liEi'UIILICAN AKGUMKSTS.
As the campaign progresses It becomes
more, ami more apparent that Andrew II.
1)111 li lending In tho Gubernatorial rnce.
And as this fact appears, the desperation of
tho Republican party Increases. They are
resorting to their old time mode of keeping
In olllce, by the free ctrtuiatlun of lles,all of
which have been completely refuted, many
of them too absurd to deserve much atten
tion. In tliU week's JlepMioan we find a
batch of their campaign arguments, furvtth.
cd for publication by their state committee,
and In order that our readers may know just
how bad a man our opponents would make
Dill out to be, we reproduce them.
Some of them contain the old, old, story
under the supposition that the war is still
raging, lty the way, It Is somewhat singular
with what tenacious memory the Btay at
home patriots of the Jlepuhlican remember
the bravo deeds of the war for the Union, all
of which, of course, were performed by re
publicans. Here is number 0110 :
To elect Dill governor means to give the
control of Pennsylvania to a party that threw
nil manner of hindrances into a "prosecution
of tho war and now proposes to reward the
south for their treason.
This is simply nonsense. Uow can the
election of Dill affect the southern policy ?
The first part is but the repetition of a six
teen year old lie. Again,
Dill iwas in a Djmocratic convention in
18GI that resolved that the xoutli could not
and nbould tint be constrained to keep In the
union by lorco olnrni".
Dill was not in the convention of 1SG1 and
there was no such resolution.
Again.
We are glad to learn that the offer of
Dill a Inenrts to provide railroad passes in
consideration that parties shall support him
for governor is trotted with the contempt it
deserves.
A shameless lie.
And finally
If the argument of some Methodist preach
era "that Dill should be supported by their
denomination nccause it would give tnem
influence at Harrisburg" is worth nnything
it also means that all other churches should
oppoe him for these very reasons, We don't
believe that the Methodist denomination
ran be influenced by such specious plcas.nor
do we thine this campaign is a church af
fair. None of Dill's, friends ate using the fact
that he is a Methodist to influence members
of that denomination to support him. In
a letter published recently Mr. Dill- himself
uses ului03t the exact words of the latter por
tion of this paragraph. His Methodism is
being used by his enemies and not by his
friends.
Qualifications of Voters.
Article VIII of the constitution defines
clearly who shall haro the right to vote, to
wit :
Every male citizen twenty-one years of age
or upwards who
First. Who shall have been a citizen of the
United States at least ono month that is.
who shall havo completed his naturalizatio u
at least one month before the election (on or
before October 5), or shall have been born in
the United States.
Second. Who shall havo resided within the
state at least ono year '. immediately preceding
the election ; but if having previously been
a qualified elector or native born citizen of
tho- state, he shall have removed therefrom
and returned, a six month's residence is suffi
cient
Third. lie shall have resided in tho elec
tion district where ho shall offer to vote at
least two months immediately preceding the
election.
Fourth. Ho must have paid a state or coun
ty tax within two years next preceding the
election, which shall hare been assessed at
least two months (on or before September 5)
and paid within one month (on or before Oc
tober 5) previous to tho election. It is not
essential J that this shall have been asmsed
within two years, but payment must have been
Inado within that time, at lea.t one month
before the election.
Fifth. Any nativo born or legally naturali
zed citizen between tho ages of twenty-one
and twenty-two years, being otherwise prop
erly qualified may vote without thopayiueut
of tax.
Sixth. For the purposo of voting no person
can gain a residence by reason of his presenco
or loso it by reason of his absence, whilo em
ployed in the services either civil or military
of this state or of the United States, nor
while engaged in tho navigation of the waters
of the stato or of the United States, or on the
high seas, nor while a student of any institu
tion of learning, nor whilo kept in auy poor
house or other usylutn at publio expense, nor
whilo confined in prison.
Seventh. All electors ar6 privileged from
arrest during their attendance ou elections and
in going to and returning therefrom, except

Eighth. No elector can ba deprived of tho
privilego of voting by reason of not being

Ninth. Any person offering in any manner
to bribe an elector or any elector who shall
receive or agree lo receive any reward or
promise for his vote, or for withholding his
vote shall thereby forfeit the right to vole at
such election. Any person challenged for
such offences shall bo rcquirud to linear or af
firm that tho chargo is untruo before his voto
shall be received.
