is no locality in America that ro much need
ed thorough cleansing from coriiiption,but It
will tako something stronger than water to
do it.
Wo regret to nee that 11. Krysinger, Ksq.,
ono of tho truest mid ablest editors in the
State, has sold the Lcwislown True Democrat
and retired from editorial life after a service
of twenty-ono year, llo is an honest man
aud was an editor of sterling senso and cour

may provo his equal.
Tho WayncsburgJfisoiiffrG rceno county)

tho paper for forty-tlireo years.
And now tlio Rnilical Stato Treasurer of
New Jersey comes to tho front witlt a de

ollice last winter by the contumacious Radi
cal Senato refusino-lo meet tho Democratic
IIouso in joint convention , to elect a Treas

claim that this releases them from liability.
So goes Radicalism I
It is gratifying news that tho rotton crop
of tho South this year is very largo and that
thcro is plenty of money down there for tho
trade. Tho "hick of confidence," says tho
New Orleans Times, "has kept money locked
in tho banks of tho South all summer, and
now that safo investments demand it, there
will be an abundaneo in market, and at a
proper price for both buyers and hellers."
A slight irregularity in tho marine corps
at Washington has turned up which, it is
estimatedrwill result in showing that Undo
Sam has been swindled to about the tunc of
20,000. This is a small amount standing
alone, especially in that city of big jobs
and heavy swindling, but there are so many
of theso littlo swindles turning up that,
when put together, the sum of tho robberies
is cnormus.
The Prohibition candidato for Oovcrnor,
Tlrowno, is slumping tho State, and is every
wlicro greeted by larjjo audiences. Ho has
spoken orwill speak in Lawrence, Allegheny,
Bradford, Chester, Delaware, Lancastcr.&c,
and wherever lie has been heard measures
have been taken to put Temperance tickets,
in tho field. Ho will visit every itnportait
locality and probably every county in the
State. He is said to be a man of largo abil
ity and an interesting speaker.
The allegory of '"Angel Sleep and Angol
Death" will bo concluded in ono or two
more issues. Tho fair authoress does justice
to this dillicult stylo of writing, and her imaginative-narrative
is of particular interest
to religiously inclined pcofle, yet wo bnt
seldom continue anythingovcrsolong. Con
ciseness nnd brevity have become somtich tho
fashion now-a-days that it is only in exceed
ing raro cases that wo can agrco to continue
an articlo beyond ono issue. In tho next and
following issues wo will endeavor to conclude
this one.
The wholo board of county Commissioners
in Schuylkill county were recently convicted
of gross frauds in office. Tho proof was clear.
In ono case, in building an almshouse, bam,
they had embezzled about $0,000. Resides
this, other frauds and ncgligcnco in office
wcro proved. Uut tho coolest pieco of scoun
drelism was in two of tho commissioners
walking into thoir ofl'ico and directing orders
to bo drawn in favor of thoatlornleswliohad
defended thcni, amounting to SHOO, No in
stitution except tlio penitentiary can curb
Biieh genius.
Among tho other discarded aristocratic
customs of Europe that tho snobs at Wash
ington havo adopted, as wo judgo by tho in
sipid "anecdotes" of officials that are publish- i
ed, is that of employing court fools. Treas
urer New is tho hero of most of them now,
but Postmaster Halo figured in tho character
lately, as did Secretary Delano formerly.
Sharp sayings as flat as tho butt end of a
pumpkin, aro sounded nnd heralded as
gushingly as tiioui they wero pure scintil
lations of wisdum.
In many counties of tho Stato tho town
ship Auditors aro being prosecuted and fined
for not publishing the annual settlements, as
required by law. This is proper, for tho
people have it right to know how their taxes
are expended, and a refusal or neglect to
publish, as required bylaw, raises ajust sus
picion that somo of tho funds havo been
misappropriated. All laws ought to bo com
plied with, and when ollico holders refuse
to comply with them it is always a sign of
corruption and tho penalty for refusal ought
to bo enforced.
Tho next issue of tho Coujmwan will
announce tho Democratic nominees for Oov
crnor and Slalo Treasurer, tho convention
meeting at Erio on tho 8th of September.
Then tho struggle of tho fall camjialgn will
comincuco in earnest; it will bo tlio most
important ono that has occured in many years;
tho truo and real issue being whether tho
Flato and Federal governments shall bo ad
ministered oxtraviintly or economically
whether public plunder and oppression of
tho people shall prevail, or Government be
brought down to the necessities of tho peojdo
ami honestly and cheaply administered,
Tho local option nun aro ilettmilnul to door

