REPUBLICAN MISRULE.
The political events of the last few years
should cause every honest Republican to
hang bis head in shame for the misdeeds of
bia party leaders. It would take columns to
describe them all, and.besides they are fresh
in the recollection of all men. Open defi
ance of law, corruption and grand larceny
among high officials, the prostitution of
power, and the pollution of the ballot box
by Republican leaders, Is not only a matter
of common notoriety,but worse still a crying
crowd of office holders and a debauched
press openly defend these wroDgs. To per
petuate Its power, standing armies were kept
In the Southern States, and military law was
made supreme over the civil. To inflame
partisans at the North, and to maintain the
sway of carpet-baggers in the south, glar
ing lies about outrages were constantly cir
calated, orators spoke in dread of the "rebel
yell," and capital stood aghast when told
that the rebel debt would be paid if the
Democrats regained power.
How absurd all this seems viewed in the
light ot recent events 1 Mr. Hayes,although
claiming his seat as President by virtue of
the most gigantic fraud of modern times,
passed through the Southern States without
molestation, and in fact was received every
where with the courtesy for which the South
is noted. Although we are on the eve of an
important election, not a whisper is beard
of "rebel outrages" or of mlsgovernment in
the South. The army having been with
drawn, power has been relegated to the rul
ers chosen by the people, and as a couse
quence, peace, order and prosperity again
smile upon the South. True, it is a tacit
admission that Ibe people elected Hampton
of South Carolina, NicbolU of Louisiana,
and Drew of Florida, and it is also true
that those States gave their electoral votes
to Tilden, which made him President of
these United States j but the wrong of seat
ing Hayes is so glaringthat Republican sue
cess hereafter has been made impossible.
It is also worthy of remark, that Republi
can administrations, State and Federal, have
uniformly shielded rascally officials In their
own ranks. In proof of this it is only nee
eesary to refer to the Credit Mobilller, the
Whisky and Indian Rings and the Freed
man's Iiurcau, and to such typical men as
Belknap, Colfax, Bab-cock, Shepherd, and
hosts of others. But the day of retribution
has come. Wells, Anderson & Co. gave
Hayes the electoral vote of Louisiana, and
to-day they are answering for their crimes
before the bar of outraged Juttlce. And,
as the 7iiftruly says :
"Ex-Treasurer Cardoza, of South Can
Una, Is in jail at last, his colored surety hav
tag surrendered him to prison. Of the once
omnipotent band of South Carolina jobbers,
ex-Governor Moses has- been In prison and
now has turned State's evidence; ex-Senator
Sawyer is a convict ; Senator Patterson is
hiding from criminal Indictments found by
his own political party ; ex-Auditor Na
gle is a fugitive : ex-Treasurer Parker I
seeking to soften retribution by the confession
against himself and his associates : ex-Gov
ernor Chamberlain is waiting for the chain
to draw a little more tightly about him, and
ot all those who ruled until Chamberlain
was overthrown, not one Is safe from tb
whip of justice. Truly the mills of the gods
do grind exceeding small!"
Men are judged by the company tbey
keep. Can it be, that with all these facts
staring them in the face, honest Republl
cans can longer associate themselves with
such a party ? Time will tell.
The War Department on Sunday after
noon received official despatches regarding
the troubles in F.l Paso county, Texas. Tbey
show that the Mexican population of the
county have risen in Insurrection and ini
prisoned the county officials, Including two
Judges. At last accounts the Sheriff bad
escaped. Tbe rioters number four hundred.
the American about thirty, It ia said the
rioters expect aid from Mexico, and that the
Uvea of the..Amerlcana are in danger. The
trouble wm caused by the "location" of salt
lake.
ARRY THE NEWS TO HAYES !
is Frauduloncy Rebuked in His
own State!
Illsli'p Elected Governor anil the besislaturs
Democratic.
Wo learn by (olograph thai the Democrats
carried Ohio by at least 20,000 majority and
have also gained the Legislature which will
give us a U. S. Senator In place of Stanley
Matthews, Tho value of this victory, fol
lowing so closely as It does that In Callfor-
ia and Wyoming, cannot be over-estimated.
Ohio has heretofore been tho back bone of
llepublicanism, their majority at ono time
reaching over 100,000. Besides it was Hayes'
own State. Throwing aside the thin guise
f civil service reform, Hayes wielded the
whole Inllueuco of the administration to
secure a home endorsement. The best offi
ces were given to Obloans, Secretary Sher
man ran tho Treasury Department with a
view to securing it. Department clerks were
sent homo by tin thousand and paid for their
time.
But all was of no avail, and Hayes, desert
ed by his own party, and execrated by the
