For the past two rears the result
cf
the election in this county for mem
ber of the Assembly has been the very
reverse of what it ought to have been.
and her Democratic majority has been j
grossly misrepresented at Ilarrisburg.
The peculiar appliances which brought
about the defeat of the Democratic j
candidates are perfectly well known j
and understood here, although thev I
may not be appreciated outside of the '
limits of the county. William II. !
Hose was the first victim, at the Octo
ber election in 1ST1. Xo man doubt
ed his capacity or his integiity, ami
having identified himself in 1870, on
a local issue, with the entire peop.'e of
both parties in the northern portion
of the county, and thereby incurred i
the fierce opposition of his own sec-i
"w,,euwJ mtu m nce oi ; that he is determined to run the gaunt
county ticket. There is not a cand.-l M ag Iumtsmen eaJf to in at

Last year the same causes produced
the same result, and Samuel Henry
defeated John llannan as he had Mr.
Kosc. man assailed Mr. Ilamian's j 0nir ial reports of Hie State Treasurer
honesty, nor was his capacity ques-1 ; t.c Auditor fJcncral's office is dc
tioncd. He had always lecn an act- j nk.d ,;pon the frivolous ground that
ivcand consistent Democrat, but he ( tIl0 Auditor (icneral is absent from
too was slaughtered in the house of
his friends by thc same potent and in-
Aisii.ie agency. 10 tne l'cinocrats oi j
Cambria county i now i rosented the ,
question, win you again permit na.i- i
icalisin to triumph by the defeat of
Henry Scanlan and the election for
the third time of Samuel Hei.ry ?
Need we argue to Democrats why
they should not ? Why will a Demo
crat with a spark of political honor in
his breast refuse to vote for Ilenrj
Scanlan ? Is Ikj not honest and is he
not competent ? Is thc Democratic
parly, as represented by its candidate,
Mr. Scanlan, held in such light es
teem by any of its members in this
county, that they will deliberately
crucily it by contributing to his de
feat and to the election of his oppo
nent ? To state the question merely,
is to answer it. What more ousht v."c I , Af , , , . ,

approaches thc ballot-box next Tues
day. Let him then show that he has
the moral courage to act out his hon

