This is tho season of college com mencements, and hundreds of young men aro just going out into tho world to begin tho battle of life. Most of them know th.M, they aro capable of tackling any department of business or profession, with tlio certainty of success, but their high opinions 6f their ability will be dispelled in a few brief years, and they will discover that something more than a diploma is necessary for success. lla.id work, pcrsoveranco and integrity are tho only things that win in tho intellectual field.

But tho country has Been greater crimes not only condoned but approved by tho party which has held continued possession of tho Govern ment for twenty-two years. Tho scandals of Grantism did not weaken tho hold of tho President ouhis pauy. Tho Treasury Biug, tho Navv Ring, tho Post Ollieo Ring, tho Arrav Riner. the Indian Rintr. tlm T.nmi l.'inrr tho Pension Ring, tlio Printing Ring, tho n iiiBK iuug, uie vasinngton King, all flourished ninlnr ft tbeir villaiuies vere traced quito to tho uoovoxino wniio House itselt.

Tho Freedman's Bank was robbed and gut ted by Republican philanthropists, who shed tears over tho sufferings of the colored brother ami stole tho savings of his wife aud children. Tiro San Do mingo job was whitewashed by con spicuous Republicans. Republicans loo.ed tiic Navy. Tlio Emma Miue exposure, the corrupt Venezuelan Com mission, the fraudulent Mexican claims, tho Indian tribes, tho speculations in public loans, and tho collusion in the departments with outside thieves swell tho Republican Record. When a Republican Congress passed tho salary grab and tho back pay steal, thoy only kept time to tho quickstep of robbery, with Sccor Robeson's marino band furnishing the music. And after indignant public opinion compelled a retreat from that barefaced seliomo of spoliation, tho doubled salary of tho 1 resident was preserved as a special compliment to Grant. Tho jobbers, the ringstors, tho plun derers, tho adventurers, and tho thicvec who infested tho Whilo House deman ded a third term for Grant. Tho third term conspiracy failed only becauso tho party feared a crushiugdefeatif the ex perimcnt was tried. Great corporations are now controll ing legislation on many matters in which they aro interested. Thoy havo corrupted and packed courts, and they keep Republican sentinels posted along tho avenues leading to all tho depart ments. Repeated investigations havo shown tho gicat 'edgers of tho Treasury have been mutilated, tho balances involving many millions of dollars have been forced, that erasures and interpolated figu es exist by thousands, and that books of account 1 a o disappeaied. Tho Presidency was stolen in 1870, and Homo of tho beneficiaries of that crime aro most conspicuous in pretend ing to deplore tho fai'uro of justice in tho Star-iou o cases. Tho p.irty that applauded tho Great Fraud which carried Hayes into tho Whito IIouho and Sherman into tho Treasury, and appropriated all tho pro ceeds of tho crime, did not sc.uide, Com yoars later, to support u candidate whoso whole p jblio career was stained with jobbery. The mo'n who commi.ted tho crimes in this long catalogue, or their creatures and representatives, aro still in office. They hold tho fori, and resist all intru sion. They know how to turn aside dangerous investigation. Thoy sound tho alarm at tho tirst approach of tho etiemy. Thoy mount guard by day aud by night over tho records. Thoy know how tho Navy Depai .incut wn.i tired lour times within a to.v weeks. Thero is no poslbilitv of reform, or of purification of tho public service, whilo this condition of things exists. All tho essays a. 'd rules of Eaton, Gre gory, and Tliomnn are worth no nioio lor that pmpoeo than tho chattering of so nuny woukoys in a menagerie. All other issue sink into insignificance when compared with tho magnitude- of this qucwlion. Fir t of all, tho country must havo a charge of party, tho infu sion of now blood into the manage ment of public ulfairH, and clean hands in every branch of the public service. r-Suth , Governor Patti3on Vetoes the bill to Pension Disabled Soldiers- Governor Patlinon gives the follow ing as his objections to tlio Sonata bill No. 70, entitled j'An net to authorize and empower cities, boroughs and in corporated towns or villages in thii Commonwealth to provide for tho sup port of disabled lircinon." This is a now stylo of pension bill. It empowers tho Councils of "eaoli city, oorougii aim incorporated town or vil jago" to pass an ordiuanco npproprlal inj inonoy for tho ..naviuent of. a neu- sion of eight dollars n month to any member of n llro company who is dis abled in tlio discharge of his dullcs as a fireman, and in daso of death from injuries so received to appropriate $101) to defray bis funeral expenses. Tlio bill is loosely and ituiicrfcotlv drawn and has many details providing for tlio prool ol itiitiriea received by firemen claiming pensions, for tho publication every siv months of tho names of pen sioners and tlio amount paid them, nnd for tlio Bcini.ntitiu.il examination ol nil such pensioners. Thero i no doubt of tho humane motivo of tlio persons who conceived this bill, but theil) is rather a bitter potion mixed in tho charitable cup it offers, by tho provision requiring tlio tact that a person is a pensioner on tho bounty of a community to bo pub