Election Reform.
Editors Coi.mmiAN: I am writing
this while the February election is pro
gressing, and tlitireforo am uninfluenced
by results. My object is to submit to
the consideration of our party tho ne
cessity for a reform in the selection of
candidates to bo elected for tho govern
ment and public duties of tho town of
Hloomsburg. It has long been mani
fest that neither our system of voting
nor our caucus or public meeting se
lection of candidates is cutircly unob
jectionable. Indeed thoy arc failures
singly and collectively. Iu my mind
tho results now obta'uied arc failures
for lack of party responsibility; and
whether in town, township, county or
statu politics tho failure is most un
doubted. Ono party or tho other must
conduct tho government, and bo respon
sible for the failure and credited with
tho success,for in case of a combination
between them it is mere, corruption aud
negligence, division and silence. Let
us bo done with it, now and forever.
My idea is that the Democratic party
of thu town of Bloomsburg should on
the Saturday week before tho Bpring
election, elect one delegate for every
thirty voters and it-action of twenty
thereof, bv districts.cach person voting
for tho whole number to bo elected ;
and that thoso delegates should meet
on tho Tuesday before the election, and
select and put iu nomination the full
ticket of ollicers to be elected. As to
instruction to delegates, and methods
of nomination, these aio mere matters
of detail aud can bo previously arrang
ed by a few siinplo rules to be submitt
ed, considered and adopted.
In this way, tho Democratic party
by making good nominations and
electing competent men would bo ablo
to manage tho affairs of tho town; and
if they did not elect good, competent
and responsible men, they would be
displaced ("is they ought to be. Where
both parties aro responsible, neither
party is responsible. No matter what
the charge may be, the answer is
"You'ro another.'' And tho people
and tho public interests suffer while
tho different party oltico holders nro
dividing the spoil or fixing things for
tho next round.
What say you, Democrats 1
An Old One.
Controller of the Currency,
Tho tollowing article in which our
distinguished townsman, Hon. C. 11.
'Duckalew is mentioned, is taken from
a special Washington despatch to tho
St. Paul (Minn.) J'ress of Feb. 6th:
The president's ignorance of the
views of Mr. Gumey, controller of tho
city of Chicago, on the silver question
has alone stood between tho latter and
an appointment as controller of the
currency. The president will put none
but anti-silver men on guard, and if
Mr. Gurnoy is in favor of the suspen
sion of silver, and will show good
causo for his opinions ho will undoubt
edly receive appointment. An inquiry
is now being mado by tho president's
direction into Mr. Gurney's record and
views, and if tho results are satisfactory
his nomination may bo expected at any
time. There aro some strong candi
dates for the place. Among them
arc:
William II. English of Ohio, who
assisted Gen. Hancock during tho
presidential campaign; cx-Congress-raan
Buckncr of Missouri, ox-Senator
Iiuckalew of Pennsylvania, E. O.
Graves, tho chief of tho bureau of
engraving and printing of the treasury
department; U. i. f ulsom ot Illinois
W. E. Bracket, a prominent banker
of Tennessee, and J. W. Morgan of
Indiana, a relative of tho lato Vice
President Hendrbks.
Ex-Senator Buckalevr of Peunsyl
vania has very strong endorsements,
is all right on the silver question and
is very favorably thought, of, but to
avoid tuo criticism that is so trequent
about relations between the currency
bureau and the Now lork custom
houso the president has decided that
the uew controller must bo a Western
man.
The Indiana men want English