sible a business as a man can possibly

afraid, however, that his candidacy can

Mr- Benfonl is a gentleman for whom

Tif the Constitutional Convention
last week, after a protracted discussion
upon the proposed abolition of the
-Associate Judgeship throughout the
State, thc Convention finally voted to
retain the office in counties which do
not form a separate jndieial district,
abolishing it in other counties, and
providing that the Associate Judges
in office upon the adoption of the new
constitution shall serve until the expi
ration of their terms.
To break up ami destroy what is
known at Ilarrisburg as "boring, or
corruptly soliciting the votes and in
fluence of members of the Legislature,
an evil of great maguitude, the con
vention has inserted the following sec
tion: 'The offence of corrupt solicitation of
members of the General Assembly, or of
public officers of the State, or of any mu
nicipal division thereof, and any occupa
tion or practice of solicitation of such mem
bers or officers to influence their official ac
tion, shall be defined by law, and shall be
punished by fine and imprisonment."
While speaking of the convention it
is proper to : remark that since it re
assembled it has been found impossi
ble very frequently to get a quorum
of its members present for the trans
action of business. The call of the
yeas and nays also shows that on most
nonn aintie unf mnro lliin lim-thirilx of
the members are present and voting, j
During the summer months the con-
, . . iLi-i i.
stant complaint was that it was too ,
hot, but that objection is not available i
now. Thc members are paid a large
salar-, and the failure of so great a
number of them to appear in their
seats and discharge the duties for
which the people elected them, is total
ly inexcusable and demands public
censure. When it is remembered,
however, that the convention holds its
sessions in Philadelphia, this absentee-
i.si is readily accounted for.
The Democratic .State Convention
of Xew York met at Utica on last
Wcdncsda- week and placed in nomi
nation a State ticket, with the exeep- i
tion of Governor, that office having
been filled last November by the elec
tion of Gen. John A. Dix. Following
the example of the Democracy of this
State at the Wilkes-Darre convention,
their brethren of New York applied
the lash with an unsparing hand to the
Congressional salary-grabbers from
that State, of whom there are quite a
number, Democrats jus well as liadi
cals. The resolutions on this subject
are plain and outspoken, and in marked
contrast with the resolution touching
the same matter adopted by the Rad
ical convention of that State just one
week previous. In addition to de
nouncing the salary steal, the conven
tion went further and removed Thomas
Kinsella, the editor of the Drooklyn
EarJe, a Democrat, from the State
Central Committee, for the reason
that he, being a member of Congress,
had put the money in his pocket.
The feeling throughout thc country
against that huge and impudent swin
dle is deep seated and universal, and
no Democratic member of Congress
who was in any way identified with it
will live to see the day when it
will not rise up in judgment against
him.
The New York convention declared
as follows :
"We condemn and denounco the salary-
i nil - (.'(uuxressmen. Democratic or
Kepubhcan, who voted lor it, or wiio nave
not renounced all share in the plunder
seized for service already done and paid
for.
"We condemn and denounce tho Presi
dent's signature to the bill which clenched
this iniquity, and which gave five thousand
dollars to each Congressman while procur
ing one hundred thousand dollars for him
self, after Congress had just refused to in
crease his salary, and we demand its re
peal." We stated last week, that the Johns
town I'oice had assorted that Samuel
llenrA voted at the last session against
the proposition to increase the pay of'
members from $1,000 to $1,500. The
Voice has twice since denied that it
ever "said anything about the matter."
We now, to prove the truth of what
we said, copy from the I'ojcc of Fri
day, Sept. 26th, under the heading,
"Personal," the following:
Sam Henry was no salary grabber last
winter. He voted against the increase of
Legislators' salaries.
We assume that thc Voice will not
repudiate its own editorial offspring
since it really looks as if it had said
something "about the matter." If the
yeas aud nay were vot taken, as the
Voice admits, how did it undertake to
sa-, on Tuesday last, that Mr. ITenry
"voted against it." In saying that,
the editor of the Voice wrote himself
down au ass, for the yeas and nays
not having been called, who can tell
how Henry voted. It would be in '
order now for the Voice to den" that
it ever advised John T. Harris, the
. radical candidate for Sheriff, to with
draw from the canvass and wait until
a more propitious time would dawn
upon his political prospects. We are
not without hope that the Voice will
perform even that feat before next
Tuesday.
Address of the- Democratic State
Central Committee,
Voters of Pennsylvania, the tlay is near
I when you will be called opou todischarge ,
I . .... - . "
your duty as wormy aiui patriot le citizens
at the ballot-box in giving expiession to
your will as to whom you desire shall be
elected to the important and dignified po
sition of Judge of Iho Supreme Court -of
the State, and to whom as State Treasurer
for two 3-ears shall be entrusted the mon
eys of the State. " -
It is deemed necessary to say that, as the
Supreme Court of the State is the highest
judicial power and authority, to which mat
ters of the utmost importance as regards
State constitutional questions, decisions
and rulings of lower courts, and other mat
ters of great importance to thc life, liberty
and property of the citizens of the State
have to he submitted, and whose action, is
final, that it is therefore of the most posi
tive importance that the individual who
shall be elevated to a seat in the Supremo
Court of the State, should be thorough in
his knowledge of the law ; that he should
have an extended jndieial experience hi the
administration of the law, and that these
conditions should bs sustained aud illumi
nated by purity of purpose and freedom
from all selfishness, which, while they shall
materially aid the judge in the discharge
of his high judicial functions, will give con
fidence and secure ready acquiescence in
his official acts. In . the Hon. James. It.
Ludlow all these requisites and elements
of fitness for Judge of the Supreme Court
of the State are eminently present.. He is
learned in the law. lie has had sixteen
