Society must be protected, and therefore it
is necessary that criminals should be punish

the people isiar more important than money.
Dot in cases where society at large is not in

and when the motive for the prosecution is I
personal enmity, people should be slow about
bringing such cases to Court. Much valua-

the uourt and jurors in trying them, and all

POOR IIARTRANFT.
This late aspirant for the Presidency.
hat just vacated the Extcutive Cbalr, and
the boys whom he had heretofore aided are
now trying to place hit where he can do
the most good. The plea Is that he is Im
pecunious. Let us see. During tho war he
received the pay of a General with all the
usual commutations, and every soldier
knows that in the actual service there is no
necessity or excuse for extravagance Kor
six years he was Auditor General of the
State at asalarr of about $5,000, a year, say
$30,000 for the two terms, and besides had
atnplo tlmo to superintend his magnificent
farm and blooded stock In Montgomery
County, lie was then twice elected Gover
nor, and held that position fur six years at
an annual salary of $10,000, besides a mag
nificent residence and furniture, making 1
$60,000, more. At tho close ol bis term he
was appointed Mtjnr General of the Slate
Guird, a position he kept open for himself
while Governor. He then roosted In Phila
delphia, that Mecca ot rlngsters, and has
been appointed and confirmed as Post Mas
ter of that City at a salary of $4500. But
Col. MrClure and other friends Insist that
ho should be Philadelphia's next ShcrlfT.and
the main argument is his alleged poverty.
In the first place the people are not obliged
to support political paupers forever. Again,
if llartranft, out of such large salarles,could
not save something for bimselr', he is not a
safe man to trust with the affairs ol others.
The tact is that be prostituted his official
position to dabble in fancy stocks, and his
losses, if any, aro the result of that species
of gambling. In proof of this we submit
the following letter :

