki
an honorable man ; subscribed many thous
amis annually to tho "Cameion ring" cor
ruption fund ; taken 840,000 stock in the
Pittsburgh Commercial ; lo-t 100,000
through his friend Yerkcs in Philadelphia ;
paid for a brown stouo residence in ono of
the fashionable streets in the (Junker City ;
and when ho drives out, does so behind an
Sl,S0O span of liorscs on llroad street. And
nil sinco 1808 out of a salary of 85,000. It
is not likely ho has accomplished all this as
tlio honest member alluded to nbovo did, by
"doing without a hired girl." Moro likely
Robert has tho samo gilt as tlio boy who ap
plied to a merchant for work. Tho mer
chant said ho really could not afford to em
ploy any additional help. "Hut," said the
honest boy, "I don't want much wages; I'm
very lucky and always find more than my
wages." Wo think tho people of Pennsyl
vania lind better get rid of Stato Treasurers
that "find moro than their waccs." hric Oh-

Here is something for tax-payers lo read
Tho last Democratic Governor of Pennsylva
nia was Win. F. Packer. Tho expenses of
his administration for tlio year 18.VJ cost the
tax-payers 40S,O!J7.40. The first Republi
can Governor was Andrew G. Curtln, now a
Liberal mid an honest official. His admin
istratiou cost tho tax-payers lor tho year
1802, $119,028.87. Tlio diH'erenco can well
bo accounted for bv tho fact that tho war
had commenced, and tho expenses of the
Commonwealth increased thereby. Hut wo
nro now at peace, and certainly tho cost of
carrying on tho government ought not lo bo
moro now than it was under Cuttiii, Hut it
is. Gov. Hartranft is tho last Republican
Governor, and ho is asking for a re-election
on his record. That shows that for the year
1874 his administration cost tho tax-payers
?1,090,103.C3, or 8517,124,7-r moro than dur
ing tho first year of tlio war. Is it any won
der tlio peoplo oxperienco difficulty in pay
ing their taxes when their receipts aro dl
miulshiiig and tho expenses of maintaining
their officials lu office aro increasing?

Tho clrcumstaiicos connected -with his In
auguration, tho awkward blunders hematic,
when ho first atlmpHl to call the SonaUi to
order, and his astonishing ignoranci of fa
miliar parliamentary usages, which abashed
his friends and reddened their faces with
blushes of shame, riro still fresh in tlio mem
ories of nil. A short timo after this ho was
stricken with n lingering and powlhly In
curable physical ailment, ono which has de
stroyed or partially Impaired the intellect of
stronger nion than ho ever could hopu 1 1 be,
and ho was compelled for a number of
months to remain In tlio charge of his phy
sicians. During tills timo a charitable imili
tie obscured his shortcomings and longgolngs
mid tho public was given to understand,
through frequent explanations, that his
health of mind and body was soon to bo
restored. His absence was missed in tho
Senate moro ns n soureo of congratulation
than anything else, because his place was
temporarily filled byu man of acceptable If
not brilliant ability. When ho returned to
his duties, however, his prcscuco was hailed
with words of welcome, nnd the honor ex
tended to him which belonged to his high
office, if respect to tho man was withheld,
Ho nt onco misunderstood himself, and al
lowed his vanity to deceive him regarding
ill's actual situation. Wo do not charge that
his disease had in any way impaired ills
mind; built is a well-known fact that his
manner was changed, and that while his ef
forts lo be acknowledged as a mediator
for tho settlement of parly diliereiice.s were
renewed with wonted vigor, it was notieeablo
that ho bad lost Ids bold and aggressive man
lier of dealing with tho opposition. Ho
burly cowered beforo tho men with whom,
in times past, it was his glory to measure
words. Among the first lo be frightened at
tho continued assaults ot tho so-called Inde
pendent or Detective prcus against leading
Kepublicaus, ho was al-o the first to shiver
and run away from tlio third-term spectre.
hcthcr truo or not, it was his misfortune
lo havo his namo connected with tales of
Credit Mobilier operations, and ho became
so thin-skinned, so cringingly cowardly,
that ho trembled at the rtistlo af a newspa
per, and sought by the most undignified lo
quacity lo make friendships with newspaper
men of every class. Day after day and week
after week tho spcclaclo might have been
been seen, during that particular as well us
subsequent sessions of Congress, of the Vice
President of tho United States seeking in
terviews with the journalists of high and
low degree, and of good and bad repute, who
abound so frequently in Washington on
such occasions. Xntionnl l?iublktu.
The New York Journnt of Commerce pre
scuts an able review of the financial difficul
ties of the country, in which it takes the po
sition that "there must be a general liqitidn
tion ot accumulated debts beloro there can
bo any return of national prosperity. There
may be brief intervals of temporary reli
from tlio extreme depression, but the relapse
will leave the condition wor-o than before,
and the crisis of a general settlement is the
turning point which must bo passed on tlio
way to perfect recovery." Its plan of fi
nances is metallic, but without opening an
argument on that point, as some may bedis
posed to do, it cannot bo denied that tho
foregoing theory of 'liquidation' before pros
perity can bo restored is sound, and it lias
been and must continue lo be till accomplish
ed a great question "how best to introduce
and conduct this liquidation." It seem
nio-t probable that no plan will bo adopted
that can successfully accomplish it, and the
result will bo havo to be worked out by tho
necessities of the case. If so, thero is more
trouble ahead ; but should the difficulties bo
modified by a moro able and honest hand
ling of tlic financial problem than wo have
had, there may be such relief as to bring us
back to prosperity slowly and without worso
times than those that will beset the country
between now and the hour of relief.

candidate for Lieutenant Governor, and Tlio
mas Powell, candidate for Attorney Geu

eyes upon their brethren in Pennsylvania
and be content. Here some Republicans
venture to complain becaiiso both the candi
dates on the Stato ticket wero Democrats un
til ten years after the organization of the Re'
publican party, and until tiiero wasn't i
whole plank left of the old Democratic par
ty faith. If tho old Republicans of this
State could get a chance just now and then
to bo the candidates of their party they would
bo happy, but tho only Republicans running
in Pcniisplvania to-day are tho Temperance
candidates. Thev were Republicans when
it cost something to bo a Republican, and it
has been the principal business nf that class
to do the voting and let eleventh-hour la
borers bag tho pennies.
As a concnuenco of tho Auditor General's
investigations so far, though ho has ju-t

Our Republican friends havo no cuise for anx
iety this year about tho Prohibition deserters, nl
the itovemlicr vote will not bo c!oe. The title

making an aggregate of two million fix hundred