Democracy will go down to posterity as a
warning to all that Fraud cannot long reign
triumphant in this land.
And now Fennsylvanians to work, and let
us root out the C&merons and redeem the
old Keystone.
THE MADNESS Of THE HOUR.
For generations the capital stock in trade o
politicians and public writers has been the
rights and interests of tho "dear people,"
that "this is a government of tho people
by the pople, for tho people," and strange
to say many persons are foolish enough to be
lieve it. As a matter offset tho people havo
not much to do with tho management of their
public affairs, aod seem to caro but very lit'
tlo into whoso hands they are intrusted, A
few party leaders set the political machinery
in motion, conventions aro manipulated, and
then a demand is mado on tho pcoplo to sup'
port the candidates. In this way men arc
placed in office to whom the people are op
posed, and legislation is secured which is di
rectly against the interests and wishes of the
voters.
Does any one suppose that tho people fa'
vor land grabs, salary grabs, subsidies to rail
roads, and like legislation? Certainly not,
and yet their representatives in Congress go
on voting for such measures in utter disre
gard of tho wishes of their constituents.
But let us give another illustration, and
one that must come homo to every tax payer.
The late war entailed upon us a national debt
of over $2,600,000,000, besides a much larger
sntu in the shape of local and municipal in
debtedncs3. In order to maintain tbo Union
our people gavo lavishly of their blood and
treasure. Tho North was paralyzed and the
South bankrupt In such a condition of af
fairs it was not only unwiso but unjust to
crush the present generation by onerous taia
tion to make immediate payment of tho war
debt. Tho country that had been saved to
posterity , posterity should aid in payiug for
Not only that, but the South which had
dragged us into the war, should havo been
given a chanco to recuperate, so that she
could aid in tho payment of this immense
amount But .our law makers at Washing
ton, enjoying the delights of that gay capital,
and revelling in high salaries and huge jobs,
forgot the burdens and miseries of tbo peo
ple, and for a dozen years havo been laying
the heavy hand of taxation upon a prostrate
people, without tbo shadow of necessity. Our
national credit is good at home and abroad, as
is shown by the rapid absorption of our four
per cent, bonds. Surely then it would bo
sufficient to pay tho interest on our public
debt, and leave tho reduction ol tho principal
to the future, to a time when prosperity
returns to our borders, to a time when the
pcoplo have in a measure recovered from tho
losses caused by war, to a timo when our
vast resources shall have been more fully de-
eloped, and when our children may bear their
share o f tbe burden.
But our rulers have applied another thumb
screw to industry by providiug for tho re
sumption on the first of January, 1879. This
is another ingenious device of the bond-hold
er and capitalist Many a farm was bought
and many a contract was mado when green
acks were a legal tender, and at times when
they were worth but 60 cents on the dollar,
To compel specie payments at a timeliko
this means utter ruin, because tho specie is
hoarded up by capitalists, and when 1879
comes round it cannot be obtained by the
debtor class except at an exorbitant premium.
Tho past four years of suffering is nothing in
comparison to tho distress that will ensue if
tho resumption act is not repealed. All our
efforts should be used to accomplish this.
To make this question more practical 1 et us
refer to our own county. Day after day tho
Sheriff and Constable are sweeping away the
labors of a lifetime, and for mere nominal
prices. In such times there should bo leni
ency on the part of the wealthy creditor, a re
duction in expenditures and of the salaries of
officials. A Democratic Congress gained cred'
it by saving tho nation $40,000,000 a year,
and tho example should be followed every'
where.. The erection of a costly jail at this
time was against the earnest protests of the
people. But, as that question is now beyond
argument, surely the vast burden of paying
for it should not bo forced upon us in the
immediate future. Qod knows wo have
enough already to bear. It may bo a bags-
tollo to those who have their thousands at in1
terest, but it is vital to tho farmer and houso
holder,Eespocially when the fact is taken into
consideration that for two successive years
there has been a failure of the wheat crop i
our county. These loans are mado as invest'
mcnts. Tho mterest could bo paid regularly.
but make tho principal payable a oonsidcra
ble timo in the future, and not add this ad
ditional burden to the people at this time,
The jail is expected to answera hundred years
and there is no reason why tho cost should
bo paid in such installments and in so short
time. Will the Commissioners heed the prayers
of the peopU t