A LETTER TO TI1K VESTRY or 8T' JOHN'S
CIIURcn, IIEIiliEfONTE.
Oentlemcn .'In obedienci to the request
of your Hector, I take great pleasure In stat
ing to you through him, more fully the
reasons upon which Iho Protest against di
viding our diocese is based.
lucre may perhaps be oilier reasons than
those hero mentioned, which may suggest
ihemstlvts to the minds of well-informed
laymen. With duo deference to tbe opinions
of those who have slg'.ed the Memorial, and
tho reasons which they had for so doing, I
beg leave to lay before you tho following
considerations upon which your signatures
are asked to the Protest.
(1.) One of the chief reasons for division
given by Dr. llopklnsla his printed letter
to Ulshop Howe In March 1877, is thit : tho
increased revenues which would necessarily
have to como from both tho old diocese and
the now, should dlvl Ion take place. Tbo
old would be Increasingly taxed to mako up
for tbe lo"s of the new : and tho new would
of course be thrown entirely iion its own re
sources lor the support of the Uishop, the
Convention, and the missionary work. The
principal point Dr. Hopkins discusses in his
letter is "the unvarying law of increase both in
the old diocese and in the new, ip every case
of sub-division."
Uut hp might also have said that tjiis law
.of Increase is based upon a deeper and more
universal law the taw of uecetsily ; a new
diocese being obliged to make provision tor
Its own Ilishop and Convention, and to sus
tain its own missionary cuterprises. Where
there is sufficient assurance, in the number
and wealth of the parishes In a proposed
new diocese, that the Church work will be
carried on with increased etficlency, Iho for
malion of such diocese will uudouttedly be
found a great beoeht. But while sub-divis'
ion works well up to a certain point, wheu
it passes tbat point, it entails burdens which
ought not to be laid on parishes. The ques
tion is : Has' not Pennsylvania been suf
ficiently sub-divided until such time as, im
der the respective administrations of ihe pre'
ent diocee', the Church in this State becomes
strong enough to warrant further division
(2.) To prove that tho erection of the
Convocation of Wllliamsport into a separato
diocese, would not strengthen the Church
within' its limits, unless the parishes are
prepared to more than double their offerings
let me refer you to the last report of the
treasurer of the Board of Missions. There
are in this Convocation, fifteen parishes and
missionary stations, recoiving aid from the
Board ot Diocesau Missions. The treasurer's
report tells us that $1800.00 were appropria
txl fur the support of these parishes and
statious, and that only $78J 23, were con
tributed for missions by the Convocation of
Williamsport, so tbat we have received
for the support of our missions during
the past year, $1010.72;orr than we have
paid into the treaturu of the Board.
To say nothing of wcreajino- our mission
ary enterprises under the proposed new dio
cese, aro our parishes in a condition to mako
up tho deficit of $1010.72 to keep the mitsioiv
ary work on ii present footing t What would
be the benefit of more Episcopal supervision
wiinnui more money to bestow up
on our missionary work 7 Are vie prepared
to relinquish the liberal appropriation of the
Board of Missions oi the old diocese, and to
raise tbe large amount within our own Con
vccatlon.which has hitherto come to us from
without?
In tbs increase of Church membership
and in tbe formation of new parishes is it
not true tbat the support of tbe Missionaries
is of more importance than the frequency of
Episcopal visitations?
(3 ) It is proposed to make the new Bish
op, the Rector, of Christ Church Williams
port. Of course he would need an assistant;
and au assistant who would be acceptable to
the parish and equal to the position, would
be no ordinary man. Upon him would fall
most of tbe Sunday work, as the diocese at
large would be justly entitled to the Bishop's
services on tbat day. It is but fair to sup
pose that a suitable olergymau to act as the
Bishop's assistant and to do the work of the
parish as it is now done, could not be had
without a handsome salary scarcely less
than $2000 00 and a house, which is the
compensation of the present distinguished
Rector. Would not then thp Bishop's sup
port necessarily have to come from the oar-
ishes of the new diocese? Our share of tbe
Episcopal fund would hardly give him more
than a residence. The law of necessity would
again show its supremacy unless the Bishop
would oe left with a meagre support, which
I am sure, no one would wish to see. Th
fact that with tbe combined efforts of the
whole diocese, the treasury for tbe support
of our present Bishop and Convention, is
now overdrawn to the amount of $1120.00
certainly goes to show that tbe parishes cau
not bear a heavier demand than tbe present:
and yet this whole movement for division
contemplates largely increased demands.
With a slight change, the old nioverb mav
ou forcibly applied to this, as well as to oth
er matters : "Money makes a diocese so.'
but unless we are prepared to give the moo'
ey, it would be suicidal policy to divide and
set up for ourselves. I believe ia small dio
ceses when they are financially possible, but
not before.
(4.) At the Convocation at Lock Haven
in the Spring of 1877, when Dr. Hopkins
first made the proposition to set up the Con
vocation of Wllliamsport as a separate dio
cese, he was opposed by every clerical and
lay delegate, except his owu. and there was
a larger attendance than at Williamsport.
rrecueiy tne same arguments thou so forci
bly advanced against division, hold (rood now.
It was not even attempted to show at tbe
late meeting in Williamsport in what re
spects we had become more mature for dl
vision. Financial troubles have increased
since then and wo are only now beginning
w nope ior belter times.
Ibis is a matter which touches the laity
... .... . r
iar more intimately than it does the Clergy,
It is to be regretted tbat not a single lay del
egate was present at Williamsport when this
matter came up for action. The Memorial
was adopted by but Ave Clergymen who rep
resented self-supporting parishes, and by
our. ir wuo represented missionary par
nes. uoe who signed tbe Memorial had
just resigned his' parish, and six self-sup
porting panenes were not represented by
eiiner clerical or lay delegates. The repre
sentatives of two self-suppoTtiug parishes
and of two missionary parishes voted sgVnst
the Memorial ; so tbat only five out of thir-
teen self-supporting parishes, and only our
out of eight missionary parishes were repre
sented oy meignaturrs to the Memorial.
Full and free discussion on this matter
should be bad wow,- for when division has
once been accomplished it will be too late
tolameptit. Let us not commit ourselves
unwittingly in favor of division, but decide
either against or inavor of It, only after ma
ture deliberation. If we do not stand by
our convictions now, we must not depend on
others who subsequently bave a voice in the
matter, to save us from the results of our
own Inaction or folly as tbe case may be.
iinpinir that vou mav enma tn ln.