Col. lloyt's Popularity.
The republican papers havo much to say
about Colonel lloyt's popularity at home, but
uro careful not to give figures. In 1 807 Gov
ernor G eary appointed him an additional law
judge for Luzerne county. Everybody knows
the disposition of many people without regard
to party to keep evn tolerably good judges
in olliee rather than risk untried ones, and
liow likely they are to reject really good ones
after trial, liuzerne, too, frequently elected
republicans to office. Here is tho vote at tho
election following lloyt's appointment ;
Dana, dcm. recoiveJ 9,174 votes.
Hoyt, rep. s,370 "
Dana's majority, 1,695
When Mr. Dill ran for olitical offices iu
republican distiictshe was iuvariably elected,
either carrying a uinjority or running very
closely, even iuhis owu county,which is large
ly republican. Had ho sought a judicial m
eition wo may fairly infer that no opposition
would have been tuado to him. Such is tho
contrast between tho two carididateadrawtiby
tho people their neighbors. Vatriot,
Ex-Slate Treasurer Uickel has published a
statement showing tho condition of his ac
counts when his term of offico expired, and
ulleging that ho knew nothing about tho

A Model National Nominee.
Tho Nationals of the Eleventh congres
sional district, composed of the counties of
Columbia, Montour, Carbon, Jtynroe, l'iko
mid part of luzcrno have nominated Edward
E. Orvls of Illoonnburg, as their caudidatu
for congress. Ho Is by profession a preacher
n lawyer, a politician, an editor, an offico
hunter and n temperance lecturer. He Is
now a man of fifty and has pursued nil
these occupations without much success dur
ing his manhood, and is at present following
all. lie Is an astuto controversialist, n fair
declalmcr, argumentative in form but usu
ally illogical, grave, cool, specious and some
what seductive. Ho Is upon the whole well
tutted for a "National" orator,
We believe Tioga county bears the honor
of his production. He was moulded Into a
milder type In Chester, aud afterwards fin
ished his classical education to fit him fr
the various professions ho has since pursued
In the counties of Clinton, Centre, Lycom
ing, Columbia, etc., and In various realms
and nationalities. Ho was n resident -of
Virginia previous to the rebellion and wearo
Informed espoused the confederate causo
with his usual dogmatic decision and de
termination. A few days previous to tho
fall of Richmond he managed to luduce But
ler to permit him to pass through the lines
and make his way north. After a brief so
journ in Wllliamsport as n lawyer-preacher-
politician he turned up In Nova Scotia as n
preacher-lawyer. He remained there for
some time but wether he became n subject of
Queen Victoria or swore allegiance to her
gracious majesty we are not informed. Tho
attractive forces of uaturo or something else
finally landed liitu in Ilenton and afterwards
in HWomsbnrg, Columbia county, where ho
industriously or otherwise pursued his mul
tiplied professions of lawyer, preacher, ed
itor, politician, olliee hunter, temperance
lecturer, and perhaps sundry others, more or
less. He was scarcely warm in Columbia
until ho demanded a nomination for con
gress at tho hands of the sterling democracy
of that county. But those people were ob
livious his merits, what ho had, were not
attractive to them and for some reason they
named somebody else with discouraging u
nanimity. But the propensity for office of our
legat-reverend.polltician friend was not to
be thus submerged if ho could help it. Bo
he offered for district attorney a position
of no large importance in the sturdy moral
community of democratic Columbia but
the perversity of democratic reasoning and
the hard horee sense of the democracy led
them almost unanimously to prefer a prom
ising young scion of the law, R.R. Little,
esq., who had just been admitted to practice,
anil again was the natural genius of our
friend of many occupations nnd divers faiths
remitted to the walks of private and involun
tary peace to scratch his way on bis own
hook. The case would now have been abso
lutely hopeless had not the charity-loving
"Nationals" (whatever that word means)
come to his relief. The effulgent genius so
long and so incontinently kept in tho far but
safe rear might forever and a day have been
lost to the world had not the great "Nation
al" party been born or somehow produced.