The Latest and Rest.
Col.UMiius, Ohio, October 10. Tho Re
publican committee havo received very little
news to-day and all political Information
has tu be obtained from tho domocratio
headquarters. The democratic slnto com
mittee up to this hour have what arc called
official returns from just one-half of tho
counties of the state and theso show n demo
cratic gain over tho vnto of last year of 1(1,
Ci'C. Taking this as n basis tbey claim that
Bishop's majority cannot fall below 25,000,
adnthcy feel confident that tho official count
will glvo him 23,000 or 30,000. In tho
Houso the democrats will navo sixty-seven
members, the republicans thirty-nine, work
ingmen three. Democratic majority 23. In
the senato the democrats will havo 25 and
tho republicans 10. Democratic majority 15
This vw 111 give tho democrats -II on joint
ballot. It Is not likely that tho full official
count will materially change the legislative
majorities.

Albany, October The convention re
assembled slowly this morning, mid was not

aunounccd that tho couimitteo on credentials
would not bo ready to report for fifteen or
twenty minutes.
t 12 noon the couimitteo on contested

who wero yosterday accepted as regular by
action of tho state committee, contesting cre
dentials from Orleans having been presented
without any signature attached J also in favor
of tho Murphy, or regular delegates from
Heunailcar.
Tho chairman said tho duties of tho com
mittee had been arduous, tho investigation
having been attended with much conflictin;
tcstimooy. They had tried to do justice, and
though not unanimous, a largo majority of
the committee concurred in its action. Tho
delegations admitted from New York and
Kings wero reported as tho regular elected
delegates.
The cntiro regular delegation of Tammany
were admitted, the contest in tho First and
Second districts having been ammicably ad

Mr. Qreen moved as an amendment, that a
committee on permanent organization of one
member from cacli congressional district be
chosen from tho delegates thereof and that a
committee on resolutions, to whom all resolu

chairman. Mr. Potter addressed the conven
tion.
The platform recites that tho pcoplo elect

A special dispatch to the Daily Chronicle
from Cleveland gives the details of a terribl
tragedy which occurred near that place on
last Saturday'nlght. A man named Carper

daughter in the head with a smoothing iron
then cut the child's throat, afterward Bhoot
lug himself mortally. The doors of his house
were found bolted this morning. Carper was
still alive, but dlod In a few moments. The
suicide was an avowcd.athelst. He bad been'

ily and get out of the world, He came to
Bradley county a few years ago. All his
family who were at home at tbe time were
murdered.
It has been rumored In New Orleans that
lion. Jeremiah 8. Blackjhas been retained to

The Fatal Storm.
All Tickering Valley is in mourning for its
dead and dying, Tlio quiet country folk havo
hail their Ashtabula horror, aud suffering mid
anguish fill many n homo. Tlio sequel to tho
Peiinypackor reunion is a sad one, and of
thoso in the returning Vally train, most of
whom had spent tlio day at Schweiiksville,
seven wero killed outright by tho accident of
riiurd.iy night and nearly fifty wero wound

