HON'. WARREN J. WOODWARD DYING.
A dispatch to tho l'hiladelphia Times from
Heading, dated August 24th states that a tel
egram received from a daughter of Judge
Woodward, who is with her father at his
country place, Hampden, Delaware county,
N. Y., hastily summoned Warren Woodward,
a son, to his father's bedside, as little hope
was entertained for his life. Judge Stitzcl,
who is Judge Woodward's representative in
business affairs in this city, aluo received a
telegram from tho same source to come on
immediately, and he at once departed by the
Brat train. The opinion is entertained that
the Judge cannot recover, and tho news of
his alarming condition has awakened a feel
ing of great sympathy in this community,
where a high opinion of the Judge h enter
tained. His private residence, en .North
Sixth tired, this city, is closed. Telegrams
were at onco font to Wayne county, where
he was burn in 1820, and to Wilkcsbarrc,
where ho was admitted to tho bar in 1812.
Ho practiced law there fourteen years, and
when Columbia, Sullivan and Wyoming coun
ties were erected into a separate Judicial dis
trict by the Legislature, Governor Pollock
appointed Air. Woodward President Judge
upon tho unanimous recommendation of tho
people of tho district, and in October of the
fame year, 1S5G, he was unanimously elected.
In 1661, ho was elected by a largo majority
President J udge of the Berks district. After
serving ten yean lie was unanimously renom
inated in 1871 without opposition and elected
by tho Democratic party by another large
majority. Ho remained on tho bench of
Berks until nominated at Pittsburg for the
Supremo bench a few years ago.
It is with deep regret that the people of
Columbia bear tins news, and we can only
hopo that the danger i not so critical as rep
resented.
A l'ctty Autocrat and Villain Combined.
Tho De Young who shot Mr. Kalloch
could blackguard himself; but could not
staud being blackguarded lu return. Kvery
one despises the cowardly boy who is for
ward in throw stones and then whimpers
when a stone thrown back at him happens
to bit.
liut lia any one thought of tho supreme
arrogance of this fellow De Young in the
message which he sent to Mr. Kalloch?
That seems to have been lost sight of. He
demanded of Mr. Kalloch that he should
withdraw from the candidacy for Mayor 1
Just as If lu this free country any man was
to be deprived from the privilege of run
ning for office ?
This demand of De Young was impudent
and pieposterous. If any party in Califor
nia are represented by men with no more
enso and no moro intelligence than this
De Young has exhibited, they can hardly
expect anything but defeat, Sun.
We are glad that the Iiradford Argut ap
preciates our editorial efforts,but they might
have more value if duly credited.

THE I'ALH'OUNIA STYLE.
On Saturday lait Cliarlcx Do Young.ono of
the cdiloisof tho Chronicle dclil'Oralcly shot
Rev Isaac S Kalloch, tho Workinguien's
candidato for Mayor of San Francisco.
Tho c;iucs which led to the affair nrothcfo:
After Kalloch's nomination tor Mayor by the
Working Men, tho Chronicle, which is tho
organ of tho 'Honorable llilks' partv, attack
ed him without incaure, and republished,
among other thing.", the story of his 'unsa
vory record in Hoslon, many years ago.
Nut content with this tho Chronicle attacked
ilia reputation of his dead fallier, who was
also a minister. Kalloch retorted on tho Do
Youngs, in a speech at a public meeting ol
Working Men, on Friday night, by assailing
tho reputation of their aged mother, and
promising to rcpublisi in tho Open fatter an
iufainous article against her and them from a
disrcputablo paper, which had a brief exis
tence in San Francisco fivo years ogo. On
Saturday morning Charles Do Young drove
in a coupe to tho Metropolitan Church, sent
a message to tho minister that a gentleman
wished to sco him, and when Kalloch reach
ed the door of tho vehicle, fired at hliu twice.