by tho Jlartriinftttw and Rawlcltc that they

THE
Heavy failure -llnnl Times -Homed)'.
Hard times Is not an apparition. As pre
dicted when the day Cooko failure occurred,
that win but the beginning of an end, how
ever slow the approach might be. I'rom
that llmo to the present, hard times have to n
greater or less extent afl'ectcd every body and
tho bottom Is oven now so far from being reach
ed that tho surface Is yet scarcely penetrated.
Had and cxtrarivjant government it at the bot
tom of the whole of it, mid until there i n
chanyc in thai time will he no relief. High
salaries must be cut down, nil maimer of gov
ernment thieves must bo clinked oil', tho tcr-
riblo consuming indirect taxes must bo de
stroyed, before thero can bo relief, nnd theso
reforms cannot bo accomplished until thcro
Is an entlro and complete- change in govern
ment, Stato and Federal.
Recently Duncan, Sherman fc Co., of Now
York, failed for millions, and will ccttlo with
their creditors for a few cents on tho dollar.
Moro recently the bank of California failed
for fourteen millions, with assets slated at
seven millions. Plain inexorable facts will
increase tho liabilities to perhaps twenty
millions nnd reduce the assets to a few thous
ands. Many other California banks, of less,
er note, stock companies and manufactories,
have followed, in all the cases noted, (ho
head of each firm had built n private resl
denco costing a million or moro, furnished
at an expenso of half a million, and was
maintained at a similar annual sum an ex
travagance thai seemed necessary to main
tain tlio kind of credit upon which the busi
ness of tho firms was founded. These mag
nificent gentlemen despised the simple unos
tenlation of (llrard and Astor and ascribed
it to penuriousness 1 Hut common souse is
always frugal, and common senso alone can
maintain and retain colloss.il wealth.
Tho breaking of these millionaire firms
of itself deserves no sympathy, but it is like
toppling over a huge pile of bricks huge
walls of bricks, with thousands, myriads of
people, great and small, of all ages, sexes and
conditions standing under them 1 Itisnot tho
owners of tlio walls that sutler most nlateria'.ly
tho poor creatures under them aro tho true
subjects of pity, the humble and tho helpless,
they who lose all their means and all their
prospects, their bread.
Look at your local newspapors I Every
whero litorally filled with Sherilfs sales !
From ono column to twenty I Thcro is real
distress I And in nine cases out of ten this is
to bo traced to the Infernal indirect taxation
and extravagance of government, inducing
all otlfer extravagance, perhaps necessitating
It. And yet men will blindly goto tlio polls
and vote to keep tho very men in power who
produco this state of ali.iirs.
Hero, in Columbia county, with a pcoplo
distinguished for frugality, industry, common
senso, carefulness and hunesty, theso times
aro not felt as xvc seo them around us ; yet
oven here, where Sheriff's sales usually occu
pied a very few inches of space in tho local
newspapers they now rise to tho dignity of a
column or morel In ordinary times such
sales mean nothing moro than that some bo
dy has been imprudent or exceptionably un
fortunate Now it mean simply a game of
confiscation I A game of your blood, in which
heartless creditor and shrewd attorney arc
sure to bo the winners.
Hut, the public importance the whole dis
tressing matter assumes is to ascertain the
cause and what the remedy. Fortunately
both aro palpable. Look at your President,
with his salary doublcd-FIFl'Y THOUS
AND A YEAH I Your Governor, bis sala
ry doubled TEN THOUSAND A YEAIt!
Your Congressmen, moro than doubled, from
two to three thousand a year to seven thous
and I Your Cabinet officers, and Judges,
from two to fivo and ten thousand, and their
numbers increased under specious names as
twenty to ono! Your legislators, from about
three hundred to ono and two thousand each,
and contingencies so aptly denominated
stealings I Look at tlio numbers of your office-holders
where used to bo ono aro hordes
now! In any necessary legal business you