However all that may be, the "Nationals"
have boldly taken the field against the 8,000
democratic majority of the Eleventh con
gressional district, and that they niightnot
be accused of partiality for any particular
profession or aationality, they nominated
Mr. Edward E. Orvis as their candidate, who
is a preacher-lawyer-editor-politician-office
hunter-temperance - lecturer - license - Pcnn
sylvauia-Virginla-Canadian-YankeeCoufed
crate-Pennsylvanian whilom democrat and
whilom pretty much everything else that
anybody ever professed on the earth or be'
neath or above it. A marvelously proper
"National" candidate, indeed 1 As a can
didate for congress he stands about as much
chance of election as a cow would of reach
ing her destination if she attempted to rlimb
a crab-apple tree tail foremost. Patriot,
The Columbia county Democratic Convcn
tion, which convened at Bloomsburg, on
Tuesday of last week, did its work well. Com
posed as it was of tho leading and influential
Democrats of the county, it has placed an un
usually strong ticket in tho field a ticket that
will receive tho entire support of tho Democ
racy of that county and that will bo elected by
a handsome majority. AH the nominees are
men of irreproachable character, unswerving
integrity and will prove honest and trustwor
thy officials. Iu our humble opinion we doubt
whether a better or stronger ticket could have
been made.and we congratulate our Columbia
county friends upon their selections. Although
residing in an adjoining county and having no
voicoin the political affairs of the county in
which wo spent tho best years of our life, yet
wo watched with deep interest the announce
ments of candidates as published in the coun
ty orgau. Previous to the Convention th e
Weekly expressed its preferences for Con-
gross, state senator, rrotlionotary, Register
and Recorder, and it is with pleasure wo noto
the fact that all have received the nomination.
Tho selection of Hon. E. J. McIIenry for
Stato Senator is most opportune, and tho De
mocracy of Columbia county havo acted wise
ly iu putting forward a man whoso record is
untarnished, whosa ability is unquestioned
and whoso past expcrience'.in tho House emi
nently qualifies him for tho Senate. During
his career in tho Houso he was always at his
post nnd over watchful of the interests of his
constituents, and when important measures
were before that body, he did not occupy tho
timoin endeavoring to hinder legislation by
making bombastic speeches, but when tho
time had cotno for balloting ho was al
ways found voting upon tho right side. That
ho will bo the choice of tho coufcrees of tho
Twenty-fourth Senatorial District is witout a
doubt, from the fact that a better or moro fit
ting selection cannot bo made. lad. Weekly,

WASIIINUTON LETTER.
Washington, I). C, Aug. 27, 1878.
Mr. Potter's Committee adjourned on Sat
urday to meet at the call of the Chairman,
Tho New York 7Vmei says'lhoorlglnalShcr-
man letter said to have been written at the
dictation of Mrs. Jenks, sworn by Wtbcr
to have been destroyed, Is in the hands of
the Committee. Tho evidence of late has
been as to the Republican frauds of Louisi
ana, ami only confirms what everybody al
ready knows.
Much comment Is made on the fact that
Mr. Hayes commissioned ono Maxwell as a
Lieutenant In the Army nfter tho usual ex
amination had shown him to be Incompe
tent nnd public opinion had declared him
unfit for any place of responsibility. Max
well's few moi.ths of array life confirmed all
that had been said of him, and Mr. Hayes
has Just been compelled to approve the sen
tence of court-martial dismissing and im
prisoning him. This Is bad enough, but not
so bad as the appointments to civil positions
of rogues nnd swindlers, which has been the
dally habit of the Administration. It is
not so bad ns that, bscause Mr. Hayes secur
ed his nomination and much of his support
on the ground of civil and not military ser
vice reform.
Representative Charles Foster says the
Southern policy of Mr. Hayes is n failure.
He says, however, that no one would rejoice
more than Mr. Hayes In a Republican vic
tory this Fall. Such a victory means the
ultimate reversal of the Southern policy of
Mr. Hayes, nnd he must know it, for nine
Republicans In ten totally dissent from that
policy. Mr. Hayes has pretty plainly shown
that ho does not know just what he wants.