the Master's Kingdom.
I remain, very truly Ae. '

Mr. Tildcn's denial of all responsibility for
or knowlcdgo of tho incriminating cipher
telegrams is certainly as broad, explicit and
comprehensive as his friends could hope for
or his enemies demand, it is as thoroughly
consistent with hit political antecedents as it
is with his disclaimer on tho tamo subject
published somo months ago. It leaves no
room for (ho most captious to chargo him
with equivocation or mental reservation. His
testimony shows that he never authorised
any ono to hold out any venal Inducement to
secure for him tho presidency, and that just as
Kxin as ho learned of any probability that
such inducements wuro being held ou by
thoso who might bo supposed to act with his
authority bo put a stop to them. Tho nego
ttations began without his knowledge, failed
only because ho rciuscd to give them aid or
countenanco and becauso emphatically and
with a rcbuko lie recalled Ins nephew from a
mission which had lien undertaken without
his knowledge. Moio than this no mm could
do to keep his ekirls and conscience clean i
as much, we venture to say, few men, under
tho tame circumstances, would have done. It
is because Mr. Til len had it in his power to
win the preidcncy by corrupt means and did
no(, (hit ho emerges from this investigation
and throws off this cipher telegram calumny
stronger thau bclore.
in its stylo his statement beforo tho com
mittco is characterized by tho satno felicity
and strength of diction which havo command1
cd so often for his political utterances great
popular weight. Thcro is a dramalio intensi
ty and comnrchensivo reach about this pas-
sago which well commands not only the
ephemeral "applauso" of thoso who heard it
but will produce a deep impression on tho
mind of tho whole country :
"To 'the people who, as I believe, elected
mo president of tho United States ; to tho
four millions and a quarter of citizens who
gave mo their suffrages, I pwo duty, service
and every lionororahlo sacrifice, but not a sur
render of one jot or tittle of my sense of right
or personal self respect. Whatever tho dis
appointment to those who voted for me,what
ever the public consequences of suffering the
subversion of tho elective system by which
aln -,0 lrco government sell government can
be carried on, by whatever casuistry a differ
ent course might havo been advocated or de
fended, I was resolved if there was to be an
auction of tho chitf magistracy of tho na
tion I would not bo one of Ihe bidders."
In this statement ho has been supported at
every point, contradicted at none ; and what
ever other consideratiom may prevail in the
selection of tho next Democrat io candidate
for the presidency, and it may be considered
as finally so' tied that thcro will bo no fear of
taking Mr. Tilden up again because oi any
doubt in tho publio mind that he went through
and came out of the ordeal of 1876-77 with
his personal honor uasmirched.
But Mr. Tild.'n rises to the full stature of
his dnty as tho assailed Democratic candidate,
when in answer to tbe opportunity given him
he grasps and analyses the standard of politi
cal probity presented to him and measures
his opponents by it:
"I declare before Qod and my country that
it is my entire belief that the votes and cer
tificates of Florida, South Carolina and Lou
islana were bought ; and that tbe presiden
cy was controlled by their purchase
I scorned to attempt to secure my rights and
title by such mrans as were required to ac
quire felonious possession. Pelton did not
act rightly. He may be tried ; he may be
condemned. Public opinion may "punish
him. At the same time, even that fault
is to be judged of according to th? facts, ac
cording to times, according to what was be
ing done. His act was an inchoate offense
On the other side, the act that was done was
an accomplished and consummated wrone,
It built up a possession of the presidency of
the United States to the man who was not
elected, and tbe representatives and champl
ons of that condition of things are the men
whoie consciences arc troubled with the in
choate wrong doing of Peltou which '.
cruhed out In tho bud."
How vividly he contrasts his own conduct
with that of Hayes I He stopped and
crushed out the inchoate wrong of Pelton
attempted at most forarighteous end. Hayes
aided, abetted and profited by the consum
mated wrong of his agents, and now in the
full light ol their guilt becomes a particept
criminU by showering upon them the re
wards of his official patronage.
Not a vestige of responsibility for wrong
doing in the elector il matter can be traced
home to the Democratic candidates or na
tional committee ; while the flagrant guilt
of the Chandlers and Camerons and Mack
eys and Sroughtons is fairly intensified in
tbe publio estimation by the suspicious facts
tbat the evidences of their guilt were select-
ed'with such studious care from the mass
of telegrams and burned with such impetu
ous haste. Lancaster Intelligencer.

