Sundry postmasters hsivo inquired of the
Postmaster General whether they will bo re
quired to pay assessments for political pur
poses. The Postmaster General "declines to
give advice," which means that tho local
postmasters must pay whatever is demanded
of them by Radical committees, and that is
a sample of the way elections are to be car
ried. The crops in Kansas and Missouri are re
ported to be "splendid ;" even in the grass-
hopper districts thero will be a two-thirds
corn crop. A new kind of buffalo grass is
springing up in tho fields ravaged by the
grasshoppers ; and tho farmers aro greatly
excited thereat. Tho crop prospects in Ar-
kansas are described as "better than ever
before kuown" in that State.
The fourth of July was celebrated.th rough

the "union of hearts and the union of
hands" that existed previous to tho advent
of abolitionism and radicalism.

Paper money bauks tend to aggravate tho
inequality of fortunes, to make tho rich rich

tho laboring classes, because they receive
no favors, and the price of the property they
wish to acquire is raised to the paper maxi

iinum.
Tho advantages of ring administration

THE
Stato Treasurer Hankers and Ctntlhlntes.
A ltnrrUbiirg writer who cither cannot
read or can not understand plain words cor
rectly, says through a Willlam-quirt paper to
lilch ho has obtained ncccss, that there Is
'going tho rounds of tho Stato press and
credited to tho llloomsburg Col.UMMAN an
article on the Stato Treasurcrship which
conta.ns nn unfair political reflection ono
hich no Intelligent business man would
make and which by tho unavoidable auc
tion Implied in copying It docs n anno In-
ustlco to the party nnd to very worthy mem
bers of It. Tho man who will deliberately
pen that n great, liberal nnd Intelligent par
ty is opposed to banks nnd brokers, politi
cly or otherwise, gives to tho public
lat is intrinsically false, whether Inten
tionally or not." Now wo say to this writer,
luarcly, that ho never saw or read such an
article as ho describes "going the rounds of
f tho State press," credited to tho lllooms
burg Columbian, or in Its columns, or any
hero else until ho himself wrote. What
wo said on tho subject was to stato tho fact
that "objection had been raised to bankers
as candidates for Stnto Treasurer, as the
natural bent of their minds would bo to
make uo of any surplus on hand for loan-
ngpurposcs,aii(f especially to banlcuteho have
been dabbling in Ike Stale fund during the
idminislrationt of Kemble ami Mackcy." e
added, "thero is force in these objections
the latter being abiolulely fatal" That is all
wo wrote on the subject.
Now why do these straightforward sen
tences give occasion for personal abuso of
their author 1 ithout answering tho qties
ion let us see what there is in them. The
first division simply states an existing fact,
to wit: that objection had been raised to the
nomination of a banker as a candidate for
State Treasurer. Wo had secu tho objection
in print and it had also been raised In pri-
ate letters to tho editor, brought out by
tho fact that he had spoken highly of Mayor
Powell, of Williamsport, banker, as a can-
dato for tho position. We simply stated
tho fact and admitted that thero was somo
force in the objection, and the whole appli
ed only to a candidate for Stato Treasurer.
As to the second position assumed in the
paragraph from the Columman that is
'going tho rounds of the State press," to wit:
that it is an absolutely fatal objection to the
nomination of any one ns the Democratic
candidate for Stato Treasurer that he has
"been dabbling in tho State funds ilurin
the corrupt administrations of Kcmblc and
Mackcy," wo repeat it now with tho most
decided emphasis possible. In other words
any hanker or other person who has been
dabbling in tho State funds with Kcmblc
and Mackcy, and consequently a participant
n and beneficiary of their plundering oper
ations, is an unfit man to ho placed on the
Democratic'ticket for State Treasurer or any
ther office. Tho office in question is one of
tho very highest importance to the people.
not overshadowed even by that ofli? vernor
of tho State and if reform is to be effected
in the gross abuses of which tho people
complain and by which thcy.nro so largely
swindled, somebody else than ono who has
profited by them must be elected Stato
Treasurer some man who is opposed to any
and every improper cr unauthorised use of
tho public funds. The strength of the Do
mocracy will bo in nominating a candidate
who the whole people will know to be an in
flexibly honest and capable man who is op
posed to nil such practices, and tho Erie con
vontion will fall far short of its duties if it
shall fail to give the Democratic party
such a nominee. We do not fear the result
in that convention, for it will at least not
nominate any body for Treasurer who has
been engaged in or has profited by the frauds
of which all the people complain. Thcso gen
try may cover tho editor of tho Columman
with abuse, but it will neither disturb him
or give them success.
We do not fail to observe that tho few
promiuent men in our ranks who go into
politics for profitjliaveabaudoucd the Guber-
tutorial field to the men of purer patriotism,
tho great body of tho party, and they may as
well take a back scat generally, for thou
they are just now making a desperate rally
for Treasurer, they will fail, utterly and
completely. Tho Democracy require nblo
and competent candidates, against tho pro
pricty of whoso election not a word can be
ustly uttered, and who will bo completely
sure to carry out all tho reforms demanded.
Such the Erio convention must and will give
them.