Ono bullet penetrated Kalloch's lung, tho
other struck him in the thigh, inflicting sc
riou, if not fatal, wounds. Tho carriage
containing Do Young was then about to drivo
away when a ciowd gathered nnd overturned
tho vehicle. They a-s-aultcl Do Young and
a policeman, and nttcmpted to lynch the
former, but two other policemen coming up,
rescued hini from tho mob and ho was placed in
tho police station at tho City Hall. Tho
news of tho shooting caused intenso excito
mcnt among tho Working Men throughout
the city, and for several hours a serious riot
was threatened, but the militia were got ready
for tho emergency, and this fact with the
moderate counsels of xoinc the leaders of the
Working Men, expressed at a Sand Lot
meeting, prevented a riot. A demonstration,
howover, was made upon the Chronicle office,
and II. De Young, brother of Charles, was
locked up, at his own request, in the station
liouso with bis brother. In reply to n tele
gram from Geneial McCoinb, commanding
tlio State troops in San Francisco, Secretary
McCrary telegraphed to Colonel McAllister,
commanding the Iienicia Arsenal, authorizing
him to issuo 00,000 cartridges to tho Stato of
California. Dennis Kearney, who was in
Vallojo, was telegrayhed to, and arrived in
San Francisco on Saturday evening. lie ad
dressed a Sand Lot meeting, Jcoun
selling bis hearers against violence,
and predicting a victory for their party at the
coming election, after which Do Young should
be punished. A son of Rev. Mr. Kalloch al
so addressed the meeting and advised that
tho law bo allowed to take it course. Mr.
Kalloch remained in a critical condition, dur
ing tho first night, after the shooting but his
physicians now have somo hopes of his re
covery. Meetings ot Working Men, to ex
press sympathy for Kalloch and denounce
his antagonists, woro held in New York and
Chicago.
STAND UP MR. WICKERS1IAM AND AN
SWER I
Is it any wonder that tax-payers complain
of the heavy burdens of taxation imposed
upon them, only to have the money rquand
ered, without benefit to themselves, but to
enrich a few public leeches ns witness the
following taken from nn exchange :
''During the last fiscal year, ending with
December, 1878, Hon. James Pyle Wicker
sham, LL. D., drew out of the State Treas
ury $28,920 ; for salary, clerk hire, contin
gent expenses, &c., for the School and Sol
diers' Orphan Department, of which he is
Superintendent. This is $3,2G3 more than
he states in his official report. Have not
the tax-payers of Pennsylvania a right to
ask what became of these $3,2G3 ? He draws
$2,000 for contingent expenses,among which
are included express charges, &c. Why is
it that others in addition also draw hun
dreds of dollars for delivering School Re
ports? The tax-payers have a right to
know this.
The Act of May 8, 1850, requires the
Superintendent of Public Instruction to
publish in the ScioolJournal, free of charge,
his current decisions, together with all offi
cial circulars, Sc. Now, why is it that the
Superintendent of Public Instruction draws
from the State Treasury, every year, f2,000
for publishing and circulating the official
decisions and instructions of the department?
The tax payers have an unquestioned right
to know who pockets these $2,000, drawn
contrary to law. Twenty-eight thousiud,
nine hundred and twenty-five dollars 1 Giv
ing each of his ten clerks, assistants, See.,
twelve hundred dollars which in these times
is a big salary ior a clerk, leaves a net bal
ance In favor of the chief of sixteen thou
sand dollars for bis salary, incidentals, pub
lishing of decisions, &c. In additiou the
income from the School Journal with its lu
crative advertising and subscription depart
ment, netting four or five thousand dollars
more, makes a grand total of twenty thou
sand dollars. Deductlug from this tho inci
dental expenses which are not paid twice,
and the neat little sum of twelve to fourteen
thousand remains. Colorado and California
are, forsooth, not the only localities where
Bonanzas are made. They are even bled out
"of the veins of the tax-payers of Pennsylva
nia." The South Alrican War.

For somo timo past and at present Our
couuty has been and is flooded with book
agents. They aro paid for their work and
expect to earn their wages. Their calling is
ni honorable in any other, but tho trmptn
tion fur Illegitimate practices is unusually
r-(rnn, and tho piofits of the business Inu.'t
be inordinate to pay for current expenses. In
tho first place two directors could transact tho
butincss of a ditrict as woll as six. Their
duties are not as aiduous as those of Supervi
sots, or directors nf the poor.
lu tho second place thero is no tnoro necess
ity for a Couuty Superintendent of tlio schools,
than thcro is for ono for Itoad or Poor pur
poses. Tho wisdom of tho avcrago school director
has become provcibial. His cyo recognizes
by a mysterious instinct a good book when he
sees it afar; and his judgment, reason and
tastoaro all of a piece with his cyo. Ho re
Raids this as an intensely progressive age, in
fact an ago of book-ology, and proceeds to in
troduce to his weak, ignorant, and less gift
ed constituents tho new books that his sagaci
ty discovers in pliccs whero common people
would never havo looked for thorn j namely,
under the arms of the most gcuteel book
agents that over (dis) graced our mundano
sphere In fact this director purchases ail
tho new books theso beHevolent agents bring
out, in order to verify his first impressions.