grange ha beeu a success, and continues
prosperous and wherever you find it other
wise, you will Invariably fiod that these im
portant matters have beeu neglected. And
herein lies the whole secret of one grange
oemg a success and another not. Orange
Aavocaic.
The Pennsylvania Legislature managed to
pass one hill Cosily durlag the first month
of tbe session, at a cost of about 176,000 to
the people oi tbe State ; and vet it is doubt.
ed whether some bills of the future, wbish
will be passed much more promptly, may
not cost the Treasury many tinea as atuch.
Legislation is Due of the costly luxuries of
popular government. JTmrs, i
The RoWhb Caie-Th Hepiibticana Respon -
sivle,
By far the boldest and most gigantic rob
bery that has ever been perpetrated upon
this government was tho system of public
plunder carried on by Robcsoii and his ac
complices in the Navy Department during
almost the entire term of Grant's Adminis
tration Ofber and great rascalities there
were In various departments of the publio
service. Other scoundrels stole publio funds
aggregating an Immense amount, but Robe
son and his fellows (made tho Navy Depart
ment the scene of such bold nud stupendous
plundering as.lcss Audacious men In other
branches of the service could only admire,
as they lacked the courage to attempt formi
dable competition for the championship.
In any other civilized government on earth
tile author of such crimes as marked the of
ficial life of George M. Robeson would have
been confined to penal servitude for life.
But this man is selected rs tbe recipient ol
special favors from the party which he has
disgraced. The voto In the house last Mon
day clearly demonstrates that the Republi
can members of that body have deliberately
decided to shield and defend Robeson,
It is well understood that ono object of the
Republicans In rallying to defend Robeson
is to shield him from indictment. On the
8th tlay of March the statute of limitation
will intervene between bim and tho outraged
law. By staying off action till tho close of
the season the Republicans of tbo House
will savo him from well-merlled punishment
and preserve him for continued use as n pil
lar of their party.
With Robeson's accomplices the case Is
different. Tho Btatute of limitation will not
save them from trial by courts martial.
Robeson seeks to sneak out and leave his
pals to their fate. This" is tho sort of strug
gle that is going on iu the House, where
the "party of great moral Ideas" is throwing
itself between avenging Justice and a man
who has robbed the public Treasury of more
money than all the thieves in Sing Sing
ever stole. This may seem harsh, but it Is
literally true. This man, who is a Repub
lican Congressman-elect, and whom tbe Re
publicans of tbe House are saving from
prosecution, towers over all the convicted
thieves iu our penitentiaries as the Ken
tucky giant looms above Oen. Mite.
No party that ever appealed to the voter
of this country for support has ever dared
place itself in so degrading a position as tho
Republican party, when It plants Itself as a
barrier to hold backjustlce from this brazen
faced robber and his companions in crimo.
