Alfred II. Hill tho uiombor from tho Lower
end of Lycoming dos?rvos unro than a pass
iug notice at our hands. Kew men of so short
nii cxpcriouc3 in matters of legislation have
mado a mora dntin"Uishcd record. His su
periority is not found in tho number of pa
ges in which his name figures in the Legisla
live Record but in that closo attention to bu
siness and capacity to weigh tho relative ef
fects of opposing interests. Tha man that
(ays most in the halls of legislation, is not
the man that wields influence. Hill is not of
that class. Ho is ono of those that docs not
talk until ho has something to say and then it
is to the poiut. His closo attention to busi
ness has often attracted tho attention of his
fellow members, and won for him the sobri
quet of firm as the hills. In our frequent vis
its to tho Stato Capital wo bavo always found
him at his post. Tha business of his county
and his constituents is the first thought
of his mind. After that in all questions of
State policy ho takes a broad and plntantrop-
io vie. Ho has now mastered tho routine
of business and will in tho future, if returned
again by his constituents, brin to his com
mand n complete knowledge of parhamenta
ry law. This is an essential prerequisite in
order to maintain that equal advantago and
skill m legislative tactics the tine qua nan of
success. The peoplo of old Lycoming wo
think would mako a great mistake in not re
turning Mr. Hill. Wo hopo thoy will, and
our word 1'or it they will not be sorry.
THE NEW l'AKTY AND ITS CANDIDATES
Tho possibilities of tho party that met ii
Convention in Philadelphia last week, were
great. By judicious nominations, nnd well
constructed platform, they might bavo polled
n very largo vote at the fall election But all
llio golden opportunities were disregarded,
the platform first adopted was a couiuiuuitic
document "fit only for a mob." True, the
nioro conservative elements sat up all night
after the adoption of tho platform, to con
struct something else a little better calculated
to catch the floating votes here and there, and
on Thursday uiomirg tho Labor resolutions
wero repudiated and tho Greeuback senti
ments nlopted. Tlio platform is too long to
give in full. It demands everything while it
promises nothing. It is a conglomeration of
so-called principles of tho Labor Reformers,
the Nationals and tho Greenbackcrs. The
name ado'ited for the new party in this con
vention, indicates tho character of tho plat
form.. It is tho National-Greenback-Labor
party.
THE CANDIDATES.
Samuel It. Mason, the nominee for Gov
ernor, is a lawyer reading in the town of
Mercer, scat of Jlerccr county. He is fifty
years of age, having been born of Scotch-Irish
pareutago on a' tuiall farm in Wa-diington
township, Lawrence county, but then a part
ofMerecr. i o has been practicing at tho
Mercer bar for twenty-five years, and in
Western Pennsylvania is known as a gentle
man of largo experience and marked execu
tive ability. His practice has been good
from the beginning, aud for the pat fifteen
years he has been looked upon as well-to do.
Ho never held any publio office or office of
any kind, except that ot cider in tho l'resby
tcrian Church of his town. His vote has been
cast with tho Democrats, but he was never
an active .partWau. Threo years ago ho pub
licly took up tho Labor cause, aud has since
then lxen identified with tho Nationalists in
Mercer. At tho Williamsport Convention
last year Mr. J. G. White, chairman of the
United Labor county committee of Mercer,
mentioned Mr Mason as a candidato for the
Supremo .Judgeship, but ho withdrew in fa
vor of Judge Bentley. Mr. Mason is a largo
man, well precrved, with n fine address. Uo
has not a Iriir on the top of his head and
very few whiskers. Ho is u good speaker,
smooth, persuasive and always logical. His
family consists of a wife and nine children.