Our reason for thinking so is tlio fact that
this director is in possession of tho books ;
they coustituto in many instances tho most
valuable part of his library. An investiga
tion puts him in shape to master tho strong
points.
Ho sees in the now speller vast improve
ments on the old one ; iu tlio new history
(even it published so long ago as 1813 a i
Goodrich) details moro pathetic, and facts
moro interesting than graco tho pages of the
one in use. Ho commits to memory a few
lines with which to illustrate theso views.
'Pocliahoutas, now scarcely
twelve years of ago rushed forward with a
shriek and throw herself between tho unhap
py stranger and tho executioner. Her hair
was loose and her eyes were wild nnd stream
ing with tears,' Sco -Goodrick, page 41.
Tho above remarks the reader will observe
treat tho subject in tho abstract, and aro not
not supposed to havo any 'reference to allu
sions,' as the boy say.
That book agents give away books for
votes is one of their open secrets ; that somo
of them do not attempt to urge their books on
merit is knowu to somo of our own school offi
cials. It entails a burdensome expense ; it
interrupts the grading of our schools ; it
renders the teaching for tho next term less
effective, and is beneficial only to book makers
and book-agents. In this instance we em
phatically hold that the agents glory is the
director's shame.
Not only this but other bribes aro icsorted
to, and accepted. Wo could name tho men
but refrain for tho present, because even ed
itors iu this county have beconio paid agents.
Legislative bribery.
Judge Pearson talked pointedly and per
tinently to the Dauphin county grand jury
on Monday in regard to the law on legisla
tive bribery of which the famous Keinbleef
al. cases will be laid before this grand in
quest. If the members of it heed the in
structions l this wise and honest court the
public will not realize the misapprehensions
of a miscarriage of justico in these rases
that had been feared from tho presence on
the grand jury of the Cameron henchman
Sam Barr. Judge Pearson properly called
their attention to this sort of bribery as "a
crime which strikes almost at the founda
tions of society because, instead of having
fair honest, proper legislation according to
the best discretion and judgment of the
legislators, we are to have them bought
over to vote for measures or vote against
measures which the public require or which
are injurious to the public, either the one
or the other.'
Then, after quoting the constitution and
the statutes on the subject, as they have
been published in tho Intelligencer, he in
structed them that to ju-tify a return of any
one accused of this ollense 'all that is nec
essary to be pioved is the simple fact that
they solicited a member of the Legislature
to vote lu a particular way under a prom
ise of procuring money for them or offering
to give them mo-.ey, telling them where
they could get money or they could have
money, by doiug so and so they could re
ceive such and such articles.' And he furth
er told them that if this was developed in
their inquiries concerning others than those
formally Indicted lliey should present all
implicated. It' the evidence before the
grand and pi tit juries in this court should
be like that given before the legislative
committee wo can uot see how Kerable and
his associate roosters and the tainted legis
lators can save their feathers from clie con
suming fire ol Judge Pearson's judgment.
At the same time ho admonished the jurors
not to be Influenced by newspaper discus
sion nor misled by poliiie.il leeling nor re
ports of previous evaluations, hut to walk
in a straight line, swerving neither to the
right nor left. I.iucatter Intelligencer,
Ono of the Washington Post's private de
tectives has obtained possession of the letter
written by lawyer Shellabarger to John
Sherman in relatiou to the Cazanave mat
ter. The letter reads as follows :
Washington, August 13, 1879. My Dear
Secretary : The $000 you sent me I have sent
to Badger. I still hold the $1,000 sent me
by the Presi lent. He reports collusion and
fraud. What shall I do 1
Samuel SiiEM.AiiAitaEn.
