PHtUvv, Fob. arcl. 1883.
It is nutta nnnnront that tlio Hon .tin.
eph Scrniiton ling becotno wenry of con-
i i ., . . i .
gicHsioimi nonors, or inni no pretcrmi in
tho matter of tlio Wilkcshnrru post ollico
n liresent stroko of revengo to tlio doubt
ful chances of tho political future. In
1880 when ho was elected tho voto stood
Scranton, 10,455; Connolly, democrat,
10.918! Writxht. itiiiciiondeiit. 1.171s
leaving him in a minority of upwards of
1,500. Hut Hendrick II. Wright is dead,
so mat ttio cliauco ot a division is great
ly diminished and all Wilkealnrro is in
dignant over tho now postmaster. It is
plain that Scranton docs not want to go
oacK 10 congress. 1'atriol.
Mr. Punch onco said that railway
collisions would be averted only by
chaining a bishop or a director to tho
front of tho cniiiuc. Now that a Sen
ntor and tho owner of a sleeping coach
lino has actually been sacrificed ns a
burnt offering to tho error of heating
Ins owu cars with stoves filled with live
coals, let us hope that his fate, sad as it
was, will serve to compel tho proprietors
of all railroads to heat their vehicles
with steam furnished by tlio locomotive
alone. If so, a great public disaster and
pnvato sorrow will Bocttro a uonelicoiit
improvement in tho end.
There has been a sharp fight over the
winces mrro post-otlice, Uongressman
Scranton pressing the claims of Albert
S. Orr, and a largo number of prominent
ciuzens,inclU(lin;rliigli btato olhciais,sup
porting Douglass Smith the present in
cumbent. What mado the utrugglo tho
more exciting was tho lact that tiover
nor Hoyt was warmly in favor of Mr,
Smith and it was claimed that ho could
Bccuro his rotention. Scranton won tho
battlo however and Mr. Orr has been
nominated and confirmed. This ends
tho fight for the.prescnt, but thero is
much bitterness of feeling over the mat
ter and it is more than probable that tho
results will be seen at tlio next election
Scranton will certainly bo defeated fo
re-eiection ana win bo succeeded by
Democrat. Somo of the Republicans of
Wilke3 Barro who have fought Mr
Smith may live to repent their action.
ouitkH
As might have been expected, tho as
sassin lias not been silenced by lus con
viction. and has issued an address nro
testing against the verdict, appealing
for money and avowing that "God will
vindicato him if the nation rolls in blood.'
There is absolutely no limit to tho
scoundrel's effrontery. Next Friday is
fixed for the argument for a new trial.
Tho reasons assigned by Mr. Scovillo are
not thought to bo weighty. It is alleged
that a newspaper containing criticisms
adverse to Omteau had been found in
tho jury room, bearing tho signatures of
several jurors, These gentlemen deny
that any such paper-was in the room and
it is believed tho signatures arc clover
forgeries. Tho jury will bo present at
tho argument on Friday.
A BOOM Fu'lMVuLVKUTON.
The IJloomsburg Columbian and Clinton
Democrat indorse with great heartiness the
notion of making Hon. S. P. Wolvcrton, of
Northumberland county, the next democratic
candidate for governor. Now n man might
think, and think, how to better such a candi
dacy without arriving at a conclusion. It is
not easy to llnd better men than Mr. AVolver
ton. 1'liila. Record.
True, indeed. Mr. Wolvcrton would
hi in all respects, an unexceptionable
caudidato who would havo no political
or other "erookedncaj" to explain, and
who is bound to no ring or clique. Ho
is able, honest aud incorruptible and
would administer the affairs of the Stato
in the interest of tho people and not of
tho politicians. Such men are rare, and
the Democrats aro to bo congratulated if
thoy can secure Mr. Wolvcrton as a
standard bearer. If tho Stato is ever to
bo redeemed from Republican rule, it
will bo under tho leadership of suoh a
man as S. P. Wolvcrton. Wo aro earn
est in our advocacy of his claims, becauso
years of personal acqiiaiutniico have
crystalized our beliefs into absolute con
victions of his merits.