The nomination ol' Mason was tho woik of
tlio Cameron riug. Agents were in Phila
delphia for tho purpose of preventing the
nomination ol Armstrong, aud they were suc
cessful, William II. Armstrong was tlio only
man whom Hoyt IVared. Had Armstrong
been nominated, it would have made Hoyt'u
nomination by the Itcpublicaus uncertaiu,and
his defeat if nominated almost sure. To pre
vent all this, the Cameron.', who s till own the
state, tet about Armstrong's overthrow, and
accomplished it, by the nomination of Judge
Bently ol Williuuiiport for Supreme Judg
Tho trick seemed apparcut when Immediately
after the iiomiucofor governor wan sclcctcd.a
dispatch was ent Bentley asking him to
withdraw in favor of Judgo Agncw. He
was put on the track only long enough to
crowd Armstrong oil. Wo would not guar
uutco that a certaiu delegate uot fur from
here did not go to Philadelphia to holp the
Camerons capture tho Convention.
Christopher Shearer, the uomineo for Lieu
tenant Governor has declined to be a candi
date, and the vacancy will bo filled by tho
Stato committee.
Judgo Benjamin S. lleutlcy, tho candidato
for Supreme Judge, is about sixty yeaia of
age, auU lias been a member of tho bar over
thirty yeari.
In 1808 Lycoming county waa made a ju
dicial district, aud ho was appointed to pro
tide upou the bench by Governor Geary. In
tho fall of the year 1SU8 ho was renominated
by the Kepublicaus us tho opposition to Judge
Gamble, who was the candidate on tlio Dem
ocratic ticket for the President Judgeship,
aud Mr. Bcutly was defeated. Upon hU ro
iliceucutfroui tho bench, tlio members of the
bar lield n meeting and passed resolutions
coinplinionting liim upon liis fair nnd ablo
elections vfliilo upon the bench and tho high
regard which they hold htin in. Sinco then
ho has been practicing law with considerable
jucect?, and is regarded as ono of tho nioit
popular men in tho lumber districts. Ho was
n (launch Hopublicn until four years ago,
when, as lio says, ho discovered that the two
political parties wero ndmltiNtctrd In the in
crests of tho money power, nnd that ho could
not conscientiously support cither ono of
them. Ho voted lor Cooper and Carey in
S7C, and last year was tho candidate ol
the Independent Greenback parly for tho
pn-ition for which bo is now again nomlna
ted. In hi speech accepting tho nomination
last year .Tudga llcntley declared that ho was
in tho Independent Biorcment heart nnd
soul.
James L, Wright, tlio nominee for Secre
tary of Internal Affairs, was nominated for
Stato Treasurer by tho first State Con
vention which was held at the city of Harris
burg, September 10, 1S77. Ho is a tailor by
trade and lives in Philadelphia. Mr. Wright
is fifty-nino years old, and has 'Hded with
tho workingmen,' according to his own word,
since I was nineteen. Ho was president of
tho Anti-Monopoly Convention hell at Har
risburg In March 1870, aud temporary chair
man of tho National Labor Convention held
in Pittsburg in April of tin same year.
As tho matter h is turned out, the new par
ty is gotten up in the interest of tho Repub
lican party. Astaunch Hepublican liko Wil
liam II. Armstrong was rejected for Govern
or, and Mason, formerly a Democrat was
nominated to draw off Democratic votes.
Democrats who aro deluded into following
this new leader should bear in mind that ev
ery vote drawn from tho party is equivalent
to a vote for Hoyt, who will bo tho Republi
can candidato for Governor.
Investigatiii!; tlio Fraud.
The work of investigating the criminal
processes by which the people of the United
States were defrauded ot their choice of a
President has at last bgun in earnest in
Congress, and it should not be abandoned
until all who who were engaged in the com
mission of tho crime whether as principals
or accessories shall be brought to punish
ment. A substantial basis for the resolution
of Mr. Potter of New York was found in the
solemn memorial of the State of Maryland
and in the affidavit of a member of tbo Flor
ida returning board. As Speaker Kandall
was bound to decide, this resolution Involv
ed n question of the highest privilege. Hut
instead of fairly meeting the issue .the re
publican minority in Congress resorted to fil
ibustering in order to cover fraud. Many
of them have admitted over and over again
in private conversation that Hayes is in
fraudulent occupancy of the president! al
office. Yet when confronted with a simple
resolution which contemplates the invest!