tub place ov this accident.
Tho Pickering Valley Branch of tlio Read
ing Railroad is cloven miles in length, aud
rum from Phecnixvilio to Bycrs. It is a
very crooked lino, and its courso through tho
valley can only bo compared to tho tortuous
windings of a Jersey creek. At tho point
whero tho accident occurred tho track was
built upon an earthy embankment thrown
across a natural ravino three hundred yards
ong. To tho left of tho lino, going towards
Bycrs, is a stretch of high land, and to tlio
riaht, some two hundred yards distant, is tho
swollen aud muddy water of French creek.
This embankment is perhaps twenty feet
high on tho former side, while on tho latter
tho fall is fifty or sixty feet. Throughout
Thursday tho rain fell steadily, and between
and 0 o'clock tho water poured down in tor
rents. Tho high lands acted as a perfect
watcr-shed, and a great pool collected at the
foot of tho embankment. Tho old residents
of tho neighborhood, ono of whom is Isaac
Moycr, whoso farm tho track crosses, say
that just at this placo the water always col
lected after a great rain, and that no matter
how many stones wero carted in, a gulch was
always worn away. No culvert was provided,
and tho great stretch of earth served as a dam
for tho water which poured down tlio high
lands. At 5 o'clock, when tho train to Phro-
nixvillo passed tho spot there was nothing
to bespeak impending danger. Tho water
must havo worked its way under tlio embank
ment gradually, and botwe'en 5 and G a pas'
sago-way onco mado through tlio dirt, sixty
or seventy feet gavo way and tho pent-up
waters rushed on to the creek, strewing tho
meadows with great stones. Tho tracks prob-
ably remained stretching across tho chasm,
for when tho ill-fated train came thundering
along on its return trip tlio engineer it is sup
posed, saw the shining rails and know nothing
of tho gap beneath. Tho cngino was running
backwards, drawing two passenger cars and s
baggage, passenger and inilk car combined,
Wheu tho opening was reached the engine
fell a distance of thirty feet, the first car was
dragged upon it and tho second smashed
through tbo roof of tho first Tho third car
was dragged but part way over, and was not
smashed up a3 were the others. Tho rain
was still falling in torrents, and the fire which
was discovered shortly after the accident was
speedily extinguished.
REMOVING THE DEAD AND WOUNDED.
There wero one hundred and twenty passcn -
gers on tho train, but when tho wreckers
reached the ravino none but tho wounded
ones were to bo found, and it is supposed
that those who escaped unhurt hastened
away as soon as possible. Ibe mud was
deep, and the work of removing tho dead
and wounded was arduous.
Throughout tho night tho work went on
amidst tho rain and the cries and shrieks of
the suffering ones. J. Frank Kennedy, the
engineer, about thirty-fivo years old,) was
found under tho cngino, horribly brui'ed. Ho
lived in Bycrs and leaves a wifo and a large
family. Michael Cobett, brakeman was pinn
cd between tho couplings, and was not re
moved until fivo o'clock yesterday morning.
Ho was taken to tho Pennsylvania Hospital,
where ho lies in a critical condition. He has
a wifo and two children. His sufferings wero
intense, but ho could not be taken out before
that hour on account of tho softness of the
earth.
As soon as tbo car was raised a bit it
would fall back again. William Hallman and
wife, of Chester Springs, were taken out dead
locked in each other's arms. Nathan Penny,
packer, of West Pikeland township, and Is
aac Tustin and his son Jones, of Chester
Springs, wero also killed. The last dead body
found was that of the fireman, Georgo T.
Griffith, of Lionvilic. He was tho only sup
port of an aged mother. Ho was taken from
under tho cngino at five o'clock yesterday af
ternoon.
Tho wounded number about fifty in all
some of them slightly, however. Tho names
of thoso most seriously hurt are : Olio Pri-
zer, leg broken ; J. J. Tustin, thigh fractur
ed : William Pennypacker, broken jaw and
badly bruised ; Isaao Hurtuiau, badly injured
internally; John Latshaw.'leg broken; Mrs.

nounced, bringing the total number up to
eleven. Mrs. Albert Pennypacker, of Pike-

A SAMl'LB OltUAN.
During the last Presidential campaign no
journal was more defamatory or louder In
its abuse of Gov. Tilden than the frets.
"Traitor," "demagogue.'Tweedite," "perju
ror," Ac, were common epithets. AW, it
uses the following language in regard to
him :
"Whatever may be said of Tilden's course
as a national statesman, it must be conceded
that he made sincere and useful efforts to
rescno the city of New York from the gang
of Tammany pluderers who under Tweed i
leadership had unmercifully robbed taxpay-
ere, and that after he was elected Governor
he also combated successfully the Canal
Ring that had long been robbing tho State
of New York.