CONGKESS.
In tho Senate on Friday last Mr. Win
dom and a fow othor Republicans voted
with tho Democrats to amend Mr. Sher
man's Funding bill so as to make the
bonds redeemable at any timo at tlio
pleasure of tho Government Mr. Sher
man was defeated on ovcry motion.
Among bills introduced was ono by Mr.
Logan requiring tho National Board of
Health lo supply vaccine matter to all
persons at cost; also ono by Mr, Ed
muuds to punUh the counterfeiting in
this country of securities of foreign Gov
ernments. In tho Houso an Apportion
ment bill fixing tho membership at !I20
was reported; also tho Post Office Appro
priation bill. On Monday, tho Alabama
claims and Geneva award bill was ro
, ported favorably, in tho Senate. In tho
llouso Mr. Robinson of Now York
amused tho members by a spread-eagle
speech on Irish affairs. An important
bill providing for tho return of lapsed
grants ot lands to railroads and their
sale to establish an iduoational fund for
tho several stut".s was introduced and
referred to tho judiciary committee.
Tho Senate on Tuoiday discussed tho
Sherman threo per cent bond bill, re
jecting tho Vest amendment. Thu
House indulged in a heated debate over
a resolution requesting tho President to
furnish tho names of American citizens
confined in English prisons. It was
finally referred to tho judiciary commit
tee. Tho annual post routo bill was re
ported mid passed.
THE IjEaiSLATIVBKKCORDJUH.
Tlio report of tho State treasurer shows
that thero was paid out ot tho treasury
from December 1st 1880 to November
UOth 1881, for tho publication of tho
Legislative- Record tho sum of 82!),851..
40. it is UKeiy mat no man wouiu ou
ject tho odd dollars and cents, but tho
12!), 000 is a clear steal from tlio pockets
of tho people, which is permitted by tho
laws ot tho Commonwealth. Tho Jlecord
U of no earthly use to anybody but tho
members of tho Legislature who, when
a candidato for roelcction, refora to its
pages to show his constituents how ho
Voted ou certain bills. It U useless, bo
causo it does not make its nppcarnuco
until weeks ami often months aftor thu
transactions recorded in iti becauso it is
not ft truthful record of tho manner in
which tho publiu business is conducted,
tlio lifts of ens aud nays being mado up
according to tho whims of tho clerk who
calls tho roll, absent inemborH or thoso
not voting nl nil, being mndo to voto for
that nido of tho bill under consideration,
which needs them in order lo carry or
lefeat tlio measure as tho clerk desires.
It is useless becauso it does not reach tho
people generally, but only a favored fow,
and it is not woith tho money tho Stato
pays for it becauso no ono realizes more
than two cents a pound on it, for wasto
paper Thero is an opportunity ncro lor

unanimous in its denunciation of this
swindle and it is in tho hand of thu poo-

plo to put a stop to it. no iar ns mis
cott'ity is concerned tho nominating
convention should pass a resolution in
strticting its candidates for tho assembly
to oppose in every honorablo way tho
continuancoof this expensive publication.
If tho Democratic party would bo wnat
it professes to be, tho party ot rciorin,
it must tnko tho initiative in matters
needing reformation.
NEEDS MOSEY.