gation of the fraud and making an enduri ng
official record ot it that it may stand In his
tory as u warning they shrink away from the
issup. They dread the inquiry proposed in
this resolution becausa they have already
anticipated the revelations that will.be made
Hut tho investigation will go on in spite of
their resistance. If it shall be ascertained
that John Sherman in Louisiana was
complicity with J. Madison Wells, advising
the commission of the frauds by which the
electoral votoof that state was stolen, and
that Edward P.Noyes bargained with M'Lin
and others in Florida, promising official re
wards in behalf of Mr, Hayes in return for
the theft of electoral votes, another and more
Important issue will arise. Hut first let tho
facts be ascertained aud put them upon en
during record. To that end let the investi-
gation of the frauds In Louisiana and
Florida be searching and thorough.
The republican opponents of this invest!
gation profess to entertain great fear that it
will interrupt tbo business and interfere with
the prosperity of the country. Their alarm
Is unduly exaggerated. This foar of distur
bing tho business of the country is beco ming
rather threadbare as a partisan pretext . Is
it proposed to relorm notorious and flagrant
abuses in the revenue system of the country.
at once those who are interested in main
taining these abuses cry out in chorus against
disturbing the business of the country. Af
ter they haro derived all the proGt that is
possible from the abuses they will perhaps
consent that another generation shall inau
gurate the necessary reforms. Is a resold
tion introduced in congress to take notice of
the most astounding frauds upon the suffrage
upon the confession of some of the men who
officially participated in them the cry is re
pealed that the prosperity of the country
will bo Imperilled by the investigation and
the agitation attending it. If the prosperity
of the couutry cannot sustain such a shock
It must rest on an exceedingly insecure toiin
datiou. Hut the quietists dread agitation
much more on their own account than that
of the country, for whoso business interests
they profess so much concern. They shrink
with undisguised alarm from an investiga
tion which threatens to reveal to tho world
the proof that Mr. Hayes by offering official
honors and rewards to those who were enga
ed In making the canvass of the electoral
votes In Florida was an active participant
in the frauds by which he was elevated to
the Presidency of the United States against
the consent of n great majority of the peo
ple. As partisans they dread the exposuro
of tho character of the services for which
John Sherman was made secretary of tho
treasury and Edward F. Noyes was sent as
minister to France, with the work that was
performed and the rewards that were ob
tained by the minor conspirators In this
great drama of political crime. Hut the Is
sue between the two political parties on this
question has been made up by the action of
the house on Monday, In behalf of a wrong
ed and outraged people the democrats de
mand an investigation of the electoral
crimo and the exposure of all who were con
cerned in it that It may servo as a warring
to political conspirators and knaves for all
time. The republicans In congress, on the
other hand, throw every obstacle in tbo way
of Investigation In fear of the partisan con
sequences, while making hypocritical pre
tense of alarm concerning the business inter
ests ot the country. No country can pros
per nor deserves to prosper whose reprcsen-
tatlves have not the courage to probe to the
bottom a crime against the elective franchise
which saps tho very foundation of the polit
leal institutions upon which all its material
prosperity must ;depend. The people wjll
decide between tho two parties on this Issue.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, I). C, May I I, 1878.
Tho Pott (Democratic dally) of this morn
ing Is confident that a resolution based
principally on Blair's memorial and second
arily on the cvldenco contributed by MeLIn
nnd his pals In Florida nnd elsewhere, will
bo carrlnl to-dny, calling for nn Immediate
Investigation. It mj thn Speaker has de
rided It may be offered us n privileged ques
tion, anil Unit the temporizing expedients
and the vacillhtlon have been so far over
come as to jmtlfy tin belief that before ad
journment tii-ntgbt the ground will have
been broken for n imwt earch!ng Inquiry,
It further Intimate that tha Kepubllcans
will move to amend so as to Include all
Southern Slates having railed Itpnhllcan
majorities but which went overwhelmingly
forTilden. It Is thought likely that this
r.oure has been ailopied so that by raking
over several States they may be able to get
together somo fragments whr-rctvith to rebut
tho damaging ili'clo-ures relative to the rad-
Icsl manipulation of votes In South C.irollnn4
I' loriila and Louisiana. 1 o the extent that
the Republican leaders have any specific
evidence nf fraud, tlmy will likely be grati
fied. Hut It hardly seems provable that they
will bo allowed to go all over United States
tn pick up Isolated eae.s of intimidation of
voters, to belittle aud off.et thrlr wholesale
frauds by which tho popular will of whole
communities and States was defeated and the
minority made seemingly, the victors in a
national election, "The dog shall return to
his vomit nnd the sow tn her wallowing."