The Ohio Revolution.
Tho stunning Democratic victory In Ohio
surpasses the highest hopes of tho successful
party and strikes tho vanquished dumb with
amazement. It is not n mcro defeat i it is a
revolution, mid It leaves tho Republicanism
that has woven tho greenest cliaplets our
history In Its better days,ln tho starless mid
night of hopelessness. It Is Idle to explain
that Greenback, Labor and Prohibition di
versions decimated tho Republican party
whllo tho Democracy stood in solid ranks
when tho decisive battlo camo upon them.
Republicanism was disintegrated, not be-
causo its voters loved Greenback, Labor or
Prohibition doctrines better, but becauso
they demanded somo channtiel of egress from
tho befouled Republican templo ; and tho
Democracy stood to their guns bccauo they
wero eilt of power j because they wanted to
in power, and becauso Republicanism
oponed its own gates for the enemy to cuter
and overwhelm It.
Tho verdict of Ohio Is unmistakable. It
is a crushing defeat for President Uayes.and
It comes from thoso who should havo been
friends as well as from consistent foes. It
comes from Incongruous elements which
found unity without arrangement to striko
tho fatal blow. He was hated for his faith
to tho peace of tho nation j ho wassmltteu
by thousands who felt that ho wears another's
crowii,and he was deserted,'by many because o
thodistrustcd leaders whogayo him half heart
ed support and yet loaded him with their
friendship. Judgo Wcstopenedthocampaigii
by n fatal stab directed at his own vitals, and
tho party floundered under his nwkward ef
forts to 'retrievo his irrelrievablo blunder.
Stanley Matthews was a double millstono
about tho neck of the President and a dead
weight upon tho tottering party, while cross
purposes and a general spirit of vengeance
within tho Republican household, made It
an easy conquest for tho practically united
Democracy.
Whether tho majority for Bishop shall
foot up twenty or thirty thousand matters
little. It Is not less than twenty, and mure
is needless, for it carries tho Legislattiro and
a United States Senator, and dates tbo final
destruction of the debauched Republicanism
that was first arraigned at Cincinnati in
1872. It will sweep down the last vestige
of hopeful opposition to Democratic success
in Pennsylvania, aud even Philadelphia will
swing from her Republican moorings in No-
vombei. Fhila Times.
Auotiier Fort Taken.
The Summit, a prominent Radical organ
in Iowa, publishes an interesting letter from
its Penna,, correspondent, and after speak
ing of the late riots, their cause aud remedy
ho thus plainly talks about political afTuirs.
The letter is written from Pittsburg, and
ys:
'Thero is music in the air inPcnusylvnnia
politics. Thero is no moro doubt
but that Pennsylvania will roll over to dem
ocracy this fall by a small majority, than
there is that Hayes hud 50,228 majority in
Iowa last November, but some of our anx
ious ones hope that Stcrrett and Passmorc,
for Judge and Auditor General may be able
to pull through by small majorities, but no
body expects to elect llarl for Treaturer, his
defeat seems a foregone conclusion. With
either Noyes or Barr as their candidates tho
democracy will carry the Treasurer by from
12 to 15,000 majority. Let the band play,
and for my predictions I give you, first :
This county (Allegheny) which gave Hayes
9,481 majority will not give us this year 3,-
000 majority, while Lancaster where Hayes
had 7,787. majority we will fall short of 3,-
COO ; in York whero, Hayes bad 0,827 yotes,
I predict wo will looso at least 1,500 votes
with tho ticket as "slated," while in Phila
delphia whera Hayes had 15,030 majority it
is doubtful if tho party will bo able, to
more than hold its own. Philadelphia and
Pittsburg, our largest pities, and heretofore
heavily ,Republicau are blessed now with,
tho former a democratic Sheriff and District
Attorney, the latter a democratic mayor.
Upon these and other figuies I baso my cal
culations, and just wait and see how near
correct they prove to be."
Perhaps it woujd be asking too much of
our neighbor, tho Herald, to publish the
above for the benefit of its candidate lor