Mr. Gcorgo Scovillo, Ctulteau's lawyer,
has reached tlii conclusion long since
attained by everybody elso that lie lias
dono as much thankless and unremutier-
ativo work for tlio assassin as is his duty
llo declines to proceed further in tho
matter unless funds aro forthcoming and
lias issued an address m which ho aysj
"If inv fellow citizens, few or many.
think that tlio interests of justice, the
causo of liutnanitv, or tho honor of tho
country require that this contest be tiro
longed to secure a verdict and iiidg
mcnt after passion shall havo subsided m
tho public mind, let them manifest it by
providing means, and competent counsel
will bo secured at once. I ask nothing
for myself up to this time, but for tho
reasons stated, cannot givo my own ser
vices lierealter without compensation
At least two thousand dollars is needed
Should a sufficient amount not bo receiv
ed, tho money will bo refunded on ro
quest." Tho verdict of the iury has
been received with suoh general approval
that it is oxtremely doubtful whether
Mr. Scovillo's appeal will bo met witl
pecuniary responses. Ho has had a dif
ficult and distasteful task to perform and
is entitled to a certain amount ot sympa
thy, but it is not likely that any lurtlicr
efforts to prolong tho assassin'3 life will
bo sustained.
THE liUIIK-SHOT WAR.
Tho following article was written by
our townsman Col. J. G. Freeze, and
published in a recent issue of the Amer
ican liegister:
Tho people of the United States have
had considerable experience in tho polit
ical methods in tavor with that party in
tho country boasting itself by tho name
ot "total wart. The name is said to have
been invented by iur. isiaine, but his
mental grip was altogether too weak to
keep possession of his own bantling. It
was stolen from him by tho ";J0G,""and
made the slogan of the faction thoy repre
sented. What it might havo become in
the hands of Mr. Blaino is of no moment;
it is enough that it suited his antagonists
in his own party to the cxtremest nicety.
Tho very name seems to embody the
idea of the bayonet and blood and
plunder of a parly pushing forward to
tho possession of power regardless of the
legality or morality of tho methods em
ployed. When wo hear it pronounced
wo think of how Grant carried elections
by means of the military; how ho organ
ized legislatures by ordering a body of
soldiers to obstruct the door of tho state
house; how ho declared elections and
sustained tho carpet-bagger in ollico by
the power of the army of the United
States; how these military methods' were
extended to Philadelphia and to New
York, and lion the governors of those
States protested against marshals and
Davcnpoits in vain.
Thus promptly seized by tho "300," as
being of tho very essence of their policy,
in their hands the word "stalwart inent
political death to all Republicans who
refused to bow the knee to that band of
politicl aassassins,onoof whom,havingthc
courage of his opinions, perpetrated the
death, personal as well as political, of
the President of the United States, and
avowing himself a "stalwart of tho stal
warts," proclaimed a "stalwart" to bo the
Presidential successor.
And it is true, that in this "lottery of
assassination," tho "stalwarts" aro draw
ing all tho prizes. Public liluiidcrcrif
within the magic circle, are not in dauger
of tho law. Rebel repudiatiomsts aro
assisted by that public plunder in tho
corruption of tho needy voter. Tho
money power of tho country is bid for
in the message of the stalwart President.
The defeated candidates comu to Wash
ington seeking recognition from tho
Government, having failed of it before
the people. Thus all the worst elements
in tho country aro buying tickets in this
"lottery of assassination. For it is on
tho surface of political manipulation that
tho stalwarts aro to rule, and to rulo by
stalwart men aud methods. Tho face of
tho dead Garfield is turned to tho wall,
even before tho stalwart assassin has paid
tho penalty of his crime.
Is anybody surprised af tho rapidity
of these changes and tho quiet determin
ation with which these projects are car
ried forward? There is no occasion for
tho surprise. These men camo legiti
mately by their political faith and their
political methods. More than forty years
ago tho Stato of Pennsylvania was tho
theatre of an attempt to set aside an
election by tho people, and to erect a
government by tho military power. A
weak old man by tho name of Joseph
Ritncr was tho political puppet in the
hands of such bold stalwart conspirators
as Thaddeus Stoveii", Thomas II. Bur
rowes, Charles B. Penrose, Thcophilus
Fenn, William B. Weed and others for
tho overthrow of tho Stato government.
It was a desperate Btrugglo of desperate
men to retain power. Ritner was gov
ernor, Stevens was canal commisioncr,
Burrowes was secretary of tho common
wealth, Penroso was tho speaker of tho
dofunet senate, Fcnn was editor and
publisher of tlio Ritner organ, and I Seed
was attorney general.