Dennis, who seems tn have ery much ex
aggerated tho weight nf obligations under
which he has placed the Democracy by the
part ho has had in tho Florida confession,
and probably regretting his weakness in
yielding to the promptings of conscience,
has left us in high dudgeon becsme, as it
appear, he was not permitted to boss the
job, and hurry the investigation prematurely
when ho could, perhaps, have established
just as much as would have been to the good
and behoof of nuinberone.and there stoppei
without particular regard for anything but
the aggrandizement of Dennis. Any how,
he has gone, breathing vengeance nnd
swearing to make the investigation a hot one
forho Democrats in Florida. Itseems the
judgment hero that he has been treated by
the administration to a tasto of his own de'
coction and it-seems to have been as distaste
ful as to fill the abdominal viscera with the
East wind.
I cannot refrain from referring for a mo'
ment to the speech of Gen. Gordon deliver
ed in the Senate last Tuesday, because it is
one of the lew speeches made here this win
ter on national finances that will.have a per
manent value. While the courtesy that
marks Senator Gordon's bearing under all
circumstances was observed throughout the
speech, that did not serve to detract from
the force of bis scathing arraigment of
those responsible for the financial .legislation
of the past 10 years, which will be denoun
red as the remote aud proximate cause of
nil the ills wo have sum-red sinci 1873.

in the depths of poverty, deprivation and
wretchedness. Every deduction was logical

nancial history of leading European powers
The floor and galleries were deserted by tho
usual habitues and filled by a critical audi
cnce.such as might be expected to be interest'
ed in finauces. He had it with him through
out. Of all Southern Representatives none
have stood higher than Gen. Gordon from
the moment he first entered the Senate.then
best known as a commander of one wing ol
Lee's army, and as the confidential friend ol
that great captain. I commend his full
speech to all who desire a clear presentation
of tho financial problem of to-day free of
the verbago nnd abstraction usually strung
together and dubbed a "financial speech.
Sitting Bull's threats receive some atten

TUB MONEY.QUKSTION.
Eight general and disastrous failures nnd
suspensions of epecio payments occurred in
tho United Statos within sixtyfivo yosrs bo
foro tha era of greenbacks was inaugurated,
not to mention tbo almost iuiiumcrablo local
suspensions ovor the satin period. Money is
merely a means of exchanging articles, and
no other valuo can bo needed in money. It is
legal mcaurn as much as a fn it rule is n le
gal foot, twelve iiulms loni, established by
custom nnd law. ft does not iilfect pi ices, for
the legal cord of pine wood liny ho worth four
dollars, whilei tho sa ne- legal measure of oak
ood may he wjrth i ight dollars, the prico of
legal ton of )i iy may bo ten dollars, whilo
tho same legal weight of eo il in iy bavo only
livo dollars as Its price ; llius a legal measure
of vahw cannot nlfiot the priuo of commodi
ties or production'. The measure of the car
penter need not bo a two foot rule, made of
gold or Any other metal, it may bo only n nar
row strip of papor, and yet ai perfect as if of
gold and set with diamonds. All luuisurcs
whether money or yardsticks, gilhnn.or tons,
aro measures only, we d not cill them pro
ductions or commodities. Gold is no better
as a measure of valuo than c ipper, nickel, or
paper money. All those uiMiures hive tho
same bais too, they all rest on custom and
law; thoy have no other truo bais, nor need
any other foundation. Ten cents in sp?cio
or ten cents in paper, are measures of valuo,
the ruckle cent is also a incauro of value. The
fleets of a mixid eurre:i:y hive always
brought disaster and fit inci it distress. Pa
per money issued by any g.jverinent as a law
ful tender for all debts, taxes and government
lues, should rjst in tlu o.i ictumits of th)