aro required to do look at tho enormity of
fees you pay I Your tariffs steal perhaps
moro than all, your Congresses squander
your money and give away your public lands
by millions of acres, and your Legislatures
tax your farms, your products, all that you
sell or buy ; tho Federal government doubles
upon tho Legislature, both tax your fuel,
light, tlio very grounds and coffins in which
you aro buried in fact every thing tangible,
and would tax your very soul if thev could
reach it or provo that you aro possessed of
ono that could bo sold at tax collector's or
sherifl's sales, and plunders you besides with
its multifarious corporations and chartered
monopolies!
Put, "you pays your money and you takes
your choice." You (somo of you) go to tho
elections annually and voto to sustain these
oppressions and outrages. If men did that
with their eyes open they would descrvo no
better fate. Hut why will they not open
their eyes to the facts that surround them ?
A Plethoric Campaigner.
The R(iuhlicui papers are just now laud
ingtheearuestspeech in behalf of Hartranft
mado at Hellefonto last week by Win. It.
Mann. We havo lengthy paragraphs upon
paragraphs piling up all tlie'pct adjectivesof
praise tho books afford in behalf of tho
"earnest ness" and "eloquence" of the speech,
lint it U an old belief that n lawyer works
very much in proportion to the pay ho lias
in expectancy. Hartranft, while Auditor
General, gave Ibis same Win. 11. Mann $30,-
000 of tlio pcoplo s money for a few days
work said to have been performed in exam
ining tho books of foreign insurance com
panies. Whether any work was ever performed
thero is no evidence, but that over fiiO.OOO of
tho peoplo's money was certified by Auditor
General Hartranft to be duo to Win. 11. Mann
"for cxnminingthobooksof foreign insuranco
companies" In 1807 and 1SC8, is proved by
tho official statements of the Stato Treasurer.
Maun may have done some work, but 10,000
would bo enough to pay him fur several years
occupation, yet this work (whatever it was)
was all donoiii 18GS, and without interfering
with Mr. Mann's otheroeciipations! Well may
ho mako "earnest" and "eloquent" "appeals"
in favor of a candidato who confers an ordin
ary fortune of tlio people's money upon him I
Will Mr. Win. 11. Mann point out In the
next speech ho makes how ho earned this
.'10,000 insobrlef ft time? Under what law
ho was employed? Whallaborhcperforiuedl
Who fixed his compensation ?
Our Granger friend should get out their
cyphering books and demonstrate how many
days of fair wages taO.OOO will pay. After
that they can appreciate how Jliutrnaltiook
caro of tho taxes they paid?
Tho last mad dog story is from a Pittsburg
paper and as an example of tho wonderful,
beats all others ever manufactured, A child
three years of ago was bitten but reached
maturity, several years after which ho mar
ried, then became tho father of u consider
able family, but annually in August got mad
(not singular except ns to regularity of time,)
but on eacli occasion recovered, The last
August ho felt tho fit coming on, started up
stulrs.und seeing liU wtlo coming iiown,
warned her, got mad, barked like a dog and
then bit her. Hoth wife and hunband re
covered. It U highly probuble, and much
less wonderful, that some other poison than
virus of a wad dog affected him.
COLUMBIAN AND
Tlio wife of Auditor General Temple died
In Grceno county, while visiting nt tho rest
deuco or her sister, on tho 20th of August,
after a severe Illness, nged about 10 years.
Her husband, three, daughters nnd ono son
survive her. Thus Gen. Temple- Is called
upon to bear the mint terrible afllictlon that
can befall a devoted husband or bo received
by a grief stricken f'unlly. Tlio harassing
perplexities of an important public position,
however sternly challenging his ability and
patriotism, fall Into utter Insignificance when
confronted by tho requirement of cold-handed
Incxorablo death loseparato himself from
tho earthly Intercourse nnd companionship
of tho purest and most earnest nH'cctlons of
his soul, tho most sacred and deeply cherish
ed part and parcel of every Impulse that