The constantly recurring failures of the
eastern mail carried by tho llloomsburg and
Lackawanna railroad prove tho utter inefli
ciency and incompetency of tlio wholo blatch
of officials connected therewith, from Post

como to put up with auy short-coming in
that lino with the best possiblo grace, but

Sundry explanations aro suggested, all point
ing to incompetency. 1 ho railroad is ceil
sured for refusing to carry an extra 1'. O,
agent free nnd return from Nothumberland
to Danville: another represents tho mail
agents to be incompetent nnd careless ; nn'
other is that tho II. fc. L. trains will not wait
a moment for tlio transfer ot tho large bulk
of mails nt Northumberland, &c Ac. All
thcso excuses aro trivial and unsatisfactory,
If good so far as they go, then tho nuthori
ties nt Washington aro neglectful and in
competent, as well as the numerous iutcrme
diate agents between them and the carryin;
service.
Postmaster General Jewell seems more in
tent upon making personal displays of him
self than in attending to tho proper duties
oi his position, and henco spends his time
junketing over tho country upon free passes
and exhibiting his bandy-legged corporation
to gaping crowds. Raised to a position hlgl
abovo his previous hopes or ambition, by
President distinguished for tho eccentricity
of his appointments, ho has been struck with
tho Presidential phantom and spcmls hi:
tlmo in splurging for capital. Tho ends to
this foolish ambition ho seems to think aro
tD;bo attained by various tricks peculiar to
tho character of tho yaukco tribes, and I
such occupations ho spends his time, to the
neglect of his duties. Whether ho has th
ability to dischargo tho duties pertaining to
his position is yet to bo demonstrated, witli
tho cvidenco preponderating to a ncgativ
answer.