nation's la.v.s an i credit ati.l on in other basis
whatever, any other basis is falo an 1 delu
sive. Metals are eounujdities and produc
tions for manufacturing purposes, and not
Heeded fot money in exchanging one article
ii your p)sossion for another article in your
neighbor's poisesd in that yiu may desire to
Iiavo. Money is only a convenience, not an
absolute lucess'ty ; frequent purchisos, sales
and payments, aro mada without the use of
money, or any othor rjprescuta'ivo of valua,
but simply trade value for value, but when
money becomes tbo reprecutattre, it is used
for convenience in nuking exchanges. A one
dollar greenback represents ten loaves of
bread, or half a days woik ; it can twenty or
a huudred debts iu ouo day for as many peo
ple, and be paid back to you at night, this is
its mission ; it dies the work it was created
to do, law gave it being and rapacity. Com
mon consent gave it motion, vigor, nnd cur
rency. It represents and ex j lanos property,
pays debts, answers ovory man's purpose,
meets every contract, fulfils every function
required of money. We do uot mako watch
es of it, but mo it forunnoy, The use of
money dupjiids on legal authority nnd the
common consent of the people, and not on
its material. It is a gross error and an ab
surd notion to think that money must be
metal, or that paper must ret on metal t
make it vu'uable. A few pounds of nickel
costs but a few cents, but if the .same iiicklc
bo faslii ned into cents it represents a hun
dred dollars. Tho iuiprct-s of authority gives
it va'u3 unknown before, and passes curreit
as money by the consent of tho pjop'e. Mon
ey, like manure, is of uo me if never spread.
H o do nit want mtney to keep, wo want it
for use, and divide it up in am mnts to suit
all our purchasers of articles in different pla
ces. If metal money wero not used its abun
dance would .cause uo inflation, its scarcity
no distress. The PinlNh notion that God made
any motal of i-ut ror nf equal importance
tj the'ordinary pro I tots of 1 ib ir is false; that
the material for in ney in i-t be something
scarco and difficult to proe iro, is equally ab
surd. Th- 'nVrent vil'ij if m my, in tiio

almost untouched, and five dollars in paper
wjre represented by only two dollars iu coin
The amount of specio held in rfservo in 1SC9
did not exceol twenty cents to the dollar.
But every village wanted n bank for conveni
ence, the bankers floated all the paper money
possible, and thus uiado their living by eating
up their customers. A handfull of specio for
a bufbcl of bank bills, rented out to the nil

exchanging their productions for bank bills

that the amount of currency needed can nev

to affirm that twice six will make filly. Un
der such a system tliero nevor was or can bo
auy reliability. Fluctuations and speculations
aro tho direct results ; panics, disasters and
misery sure aud inevitable. So long as ev
erything is prosperous, and no ono asks for
gold every thing goes smooth ; but tho uio
ment any considerable number, thinking of
tho pos-ibihty of thoro being more papor
money than metal, rush to too who shall get
what gold tbero l, the thunder-clap of de
moralization and ruin occurs, whilo the bono
and sinew of libor and productions shoulder
the lossc. Bankers and inouey-lenders es
cape unharmed. Currency resting on a spo
cio basis Is fills, de1uivB, intolerable. Met
al money aud mixed enrrency combined, wero
a failure at almost tho commencement of tho
most disastrous war of modem times.

with confusion and filled the Houso with
laughter nt his expense. It Is too bad that
so benevolent a statesman ns Mr, Wright
should bo subjected to such a merciless ex
posure and mortification. This large-hearted
man desires to bcucfit the laboring classes
and he Introduced n bill to lend (on what
time aud terms we know not) $.100 to each
nnd every settler on tho public lands and to
continue doing this until the loans should
amount to $10,000,000. No doubt Mr.