Tho Supremo Court of Minnesota, in tho
recent case of the First National Bank of
Rochester, appellant, vt. Frederick M. (Pier-
son, respondent, declares that tho "national
banks havo no power to deal and speculate
in promissory notes, for tho purpose of pri
vato gain and profit alone, or to acquire any
titlo thereto by purchase, other than in the
ordinary way of discount." If thisdecision
is to be understood as applying to the pur
chase by banks of notes in tho hands of bill
brokers as owners, or held by them for ne
gotiation, aud tho decision abovo annouueed
is law in Pennsylvania as well as in Minne
sota, much of tho business of some of our
banks will bo materially shortened. Wo say
tome of our banks because some of them do
largely of that kind of business, while oth
ers, in tbo management of men nicely con
scientious eschew It altogether. It has been
generally held that by tho purchase from
third parties of notes under their faco valuo
tho penality of usury did not attach to
holders under such purchase. Such paper
has been treated in tho light of a commodity
which may be freely and legally dealt in at
its market price. There are decisions both
ways, we believe, on tho question. The Na
tional Banking law gives to each institution
existing under it all powers necessary "to
carry on tho business of banking by dis
counting and negotiating promissory notes,
drafts, bills of oxebaoge and other evidences
of debt." It also limits tho rate of Interest
charged to that allowed by the State where
tho bank is located. If negotiating includes
buying tbo law would seem to authorize such
action, and by implication to exempt it from
the panalty of usury. Jir.
The Nez Perco war is nearly ended. Chief
Joseph, after outmarching, outgenerslliiig,
and outfighting our great army with bis
handful of warriors, after mounting, pro
visioning, and rearming them from tbe spoils
of our beaten forces, now, covered with
laurels, join Sitting Bull, in Canada, where,
iu a rich buffalo region, ho can rest his war
rlors and tell to sympathetic hearers th(
story of his victories. Grateful as the close
of the chase may be to hlm,it Is vastly more
so to us, because this grand, final failure
puts an end to our long and mortifying ex
hibltion of military inefficiency, and to the
awful losses which have marked this bloody
and costly war, founded in liijustlco.brouglit
on with rccklessnessswaged with Imbecility,
and crowned with irremediable disaster.

A telegram from General Miles jeporta

a severe engagement. Seventeen of the

Tho Wllllninsport Bond Decision.
Tho decision of tho baro 'majority of tho
Supremo Court of this Commonwealth In
tho Wllliainsport bond caso Is exciting iiiueh
attention at tlio hands of tho editorial fra
ternity as wen ns tiiosc oi juuges nnu law
yers. Wo noticed tlio decision on satiinlay
in tho absence of any opportunity of reading
any of tho several opinions by tho several
judges of tho court, having beforo us at tho
timo only a brief notlco of tho decision Its
elf. Wo felt constrained to tako sides with
tho minority of the court on tho single point
then In our possession, the inherent power
of a municipal corporation to lasuo bonds In
amount exceeding the limit named in tho
law. Such action is certainly unwarranted
and clearly n wrong to tax payers, who aro
the paymasters. But slnco then the vlows
or Chief Justtco Agncw, concurred in by
Justices Woodward nml Stcrrett have conio
to hand, and wo avail ourselves of a brief
abstract of tho samo, as presenting somo of
the cqtiltablo points involved. 'Tho decision
of the mnjorlty was in efTcct that powcr,how
ever dangerous, must bo lodged somewhere,
and that if tho peoplo of a city aro careless
and allow themselves to be feoverened by
political tramps they must take the conse
quence. This sounds to us very strange doc
trino to come from tho highest court in tho
State, especially in theso days of "rings"
(composed mainly of parties in authority)
and the almost dally development of frauds
ou tax payers of tho most gigantic propor
tions. If the law is thus unceremoniously
tumbled over by the Supremo Court thoro
seems littlo room for censure of any authority
below it. But tbo Chief Justlco and tho
minority of the court show that tho equities
of the issue, as developed In the examina
atlon, are all the way through hand-iu-hand
with what Beems to us tho law of tho case.
That chief .officer holds that tho leading doc
trines of the opinion aro dangerous in their
direction, imperiling. the safety of the tax-
pavers of all cities. Tho recent history of
corporate affiilrs is cited to show how dang
erous it is to leave tho administration of af
fairs in tho bands of unprincipled men, a
knowledgo of whoso character is often only
learned after they are elected to office. The
history of those Williamsport bonds shows
that sixty-seven of them wero issued for
"unknown purposes' and ono hundred and
eighty-three to persons "unknown and for
"purposes unknown." Tho Chief Justico
further states that of G45 bonds issued 115
were sold at sixty-three cents on the dollar
two at sixty-seven cents, and twenty at
eighty-seven cents on the dollar. Also that
of $015,000 of bonds issued, $183,339 wero
not even authorized by Williamsport Coun
cils. That 1G2 ono thousand dollar bonds
wero issued to pay old debts. That these old
debts wero bought up by tho parties receiv
ing the bonds at a discount of from5to40
per cent. Of tho $040,000 of bonds issued
but $200,000 were authorized by" act of As
sembly. These facts, if tolerated in law, are
calculated to clothe dishonest corporation
officials with entirely too much power, who
are not agents with absolute power,blind the
people, but local officers elected to perform
functions prescribed by law. The Chief
Justico forcibly argues that theso officials
have no implied powers; that their powers
aro strictly such as are given by legislative
grnnt ; that the officers of tho city of Will
iamsport were not elected to issue $445,000
in bonds more than allowed by law, and if
they can bind the citizens for tbat amount
tbey can also bind for as many millions. In
all the amount issued over the legal limit
tho peoplo of Williamsport wero not repre
sented by their officials. Finallydooking at
the Williamsport bond issue in the light of
depreciation, the.minority opinion criticizes
soverely the policy which creates a debt of
$100 by tho issue of a bond on which but
sixty-threo dollars wero realized, and depre
cates the opening of a door by which dis
honest officials may ruin their constituents
by selling largo amounts of bonds at a dep
reciated rate. The opinion is quito long, but
as forcible in argument as it'is interesting in
tho narration of tho facts of tho case. Tlio
.question is one worthy of popular study in
all municipalities. There is fear that tho
majority of the court, in this decision,- may
have yielded in a perhaps doubtful case to
tbo just indignation everywhere entertained
against everything looking to repudiation,
and in its effort to bo entirely straight has
lcancda little to tho other side. Phila,