Persons writing here from very many Con
gressional districts, after the nominations
have been made, confirm previous reports of
probable Democratic gains. The nomina
tions generally aro well received, if wo may
credit the almost unanimous statements of
those who write to Democratic headquarters
here.
We are so far free from the fever, which
is desolating so many south-western cities,
and hope to escape, it altogether, as It has
not appeared in the Atlantic cities. Wash
ington's direct connection by wnter is with
Baltimore and Norfolk only, and if the dis
ease appears in either place the authorities
will establish a stnee quarantine. Many fam
ilies are leaving here for the north, however
preferring the discomforts of travel to the
possible dangers of disease.
It is said that the debt statement for An
gust will show a slight increase. In former
letters I called attention to the fact that
many legal claims, such as those for bounty
and pay of volunteer soldiers of the late
war, were being examined and approved in
regular course, and that payment was being
withheld so that a reduction of the debt
could be shown. That process is still going
on, and the fact that the Secretary, not
withstanding this dishonest refusal to pay,
is compelled to report an increase of the
debt, is significant. If he had paid the
other unquestioned liabilities of the Govern
mcnt as ho has paid interest on Goverment
bonds he could never have reported a dollar
of reduction of the debt.
Seminole
There has been a great deal of violent ex
pression indulged in regardingan honest and
trustworthy servant of Queen Victoria,
known the world over as John Brown. This
man is a quiet, sober, middle-aged and con
scientious body-servant of the Queen. He
goes where she goes, and where few, if any,
ofher other servants are permitted to go.
Why ? The majority of English servants,
from the palace to the plain residence in
England, are great sticklers about their pres
ent duties. The butler would see the kitch
en on fire and the cook the pantry flooded
before interfering in saving the property of
their employer, simply because it was not in
their department. John Brown Is above
such narrow prejudices. If her Majesty has
to go anywhere, have anything done, from a
cup of tea to the packing of a trunk, from
the selection of a horse to the purchasing of
a book, John Drown is always on hand,
ready, able aud willing to bound over all tbo
hardens of red tape and formal departments
and get and do these things or see that they
are done promptly and properly. In this
readiness and untiring attendance he has in
gratiated himself with the good Queen, who
fully values his honest energy and Integrity
and who has thus made him her favorite
gillie. He knows his place and keeps it.
He earns his pay and pockets It,
Governor Hampton, in a recent speech,
said the reasou the Republicans ot South
Carolina had not nominated a State ticket
was that they had not the manliness to in
dorse Hayes, aud that any other issue would
have beaten them at the polls worse than
they were before, and therefore they are try
ing the dodge of no nominations, in order to
excite Notbern sympathy into the belief that
they dare not make nominations.

The Field or Waterloo.
Bnussr.LLS, August 12th 1878.
Perhaps tho reason why tho field of Wat
erloo is so impressive is becauso thoro is
nothing to indicate the tcrrifio strifes nnd
mighty destinies that wero decided there.
Nothing but a huge bronze lion in whoso
month a bird hasWilt its nest. Tho visitor
stands alone in the midst of iottciitious mem
ories, uudistrnclod by tho inadequate monu
ments witli.which men have essayed to mark
leas important climaxes iu the affairs of na
tions. If "General Bonaparte," as the English
guides about Waterloo persist in calling him,
had been favored with the fino weather that
your correspondent had on his visit, ho would
havo openod tho engagement fivo hours car
licr.his artillery would not havo been stuck in
the mud, and ho would havo perhaps annihi
lated Wellington before tho Prussians camo to
his assistance. If the abundant harvest that
stands on the field to-day had been thcro
then, neithor army, even if they had been alt
cavalry, need have been encumbered or weak
ened by subsistenco or foraging trains.