appointed, but he is considered too old
mil unpopular. The president knows
very well that English would not add
any strength to the administration, but
would bo a heavy load to carry. He
wants a man that will be continued at
once, as tho otlico is now in charge of
a green young person named Snyder,
who was appointed deputy controller
n short time ago. Gurncv is said to
fill the bill in case his position on tho
silver question is found to be satisfac
tory.
Another Great Man Gone,
1I01UTIO Si:VJIOL'U DEAD.
Ex-Governor Horatio Seymour died
at his home in Utica N. Y. last Fri
day night, after a, protracted illness.
Horatio Seymour was born in Onon
daga County, New ioik, iu 1811
Ho received a liberal education, studied
for thu bar and upon his admission be
gan practice at Utica. From tho first
he was singularly successful in his pro
less i on, In 1H 12 ho was elected to
the Legislature and served in that im
portant position until 1845, when ho
retired, and lor livo years gave his en
tiro attention to the law. During this
period ho advanocd with remarkable
rapidity and uecamo famous an over
the State at a profound lawyer and
eloquent advocate. In 1850 ho was
nominated for Governor by tho Demo,
oratio Convention. The Whig candi
date was Washington Hunt. ' After a
contest of exceptional activity Mr.
Hunt wa3 elected. In 1852 Mr. Sey
mour was again nominated. His dig
nified bearing through tho lira I con
test and after defeat greatly incicased
Ills popularity and m tuo second
test he deteated his antagonist by an
overwhelming majority. Ho was in
augurated in 1853, niiif sign.iliz-d his
administration by vetoing tho Maine
liquor law. In 1851 he was renomi
nated. There were four candidates iu
(lie field and Mr. Seymour wns again
defeated, after a keenly contested can
by which nearly a half million
votes were brought to tho polls.
Though defeated Mr. Seymour had
lot noiiu of Ills popularity in thn Em
pire State, and his fatno as a wiso Ex?
ecutlvo had spread all over tho entire
country. In 1 HOC his name was pre
M'nted to the Democratic Presidential
Convention, held at Cincinnati, for the
uotuluatioa for President. Bui ho was
unsuccessful, thn inllucnco of Pcnnsyl-
vania and fnmo of .lames IJuohanan
lmviiiL' carried tho body in
favor of
tho Pennsylvania favorite. After h!s
count Governor Seymour again turned
ins attention to ins iiiuiussiuii. uuv
his fcllow-citi.cns were unwilling to
consent to his permanent retirement,
and In 1802 ho was ngaln forced into
public life. It was in tho early period
of tho Civil War and tho people insist
ed on tho wisest and best men coming
to tho front. Thus moved in a great
emergency uovcrnor Seymour was
dragged from tho seclusion into which
ho had withdrawn, by tho Democrats
of his native State, and nominated for
Governor. The Republican candidate
was Genernl Wadswortli. Tho pas
sions of war had inflamed men and
tho contest that ensued was unexampled
for bitterness and energy. Hut Mr.
Seymour was elcctod mid was inau
gurated on tho 1st of January, 18G3.
At no time in tho history of tho
country was there so much need of
great ability, sublime patriotism and
untliiiching courago as during the term
of ollice that succeeded. Governor
Seymour was equal to every emergency
that confronted him. When tho Con
federate army invaded Pennsylvania,
and directed its course toward Harris
burg, tho call for aid on Governor Sey
mour was responded to with a ready
alacrity and promptness that had a
marked influence in turning the tide
against tho invaders at Gettysburg.
Iu fact ho sent more than Governor
Curtin asked for, and the response was
so swift and effective that it served to
strengthen the spirits of tho despairing
Pcnnsylvnnians who seemed already to
have abandoned hope.
It was during this year also that tho