This letter proves that Mr. Hayes, afier
refusing to listen to Cdzanave's request, be
came alarmed nt the threat of the latter to
expose the secrets of the Louisiana returning
board and came down with a contribution
of a thousand dollars. Uowever,having slept
on the matter ho rued the bargain and in
vented an excuse for getting back his mon
ey, which was that Cazanave had conspired
with the attorneys for the returning board to
bilk tho administration out of $0,000. But
when lawyer Shellabarger informed Caza
nave that Mr. Hayes claimed that he had
been informed by a detective that there was
"fraud and collusion" in the matter, the des
perate returning boarder raged and stormed,
and Mr. Hayes' backbone weakened again.
The upshot of the matter was that the $1,-
000 sent to Shellabarger from the White
House was sent to New Orleans to be paid
upon tho judgment ugalnst Cazanave, Now
if Mr. Hayes had the faith of an honest man
in the integrity of his title, ho would hardly
have suffered Cazanave to wring this large
sum of money from him under the threat of
exposing the secrets of the returning board.

I'OSEK VICIOnV l'Oni'.SllADOWEI).
Tho Democratic State Committee has is
sued the follonlhg address :
To inn Demociiacv of Pennsyi.avnia s
Yon are attain called upon to maintain tlio
Integrity of democratic principles, and, by
your uctlou nnd votc, tstablUh their su
premacy In the state. The history nnd re
cord of the party in all past time has been
consistent, and its lores mis always ucen
expended In defense of the rights of tho
citizen guaranteed to him by tho organic
law ol tlio land,
lour lealtv to the narlv Is not the result
of subserviency to the dictates of nny one
man or set of inen.but rests upon conviction,
that Its pulley nnd principles, when fully
carried out, have over contributed to tho
prosperity nnd material wealth of thn state.
To this end it has invariably resisted tho en
croachments of political power directed
ngalnt the rights of personal liberty nnd
property. It Is a fundamental principle
of the democratic parly, that the majority
shall rule that tho will of the people, fairly
and freely expressed at tho polls, Is tho su
premo law nf the land, nnd should be main
tained at all hazard", nnd that any attempt
to set aside that will, so declared, is a crime
against the state, and Fubvcrsivoof the rights
ot tho individuals constituting it. To estab
lish a government baed upon this princi
ple cost the bet blood of the patriots of tho
revolution, nnd base nnd degenerato would
be their children If ever they should permit
it to be impaired. Tho highest privilege
that can bo exercised by n freeman is the
right of the elective franchise; its enjoyment
is Becured to him by the bill of rights, which
declares that "elections shall be free nnd
equal j and no power, civil or military, shall
at any lime interfere to prevent the free ex
ercise of the right of suffrage." In the ex
ercise of this right, the elector is a sover
eignity a tame submission to any encroach
ment upon it would speedily hasten n condi
tion of servitude. In the exercise of the
electivo franchise, all are placed upon the
same level, without regard to the conditions
of life or fortune. The poorest voter, in the
use of this privilege, wields a power equal
to that of the richest and most powerful in
tho state. Tho ballot makes them equal.and
its importance is of no greater value to one
than to the other, and hence in the perfect
security of its free exercise to every voter
rests the permnnency of our system of self
government. To its free and untrammeled
enjoyment the democratic party pledges its
unfaltering support. Under republican rule
this guaranteed right to every citizen has
beeu flagrantly violated, not only in this.but
in other states of the union. But it was the
heroic devotion of the democratic party in
the last Congress that reaffirmed and parti
oily restored the right of the elector to a free
ballot.
That was not a contest for political su
premacy, but a struggle for a lost right, and
accomplished for the people what In other
times could not have been gained without
an appeal to arms.
In this state, for years you have submitted
to the rule of the republican party, nnd
not only by intimidation and fraud have
electoro been deprived of their suffrage, but
in more than one instance you have been
disfranchised, the legitimate, honest, vote of
the state Having been counted out. More man
one state official has held bis office against
the honestly polled vote of the people. In
the city ot Philadelphia it is notorious that
the most flagrant outrages have been perpe
trated unon the electors, bv repeaters, ballot-
box etuffers, and tho paid minions!" of the
national government, anu the rignt to n iree
ballot has been tramnled unon within the
shadow of Independence hall, whero the
spirit of liberty was first given birth. I
think I mistake not the temper of the dem
ocratic party now, in that, they will not
again tamely submit to such nn invasion of
their rights, but in the approaching election
they will see to it that there shall not only
be n free ballot but nn honest count.
Other elements, equally dangerous to the
rights of the citizens and the prosperity of
the commonwealth, exist.