Wright, when ho fixed this moderate limit
In bis bill to tho aggregate of these loans,
believed that his plan of benevolence and
agricultural development would become so
popular by the time the 810,000,000 should
bo exhausted that Congress would be glad
to grant nil the money necessary to continue
tho loans ad libitum el ad infinitum, lie
only wanted the $10,000,000 ns an entering
wedge, as it were, to the ultimate and sue
cessful opening of a grand scheme of colo
nizing the public domain and making happy
thousands nnd tens ol thousands of his fel
low citizens who nre now landless, penniless
nud unemployed, Who will say that this
was not a reasonable as well ns a very gen
erous nnd benevolent desire? No small
hearted man would or could have conceived
such a broad and magnificent scheme of
publin charity nnd political economy. Only
broad-chested, big-hearted man,like the geii'
tlcman from Luzerne, could have the capac
lty to devise such a plan for benefitting both
the workiugman and the country. And yet
we find men Iu Congress base enough to riif
iculo Mr. Wright and suggest that he should
make the proposed loans out of his own pock
et! They must take him for a Rothschild,
n John Howard and aGerritSmith nil rolled
into ono man and named Hendrick II.
Wright! Doubtless Mr. Wright would, If
ho could, loin evrry poor man In the coun
try de-irons nf settling upon the public land
tho sum nf fftOO ; but it is folly to talk of
any one man s lining this Only the general
Government rati nffud to lend so much mo
ney, and Mr. Wright, therefore, drafted a
bill re' iring the Government lo furnish the
capital to set up poor men in the farming
business. And he bus managed to get his
bill out of committee and before the House,
notwithstanding the fact that the committee
resolved not tn recommend it. This show
that Mr. Wright is as bold and adroit as he
is generous nud nenevnlent with the mo
ney of the Government Other members of
Congress and tin- blunted capitalists and
bondholders nf the country may jeer and
ridicule .Mr. Wright, but the workingmen of
Luzerne will appreciate his noble efforts in
behalf of their guild; and when the next
Congressional election comes 'rund they
will show what they think of their fearles
champion. They will re-elect him by a tre
mendous majority, and Mr. Wright will be
just as happy as though his bill had passed
the committee unanimously nnd both Houses
of Congress. His constitueuts will tak'
him at his word, aud will accept the will for
the deed. Then what will Wright care for
the ridicule of the rich or the contempt of
Congressmen ? They may call bim a king
among beggars, but he will be too proud to
bo a beggar among kings. lie will
walk back into Congress with n host of th
sons of honest toil at his back, and will be
sort of Jack Cade, or a Rienzi, or a Massani
cllo, or a village Hampden, "guiltless of his
country's blood." They laugh best who
laugh last, and Wright will bo ablo to laugli
lustily (in his sleeve) after the election. II

More .Mischief.
The bill which passed the lower branch
of tho State legislature on Wednesday, en
larging the criminal jurisdiction of magis
trates and justices of the peace to such an
extent that they may hear and determine
cases of larceny, assault and battery, mall
cious mischief and similar misdemeanors
with jury trials, is a very dangerous and oh
noxious piece of legislation. It trenches on
the province of the Quarter Sessions. It
doubles tho cost of, trying cacs over what
is charged in the Quarter Sessions. It al
lows extra compensation to constables, and
that to jurors will be sufficient to surround
the magistrates' courts with crowds of needy
hangers on. No provision is made for the
representation of tbe Commonwealth, and
prisoner may be brought before any magis
trato for trial, however remote from the
sceno of the offense.
The bar is unanimous against the ex
tension of tho jurisdiction of the magis
trates, and tho community deprecates it as
public calamity. The disposition of magis
trates to decide in favor of plaintiffs, or
those who bring them business, renders all
proceeding before them Incomplete aud un
satisfactory. Few or none ot them are
learned in the law. It is surprising that
bill, fraught with such evident mischief as
thisis.should find favor with the Legislature,
It is safe to say that two-thirds of all the
cases tried before magistrates are appealed
to higher courts and that they are almost in
variably reversed. Should the bill in ques
tion become a law It would greatly Increase
tbe business and expenses of the courts. Its
effect will bo to largely Increase the emolu
menU of magistrates and their dependents
and the judicial expenses of the city. Our
legislators manifest a remarkable readiness
to create new offices and to impose new
burdens on their constitueuts, nofwithstand
ing their protestations to tbe contrary,
1THI,
The Euroneau War.