No field could appear less favored by naturo
for vintage of contending armies. The slight
elevation occupied by the English was natu
rally no stronger than that, three quarters of
a mile distant, held by tho I'rcnch. Neither
elevation was high enough, nor was tho inter
vening or surrounding ground anywhere so
uneven as to prevent tho rapid easy move
ment, in any direction, of infantry, cavalry,
and artillery. Tho desperately contested
walled garden of Muemont was strong only
in tho fortitude of the men who held it.
Wo started from Drussclls at 9 a. m., tak
ing an excursion ticket for Braine 1' Allcnd,
which is the railway station nearest the field,
and only forty minute's ride from Belgium's
Capital. This is a cheaper, more comforta
ble, and much quicker way lo seo tho field
than tho mute ficqucntly taken by diligence
from Brus-ells. Arriving at Braine 1' Allend
wo started on foot for the Geld, and were soon
encountered by numbers of small biya with
pockets full of bullets which they were wil
ling to sell cheap. Genuine relics arc still
occasionally turned up by tho plow, they are
however, becoming very rare ; but tho sup
ply of bullets, scraps of shell, bullous, etc.,
in the hands of these little pedlars of the
field is neer exhausted. I met three women
who wero ab'e to carry on tho traffic in thico
languages ; each of them had a basket con
taining phot"graphio views of tho field, and
relics which they wore tryin to sell ; when J
expressed doubt of the gctiuiuencss of tin
relics, they Mattel ed mo by sayiii" I had uo
green iu my eye, and before I could recover
from the sweetness of that surpri-e, plied mo
witli their photographs. My friend bought a
bullet for f"ur cents, which ho dropped on
the field mid picked up again in order to make
it more plausible and interesting;.
Ihcre is a constant stream of visitors to
Waterloo. We met on top tho mound that
is surmounted by the bronze liou English,
Germans and Belgians, but more Americans
than of any other in ionahty. The number
of Americans traveling on the Continent this
year must be very large. I havo met them
on almost every train in France, Belgium,
Switzerland, Germany, Holland aud England.
They aro all more or less homesick. Tho
first qao-tions are wh'n did you arrive, and
when will you return ,? The general verdict
is; that Europe will do to visit but that it is
not a country to live in. Of course this is
nothing but tho old refrain of overy exile,
whether his native land be Alaska or Flori
da. "There is no place like homo," and he
must be a Bohemian iudced, who will not
sometimes long for the repose which no ono
can find amid strange unsympathetic faces,
and matiners, dress, customs ami ideas dif
ferent from tho.-e of his fathers But I think
there is something more than prejudice, and
mere love ot home, that makes Americans
prefer their own country. Else why is it
that our naturalized citizens, who have epent
their youth, or perhaps eailier manhood, on
this side, express the same scntimcut, are as
anxious to return to the new world, as tlnso
of us who have been but a few weeks in tho
old 7 It is becauso it is a New World, a
great and noble field for a rejuveuatcd human
ity. If a high protective tariff could havo
been loug ago imposed upon some of tho
manners, habits, institutions, laws, and ideas,
that have been imported from Europe we
would have had moro reason to admiio tho
wisdom of tho founders. But our country, in
spito of importations is so much freer and
fresher, our life aud aspirations so much
broader and higher that "ull Denmark is a
prison to him that thinks it so."
I began to write about Waterloo but got off
on an old refrain. I trust tho reader will par
don me fur not describing Hugcmout, the
road of Ohaiu and other points of this much
bewrittcn field, he will find them all in a his
tory or encyclopedia. Victor Hugo in his Les
Miscrablcs has written the best and most cha
otic description of the battle. Tho entire
field is uow covered with a denso ripe growth
of wheat, oats, and clover, while a bird has
built its nest iu the open mouth of the ram
pant lion with which the British have crown
ed the tumuli of their dead.

Sensible Decision.