The republican party for years has been
in the ktenlnc of an organized ring, that
generously has relieved the masses of the
parly from tho responsibility of taking any
active part in its management. It has or
ganized its state conventions, selected and
nominated candidates for high political po
sitions, and appointed senators to represent
Pennsylvania in the senate of the United
states, ued the power of the lobby to con
trol Important legislation, and by the potent
influence of money nnd position, ils baleful
influence has found its way Into every fibre
of our political sy-lcm. Whenever it be
came necesnry to accomplish a puniose, its
power was r eis'ible. It pervaded every
department of the state government, nnd in
the bouse and senate were found its efficient
representatives In the lobby it was omi
potent. Tho treasury was regarded as the
object of legitimate plunder, and the repre
sentatives of the people as the mere instru
ments to give legal form to robbery. The
most iniquitous measures were conceived
and executed. The sentence of political
death, with nit reprieve, was imposed on any
adherent who hesitated to carry out the de
cree of the ring, nnd his place filled by a
more pliant and supple tool. In the name
of loyalty tho state was plundered. The pub
lic works costing the people millions, were
given away, nnd the treasury depleted by
the repeal oithe tonnage tax, JNew othces
were created with immense emoluments and
a long tenure, to which they unhesitatingly
appointed themselves, Corporations de-
manueuot the legislature extraordinary priv
ileges thy were freely granted and in the
exercise of unwarranted power, threatened
the existence ot individual enterprise, and.
indeed, to rise paramount to constitutional
authority. The republican party was in the
grasp of the ring, and the ring became, nnd
is, the republican party.
It is true that corporations with carefully
guarded nowers are necessary to carrv out
great enterprise, but in granting privileges
superior to those enjoyed by the individual,
tlio greatest vigilance should be exercised by
the legislature, otherwise as all experience
proves, having onco entered the field of spec
ial nilvilege, their rapacity knows no limit
and they become enginrs of oppression,
crushing out every interest but their own.
gathering wliere they nave not strewn, and
reaping where they have not sown, Recent
ly this grasping tendency of corporate pow
er has been displayed in the great oil regions
of thn state.
This wonderful natural development has
attracted there immense capital, the neces
sary and legitimate result of which has been
to add largely to the material wealth of the
commonwealth. There the wildest field for
individual enterprise has been opened.
Thousands of the activo men, the business
men, the live men of the country, of physi
cal and intellectual energy, have been drawn
to this centre. To foster and encourage this
interest by proper and protective legislation,
that the producer may reap the legitimate
fruit of his labor and capital, should bo the
first care of the commonwealth, and yet, we
are assured by thn appeals comiug from the
people of that region, that the great carry
ing corporations in their discrimination
against the producer and transporter have
so paralvzed the enterprise of individuals as
to mako them their servants, 'tho hewers of
wood and the drawers ol water.
For theso wrongs they must hold respon
sible the republican party, which has been
In full possession of the executive and leg
islative branches of tho government.
To correct these and many other griev
ances, and the more effectually to guard the
approaches of corrupt influence upon mem
bers of the legislature, a new constitution
was demanded. The ring Influence of tbe
republican party arrayed itself in opposition
to the proposed reforms but the people,
aroused to a sense of its importance, carried
the proposition by an overwhelmlpg major
ity. The new constitution was adopted.
The most stringent provisions were incor
porated in it to curb the encroachment of
unwarranted corporate power, and seeming
ly impassible barriers raised to prevent the
approaches of corrupt influence upon tho
representatives of the people. The people
felt safe In Its apparent protection, but how
vain and futile were their hopes. Charter
ed monopolies refused to submit to its re
quirements, and the poisonous influence of
tbe lobby again tound Ils way Into the balls
of legislation, To the ring combinations in
the date the constitution was but a rope of
sand. Of this tho proof is beforo the poopte
In the recent attempt of tho master spirits
of tlio ring, those who nrc recognized lenders
in the republican party, and who control Its
conventions and nominate Its ticket, to de
bauch the members In the last legislature in
tho nltcmpt to pass the ?l,000,00() riot bill,
is glaring evidence beforo the people, and
must convince every one not blinded by
party prejudice that nothing but tbo uttir
exclusion of this Influence, and those whom
they may dictate as candidates for official
position, will save tho fair faino of tbo com
monwealth and place the revenues of the
peoplo beyond tho reach of organized politi
cal corruption.