years experience in the administration of
the law as judge of one of the most impor
tant Courts of Philadelphia. He has, be
cause of his legal knowledge, acumen,
calmness in deliberation, his power of legal
analysis, and his unquestioned uprightness,
earned and received the" proud title of "the
learneu ana upngntjuage, not oniy irom
tne people, but from those (the members
of the Bar) whose professional duties bring
them in daily contact with him. Such, in
brief is the caildidatc for whom you are
invited to give yonr suffrages. For such a
candidate every reason exists to satisfy the
electors of his great fitness for the position
and to stimulate them to the full and com
plete discharge of their duties in securing
for the judgeship the enlarged ability and
integrity possessed by him.
The condition of the State Treasury and
its management for a long term of years
have been such as to give rise to great dis
satisfaction to the citizens of thc State; to
create well-grounded distrust for the safe
ty of the public moneys, and to call ir a
searching and thorough investigation of
the affairs of the treasury, which investi
gation, however desirable, cannot be even
hojied for during the coining two years if
the present State Treasurer should be con
tinued in his position.
It is universally believed that great wrong
exists in the management of the Treasury
j Department, and fears are felt and ex
pressed by the wisest and best of our citi
zens for the safety of the moneys of the
I rotate. 1 nat tne public Hinds have been
loaned in violation of the law for the per
sonal benefit of the State Treasurer, and
that losses have been sustained by the State
hi so doing, is patent to every intelligent
citizen of the Commonwealth.
It is an -admitted fact that "Money
Rings," having as their centre tire Stale
Treasurer and as their potent instrument
ality the ironeys of the State, have been
established and worked for the special pe
cuniary benefit of thc Slate Treasurer, and
for securing corrupt legislation. It is also
a well established fact that the money of
the State has leen and is now used to con
trol fraud-working jxjlitieai organizations,
whose outstretching influence and power
have attained so wide a tcope and such po
tency as to cause the honest, law-abiding,
citizen to contemplate with much anxiety
and fear the future of the State, if its p
litical destiny shall continue to be cuntrolled
by these and kindred baneful influences
and organizations, bike begets like.
Wrongs uncontrolled grow rapidly poten
tial. The past repeats itself, and thus the
I future too often becomes but its sorry dn
i plicate. It has been wisely said that "there
is no better way of judging the future than
by the past." So judging, what have we
to hope for of lawful, upright and judicious
administration of the affairs of the Stato
Treasury, if it shall be unfortunately con
fided foi two years longer to the misman
agement of the present incumbent? Tho
btst interests of the State demand his re
tirement, to be folio wed by thc most thor
ough and searching investigation into the
affairs of the Treasury. Shall this be done?
It is notorious that there is in the Trea
surer's hands an unappropriated , balance
ranging from one to three millions of dol
lars, which the law contemplates and tho
public demand shall remain in the Treasu
ry, and not be taken therefrom by tho
Treasurer and loaned by him, on his own
account, he drawing and appropriating to
and for his own use and benefit the inter
est accruing upon the sum or sums loaned.
li is saie to say mat tne Treasurer has at
his command an average unappropriated
sum or balance of $1,500,000. from which
he may by loaning it receive on his own
account an annual income of 90,000, in
direct violation of law, and to which he
has not even the shadow of legal or moral
right. The abuse and misuse of thc mon
eys of the State must be prevented an 1
greater security given for their safety and
proper use. This will not bo done by re
taining thc present Treasurer -in office.
The demands of justice and the require
ments of the law should be mado para
mount to the behests of fraud and person
al interests. Thc power to wrest tho
Treasury from the hands of him who con
trols it now is with the voters of the State,
aud the time is near at hand when they
may do it by giviug form and effect to
their will through the ballot-box Will
tho voters be equal to the demands of
right and the claims of justice ? In them
we have confidence and abiding hope.
Let them but will it, and a noiseless but
effective decree will be proclaimed through
the ballot-box, that honesty, integrity and
enlarged ability shall iu the future, through
and by a new instrumentality, guard, keep
and disburse the treasures of the State.
Francis M. Hutchinson has been selected
as the candidate for Stnte Treasurer. For
him the suffrages of the electors are invi
ted. Mr. Hutchinson is not a politician.
He has no claims or merits as uch. xlis
merits are his unquestioned integrity pu
rity and high business qualification, being
emphatically a busiuess man, and as such
he has been endorsed alike by political
friends and political opponents, aud by the
press of all shades of politics. In him is
found the Jeflersonian qualifications for
oflice, "honesty and competency." To
him, therefore, may bo confided tho man
agement of the Treasury department of
the State without fear that he will divert
tlA n "... . . fl...: t n...i 1 - . ..
fl uses, or that he will invest them for
. nivia-ja ii.-iui vucit i-j.tiniiu ..mi iii-
his own personal profit and enrichment,
or apply them to the base purposes of cor-
rupting legislation or in the creation and
woikinjr of corrupt and corrupting lioliti-
cal "iting" organizations.
Having unshaken and well based confi
dence in the purity and patrotism of the
people, the Committee feel that, recogniz
ing, as the people must, the great necessi
ty for a change in the administration of
tho financial department of the State, that
they are impatiently awaiting the approach
of the second Tuesday in October that they
may embrace thc opportunity which will
then be presented, to give expression,
to the end,
force and effect to their wil'
that tho administration of the present
State Treasurer shall cease, and that to
honesty and capacity, in the person of J
Francis 51. Hutchinson, shall le confided .
the duties and responsibilities of the Treas
ury of the State. Let every voter do his
duty, and victory will wreathe thfe banner
of those who labor for tho right and fight
the good fight for the safety of tho Com
monwealth. A. Nkjuxgkil,