lished every six months in tlio newspa pers with his naino and tlio amount of ids note. This, however, involves a question of taeto aud delicacy only, nnd no inflexible rulo can bo established for measuring the charitable propensities of mankind. Tlio bill provides that the moneys to pay tho pensions al lowed suall bo appropriated by tho authorities "out of tho moneys raised for city, borough nnd town purposes" nnd shall bo paid from tlio public treasury "out of any money therein and collected by the taxes from tho taxable property." Herein consists tho legal vice of this bill. Tho Legislature can not authorize tho appropriation of money raised bv taxation for public purposes to any such charit'ablo use. The seventh sec tion of the nrticlc of tho constitution on "Taxation nnd Financo" provides that "the general assembly shall not authorize any county, city, borough or incorporated district to obtain or appropriate money for or to lban its credit to any corporation, association, institution or individual.'' Hero is an express prohibition against tho passago of any bill such as this, authorizing money to bo appropriated to individuals. That tho purpose is a benevolent ono is no answer, aud will not stay the op eration of tho constitutional interdict. Tho public spirited citizens may volun tarily excrciso their charitablo impul ses to any extent they please, and in such matters generally will, for thero aro no people tho visible ovidenco of whoso merciful and humane liberality so thickly abound as those of Pennsyl vania. Ilcr charities and charitablo institutions arc among tho greatest of her civic g'ories. The constitution scorns to have been framed in tho bo liof that thero was no danger of a de cadence of this benevolent spirit among our citizens. It may bo said that tho fact that tho bill provides that it shall only tako effect upon a majority of tho legal voters adopting its provisions is an answer to tho constitutional prohibi tion cited. But this is a mistake Every citizen lias the right to claim tho fun damental law, and a majority cannot tako away from a minority tlio security afforded by the law. Tax monoys aro sacredly protected by tlio constitution from being appropriated in the manner authorized by this bill, and every man who pays a tax can invoke this pro lection. For theso reasons I declinoto approvo the bill. The Ohio Democrats. Tho Democracy of Ohio last week nominated Judge Hoadly for Governor. Ho is a strong candidate, and tlio con test in that stato will bo hotly fought with tho chances in favor of tho demo crats. Tho platform adopted is a sound one, and tho tariff plank is not what was expected or hoped for by the op position. The platform adopted is as follows : Tho Democracy of Oh'iOj in conven tion assembled, hereby affirm tho prin ciples of tho party as "expressed in tlio primaries and in tho stato and national j atforms, in regard to personal liberty, tho true function of good government, and as embraced in tho political creed expounded by tho great founder of the Democratic party Thomas Jefferson Tho application of these principles to our present condition demands tho puri fication of ilio public service, tho pun ishment of the robbers of tho, public treasury, tho equalization of all public burdens tlio arrest of theprofligacy and oxtravaganco that corrupt tho adminis tration of public affairs, and a total change in tho policy that has so lo..b been pursued by tho Kepublican parly, of favoring individual and class inter est at tho expense of tlio laboring and wcallu-prcuucinc peoplo ottlio country, and wo reanuounco our previous decla- niuuii lor siauio money, aim mo grad ual extinction of tho public debt and tho payment of pensions to disabled soldiers, their wives and orphans. J nr.. r- 'n. ivcuii(i w u i.ivor u iiiriii ior reve nue limited to the necessities ot a government economically administered and so adjusted in its application as to prevent unequal burdens, encourairo productive interests at homo and afford just compensation to labor, but not to crcato or foster monopoly. Jhira ilio act ot tho Iscpublican Congress reducing tho tariff on wool, while at tho samo tuno increasing it on woolen goods, already highly protected was iniquitous legislation, discriminat ing in favor of monopoly and against tho agricultural interests of tho coun try, and ought not to havo bee. i carried, aud wo heartily approvo tho action of tlio Democratic members -of tlio Ohio leletration inCoimressiu votiutrairainst tlio increase. Fourth Tho Democratic party is, as it alwr.ys has been, opposed to sump-, tunry legislation and unequal taxation in nny form, and is in favor of tlio largest liberty of private conduct con sistent with tlio public welfare and the lights of others, and of regulating tho liquor traffic and providing against evils resulting therefrom by a judicious and properly graded license system. Fifth Tho abuses of tho present contract system in our Stato Peniten tiary, bv which tho products of tlio labor of convicts aro brought into com petition with tho products of honest labor, to tho great detriment of tho lat ter, aro injurious and unwlsoand ouirht to no corrected, and tho promises ot tlio Republican party to nbolish this system - . . w - aro tmowu 10 do laise and nypoorltieal by its failure to do so whilo it has had the (lower.