London, May 1C, A telegram from Bat
ourq states that n concentration of 7,000
armed Mussulman Inhabitants of Lazlstan
In the Aedanatch district, lias compelled tbe
Russians tn retreat, and that the rapid gat!
ering of armed bands renders untcnaable
the Russian positions at .Livoua and ou the
Charuk river.
Advices from Hucbarest state that de
tachmenls of Russian reserves and recruits
continue to pass through Roumania for regi
nients In the field. Some of these men are
totally Ignorant of military drill, Traius of
ammunition are also passing to tho Dan
ube.
Tbe Russians are making additional con
tracts iu Roumania for transport carts and
auimals. It is fald that 3,000 more are or-
derest to be ready in two weeks for service
aju'h of the Danube.
Renewed activity prevails in the several
arsenals. Orders have been issued to the
factory al Kragujevata, to increase the pro
ductlon of Peabody-Martlnl ammunition to
tbe amount of 40,000 rounds per day. All
serviceable artillery In store has been or
dered to be mounted and sent immediately

Political Assessment!) and the Law.
We bavo bad again and again to point out
. . . -. , i, ..i
recently the fact that no law has any real
' ,. , . ,,, ' .
mean ng or effectlvo force unless.there U a
public opinion back of It powerful and
strong enough tn enforco It. There are
liquor laws Iu Pennsylvania which, If exe
cuted, would thoroughly regulate traffic In
lis deleterious nrllclo and close up most of
the low grndo rum shops. There aro Sunday
laws e.n tho statute book rigid enough to stop
all human activity on tho Sabbath nnd veil
e whole city In Judaic garb, but popular
opinion does not support them, and they nre
radically dead letters. To day we pre
sent a section of a United States act, being
portion of the Appropriation bill for 1877,
hich of course Is still iu fullforce.and which
ould seem to mako tho Issuing of any civil
service orders by the President, or the repeat
of them, immaterial. The existence of this
stntute.which is almost unknown to ho very
peoplo who aro clamoring nnd writing about
the evil of political assesments, shows that
this evil is something which reaches down
into society and below the politicians This
act provides "that all cxceullvo officers or
employes of tho United States not appoint
ed by tho President, with the ndvieo and
consent of the Senate, are prohibited from
requesting, giving to or receiving from any
ther officer or employee ot the Uovcrnment
any money or property or other thing ot
aliM fur political purposes ; nnd any such
officer or employee who shall offend against
the provisions of Ibis section shall be at once
llscharged from the service ol the United
States, and he shall atari bo deemed guilty of
a misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof
shall he fined in a sum not exceeding five
hundred dollars."
In view of this statute any Presidential
orders," one way or the other, seem rather
superojralory, and the remedy would appear
t J be in the courts. Press.
o Cleveland Herald is greatly alarmed
about the probability of tho Democrats con
trolling the next Houso at Washington, bo-
cause, with a Democratic Senate and House,
they would be certain to count in tlio
Democratic candidato for President,
whether elected or not. Of course tbey
will if they can, just as the Ilenublicans did
last titno and will do again if they
get the chance ; but if tiie Republicans could
count in Hayes against a popular majority of
half a million and a decided majority of tho
electoral votes, with a Hepublican Senate and
largely Deinocralio Home, why may not
the Democrats do tbo samo in 1881 with a
Democratic Senate, whether tho House Bliall
be Hepublican or not? The next Senate is
already assured to the Democrats by from
eight to a dozen majority, and as that body
has tho custody of Presidential election re
turns and disposes of them at will, it is no
mere phantom that now afflicts the Hepubli
can leaders when they look forward to the
Itb of March, 1881. Hepublican villainy lias
established tho fact that tho popular wilt may
be defined in t Ye selection of a national ruler,
and Democratic virtue must become more he
roic than it has been in the past, if it shall
fail to profit by the Hepublican precedent
Intead of mourning about a probable Dem-
cratio House, the Hepublican organs might
be much better employed in telling the hon
est truth about the last election, and demand
ing the legislation as will so clearly defino the
adjustment of electoral disputes that a repe
tition tf tlio monstrous fraud of 1876-7 shall
be impossible by any party, Honesty will
pay the best in the long run, and tliero can
be no more conclusive evidence of the fact
thau the insane sacrifice of Hepublican pow
er to Hepublican debaucbery. Times.