draft riot occurred in New York City,
and in that trying emergency Governor
Seymour manifested not only his de
votion to tho cause in which tho count'
ry was engaged but his great mastery
over men. Tho enforcing of tho Con
script act of Congress had proved a
riot that threatened to devastate tho
city. Men were wild. Tho military
was invoked to subjugato them, and
that only intensified their passions.
When the outbreak was at its height
and the property of the city in peril of
destruction, Governor Seymour appear
ed on the scene. He took no heed of
his personal safety, sought no councils
from personal fear, but put nimself in
tho midst of the mob and by his mag
netic eloquenco stayed tho surging
mass of maddened men, led them back
to their homes, and restored tranquility
and order. It was a most remarkable
consummation. It exemplified the be
nign influence of kindness even under
tho most adverao circumstances. It
saved tho city, prevented carnage and
bloodshed, and removed ono of the
greatest dangers that, meuaced this
country during the war. For this
great act of heroism Prescdent Lincoln
personally thanked Governor Seymour,
lie likewise thanked him over his own
signature for his promptness in send
ing troops to Pennsyvania to repel the
invading army of Lee.
In 1868 Governor Seymour was
nominated for tho President of the
United Stntes'by the Democratic Con
vention which assembled in Tammany
Hall, Now York, on tho Fourth of July
0f tnat yCftr. Everybody remembers
tuo extraordinary incidents of that con-
vention. it was m session hvn uays
and several times threatened to dissolve
without accomplishing tho work for
which it was called. Governor Sey
mour presided. George II. Pendleton,
Winheld scott Hancock, who was
buried last Saturday , Thomas II. Hen
uncus, whoso honored grave is not yet
green, Joel i'arker, ot Now Jersey;
James K. Doolittle, of vVisconsin and
Asa Packer wero voted for. Pendle'
ton had tho majority of the convention
on several ballots but was unable to
get the necessary two-thirds. On tho
fifth day at the opening of the conven
tion Pondleton's name was withdrawn
and on the twentieth ballot, the second
tho day, Hancock received M2 1-2
votes: Auother ballot was taken with
out result. Several efforts had been
made previously to get Governor
Seymour to consent to tho use of his
name, but he retused. 1'inallv Ueneral
McCook voted the Ohio delegation for
mm. air. Seymour protested that he
couldn't accept the nomination, though
wun unconcealed emotion lie thanked
the convention for the compliment.
Mr. Vnllandigham said: "In times of
great exigenoy and calamity every
personal consideration should bo cast
aside.'' Ho insisted that Governor
Seymour must yield to tho Adreinis
tration in his behalf. Ulnos vote must
aud should stand for Horatio Seymour,
Ono after another, tho other States
followed, end at tho closo of tho ballot
Seymour was nominated unanimously,
The contest was unexampled in
bitterness and activity. The opposition
candidate was General Grant, and the
bitterness of tho war wes invoked to
turn tho tide which in the early period
of tho contest seemed to bo decidedly
in favor of the Democratic candidate
The New York Herald, a Grant paper
gavo up mo content a mouth oetoro tho
election, but a week betoro tho vote
tho New York World with a treachery
mat, nas not uecn equaled since until
its recent betrayal of its party in the
interest of tho Bell Telephone mono
poly turned against the candidato and
precipitated defeat. Tho result of tho
ballot was that Graut received Ji,015,
071 votes, and 21-1 votes in the Eleo-
tral College, while Seymour got 2,709,
C23 votes and 71 of tho Electoral Col
lege,
Since that time Governor Seymour
has been living at his homo in Utica,
an honored citizen enjoying the retire