eph M. Thompson, Indiana, J'a .' I received
four dispatch to-day, and snail comply wiiu
ts request My personal desires shall not
nterfero with my duty to my party and my
State. "Wm. Iliglcr."
It will bo seen that this is In exact accord-
nnco with tho convictions In regard to this
subject that wo havo heretofore printed in
thcso columns. Gov. Iliglcr has no particu
lar desire to be n candidate, but If tho Erio
convention shall deem him tho most proper
man to bo nominated he is too patriotic to
refine. This Is tho exact position nssumcd
by Gen. Washington In regard to tlio first
Presidency, ns well as tho previous command
f tlio nrmy. Many of tho most honorable
and most serviceable statesmen this country
ever produced also held precisely tho same
lews ns to holding office. In 1844, Silas
Wright, of New York, occupied exactly tho
same position that Gov. Iliglcr now docs, ex
cept that ho held the position of U. S. Sen
ator, which ho preferred to nny thing else.
Hut his party nominated him for Governor
and elected him, whereupon he resigned ins
scat in the Senate. Gov. Allen now occupies
a similar position in Ohio. lie did not want
to be a candidate two years ago, but his par-
nominated and elected lain. Ho did not
want to bo a candidato for rc-clo ction, but
his party again placed him in nomination
and no doubt will re-elect him. And we
might run over n hundred similar instances
What wo have particularly to say on the
ubject i, let tho Erie convention nsccrtain
who would be tho strongest fit candidate and
then nominate him.
Tlio submission of Gov. lligler's namo will
very much change tlio aspect of probable
chances, f le will cither bo nominated with
comparative unanimity or not at all, though
tlicro may be some balloting to give future
prominence to certain names. Public senti
tnent will now begin to develop itself, and
will no doubt be mainly divided between
Gov. Iliglcr, of Clearfield, Col. Noycs, of
Clinton, Judge Pershing, ofSehuylkill, Hon
Robert E. Monaghan, of Chester, and Hon.
Wm. A. Galbraith, of Erie. There aro oth
cr gentlemen locally named, as well as somo

of these would bo worthy of all tlio cflbrt

Of Coroners
The office of Coronor is very ancient and
existed by the common law. What his povv-
crs were by tlio common law seems not to
he very well settled; but it is quite sure that
ho exercised somo under it which aro fallen
into disuse. In A. D. 127(5, 4 Edward I.,
the statuto De Ojficis Coronatori) was passed,
somewhat defining and explaining his du
ties, though perhaps not limiting them.
And it has been held that though tlio stat
uto mentioned only inquires of tho death of
persons slain, drowned or suddenly dead,
yet the coronor ought also to inquire of the
death of those who die in prison.
A jury of tho vicinage is expedient though
not imperative, and to be summoned by the
Coroner. Tlio subjects of inquiry for the
coroner's inquest are cases of sudden and vi
olent deaths, whether they take place from
the visitation of God; by misfortune, as if
sudden death ensue in consequence of a fall
or other casualty : or by suicide ; or by the
hand of another, whether by murder, man
slaughter, in self-defenso or by accident:
and also of all those who die in prison. The
inquest must bo taken on the view of the body ;
that is, the bodv must bo before the Coronor
and tho jury. Therefore whcro tho body
cannot be found, or is so far decayed that a
view can be of no service, no inquisition cm
be taken by the Coroner. If tho body be
buried ho ought to take it up nnd view had
thereof: and it is decided in Salk, ."77, that
it is a misdemeanor to bury one who has
died a violent death, before tho Coroner has
sat upon him. After tlio view tho inquest
can adjourn to some convenient placo and
hear evidenco and deliberate.
So much for tho statuto of Edward, which
was not changed as to the above matters by
that of it Henry VII. chapter 1. The statute
of Edward is in force in Pennsylvania, and
tho only question is how far it has been mod
lfied bv our own legislation. Tho view
should ho, it is said must be, where tho deatl:
happened, or the dead body may bo found
That is, the body cannot bo removed from
one jurisdiction or county to another and
the view held in tho latter.
Many special acts have passed limiting nnd
defining tho powers nnd duties ot Coroners
but tho only general one is that ot loth May
1857. P. L. MO, fixing tho number ot jurors
at six in all cases.
Tho legislative mind seems to havo set
tied, by several special acts, upon this res-
triction of powers That no inquest shall be
held "unless the said deceased person shall
havo ditd of violent death" "or whosi
death shall have been Hidden, that is of sick
ness of less than 2 1 hours, with no regular
practising physician; or suspicious circum
stances attending tho same, which circum
stances shall bo sworn by n citizen."
Tho duties of a Coroner require judgment
and discretion, and ho should not subject
persons nnd counties to cost nnd troublo un
necessarily. Except in special cases there-
fore, an inquisition is not required whcro it
happens by an accident, a tall, or other ens
unity, or even by drowning, in view ot cili
zens. And although wo in Columbia conn
ty seem to bo under tho statuto of Edward
and tlio common law, yet wo may look to
acts of our own General Assembly for other
counties, as tho criterion for our own action,
They contemplate "deaths of violence,' whicli
I tako to bo cases where tho wound or hurt
causing dcatli is inflicted by one upon nnoth
cr: and not whcro it happens by tho care
lessness or tho foolhardlness or the misfor
tune of tho victim himself. So suspicious
circumstances in a death upon sickness
long or short In duration, should bo investi
gated by tho Coronor, A dend body found
requires him to summon nn inquest, and that
no matter how tho death appears to havi
been produced.
He has tho right to call in n physician or
surgeon, nnd generally to procure all such
aid In the investigation as beeins necessary to
elicit tlio truth, for all proper expend!
turo tho county is liable, in all cases where-
in tho Coroner is in tho lino of his duties
nnd powers.