Williamspoit is a dull placo for any kind
of business except lumbering and marketing
and (ho fact appears as boldly from the ad
vcrthing columns of its newspapers ns
though it wero directly stated. Hcnco if
any body wants any thing bo thinks ho may
get thcro it is necessary to writo for infor
mation, to an editor or somebody else, who
may or not go to the trouble of ascertaining
nnd nnswering. Tho Gazette it Jlnllctin
publishes a letter of this sort as a sample.
We refer to this subject merely to impress
upon business men every wlicro that adver
tising not only pays thcni directly, but is of
immense ndvnntago in presenting tho busi
ness facilities of any town to the public and
thus drawing profit to it. Hiisincss men and
manufacturers every where, nnd energetic
men in quest of business places, universally
judgo of tho desirability and capacity of any
town for business purposes, by tho adver
tising contained in its local papers. Thus,
taking towns in the same locality, Lock
Haven, with half tho population, and much
less than that proportion of tho lumber trade
is a better placo for any kind of business
than Williainsport,and this fact is illustrated
in the advertising columns of tho local pa
pers. So it is every where. Therefore when
tho businessmen of a town fail to advertise
extensively, they diminish tho importance
and trade of tlio place, and permit tlio more
enterprising localities to take tho latter from
them. Although dono fortlioiriiidiviilu.il
interests, advertisers should bo looked upon
by citizens of the towns whero they reside
as in some senso public benofactors, and
should bo encouraged accordingly. One
merchant whoadvertiscs extensively is worth
moro to his town and its pcoplo than forty
who never show themselves in print, and
should bo for this reason alono preferred,
assuming that he is of course a fair business
man.
Immense business failures.
Resides tho great failure of tho bank of
California and other banks and business
firms in Hint State, thero aro also heavy fail
ures in New York, Hoston, Raltimore, Jlon
treal and throughout tho whole country. It
is folly to disguiso tlio fact thai a most por
tcnlious business crash is impending over
tho country and it is equally folly to pretend
that this stato of affairs is not directly pro
duced by the extravagant and reckless legis
lation of tho last fifteen years. During all
that time, and especially for fivo or six
years, it was palpablo to every good rcasoner
and thinker that tho crash would come at
somo time, but as temporary circumstances
would in somo measure control tho exact
moment of its commencement and rapid
progress, just when it would occur could not
so clearly bo foreseen. Temporary ex
pedients may yet delay its entire fulfilment,
but it will come in all its terrible force. Tho
caiiso has long operated and tho trouble can
not bo adjusted in a day.or the natural conso-
quenco of immense bad action bo altogether
avoided. It commenced with tho failure of
Jay Cooko & Co., tho downward progress
has been slow but sure, a new impetus is
now givcu the financial difficulties, and tho
worst begins to como clearly in view. All
classes must suffer, but thoso engaged in or
dependent upon commercial pursuits must
bear tho burden of tho loss aud destruction
that must ensue.
lb-nutics of Postmaster Generalship.
Somebody has described Postmaster Gen
eral Jewell as a small specimen of a "skim
milk yankco" probubly of tho while- oak
cheese pattern. Since in office ho has been
mousing around certain schemes of "fast
mall lines," of course embracing heavy con
tracts, and that, besides exhibiting "tho
Postmaster General" nt various points where
such a tiling is a curiosity, is about tho only
official duty his wooden nutmeg excellency
can see. A respectable lager beer wagon
would deliver tlio malls moro promptly to
tho North Hranch region than tho Lacka
wana and H'.oomsbiirg railroad does it, yet
tlio latter is paid at tho largest rates and
never a finoisiniposed nor reprimand offered.
In fact tlio P. M. O. is incompetent, and
consequently worthless, liko Radical office
holders generally, and tho pcoplo about hero
may wait on and wait long before any thing
is dono to relievo them, unless tho Radical
officers aro disposed of.
Tho Republican papers havo for somo time
been crowing lustily over a statement that at
tlio recent Democratic county convention In
York Judgo Rlack had been beaten, "repu
diated," or something llko that, Tho York
7Vcm indignantly denies tho statement, as
serts that thcro'was no issue involving Judgo
Illack or in which ho felt an interest, that at
tho tlino of tho convention and for weeks
previous ho had been absent from tho county
attending to important public business in ad
justing tlio Stato lino between Maryland nnd
Virginia, and Hint ho had never taken nny
part in a York county convention, Tho
truth Is Judge Illack enjoys tho high respect
ot every honest man in York county, Penn
sylvania or tho United Slates, who knows his
character or is ordinarily intelligent. He is
siiiL'lcil out for abuse bv tho Republican press
solely upon tho principle that slander loves
a shining mark. All shades ot rogues nnve
a lienltbv fenr of him but moro especially
those engaged in plundering tho public, and
they probably instigate tho slanders.
DEMOCRAT, BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA,
An liiiiarlnnl Decision.
Judge Pearson, of tho North Carolina Su
premo Court, rendered an opinion which Is
intcrcstlnc under certain clrcumstniices. In
this case tho parties had mado a contract of
iiinrrinco anil on tlio day previous to tlio
marriage, tlio woman executed a deed of
gut oi ncr real cstato to tno vniuo oi fn.ouu
to her step-mother, without Iho knowlcdgi
of tho man. After tho marrlagotho husband
sues for the recovery of tho land back to tho
wife, upon tho ground of fraud. Tho Court
held Hint tho deed was fraudulent, Intended
to deceive tlio man, nnd Iho step-mother Is
ordered to convey back tho land to tho wife.
Kichangr.
Therefore; it Is very unsafe to buy ie.il
estate from a "singlo woman," for If sho