J'ive years ago he was drawn to the

WASHINGTON LETTEE.
(From our Jlcgular Correspondent.
Washington. D. 0 Keb. 15, 1880.
There have been many rumors dining

Tho rumors nro periodic and usually
uuiotiudcd. the ireasury and lie
partrnent of Justico aro thu olllces par
ticuluily referred to, and iu thu cose of
the latter, gossip goes ho tar as to de
signate the Attorney-General's success
or.
'Mere has been moro quiet pressure
con-ramuuht to bear upon the Admlnisitra
lion to eltect .Mr. tiarland ,s removal
than tho public is nw aro of. But tho
President keeps his own counsel, and
he is quoted as having intimated to
au ollicious friend, after patiently lis
toning to his suggestion on this sub.
ject. that win it ho drsiied advice
touching ids own business, ho would
ask for it. ISi'ides, Mr. Garland is a
proud man, and would not be willing
to remain in Ilia presout position n day
were ho not assured of tho President's
fullest confidence.
An for tho Seoietary of tho Treasury,
should ho conclude to retiro it com J
scarcely bo from dissatisfaction with
his position or with tho President, or
for any dissatisfaction on tho part of
the President with him, as lliov hnvo
worked in perfect accord together for
n longer period than this Presidential
term. Mr. Manning has often said
however, that hu only entered tho
Cabfnet to assist tho President In In
augurating certain reforms. This be
ing done, ho had no further objection
In remaining. Hu could not desire to
mnko money while, holding so import
ant a place ns that of tho Secretary of
thu Treasury, and ho has often spoken
of a settled purpose to retire from pub
lic life.
During the present week, Education
will oe'tho subject of d.'bato In tho
Senate and tho Fitz John Porter caso
will bo again dragged through tho
House. Representative Swinburne, of
New York, in a speech on tho Portor
bill, boro testimony, from personal ob
servation, to tho jealousies which ex
isted among tho ollicers of the Army
uud said jealousy seemed to him to bo
ono of tho fine arts taught nt West
Point. Tho findings ot tho Court
martial In tho caso of General Porter
wero ho thought, largely tho result of
jealousy. Ho was followed by Mr.
Honk, of Tennessee, who said Porter
was guilty of treachery, and ought to
have been shot.
Tho discussions which tho Blair
Educational bill elicitod in the Senate
during the last Congress are likely to
be repeated in this. Tho subject was
exhaustively considered then, and littlo
that is new can bo said upon it now.
Senator Morgan ot Alabama, is still
in tho foro front of the opposition with
n clearer field beforo him now that Mr.
Garland is not there to confute him.
He still argues that the bill cannot
find a foot hold in Him Constitution,
aud that it is nu unwatrantable in
vnsion of the States' rights. Ho does
not believo that the wholo country
should bo taxed for tho benefit of
localities, and he protests that the
Government has no moro right to make
appropriations for the public schools
of a Stato than for its churches or dis
pensaries. Tuo senator said ho knew many
would icproach him for opposing a
measure that seemed to bo a great ben
efit to the people of Alabama but ho
prayed God lie might not lalter in giv
ing obedience to the Constitution ho
had sworn to support. His answer to
tho enlightened people of his State
would bo that ho preferred tho spirit
of truth, which dicth not, to tho body
of error even though crowned with
jewels, for its bridal with death.
In tho course ot these remarks, sen
ator George of Mississippi, asked him
f Calhoun had not vot?d for a certain
measure. "1 don t know replied the
Senator from Alabama, "and with all
respect for tho memory of Mr. Cilhoun,
don t caro. Mr. Calhoun voted on
both sides of many questions, aud voted
sincerely every time."
Thero wore two brilliant events at
the White House din ing the past week.
The President's third Slate dinner was
held in honor of tho Supremo Court,
and the first card reception of the win
ter was civeu to the Diplomatic Coips.
To this both Houses of Congress wero
invited, besides tho othcers of the
Army and Navy, tho Judiciary, and
various other officials in Washington.
The rain poured down in torrents, but
it was a carriage reception and no ono
attended who did not go in camaDcs.
Congress had been invited only through
tho papers, as it frequently has been
of late years, on such occasions aud a
number of Senators were conspicuous
for their absence. One of them re
marked that he would not attend oven
a caucus on such an announcement.
He knew tho President did not intend
any slight, but ho was not in favor of
carrying Jeffcrsonian simplicity quite
so far.
WHITHER ABE WE DRIFTING?
Dear Uolujiwan : Governments
have had their glory, dominion and
decay, iu all ages. The lessons of ex
ample and experience aro tho best.
the Kcpiibuu of Homo commenced to
die when 'the Gracchi died it was
finished completely when Caesar water
ed his horse iu tho Rubicon and march
ed on to Home, and for n crown.
Thero were essential causes that pro
duced tho death of the Roman Em
pire. Her conquests enriched her, and
sho plunged into luxury, profligacy,
corruption. The many peoples sho
conquered became nevo affiliated with
ner ; mougn suuiugateu iney wero
aliens. Sho dragged them at her
chariot wheels to adorn her triumph
ed marches with all their wealth sho
robbed them of as trophies. Many of
tho conquered were dungeoned and
destroyed ; many were thrust into her
armies that rendered them alien and
dubious armies. Millions wero for
eigners and annuled the loyalty and
force of the native born. Ry a sue
cession of conquests she acquired dom
inion and area that sho could not man
age, nenco constant revolts abroad or
social and interrecino war at home.
Her tyrant emperors, while depriving
mo people ot an voico in tho govern
ment, adnumsteied to their venality
and corruption by giving them free
shows. Tho Coliseum held an hun
ilrcd thousand spectators to look down
upon the arena of gladiators struggling
with each other, or with lions ; and
these emperors fed tho populaco freo
ot ciiai'KO, thus keepinir them in indo
lence. Oppressive taxation and dom
inion and power of tho priesthood wero
great agencies in sinking the people
into vassalage. Roman generals when
thoy got beyond tho sight of Rome,
did pretty much as they pleased. Tho
Romans divorced their wives on al
most any pretext, they owned hun
dreds of slaves apiece, foreign and
native hoto, and owned their lives
which thoy oould save or destroy.