Hitherto the enemies of the honest ad
ministration lot tlio government wcro in
sidious in their approaches to the treasury,
but emboldened with long success with im
punity, nud the maguittido of the prize in
their recent attempt upon It, they lost their
usual caution and henco investigation has
d'sclosed the actors the ruling spirits In
the iniquity, Somo men have been con
demned In the body ol which they were mem
bers nndjolhers await their trial before a le
gal tribunal. Manifestly tho days of the
political power of the ring in Pennsylvania
are drawing to n close.
The democratic party occupies no uncer
tain position upon this question, but has
pieced itself on, record boloro the people, in
tho lato convention, in the following decided
resolution:
"Tenth. That the recent attempt, under
tlio personaitiirectlons ot ruling, republican
leaders. to ilr-hanrh tin tntrUlntnrA bv whole
sale bribery and corruption, and take from
the Commonwealth four millions of dollars
for which its 1 ability has never been asccr
talned, is n fresh and alarming evidence of
coporate power in collusion with political
rings, anu should receive the signal con
demnation of tho people at tho poll'."
But what altitude does tho republleaulpar
ty, through its leader, occunv on this lead
ing, vital question of whether fraud or hon
esty shall be the rule of the State ? It Is n
fact, aud one which every honest republican
must admit, that the leaders and controllers
of tho late convention nt Harrlsburg, by
their action compel him as a member of the
party virtually to endorso bribery nnd cor
ruption, and to declare that he will not have
honest men in office. There is for him no es
cape from the position in which to repudiate
their action by voting against the candidate
they have selected. A distinguished repub
lican, struggling for his political life with
the ring, put the question now fairly before
that convention by offering the lollowing
resolution :
"That in view of tho developments of
corrupt practices in connection witn too
riot bill in the last house, we emphatically
reaffirm that part of the platform adopted
by the republican state convention at Lan
caster in 1870, and which was adopted by
the republican state convention at Hnrris
burg in 187C, which demands "honest men
in office men with brains enough to know
dishonesty when they see it and courage
enough to light it wheresoever they lind it.'
This resolution was rejected. The pre
sentation of it. it is manifest, was antici
pated, and the result shows that the parties
in interest were fully prepared to meet the
issue. It was predetermined that no action
of that convention should in any way reflect
upon or condemn the corrupt practices and
means used to procure the passage of that
bill, but on the contrary that the convention
should be compelled to extenuate rather than
condemn. To this end tho machinery of
the convention must be seized. To prevent
the Introduction of a resolution of this
character, and to deny it even the grace of
being read, parliamentary law must bo
stricken down. Failing in this, to guard
against the possibility of a minority report
which would develop tbe iniquity and spread
it oeiore tne people, a rignt, tne rule anu
practio of which is recognized in nil con
ventions, must be trampled upon. How
well they accomplished their work is wnttei
in the proceedings of that convention, aud
is oeiore tiiepeople lortuelrsober judgment
Mr. Barr. the candidate of tho democrat
ic party, stands squarely on the principles
declared in the platform adopted by the con
vention, He is the representative of no
interest or set of men, He was nominated
by the united voice of the party; his record
is before you clean and unsullied; his com
petency is beyond dispute; he is a candidate
for tbe most responsible office in the state,
and has given a pledge in convention, to
the people, that no other candidate ever
did beforo :
"Hesoh-ed, That in D. O. Barr, this day
dominated for state treasurer, we present a
candidate entitled to the confidence of the
people; and who, if elected, will keep the
puDiic money saieiy , mate unown us places
of deposit, hold his books and papers open
to inspection, nnd preserve the common
wealth from any repetition of the systematic
embezzlements ot interest and other spolia
tions which marked the long aud scandalous
career or tne republican treasury ring, '
This is the character of the candidate.
and the pledge for tbe fidelity of his trust,
that we confidently submit to the people as
the custodian oi tneir greatest mterest, the
revenues oi mo state.