happens to marry afterwards (and sho will
If shu lias a chance) "Judgo Pearson" will
dccldo thnt tlio salo was fraudulent, tho
cstato will go back to licr and sho will do
as sho pleases about refunding tho money,
and sho will plcaso to keep it. Just what
real cstato or tho sale thereof has to do with
marriage, or in what maimer it infcrcutlnlty
enters into such contracts, tlio sapient
"Judgo Pearson" docs not explain. Whether
the law as expounded by this "second Dan-'
iel coino to judgment" applies equally to
"singlo men" who sell real estate bcfoie
marriage, tho public is left in blissful igno
r.mco by this learned Judge, Whilo look
ing to real cstato In tlio matter of marriago
is no new thing, courts havo not been in the
habit of holding that it was to bo inferred
that it constituted a part of tho marriage
contract, or that it was in any wio to bo
legally inferred that it was a consideration
thereto. In fact, "old fogies" generally
hold that when a man marries n wife lie
takes her "for better or worse," as tho caso
may be, without tho least regard to the real
cstato sho may have recently sold.
If greenback was at par with gold, says an
exchange, wo would havo specio payments
and tho only way to havo specio payments
without injury to the industries of tho coun
try is to bring them to par with each other.
Tlio policy of tlio Radical leaders is" now
and has been for years to depreciate green
backs as much as posslblo to enable tho bond
holders, tho gold gamblers and stock jobbers
to get rich at tlio expenso of the masses, and
tho so-called resumption act is intended to
intensify tho difference between gold and
legal tender currency. Tho Democratic po
sition is not to inflato the quantity of the
currency as falsely asserted, but to inflate
its value and by giving full faith and credit
to legal tenders to bring them up to the stan
dard of par with gold, and thus reach a sound
specio basis. On tiio other hand tlio Radi
cal policy is todeprcciato tlio greenback cur
rency nnd keep up tho prico of gold, thus
giving tho pcoplo a fluctuating currency,
and continuing tlio present commercial pros
tration indefinitely. It is not a difficult
matter to chooso between tho two policies.
Clinton County.
Tho Democrats of Clinton county have
unanimously nominated S. R. Pcalo, Esq,,
for Stato Senator, and also appointed him
dclcgato to Eric, with instructions to support
Col. Noyes for Governor. Mr. Pealo is n
lawyer of ability and in that respect and in
personal character will rank above the
average Senator. Ho will bo n credit to tlio
district if bis nomination bo concurred in.
His competitor in tlio county.A. J. Quiglcy,
Esq,, is also a gentleman of ability aud
character and wan recommended for Sena
torial delegafoto Erie. Thero is sonic pretty
sharp practice in that combination of action,
a general exchange of amiabilities with
other politicians of tlio district no doubt be
ing involved. They can mako n larger raft
out of a square foot of timber up there than
nny other locality wo know ot.
AJdccision of a California court affirms
that a woman whose husband is a convict in
a penitentiary is in law a widow, Tlio hus
band being without civil rights ho is held to
bo (lead, in law. Wo belicvo this is in ac
cordance with other decisions whenever tlio
question lias been raised at least .generally.
Under tho California decision a widow thus
created, whose hunband is in the New York
penitentiary for shooting her paramour, will
inherit a largo estate from her deceased
father, which it is supposed sho will Use to
get her husband out of prison by somo hook
or crook of law. In view of tho decision it
will bo well for husbands to keep out of
penitentiaries if they do not want their
wives to bo regarded and treated by tho law
as widows.
A Head Conspiracy.
A New York Jferald reporter interviewed
Hon. Fernando Wood at Saratoga, not long
since, when tho following languago was used :
"You believe, then, Mr. Wood, that Iho
Republican tarty is doomed to retire from
power at the closo of President Grant's term
of office 1" was tho question suggested by tho
last remarks.
Fernando Wood. "I believe Republican
ism is dead and gimo with tho temporary
causes which called it into existence. I do
not regard it as ever having been entitled to
tho name of a parly. Tho Democratic party
is a portion of tho history, I may say of tlio
institutions of tho nation. Its mission has
been and will continuo to bo tho preservation
of a government of tho people. It has exist
ed in times of prosperity and in times ol mis
fortune, in sunshine and in storm, through
good report and evil report, and lias survived
to seo its ephemeral opponents, ono by ono
pass out of existence and almost out of mem
ory. Ill Iho rebellion wo wero all rebels, it
was said. Yet wo will still livo to guard tho
constitution, to shield tho life of tlio lepub
lie, to crush out treason and corruption,
which, if left unchecked, must sap tho foun
dations of frco government. Republicanism,
I repeat, never attained tho dignity of a par
ty. It was a conspiracy tlio conspiracy of
a few men who found followers in fanatics
blind enough to beliovo in their sincerity
a. id in guerillas who looked to success as tho
gateway to lieenso nod plunder. Tho war
g.ivo it tho opportunity to rob at its will, to
enrich its followers and to outrago liberty, it
suddenly found its power unlimited and al
most unquestioned and its patrouago increas
ed to proportions never dreamed of in our
former history. Whilo llieso things lasted,
the conspiracy lived and flourished nnd tlio
mob thai followed it ran riot in tho States.
When tfio elements that produced it disap
peared, Republicanism evaporated, It found
nothing to feed on. It had no war, no plun
der, no moro offices to fill, no moro contracts
to bestow, and it died. It can no longer
raise even tlio bugbear of tho Kit Klux to
frighten tho timid nnd drive back tho advan
cing forco of a constitutional party. To talk
about Grant saving Republicanism, or Hlaino
or Conkling saving It is nil nonsense, for
there is no Republicanism to save,