So soon ns tho Democratic parly of this

issues between parties iu Pennsylvania will

attracts tho universal nttcntlon of our citi
zens, ns tho State Treasurer nomination Is
nvolvcd directly iu tho nomination for tho
Chief Executive. Tho Radical party, by Its
nctlon nt Lancaster has made this a necessity.
Tho Democracy must accept tlio gaugo of

Tho Radical party put nil Its strength In

Investigation into tho Stato Treasury, and

Governor Ilartrnnft is to-day before the
people for re-election, not on his record as
Governor, but on his association with tho
corrupt ringstcrs of his party, who havo
made all government a sham and n fraud.
Governor llnrtramt is tho canuidnto of a
ring of men who have utterly dNgraccd
themselves by tho resolutions adopted by
their Lancaster Convention, lie is tho can-
ilidatn of men who were loo corrupt to di
nounco tho administration ot tlio present
State Treasurer, and too cowardly to insist
on an investigation into tho charges made
igainst tho administration of this office since
it lias been held by ringstcrs of their own se
lection, for they were never elected by the
honestly counted votes of individual, honoit
otcrs.
Governor Hartrauft stands to-day as the
nominee of men who believe in and approve
all the past corruptions of the Radical party
iu this State, both at the polls, In the Legis
lature, in the rings, in the ollices, nnd liy
officers which this party lias created nnd
counted into office, despite tho votes of the
people.
Governor Ilartrnnft is to-day tho candi
date of tho paity which dared not denounce
the infamies iu Louisiana, the liunditti Sher
idan outrages, tho Arkansas outrage, the
force bill, the schemes of Landau Williams
to engender more civil war in tlio South by
efforts to subjugato the white citizens of tho
Southern States to tho ballots and bullets of
the negro.
Governor Hartranft is tho candidate of
tho advocates, indorscrs, supporters, and aid
crs of Grant in all his attempts to create an
other revolution iu the land, by using the
army to overthrow sovereign States, control
their Legislatures, and instigato tho negro
to "rapine, blood, nnd fire," which these no
groes publicly threatened to resort to, unless
they were elevated abovo the white race by
tlio Federal power.
Governor Hartranft is the candidate, not
of the Republican party of Pennsylvania,
but of the ring of rulers, who ignore every
other consideration but self-interest, jobs,
contracts, official patronage, profit, frauds.
and corruptions which tho Radical l-cderal
iVdministration has cultivated and fostered
for political partisan success, over the peo
ple's will.
Governor Hartranft has no party to sup
port him or claim him as its nominee. Ho
is made to represent the voice of a party
which consists only of men who, under any
name, are their own agents without a con
stituency rings in rings, office-holders, cor
porations, managers, office-seekers, partners
in political schemes, borrowers of party cred
it, and traders in party capital. These men
few in numbers, but great in their power to
manage and manipulate party meetings,
county and State, pretend to bo tho represent
atives of the masses of the party which was
once Whig, then Abolitionist, then Know
Nothing, then Republican, then Negro
equality and Radical, and now plunderers,
They force the honest men of tho Rcpuuli
can party to train in their company. They
forco tho honest Republicans to. be silcn
when these ringstcrs speak for them, not be
cause tho honest Republicans arc satisfied
but because they hopo for better tilings, till
tho very worst will compel them to protest
Governor Ilartrant is the nominee, tho
candidate, tho exponent of thcso men, and
ho must tako tho issue made by tho Lancas
ter Convention in nil its hideous forms, nnd
iu its diabolical spirit; iu nil its revolution
ary intent, and in alt its sacrifices of truth.
It is therefore impossible that nny true,