These are tho issues and they aio worthy of
your serious consideration. They involve tho
economy aud honest administration of tlio
state government. They aro of vital impor
tance to you, as a citizen, a voter and a Penn
sylvanian. Their proper determination and
direction rests alone with you. Tho republi
can party in tlio full and absoluto possession
of the national government, in a period of
profound peace, of bountiful harvests, of un
usual development of our natural resources,
by the dishonesty of those in official position,
by reckless legislation and by general misrule,
brought upon the country bankruptcy and
financial ruin which spread Jliko a pall over
the land. Its oppressive influence was felt
in every home, and it brought sadness to
many a fireside. A universal cry of distress
aud for relief went up from tho people. The
appeal was unswered by tho democratic party
and through all theso years of depression, of
widespread financial distress, of tbe prostra
tion of trade, it has grown into strength. As
yet, without tho power to eradicate tho evils
the republican party has inflicted upon tho
country, the democracy stands as a breakwater
to resist tho tido of corruption, of extrava
gance aud lraud, republican mal-admiuistra-tions
have imposed upon us.
Through tho devotion of tho democratic
party to tlio welfare of the wbolo people, and
its sturdy resistance to impeudiug evils, tho
country is now emerging Iroui tho cloud of
financial gloom that has so long huug over it,
and the sunlight of prosperity is again begin
ning to shine upon us.
Will you now tako a stop backward, or
inspired by what has been accomplished in
the past, and in the hope of a future, will
you not go to tho polls at tho approaching
election, determined that this revolution of
reform shall continuo until the principles aud
policy of the democratic party shall become
the rule in Pennsylvania.
llemcmbcr, democrats, that one victory
foreshadows another, aud therefore, iu view
of all these circumstances which so materially
affect tho interests and welfare ot tho Com
monwealth, let it not bo forgotten that this
contest is n prelude to that great struggle in
which it will be imperative upon tho Ameri
can peoplo to again decide whether unlawfully
enthroned corruption shall continue to perpe
trate the appendant evils naturally connected
therewith; or whether tho peoplo .of this
great touutry shall ogain arise aud through
their protector, tho democratic party, in a
mightier voico than ever beforo demand that
their constitutional rights and privileges,
handed down to them by tho founders of
this government, shall once moro be restored
to them iu their original perfection, liy
order of tho state committee.
Geo. W. Miller, Chairmsn.
Pawmville, St. Jo. Co. Miciiiuak,
For the readers of the 'Columuian' :
Wcro we living in tlio timo of 'Kneas' wo
might very appropriately, remark, belioviug
ly too, that 'the Fates aro smiling very pro
pitiously upon us,' and so it would seem. Dur
ing a drivo of over twenty miles through prairie
land andopeniugs, I could participate with tbo
sturdy 'tillers of tho noil" iu their manifestation
of a quiet exuberance of joy iu consequence
of tlio many encouraging prospects presented
to them upon (very hand.
Tho oats crop was gathered in good condi
tion and promises a bountiful yield. I havo
learned that tho crop is moro extensivo this
season than any previous to it, this is owing to
tho fact that tho favorito cereal for food for
stock is corn, though tho latter is being sup
planted by tho former. The shrill whistlos
of the steamers aro heard iu every ditcctlon
tclliug us that the thrashing is 'progressing
rapidly. Tho wheat crop as was onlicipatcd
is yielding abundantly, oyen beyond tho ex
pectations of most parties, and to tho satis-
I nctlon of tho most greedy producer ol that
article I tliink it would bo safo to say that
the avcrago yield in Park township will reach
2" bushels per aero. Ono man of our acquain
tance thrashed part onus crop showing him
an avcrago of 30 bushel) per aero, others havo
thrashed at the rato of 30 bushels per aero.
Some of the over expeditious havo found
somo difficulty in preserving tho wheat after
it has been garnered. This week some was
shown mo tint was altogether unfit for Hour-
ingaud scarcely fit for tlio coatsest auimal food.
As is true of tho adngo 'the moro basto tho
loss speed' wo might say tho mora desiro tho
less profit. Somo of tho thrashers appear to
possess prodigiom facilities for tho execution
of rapid, as well as elDcient work: wo havo
reports of somo days summing up from 10 to
12 bundled bushels of clean wheat this with
a force of fifteen men. At present the 'Mint
Stills' aro being operated day aud nigiit. I
learn fiom somo of tho growers of pepper
mint, that tho yield ranges from 15 to 20 lbs
per aero this decrcaso from last years yield
is attributable, they Say, to tho woik of tlio
grasshopper on the stalk and leaf J they aro
supposed to open tho pores wheuco tho oil
evaporates : what shall bo the remedy ? Par-
i-grecn for tlio potato vine, capcicum for the
cabbage, but what for tho mint stalks. Mr.