lation to tlio fact that StaloTrcasurcrMackey
recently paid out 1,000.11 for walnut doors

than havo tho people or China. Let ns test
tlio truth of this assertion. Tho men in power
hnvo given to railroads nnd other corpora
tions an amount of public lands equal to
fivo times tho area of tho Stato of Ohio.
What Republican now in sound of my
voico or in tho good county of Tuscara was,
aye, or In tho Stale of Ohio, was in favor of
taking theso lands from tho pcoplo to whom
they belonged nnd of giving thcni to tho
railroad companies? Not one. And yet
tills high-handed act was dono whilo two
thirds of each liouso of Congress was com
posed of Republicans. What Republican in
tho sound of my voice, unless ho bo a bank
er or bondholder, was in favor of incrensimr
tlio taxes upon all tho property of tho peo
ple and then exempting tho bondholders'
wealth from taxation ? No voico answers ;
but 1 do not believe thai such u man can bo
found In Ohio. Yet it was dono and much
more. Tho bondholder was not only ex
empted from taxation, but Ills proportion of
taxes wcro nnd nro added to tho taxes paid
by tho property, and this was dono by a
Congress with moro than two thirds of Re
publicans.
What Republican within tlio sound of
my voico was in favor of paying tho bond
holder gold interest on his bonds, whilo tlio
merchant, tho manufacturer, tho farmer, and
laborer, are, by Iaw,requircd to rcccivo their
interest in paper money, while tho bond
holder receives gold? In what school district
in what township, in what county could such
a proposition rcccivo a Republican vote, un
less that Republican bo a bankor or bond
holder? Thero is not one. What Republi
can within tho sound of my voico was in
favor of giving tlio Pacific Steamship Co
$1,000,000 a year for carrying $20,000 wortli
of mail? Not one; and yet Republicans are
asked to keep theso men in power.
Citizens I have done. This election is to
decide whether this country of ours belongs
to tlio bankers and bondholders, or to tho
people. It is to decido whether prosperity
is to bo restored to the land, or whether wo
nro to continuo in tho downward courso to
bankruptcy and pauperism. These questions
aro with you as a people; for only by tho
pcoplo nnd though the action of the pcoplo
can relief bo obtained.
Stato Affairs.
Hy tho reports of ilio Stato officials, from
1SG0 to 1808, it appears that the Stato debt.
inlSOO, was $37,909,84",r)0; and that tho
amount specially set apart by law, mado in
accordance with a constitutional requirement
for the sinking fund from 1800 to 1808,
amounted to $20,!! 17,751. Tho commission
crs of tho sinking fund report, that only
218,208 wcro applied to the payment of the
State debt during tho period from 1800 to
1808, leaving tho Stato debt nt $33,701,0 11,-
17, and tho sum of $21,120,013 to bo ac
counted for. Had the amount set apart for
the extinguishment of tlio Stato debt been
duly applied, as required by law, tho debt
would havo stood as follows :
Debt in ISfiO $37,0(9,S 17,00
Amount set apart for sinking
fund from 1800 to 1808 25,347,701,00
Total State debt, in 1808 $12,022,000,00
Whatbecaino of tho $21,120,043,99 is a
conundrum that the Stato officials have
never vet been able to answer. Tho tax
payers of Penusylvnnsa would liko to know
something about tho matter, and since it
seems to havo escaped tho observation of tlio
Houso investigating committee, appointed
last session, to investigate tlio affairs of tlio
Stato Treasury, it is now specially com
mended to their attention, Tlicy will find
the fads mentioned set forth, in full, in tho
reports of tho Stato Treasurer and Auditor-
General, and tho report of nil investigating
committee, appointed about tho time tho
deficiency was discovered, to inquire into
tho matter. That committeo reported that
such a deficit existed, but what beenmo of
the money was left in a stato of profound
mystery. Twenty-ono millions of dollars is
a large sum, nnd could not get out of tho
treasury without somebody knowing some
thing about how it got out, and where it
went to. Thcro aro laws on tho statute
book of this Stato which make it a peni
tcntiary offenco for a Stato Treasurer to do
certain nets which, it is charged, have been
done, nnd a very serious responsibility rest1
upon tho oommitteo now having this mutter
in charge. Greenback Herald,
'iho Illack Hills'.
Tho Philadelphia 7i'm, in alluding to
this new Eldorado, says : Professor Jciincy
is eminently cautious, as becomes a man of
science. His description of his gold discover
ies in tlio Hlack Hills, whilo it is sufficient to
savo tlio reputation of General Custer, will
hardly satisfy tlio anticipations of tlio great
crowd of adventurers who havo been rapidly
hastening to tills promised land. He did
find gold there, "in paying quantities," but
this is what ho says it will bo found to pay
"A fair remuneration for laborceonomicnlly
nnd skillfully applied, assisted by proper
tools and nicchaiiic.il appliances, and nt least
a moderato amount of capital," Wo should
not adviso pcoplo with neither skill nor cap
ital to rush out into tho wilderness for that.
Hut Professor Jeiiuey well says, though with
Homo poetic obscurity, that Custer was right
when ho reported of that region that thero
was gold in tho very roots of tho grass,"
only "it is not tho gold of gravel bars or
quartz ledges, not the gold of tho miner or
geologists, but tho future hoIIiI worth or tlio
Hlack Hills that is to bo sought in tlio lux
uriant growtii of tho lino grasses that every
where spread over tho beautiful country."
To put tlio whole matter in a few words,
when civilization, in its natural westward
progress, shall reach tho Hlack Hills, it will
mako of lliein a rich mid prosperous country.
Hut those who prematurely hasten its settle
ment may perhaps loso tlio labor of a life
time, and do littlo moro than open apatli for
thoso who shall como after.
Governor llarirauft has earned tho grati
tude of nil who are interested in maintaining
tho feo system abuse. Hy vetoing tho bill
abolishing tlio feo system, nnd thus violating
his obligations to tho.Constitution, ho has put
hundreds of thousands of dollars in tho
pockets of tho office-holders whilo continu
ing tho burdens of tho pcoplo to that oxtont,
Ho therefore counts on tlio actlvo support of
tlio office-holders who can spend in his in