Shooting nt Emperor William.
A dispatch from Berlin says that at 3:30
Saturday aflernoon.as the Emperor William
was returning from a drive with the Grand
Duchess of Baden, two shots from a revol
ver were filed at him in the avenue Unter
den Linden, Nobody was hurt. The assas
sin ran into the middle avenue, followed by
a crowd. On an attempt being made to
capture him, be fired three shots and
then threw his revolver away. He was
then secured. The Emperor's carriage was
stopped, and tho footman sprang from the
box and assisted at the capture. A few
minutes nfterward another individual was
seized in the middle Bvenue, in consequence
of an alleged attempt to rescue the assassin,
Dense masses streamed in from the remotest
suburbs to manifest their loyalty and syra
patny, singing the national anthem. Th
Emperor went to the opera nnd Hoyal Tliea
iro mat nigui ami received great ova'
Hons.
At the official examination Hoedel, th
imsoiier, ueniea mat ne nred at the Emper
or, lie allirmed that he was without work
and intended to shoot himself publicly to
Bhow the rich the present condition of the
people. The prisoner was in possession ol
several socialistic and democratic writings,
tickets of membership of Beveral Berlin
socialistic unions, and the likenesses of 'tw
socialistic leaders.
A Closely Contested Case.
In 1802 the Locust Mountain Coal and Iron
Company leased to Joseph SI. Freck a right to
mine in the Ccntralia Basin, Columbia county,
for a period of ten years. The right only ex
tended to the fouth dipping veins in the basin,
and it was provided that the vein should not
be worked within 20 yards of tho eastern or
western limit of its run. In 1870 a lease was
made of the north dip of the same vein to Bob
erl Oorrell & Co. The two dips ran parallel
and converged below the surface in a elupe re
sembling Hie letter V. The apex of the V 1
termed by engineers the "synclinal axis,"
and was the dividing line of each lease. In
the course of his mining Mr. Freck run his
gangway over the axis and into the limits of
Oorrell & fjo.'s Itae, the consequence of which
was that as the latter drove his lennels he
struck into the Freck gangways and the water
drained ofT into the Cenlralia colliery the
name of Frcck's prendnes. When Freck's
lease expired the conipany.as laudlords.trought
suit against him for this trespass for damages
caused their properly by Iho running in of the
water from the Hoiledell or Oorrell colliery.
The cao was tried in Philadelphia in common
pleas court No. 3, and resulted in a verdict for
the company for $999. A new trial was sub
Krjuently granted, aud a fecond ory assessed
tho damages at $17,000. In the course of the
latter trial, which occupied eeyeral days, the
defendants, excepted to many points of evidence
oflered by the plaintiff and allowed by the
court, and presented numerous oInU to the
judge for his charge to the jury. The rulings
on these foruitd the alignments of error, which
wero forty-six In number, upon iho removal of
the suit to the supreme court for rovlew. In
general the point pressed In behilf of Mr. Freck
at tbo argument in the hlj her court may he
Haled thus i That If the evidence showed be
used the best scientific methods of mining, and
that the transgression over the dividing line
could not he foreseen and provided agalnst.then
the judgment In the lower court was erroneous
and that evidence to this end should havo gone
to the jury. Another point made was that the
company should have exercised Its power over
Gorrell k Co., who were Its tenants, to prevent
them from letting ihe water from their mine
turn Into Ihe Cenlralia mine. The decision of
the supreme r curt iiielain. (he correctness of
"'" 'f Mt and reverses the judg-