In tho election of 18118, David R
Porter was chosen to ho governor, nnd
tho amended constitution had been car-
lied by tho people; tho latter by about
1,200 and Governor Porter by about
5,000 majority. Notwithstanding that
tho returns showed these results, on tho
13th of October, 1838, an address "To
tho friends of Joseph Ritner," was issued
by Thomas II. Bunowes, secretary of
tho commonwealth and chairman ot tho
Ritner Stato committee, in which ho
says to his political friends: "Let us
treat tho ekction of the ninth instant as
if we hud not been defeated, and in that
attitmlo abide tho result.
Tho newly elected legislature was to
assemble in iiariubiirg on tuo -itu ot
December. To overawo them and pro
vent the organization of that body, tho
counting of the vote, and tho inaugura
tion of Governor Poiter, Thaddeus
Stovcns assembled in the hulls of tho
legislature tho canal contractors nnd their
bullies, luriilsheu tiicm wun money.open.
ly dNtiibulcd to them in tho hall of tho
house, armed them with muskets, and
put them under the command of ono
Capt. John P. Rutherford. Thoso Hali
fax bullies and Wiconlsco feeders were
there, as they themselves reported, to
prevent Governor Porter fioui being I
sworn in, and lo put tho eight defeated
candidates "Irom tho county oi rhtiadel-
phia in their seats if they wero refused,
: n.. ! .1 i.i if i- i

To assist and support Stevens' bullies,
Ritner called out tho military. Tho peace
ful city of Ilariisburg was turned into
an encampment. I h roll of tho drum
and tho steady tramp ot soldiers
echoed through tlio streets, and drowned
tho voice ?f debato in tho legislative halls.
Tho Stato was excited and convulsed.
But at that dav the Democrats wero
called, and rightfully called tho "ttiitcrii
licil Democracy. 1 heir leaders wero
Francis It. Siiutik, William Hopkins,
General Rogers, Charles Brown, and
other ablo and determined men. Anil
notwithstanding tlio military forces, in
defiance of tho Halifax bullies, unawed
by tlio "stalwarts" from tho Wiconisco
feeder, these men, standing firm in tho
right, unarmed, but thrico armed in a
just cause, drovo Penrose and Burrowes
nnd Stevens and Fenn from tho senate
chamber through a back window.
The conspiracy was defeated 1 Tho
people triumphed I Tho legislature was
organized. Governor Porter was inau
gurated, and this first attempt at a "stal
wart" government in Pennsylvania was
a failure!
A committee was appointed to inves
tigate the causes of this disturbance. I
will not take up your spaco by detailing
.i i i! r..i i..: t .. !...!..
mo eviuenco euciieu uy inu v.iiiiiiuuiiuii,
but tho commltteo was fully instilled in
stating tho following conclusions, as es
tablished by tho testimony.
First. Fictitious names were placed on
tho registry, together with tho names of
non-residents in the respective wards by
relief officers, nnd names were added to
the registry by them after tho time fixed
by law for so doing had expired.
Second. Federal officers of tho election
treated tho sacred obligations of an oath
with tho most deliberate and startling
indifference.
Third. Bribes wero offered and paid to
chango tho result of the polls.
Fourth. Hordes of individuals, under
tho pretext of being olliccrs to preserve
the peace, wero employed and stationed
near tho respective election houses, with
the view of intimidating tho Democrats
from tho free exercise of the right of
suffrage,
Fifth. Tickets wore taken from tho
boxes, before thcclovo of ths polls, and
before any canvassing took place.
sixth. In other districts, tickets wero
thrown into tho boxes and counted,
which had never been deposited in the
legal manner, by qualiticd voters.
Sovcnth. Blank naturalization paper
wero filled up without tho sanction of
tho court.
Eight. Abandoned men, who had bet
largely upon tho result, wero appointed
to othciato at tho election.