Seventh Wo roallinntho resolutions of tho Stnte Convention of Ohio in 1880, toai and iaai, and ot tlio JJcmocratio National Conventions of 1872, 1870 THE COLUMMAN AN1D and 1880, dcnniidiiig thorough reform and purification of, tho civil service, and charge that thcUtcpublioan, party has violated oTciV olcdiid it has: heretofore given fonthb refArin thereof, and hns failed during Itsilongfftdministratton of inn wni'nriimintJi in incorrect oven thd 'most oryifig abuses iand wb demand therefore, a chaniro in tlio executive administration of tho Government itself ns tho rofonn first of all necessary, as made moro manifest by tlio recent Star Routo tnals, thereby ousting corrupt rings confederated to protect crimp. and provenUtho punishment of criminals, and by so doing to make it possimu to again punish lruitd and uuoying in tho public sorvlcc. If no congressional or leirislatlvu at portionment bills aro passed bv tho legislature it will bo tho fault of a re publican somite. Thu democrats aro asking only what !... 1. ...... .1... !..!.. i I. .. 1 .1... !. u.tvu lliu iiuni, mj Illlt Itllll unit 1", a lrtir division of tho districts in pro portion io ino voio ot mo stato in 1880. Tho republicans aro demandincr an unfair division, nnd havo even gono so tar ns to say that unless their bill can bo passed, they will provent an appor tionment, i mis puts tho responsibili ty on thorn for a prolonged session, or the fniluro to pass tho laws required by the constitution. Tho people under stand this, and if tho republican party thinks it can offord to maintain its present nttitmk let it try it on. Their object is to retain tho present congres sional districts, as thoy aro given a much larger proportion now than they can expect to hold under a new appor tionmcnt. As tho democrntiu bills nro fair and honest, tlio democrats should stnnd out boldly for their rights, nnd consent to no bill that is not just to them. The Heal'lssue in 1804. l'rotn tlio N.t V., Sun (InJ.) The tariff cannot be a great issue in 1881. High rates of duty must neces sarily bo imposed upon all important articles. Tho reduction of tho tariff to anything approaching a free trado standard is an absolute impossibility. AVhcre,thon is thero any reason which can mako this an overtopping point of dlsputo between tlio parties T If tho necessity of levying high duties is ad mitted by all, so that thero can bo no difference in principle regarding it, how aro parties to contend upon it ? How can a question respecting which thero is no substantial difference be made to surpass everything else in im portance 1 Tlio great and overtopping issue is clearing out the den of thieves. The Lite Eobert A. Packer's Estate. Tho Mauch Chunk Coal Gazette pub lishes tho following : After the death of tho Late Robert A. Packer, which occurred a few months ago, says tho Sunday paper of Easton, it was report ed that his separate or individual estate, independent of his interest in tho estate of his father, was worth a quarter of a million dollars, and this report was ex tensively circulated in tlio journals of the Lehigh Valley. It has now trans pired tjiat Mr. Packer died insolvont, and it,jfl reported upon good authority that within a few days past his widow, a daughter, of Hon. Victor Piollct, of Bradford county, retained Messrs. Bul litt, and Dixon, Philadelphia lawyers, to institute a suit in equity against tho estato of Asa Packer for an allowanco as the widow of her lato husband. Robert A. Packer left no childron, but about a year beforo his death adopted a little girl as his daughter. Early on Sheridan. Tin: r.x-ooxrKimitATE oi:.ni:uai, thinks siikuidan ouonr to have cur Tunui) linr. Gen. Jubal A. Early, accoiding to tho Boston Globe, recently told a par ty of northern tourists that General Sheridan ought to havo been court- martialed tor not capturing his (Early's) forces in the Shenandoah val ley in 1804, as Sheridan had four men to his one. Early also savs that Sheridan's ride was unnecessary, as General Wright had already prepared to attaok the confederates before Sher idan arrived. Speaking of his raid into Pennsylvania and Maryland, General Early "said . "When I was in York, l a., 1 lovied an assessment of so much corn, so much clothing, so many boots and shoos, so many bags of grain nnd $100,000 in monov. Thoy delivered everything in accordance with my re quisition, except tho $100,000, Of that amount- the mayor brought mo !5r,OUU, and bOKKed tor further tuno to raise tho balance. I extended tho time, but loft early tho next morning, and York still owes mo 28,000. York afterwards established a loan to meet this levy in aid of tlio southern confed eracy, getting authority from the Penn sylvania legislature to lay a special tax to pay on a portion ot it each year,anit I understand that its citizens aro still contributing to its liquidation. If I was ono ot ttiem l would raise tho point that such a tax is in violation of nrticlo M section 1, of tho constitution of the United States, whioh provides that all debts or obligations incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against tho United States shall bo bold illegal and void. State Agricultural Pair. i'HH..iii:i.i'iiiA si:i.r.uTi: as the rim- MANUNT EXHIBITION 1'I.ACB. The Stato Agricultural societv lias leased tho lot of ground bounded by Broad street and Lamb Tavern road, south af tho Junction railroad and west of tlio Germantown railroad, Philadel phia for tho purposo of holding their annual fair. As tho leaso has been mado out for a period of ten years, it is probablo that Philadelphia lias been selected as a permanent place for tho state society exhibitions.