Wo have often thought that the idea that
newspapers ought not to publish the particu
lars iu court cases before the trial came off,
for fear of '"prejudicing tho minds of men
who might bo called as jurors" was all non
sense, and wo aro glad to seo ourselves sus
tained by high authority iu this opinion. A
recent decision iu tho English law courts, in
volving the right of newspapers to report pro
ceedings that take place before magistrates iu
their preliminary and even ex parte hearings,
is Jof special concern to all publishers who
make it a point to furnish their readers with
the earliest intelligence of whatever transpires
of general public interest, whilst to the great
army of newspaper readers themselves who,
through the medium of the press, aro accus
tomed to keep themselves thoroughly posted
upou all matters which are introduced into
the editor's domain, tho chief justice's ruling
is oi equal interest. Tho case was ono in
which the plaintiff brought an action for 11
bel against u newspaper for publishing the
proceedings before a magistrate whero a suit
was brought against him to compel tho pay.
incut ot certain wuges alleged to be duo to
some employees of a railroad company of
which ho was a manager. I ho magistrate re
fused to act iu tho case fur want of jurisdic
tion ; but tho defendants published iu their
newspaper a reHirt of tho proceedings. The
plaintiff in the libel suit claimed that the
publication contained defamatory matter, and
that an action for libel would lie, for tho only
reason that the court had uo jurisdiction to
entertain the proceedings. Upon tho trial
tho court refused to entertain this view, and
as the jury found that tho statements publish
od were a fair report of what occurred, .the
Judgment should bo entered for the defend
ants. An appeal being luken this ruling was
einphutically sustained by Chief .Tust.ee Cock
burn, who in his opinion made the point (hat
tho publication of reports in newspapers
ouly enlarges the area of publicity given to
matters which justice requires should bo done
in open court, and to which it is to tio publio
advantage that publicity should be given..

The Ilaftman't Journal, of the 7tU Inst.
contains tho following comments of the fish
question :
A recent issue of the York Democrat says;
"Like the English sparrow, the black bass
is coming in for its share of public condem
nation. Tho people along the Susquehanna
and Juniata rivers say that with the excep
tion of the catfish aud eel, they will soon be
the only fish in those rivers. Everything
that wears a scale or sports a fin is legitimate
spoil for the voracious new comers. They
devour without rhyme or reason, and are
multiplying so rapidly that if the fish laws
are rigidly enforced, there will, in a tew
years hence, be a supply fully equal to any
reasonable demand."
"In the face of all this we can do no less
than pray for more boss, though they de.
vour the last sucker, chub or shad in the riv.
er. The bass we have In common with the
Columbian, but the shad he reserves for his
own benefit, under the protection of that
dam structure, and according to the corres
pondent they havo had better fishing than
for many years, and this since the Intro.
duction of bass. Please let us hear no more
down-tbe-river howls against the bass, for It
is a regular godsend to people living further
up."
Our enthusiastic contemporary of the Jour
nal is evidently ignorant of one important
feature in the habits of the bass namely that
their depredations are not confined alone to
the destruction of suckers chubs or shad,
but their voracious maws also gobble up the
young of their own species ; so that the fear
among practical fisherman Is not so much
that the bass will drive all other fish away,
but that they themselves will ultimately
become extinct, leaving us no fish at all.

A yer'8 Cathartic Piixs are the best of all purga

laborlo"s,and successful chemical Investigation, and
their extensive use, by physicians In their practice,
and by all civilized nations, prove them the best and
most effectual pill that medical science can devise.
Being purely vegetable no harm can arise from their
use. In intrinsic value and curative powers no oth
er pills can be compared with them, and every per
son, knowing their virtues, will employ them when
needed. They keep the system In perfect order,
and maintain In healthy action the whole macbln.
ery of life. Mild, searching and effectual, they are
specially adapted to the needs ot the digestive ap
paratus, derangements of which they prevent and
cure, it timely taken. They are the b st and safest
physic to employ for weakened constitutions, where
a mild, but effectual cathartio Is required.

DYSPEPSIA IDYSPEPSIAIOYSPEPSIAI
Dyspepsia Is the most perplexing of all human ali
ments, UBsjmptotns are almost Infinite In their
variety, and tbo forlorn and despondent victims of
the disease often fancy tbemselVeB the prey, in turn
of every known malady. This Is due In part to the
close sympathy which exists between the stomach
and tho brain, and In part also to the fact that any
disturbance of tbe digestive function necessarily
disorders the liver, the bowels and the nervous sys
tem, and affects, to some extent, the quality ot the
blood.