ern 1'acific Fraud.
, Could a full, true and particular history
be given of Jay Cooke's bubble-blowing
during the last four years, in connection
with' the Northern' Pacific," it "would fur
nish one of the most curious episodes in
commercial annals. We shall first liave
the lobbying at Washington, the dinners
to members of Congress and representa
tives of the press, .with not impossibly
other more substantial inducements to the
more important members of the company;
preliminaries all tending up to the land
grant from Congress. The procuring that
land grant, a territory as big as Belgium,
was no easy task. A deal of manipula
tion with tender-conscienccd Congressmen
it demanded, but notwithstanding a bitter
opposition to the last on the part of a few,
who perhaps struck for higher wages, it
was found impossible to make a successful
stand against the great Administration
banker. So the bill passed Congress, but
the President was said to hesitate. Strong
representations were reported to have
been made to him against the grant and
"great pressure" put upon him to prevent
his assent to it, but the President who
hesitittes is lost. The potent persuasions
of "Financial Agent" Cooke prevailed aud
won the battle. And now let thc victims
of the swindle contrast tho line of conduct
pursued in this matter by Washington's
successor and hy the Emperor of Germa
ny. When the passing of the Northern
Pacific began to be disseminated thronsrh-
! out tho Fatherland, His Majesty's govern
ment dispatched to this country a commis
sion composed of gentlemen eminently
I qualified to arrive at a sound judgment in
i reference to the scheme. They went to
! the alleged paradise beyond Duluth, and
j with tho proverbial pains-taking accuracy
of their race, set to work to examine into
; the real facts of the case. The result was
I a report not alluded to in Messrs. Jay
I Cooke fc Co.'s advertisements in which
! they gave the most powerful reasons why
the project could not be a success, and
! they prevented thousands of poor Ger
mans from being ruined.
President Grant could have done the
same thing much more casil-, but he pre
ferred the less troublesome course of sign
ing his consent to tho bill, and the men
iiu nwiini rmwii hhij oy me iauuro oi
jay iook v o. may consider tuemselves
as iiol a iuiks inuetneu to tne 1'rcsitient of
j the United Hates ; for had he done his
J duty, the extravagant scheme of Jay Cooke
could never have been attempted. "
But still further difficulties had to be
j encountered. There is a certain nowppa-
per published in London called the Timr.
It has Us fauits, but a want of good faith
in commercial matters has never been re
garded as one of them. Indeed, it mny
fairly be said that it is not worth the tvliile
of tho Ti.-iH to be dishonest, for it .--ells
and has weight by its reputation for com
mercial prouii.y. -uw tne 1 inn lias a
correspondent at I'hiladelphia, ami i.i hc
summer of 1 $70 that gentleman began to
occasion thc great aud good Mr. .T.iv Cooke
who is a piilar of the" Episcopal Chnirli,
and would die rather than ol.Vud heaven
by inserting a Sunday advert bemcnt a
deal of trouble. This inconvenient person
would persist in declaring that thc para
dise through which the Xortlieln Pacific,
was alKiufc to run was a howling wilde: n.,
that the principal crop was the ice crop,
and that thc predatory tribes of Indians
who infest thc country were likely to prove
exceedingly inconvenient neighbors. Now,
inasmuch as the investing British public
reads its Tims, and believes in it, these
shameful allegations had to be stopped,
and even this was accomplished. Money
couldn't and didn't do it. It was very
cleverly managed in a different way. It
was stated as a positivo fact to a gentle
man of unimpeachable integrity, whose
high character was well known to tho
managers of thc great London journal,
that these statements on the part of tho
Philadelphia correspondent were mere per
sonal spite. P.e.isor.s were alleged why
this should bo so. It was asserted that be
was closely connected with a great rival
interest, ami that in throwing dirt on the
Fplendid enterprise of Jay Cooke fc Co.,
he was merely serving the enemy's turn.
Unfortunately, the gentleman alluded to
was induced to believe these statements
I and reported his belief in them to those
I who controlled the pajr, mitl tbe crrel
exposures of the Philadelphia correspond-
cut who had written some admirably pUn-
gent and logical letters on ihc subject
ceased to appear in the columns of the
j leading London journal. Thus was the
biggest lion muzzled,
j It was probably, too, with tho design of
carrying out t lie XSorthem Pacific project
that this gigantic speculator was induced
about the same time to establish his Lon
don house. This institution was intended
to tako the town bv storm. Tt t.,..f,i
i with a prodigious 48plur"e."
When some five years ago thofio gorireous
ofnecs were erected at tho most command
j ing point in Lombard street, each city man
as ho burned passed them wondered "who
j thc devil can afford to take them ?" Bnt
, what could not that firm afford who held
! h.lt0. House and Capitol in thc hollow of
; their hands? W ho could squeeze a laud
grant as big as Belgium out of the one, and
induce the other, for no shadow of reason
: to throw over the true and tried house of
, uu?so raercnant princes, wort
that lofty title, so long connected with the
ni,ii. ',.,, t'uunecivfwitli the
i public finance of this country, and so thor
oughly respected by all its best mercantile
men in favor of the ricketty Ohio adven-
let, let the victims of Jay Cooke rem.
-.-i mm iu give iurtner proof of his con
fidence to show still more how much he