Solomon Sterner, formerly a resident of Sott
township or Briarcrcck, believes himself to
havo discovered a process for purifying the
oil of peppermint, producing from the im
pure articlo ono of superior quality ; this
promises to be of great valuo to tho 'Mint
Oil Dealers,' should it prove satisfactorily a
success. As near as I can lcaru Michigan
produces 10 per cent, of all tho peppermint
oil of tlio U. S. Corn is looking exceeding
ly well, better in prospect, it is said, than for
years.
Wo havo beeu enjoying some delightfully
cool weather during tlio past week, some fears
aro enteitaincd that wo may bo visited by
frost cro tlio usual timo us has been tho case
in some of tho moro northern districts during
the past ten days. Me thinks that such pros
pects as the present aro doubly duo tho peo
ple of this our beautiful southern Michigan, a
people constituting happy households, of
stalwart frames and honest hearts, character
ised by tiur patriotism and domestic affection
as well, and who merit high esteem for their
untiring efforts in the advancement of every
branch of industry to whicli they have been
successfully and successively contributed.

.Shaming the Devil.
Mr. Hayes, and all who have eaten of the
biead of this administration, must have
their seasons when that diet sits, with great
discomfort on their stomachs. To say noth
iug of conscience, which may be an absent
factor, it must be harrowing to know how
many convicted villains, little and great,
can rise up at any timo and taunt them
with the great fraud of 1870. Surely no
man and no party ever paid so high a price
for the privilege of committing a bold rob
bery.
The appearance of Returning Board
Casanave, of Louisiana, in Washington
must impress these thoughts upon Mr,
Hayes and his associates. Casanave, the
least disreputable member of tbe Louisi
ana Returning Board, and the only one of
that gang of thieves who had nny property,
finds himself pressed by the Sheriff on a
judgment note for counsel fees for defend
ing the Returning Board in its criminal
prosecution. Wells, Anderson and Kenner,
each of whom has a lucrative placo under
the Government, with snug berths for his
family, refuse to pay n dollar, and they
have nothing to lay bold of. These fellows
had told Casanave that the necessary
money would be sent from Washington
In his extremity Casanave hurried to
Washington to appeal to the men who are
enjoying the fruits of tho Returning Board
rascality. His laborious search for a little
of this administration's golden fleeco is
well related by the Washington correspon
dent of tho Times.
Did the administration indignantly dpny
that it was in nny way responsible for the
Returning Board and its scrapes? Did Mr,
Hayes or Mr, Sherman kick Casauavo out
of his office? Not exactly. Mr. Sherman
was willing to give a hundred dollars on
sight. Sir. Hayes, in the exuberance of
his gratitude, advised Casanave to go back
to New Orleans and see Anderson. Messrs.
Shellabarger nnd Wilson, attorneys for tbe
administration, moved by Casanave's threats
to expose the inside of the Returning Board
rascaiity, took the matter in band and,
after a good deal of backing and filling,
raised $1700, whicli was sufficient to secure
a stay of proceedings until January.
Casanave complains bitterly of his treat
ment at the hands oi this administration,
which he is free to say he helped to make,
though he is now satisfied that he thus be
came a party to a great national wrong.
Casanave sees all the other villains reward
ed, and himself left lamenting with a sher
iff on his back. He declares that tho only
thing he has ever received from Mr. Hayes
was a sandwich and a cup of coffee, and
that was at John Sherman s expense. Cnsa
nave recalls that in 1S7G an Ohio man, who
knew Hayes well, told him that "Hayes
was only a third-rate lawyer nnd the damn
edest fraud and hypocrite living" an opin
ion in which Casauave says he can now
heartily concur.
But the thing which most pains Casanave
is a discovery made while be was in Wash
ington by that interesting young person,
Webb Hayes, who learned that Casanave's
claim was a piece of " fraud and collusion."
" I may be able to stand the loss of my
property;" says Casanave, " but to be
charged with fraud and collusion by this
administration ought to shame the devil."
The country will find it easy to agree with
Mr. Casanave, who has had the mlsiortune
to serve as cheap and mean and ungrateful
a set of scoundrels as ever tapped n till.