people by means of this corrupt feo system.
Had ho signed tho bill and thus cut off tho
supplies of tho office-holding class ho would
havo provoked their deadly hostility. Ho
did not daro to ofi'cnd them. Ho preferred
to insult tho pcoplo nnd trample on their

Our well-paid rulers aro Inking tho world
easy ami making light of the general distress.
The President, with every member of tho
Cabinet, ami many of tho licaih of bureaus
nml chiefs of divisions, to siy nothing of n
multitude of subordinates, was absent from
Washington al tho last accounts. Homo of
these officials havo not been on duly for over
two months, though they havo punctually
drawn their full salaries for every hour of
this prolonged ubsceiice.
They nrn scattered in nil directions In nnd
out of tho country. Soiim nro regularly
established at thoscaslde, llku Grant at Long
Hranch jolliers In Fiirope,othersliiI(!alirornln,
olhcrs In New England, and others sllll in
Canada. All of them nro bent on pleasuro
and amusement, without tho leat concern
for tli pi r obligations to tlio public.
Until Grant becamo President, no such
loosn nnd indefensible practice- as this was
over known, or would havo been tolerated,
llo set the example, and therefore could not
rebuke those who followed it. To this caiiso
may bo ascribed much of tho corruption nnd
stealing which hnvo mado tlio present Ad
ministration exceptionally odious.
Every facility has been offered to vcnnl
nnd weak employees In tho departments to
abuse tlseir triuts, and to fill their pockets
dishonestly. They have not failed lo im
prove l!ic-o opportunities, ns Iho frequent
thefts, collusion with Rings, nnd scandalous
jobbery, which nro notorious, nttcst. Tho
want of supervision nod of strict accounta
bility has opened the door to fraud, and it
will not bo closed until every vestigo of
Gr.vntisn is expelled from the publicscrvice,