The Workinginan's Greatest Enemy.
IIo who champions tho cause of the work-
ipgman falls far short of his duty if he falls
to warn him against one common enemy, tho
liquor saloon. If you are not a tempcranco
man, there is all the moro reason why you
should look this Bubject fairly In tbe face.
Tho saloon is not an industrial concern.
It neither feeds nor clothes you. It is a
trap placed upon nearly every corner, to
catch your money without giving a profita
ble return. It absorbs a portion of your
earnings, and leaves you none tbe better for
it, but very likely much tho worsojiP inor
als, health, pocket, aud sell-respect. You
know that this is so, if you stop to think.
The seeds of numberless evils and none what
ever of good to mankind grow iu these hot
beds of corruption. Wo beg our friends, the
,workingmen,tq avoid liquor saloons. If you
can find no other society nor place of resort
you are indeed unfortunate; but better none
than such as thus lower your manhood and
vour nurse. California Jririculturitt and

JOSEPH'S HANI) CAl'IUItJJD.
Fort Benton, Montana, October 8, via
Helena, October 9. A courier arrived from
General Miles' battlo field one hour ago;
bringing the intelligence that Joseph with
his entire bund bad surrendered.
The capitulation occurred at 2 o'clock p,
ra, on the 0th Inst. The savages gave up
their guns and ammunition, passing in sol
emn review before General Miles, and ac
cepting an unconditional surrender.
Tbe troops at.o'uco occupied the Indian
intrenebment and the first victory over the
Indians for two years was signalized. In
the charge upon tbo Indian camp tlio first
day sixty-four officers and men were killed
and wounded. ' After the' 'camp had been
surrendered, and the soldiers had secured de
fensiyo positions, oply four casualties oc
curred. The soldiers closed in upon the
savages slowly but surely after tho first day,
all tbe time extending their linaof rlflo pits.
It was the purpose of General Miles to loso
no more men in me auacic.
The following words 'of Thomas Jefferson
are quite apposite just now, and the fraudu
lent President should reflect upon 'them :
"I coufess that I am not reconciled 'to the
Idea. of a Chief Magistrate parading him
elf lb rough; theeverjil itjtajjs as an object
of public gaze, and In quest of an applause,

will by a faithful discharge of my duties,