Pantomime Administration.
The Republican press and politicians havs
flattered themselves that tlio quietude nnd
unimportance of Gov. llartranft's ndminis
tration would leave no hold for adverso crit
icism, nnd that he would go through the
campaign as n maggot goes through a cheese,
n progress ofobscuro nnd patient industry
that invariably meets with its own reward
There is a great amount of worldly wisdom
in theso expectations; but the campaign of
1875 is a most itnfortunato tlmo for their
realization. Tho policy of letting tho craft
of Stato drift, in order that nobody should
bo able to find fault with tho steering, has
resulted badly. When Gov. Hartranft came
into offico the Stato was in tho hands of
plunderers. His election was darkened by
questions of financial dishonor whicli kept
from his side honest Republicans who saw-
no credit in a victory under his banner. No
public man with a proper senso of officiul
responsibility could havo assumed position
as Gov. Hartranft did without clearing up
all the clouds which beset his rising sun
lie followed the extravagant Geary, who
furnished him a pattern on which it was ca
sy to improve. All the inducing reasons
that occur in an honest and laudable anibi
tion for public renown nnd the faithful per
formance of official obligations impelled Gov
Hartranft to the reform of abuses of whicli
no man in tlio State was better informed
Rut he was fraudulently elected by a cabal
and ho has paid it back by supserviency, the
istration in leading strings. Tho result has
been that tho extravagance of Hartranft has
ovcrtoped tho extravagance of Geary. Ev
cry year durirg his administration until
1S7;, when tho new constitution intervened
the expenses of tho government were in
created, and in 1874 they were thirty per
cent higher than when he came into office,
and two hundred per cent higher than under
Democratic administration. This lias not
been done at tho recommendation of Gover
nor Haitsanft. Hois not a recommending
man. Rut it has been done with his privity.
with his acquicscnce, with the consent of his
written signature, aim to ins personal advan
tage and emolument, Tho only tlmo in his
official career in which ho has departed from
his policy of non-interference was when h
attempted in 1873 to stay tho hand of tli
people in arresting tho march of expendi
ture by tlio restrictions of the new Constitu
tion, Tho renewal of his candidacy necessi
tates tho tearing away of the mask which
separates tlio actual manbohlnd it from tlio
gaze of the people. With tho mask down
Gov. Hartranft appears to bo what ho is
tho "patient log-mau" for tho ring bon-firc
From tho day ho accepted offico ho hns
served tho men that made him Governor,
If ho is re-elected it is their victory. They
will renew their attacks upon tho treasury
and ho will renew his undemonstrative char
actcr ns n pantomimo Governor whoso whol
stock in trailo is that lie has been cmineutl
successful in doing nothing himself whilo
tho rats of tho ring havo gorged themselves