Last Monday morning ns Jacob

an o' ject approaching that did not
seem to bo a log. There was clothing
on It, and they caught it, and drewit
out on shore, "when they found it was
the body of a man. Ho was apparent
ly a man of about 45 years, heavy
build, well dressed in n suit of black,
with overcoat, but no hat. On tho
watch pocket of the pants was tho
name of r. clothing fnin of Auburn N.
Y. Tho body had evidently been in
tho water several weeks, and had some
marks on it which might have been
mado by thu ice. Tim finders quickly
sent word into the village of what they
had discovered, and Samuel Snyder,
Esq., empannelled a coroner's jury,
consisting of R. W. Smith, J. F. Peif

and conveyed lo a littlo building in
the cemotery after being placed in a

the namo John Harrington, and in
several other parts of his clothing were

found to identify him.
Thero was a watch chain, but no
watch, nor pocket book. Telegrams
were sent up the river making inqui

D. Harrington of Auburn, N. "X. Ho
was a well to do man, engaged in largo

a saloon and was never seen alivo after
he came out of the place. It was sup
posed that he had a largo amount of

ho had but $10 in his pocket. It is
believed that ho was" murdered and
thrown off tho bridge into the river

WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY.
BY JOHN SUTTON.
Atnonng tho earliest reminiscences of
ray life, is that of my widowed mother
in tho twilight of the evening, laying
aside her work, and gathering her
littlo children around her knee, singing
to them patriotic songs and relating
to them the legend ot the bravo and
of the free. Sho told us of Tell, and
ot Wallace, and of Bruce and of our
own Revolutionary heroes, but, bid
us remember, that greater, and better
than either, was (Jeorge Washington.
Subsequently becoming better acquaint
ed with his history, the veneration I
conceived for him in my childhood
strengthened with my years, and now
at the age ot three score and ten, thero
is uo name on earth, Jesus aud my
mother excepted, that 1 revere more
than tho name of Washington.
bomo men die and aro almost im
mediately forgotien, or if remembered
at all it is by those who wero nearly
related or intimately acquainted, and
ho is, indeed, a poor creature that has
no one to lovo him, while ho lives, and
shed a tear over him when he dies,
others die and are remembered by the
generation that was cotemporary with
them. But some men never die. Tis
true, that the light of the eye goes out
the bloom ot the cheek fades, tho
musio of tho voico is hushed, the
strength of the limbs fail, and tho body
is laid iu tho grave out ot sight, but
in tiieir words, in their acts, nnd in
their characters, they still livo and will
continue to live, while there is a gene
ration on earth capable of appreciating
tho good and the true.
It is right and proper that we should
venerate tho names of such men, not
that wo should make idols of tbcm,
aud give them the worship duo to our
creator, but that wo should revero the
principles of truth and goodness, that
dwolt in tbcm and make them worthy
of our recollection. Among tho great
names that grace tho pages of history
thero is no one moro dear to the
American heart than the namo of
Washington. We give him tho ven
eration duo to tho father of his country
wo look upon as a fixed star, in our
political heavens, to which wo point
wun pnoo in our prosperity ana in
whoso light wo hnd a guide in our
adversity. Ho is our national ideal of
all that is good and true in tho citizen
tho general and tho statesman. Ho is
the standard by which wo measure the
protessions nt others and estimate, them
in proportion as they come up to that
standard.
It cannot be but that the annual
colcbration of tho birthday of suoh a
man whon his wholo chaiacter comes
into review aud tho principles that de
velopod themso.ves in that character
nro brought up before tho mind, must
have somo influence for good upon tho
nation, lust as tho contemplation of
beautiful picture excites iu us the love
of the beautiful, and has a tendency to
mouui us into tno same image.
A Great Victory
A Torriblo Caso of Scrofula
Cured by
Hood's Sarsaparilla
" In the winter ot 1879 I was attacked with
Scrofula In one of tho must aggravating forms.
At ono time I had no less than thirteen largo
abscesses over and around my neck and throal,
continually exuding an offensive mass ot
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost Intolerable to endure. 1 1 Is Impossible
to fully describe my sufferings, as tho caso
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, I was worse than ever.
1'lnally, on the recominendatlou of W, J.
Huntley, druggist, of Lockport, I was Induced
to try Hood's Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having takon twelve bottles, within the last
twelta months, the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, uud the abscesses havo all
disappeared, eneept tho unslghtlyscars.whlch
aro dally becoming ' smaller by degrees, and
beautifully less.' T do not know what It may
havo done for others, but I do know that lii