The editor ol the. Clarion Democrat, 11cm.
R. H. Drown, nTtcr copying tho statement
from tlio treasury books showing Hint Wil
liam H. Mann was paid $..n,007.0S, in 1807
and 180S, for examining the accounts of for
eign insuranco agencies in this Stale, adds
tho following significant addendum :
"During tlio session of tho Legislature of
1809, tho writer of this article, then a mem
ber of too House, offered a resolution request
ing the Auditor General to send in a state
ment showing what services William H
M nun rendered for this $30,000, and give
his itemized bill. Tho Radical majority
promptly voted down this resolution. It was
well understood at tho time that it was'a
barefaced steal, as any lawyer could have ex
amincd all tho books of foreign insurance
agents for $000, or less money. Hut becauso
Maun was a high cockolorum in tlio party,
and contributed liberally to tho election cor
ruption fund, ho was shielded from exposure
It is well to remeinbor that at tho recent Re
publican Slalocoiivcntion, William D. Mann
nominated Gov. Hartranft, nnd made a
glowing speech in his favor. "Hirds of a
feather," etc.
It is also well to remember that Governor
Hartranft as tho auditing officcrof the Stato
had to audit nnd approve this swindle before
Mann could get his money.
Thero has been a sudden application of
the brakes to tho headlong movement of
Mr. Secretary Dristow upon tho whisky ring.
It seems to bo tiio fato of every reformer in
sido of the Republican organization, tho mo
incut lie gels under fair headway, to striko
upon some unanticipated lead that points so
directly to tho Whito liouso that reform
can only bo continued nt the risk of destruc
tion. The lato painstaking publication of
tho President's desiro for investigation is in
tended to put tho public on a cold scent. It
will not bo followed by fresh activity in the
find of crooked whisky. Secretary Hristow
lias already gono far enough to discover that
the whisky ring was originally organized for
the purposo of procuring money for politi
enl purposes, and that its diversion to pur
poses of private speculation was an episode
of tho general plunder. Tho prosecution of
tlio Chief Clerk Avery was a ficrco intima
tion from the ring that it could striko back
and that it would striko back effectually, if
pressed. Tiio result will bo that Avery will
not bo convicted, and that tho whisky ring
will not be greatly molested hereafter. Sec
retary Hristow will havo to submit or retire,
as other secretaries have dono beforo him.

Why, corruption has extended irom tho cen

grip, own members of tho Cabinet, shapo
legislation, and subsidize subordinates in
every sphere of tho public service. Frauds
on a inimenso scale crop out in every direc
tion, Tens of millions nro stolen from the
revenues, and this loss is added to Iho bur
dens which weigh down and dishearten la
bor, cntcrpriso and energy. The worst Is
not known, and never will bo until tho party
is routed and tlio Administration changes

tho hopes of Radicalism, had spent its forco
and that a returning billow would repair tuc

their capacity to predict political results.
Tho causes which led to tlio ovcrthrow of tho
Republican party in many States last fall
aro still operating to their fullest extent.
Tho dishonesty, corruption and cxtravnganco
of tho National Administration and Its utter
disregard of tlio rights, interests and welfare
of tho people, havo aroused a spirit of hos
tility to the Republican party which cannot
bo appeased by promises to do better. Noth