How tlio Money (loos.
During tho last two years various efforts
were made to supercedo Gcueral Mciggs as
Quartermaster General with Rufu3 Iugalls,
ono of his assistants. Tins change was
prompted by tho President's personal wis:
and for reasons which aro now pretty well
understood by tho public. Meiggs was disin
clined to give up a place which ho liked, and
in which he had acquired a certain distiuc
lion. Ho could not be retired involuntarily
for the ago had not como for that sort of ex-
ilo of service.
They tempted him with tho bait of tlio
Russian mission, but howas too old a fish to
bito with tlio barb of a hook llashiug before
his eye, Thoy tried him in other ways, but
ho was not disposed to givo up a good thing
for an uncertainty, and his record was too
good to bo disposed of harshly, as somo oth
ers have been, with us llttlo cause to justify
their exclusion.
Meantime Grant was becoming impatient
He wanted Ingalls near lilm, and wished to
resume their familiar relations, when neither
thought tho possibilities of human nfl'airs
could tako tho strango turn they havo done.
Something must bo dono, nud n way out of
tho dilemma found.
In this strait it was determined to send
General Meiggs to Europo for eighteen
mouths, with full pay, nnd a secretary and
servants, for tho pretended "purposo of in
specting nnd reporting upon tho orgnnlzittion
of foreign nrinics." Tills devlco deceives
nobody. Tho organization of foreign armies
is no secret even to tho unprofessional ; and
it Is only a yearslnco General Sherman went
over this ground and put on record all that
tho books do not tell satisfactorily.
-Tho plain truth Is tho public money is
squandered iu this mission for no other rea
son than to get rid of Meiggs, nnd to glvo tho
placo to a favorlto ol tho President. Tho
War Department professes to estimate for
tho actual requirements of tho army, nnd
yet hero is a caso in which many thousands
of dollars must bo expended for which no
estimate was over suggested, nud which was
not contemplated as a contingency wlicu
Congress voted tho money, It la found ev

The right of a State to nutliorho tho con
struction of dams Iu navigable rivers Im
ver been doubted. In a recent eae, thotij h
tlio exact point was not Involved, the Su
prcmo court of the United States gavo a de
cision which doubtless covers the principle
nnd ought to rid tlio Susquehanna of all tho
obstructions that havo been erected in it.
The Harrisburg Patriot thus sums up tho
caso :
"The Supremo court of the United States
has decided In a caso arising iu Wisconsin,
involving the question of tho navigability or
the l-ox river, thai those rivers mui bo re
garded as public navlcablo rivers in law
which nre navigable in i.ict, and tney aro

water of tho United States when It forms
by Itself, or by its connection with other
waters, a continued highway over whicli
commcrco is, or may be, carried on with
other States or foreign countries in thecusto
inary modes in which such commerce s con
ducted by water. The Fox river is entirely
within the State of Wisconsin, but under
this decision it constituted a public water of

pendently of the ordinanco of 1787, declar
ing tho 'navigablo waters' leading into the
Mississipi and St Lawrence to be common
hichrrays, the true test of the navieahilltv
of a stream docs not depend on the mode by
wuicn coniEierco is or may ns conducted nor
the difficulties attendinir navigation. If this
were so tho public would ho deprived of the
uso oi many or trie urge rivers or the coun
try, over which rafis or lumber or great
value are constantly taken to market. It
would be a narrow rule to hold that in this
country, unless a river was capablo of being
navigated by steam or sail vessels, it could
not be treated as a public highway. The
capability of use by the public for purposes
of transportation and commerce affords the
truo criterion ot the navigability ot a river,
rather than tho extent and manner of that
use. If it bo callable in its natural stato of
being used for purposes of commerce, no
matter in what manner the commerce may be
conducted, it is navigable in lact nud be
comes iu law a public river and highway
Vessels of any kind that can float upon the
water, whether propeueu by nnimal power,
by the wind or by tlio agency of steam, nre,
or may become, the mode by whicli a vast
commerce may bo conducted, nud it would
bo a mischievous rule that would exclude
either in determining the navigability of a
a river. '
If the SusMiichanna is a part of tho navi
gable waters oi the United states it will bo
in order for our representatives in Congress
to insist upon a pro rata share of the money
expended yearly in tho improvement of river
navigation. It has always been contended
by well informed and capable engineers that
the money expended upon the main line of
canal in this state would nave more than
paid for a perfect system of slackwater nav
ation in the cusmichanna, and tho day may
yet come when Harrisburg. Williamsport
and Wilkes-liarro may be regular ports ot

Governor Hartranft is the candidate, notof the