In going'into a London business Mr. Jay
Cooke cast bis eyes about for an eligible
"FWii.Oi roadiutor. and discovered him in
tho person of one Colonel Pulcsrou, then a
stock broker in Xew York and a resident
of Brooklyn. This gentleman's career had
been verstile. Educated originally for the
medical profession, he abandoned it to go
to Australia, wheuce ho ca.me to this couu

quainted with tho jaw-breaking vernacu
lar of the Principality, Mr. I'uleston went
to Pennsylvania and becanio editor of a

made himself very useful to somebody in
politics, for during the war he was, though
a British subject, Statc.Agent.of Pennsyl

Just as the first Xapoieon sacrificed thou
sands of lives in the effort to carry out tre
mendous schemes to gratify his personal
j ambition, and intoxicated by success, at
last fell, through the idea that his military
genius could strike the word impossible
out of the dictionary, so Jay Cooko was
ready to sacrifice the hard earned savings
of tens of thousands to prove that the same
end was equally unknown to the Napo
leon of finance. Here is another of thso
"warnings to the ambitious" iu which Mc
Canlay tells U the nineteenth century lias
been fertile. It will not be altogether lost
on the people of this country if it teaches
them to remember henceforth that fine
words ir the advertisements of venal news
papers butter no parsnips, and t discredit
henceforward the alluring lies of the
'financial ageuts" of unmade raiiroads. i Treasury

The State Treasurer won't exhibit his
accounts, and the Auditor General refuses

Klamath. Indian Territory. The "sentences
of the other two, Sloluk and Bamcho, were
commuted to imprisonment for life on Al