Ninth. All information as to the result
of tho election in certain districts was
withheld by tho Federal officer, even
after the polls had been canvassed aud
the result ascertained.
Tenth. Important election papers wero
either lost or destroyed by Federal eleo
Hon othcers.
Elovonth. False receipts for taxes were
manufactured.
Why, these allegations read like a
pago from the day's newspaper. Forty
years of practice has perfected all tho
appliances for illegal elections, and has
given uomuess lo tuu uuiispn.iiuis, nun
whero fraud fails force is unscrupulously
used. Wo have seen if such things could
bo dono in tho green tree, what could be
done in tho dry. I said these men, who

Of all thoso who. on that memorable oc
casion, conspired to overthrow and usurp
tho Government, Thaddeus btovens was
the only ono who attained further notor
iety, lie camo to bo a leader of his
party. llo carried with him into his
councils tho experience of those Harris
burg days of the buckshot tear. Those
who know him wero not surprised
to hear him say in Congress that ho
was in favor of giving arms to tho neg
roes, "and set them shooting their
masters." And again, "I will not stulti
fy myself by supposing that wo havo any
warrant in tho Constitution for this pro
ceeding." "This Union never
shall, with my consent, bo restored
under the Constitution as it is. And
again, "Wo must conquer the Southern
States, and hold them as conquered
provinces."
Theso aio tho doctrines of that portion
of his party now calling itself "stalwart;"
thoy aro tho legacy ol tlio buckshot war
conspirator to Ins countrymen. 1 ho at
tempt which failed on tho soil of tho old
lvoystono iorty years ago is now to bo
mado on a wider field, and with applian
ces fortyfold more vast. More than a
hundred thousand ofhco holders stand
contrasted with tho twenty or thirty
canal contractors; hundreds of millions
of money over-shadow tho fow live-dollar
bills which Stevens could supply, and
tho diillod veteran takes tho placo of
General Patterson's Philadelphia militia.
It has been well said that "eternal vigil
ance is tho prico of liberty," aud that
party will bear to bo watched, which, in
the "lottery of assassination," appoints
to office only tho "stalwart" who has
lef.rncd his lesson at tho feet of Stevens,
aud applied it with tho pistol of Guiteau.

It omrht to bo kindly suggested to the
Secretary of War that it is timo for him
to put an end to theso incessant attempts
to hold up his mother as an object for
public charity or compassion. Mrs. Lin
coln's pension of $3000 n year and tho
filial pride an I affection of her son
ought to be quite sufficient lo protect
her irom want or disiresi. rnua.
Chronicle Jferald. . .
Let us all hopo that tin Donncrats of
the lvoystono Stato may this year display
tho devotion and good faith which wore
not strikingly conspicuous in tlieir con
duct of tho last campaign. Had tho gal
lant attack of tlio 50.000 independents
been seconded bv tho Democrats it
would have wrested tho Stato Treasury
from the ring and given their parlv a
commanding position now. Instead of
embracing tlio opportunity, however,
some of the Democrats bolted tho party
nominee, others voted lor tho Cameron
candidate nnd still others stayed at home
and thus nullified the good work of the
Wolfe men. Democrats elsowhero would
liko to feel certain that tho performance
will not bo repealed next lall. A. J
World.
Not only has the order gone out for
tho nomination of General Braver for
Governor, but the manner of referring lo
him for public usn by his supporters
seems also to havo been ordered. An
esteemed contemporary yesterday con
tained interviews with four more or less
eminent subsidiary bosses, and each suc
ceeded in saving, in almost the same
language, that General Beaver is a Chris
tian gentleman, an ablo lawyer and lost
a leg in tho war. Nobody will care to
dispute anv of this, but its constant rep
etition by the boss statesmen and the boss
organs is going to make it dreadfully
monotonous long before tho campaign is
over. In the interest of variety which
is the spico of life the bosses ought to
allow their dependents a little moio lat
itude. I'hila. Times.
