UsiEr the head of "DouMe Rack Ac
tino," tlie current number of the .Ti'hnstovf d
Voice and Eeho declares lli.it "an appa
rently well founded rumor is abroad to the
effect that the manager? of the Republican
party in this county have decided upon
sacrificing every other man on their ticket
for the purpose of securing1, by a sort of
free trade system, the election of P. II.
Kinkead, to the office of Prothonotary.
The effect ef this rather short-sighted ma
noeuvre will be to drive Messrs. Lapsley,
Gates, et al in a spirit of self-preservation,
to tho ame business, and then will ensue a
mutual cutting ef throats highly exb itera
ting to the Pemocrtic ticket generally and
to y,r. MoColgan in j articul.nr. 'If Kin
kead can trade me I can trade Kinkead,'
is the way one of the candidates in the op
position ticket has already indicated the
course ho intends pursuing, and by the
time the other nine enter the game upon
the same basis, the managers aforesaid
will find themselves playing a 'lone hand'
with the atieng cards all against them."
The annual State election in this and
several other States formerly took plaeeon j
the second Tuesday of October. The new
constitution, however, has changed the
time in 1'ennsylTania until the first Tues
day of November, (being this year the
third day of that month,) on which day
tbe- State and County elections will be
held. This change was deemed necessary
by the convention in order to conform to
the day set apart in all the States for hold
ing the Presidential election. All that our
constitutional convention therefore did
was to fix the day of the State and County
elections on the same day as the Presi
dential election. We regard it, for many
reasons, a wise provision in the new con
stitution. Other States, and especially in
the Wet, will boid their elections for State
fficers en next Tuesday. This will be
the case in Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, and Ne
braska. In Ohio and Indiana no Govei-

named. Rut there will be an election for
Congressmen. In the last Congress, the
four States enumerated were represented
by tfiirly-thrt Radicals and ten Democrats.
We feel quite sure that the Grant party
will not hold its own in the election f
Congressmen next Tuesday. It is worthy
of special uote, and is an encouraging sign
of the times, that not a single man who
pocketed the back-pay has had the courage
t face his constituents in cither of the
four States named. Iu Nebraska, a "Oov
ernor, othr Stnte officers, and a Legisla
ture will bo elected. On tho same day
West Virginia will vote for members f
the Legislature, and the Democrats of
Arkansas will vote on the new constitution
recently adopted and for the candidates
for State officers nominated under it. We
are not aware of any other State elections
next week, but we have no doubt of sweep
ing Democritio triumphs in the States
u mod. Yet we confess that tho result of
an election is like a lottery, and we must,
tberefoie, patiently aud hopefully wait
for the result.
We have a few worda to say this week
to the candidates composing tlie Demo
cratic county ticket. Wc entertain no fear
whatever of the tiiunij bant success of the
entire ticket, because when the Democra
cy are unitod they can carry the county by
a clear majerity of 700, aud as our inform
ation from nearly every district in the
county justifies us in saying that the ticket
meets with enthusiastic approval, its elec
tion cannot admit ef any reasonable doubt,
r.ut iu Older to make the victory compete
and overwhelming, it is necessary that tho
candidates themselves, to use a homely
phrase, should "roll up their sleoves and go
to work." It is a wise maxim in politics,
as well as in war, never to underestimate
the strength and resources of the enemy.
To achieve a decisive victory the united
Democratic column must be pushed to tho
front and a vigorous and determined charge
made along tho whole Republican line.
To be foiewarned is to be forearmed, and
we now caution the Democratic candidates
that their opponents assert their intention
of making the campaign a warm and live
ly one, and some of them even go bo far
as to claim that their candidates can and
will be elected. If a nomination by a
county convention is worth contending
for, surely the candidate who receives it
ought to fight for final success at the polls.
The Democratic press of the county will
do its full duty, but it must bo aided aud
Mrengthencd by the active efforts of the
candidates. We as a "Democrat have a
party interest in the result. They not only
have that, but also a personal interest.
"We have no reason to doubt that every
caudidate on the ticket fully understands
his duty and will actively perform it.
The time between tin's and the election is
brief, aud therefore the more urgent the
necessity for prompt and energetic action.
Our advice is honestly given and we trust
it will be acted ou in the 6aine spirit.
aa a in m tam
The radical managers, with Senator
Morton, of Indiana, at their beau, seem
determined once more to reconstruct the
State of Arkansas. When will these in
famout outrages cease? After the late
disgraceful quarrel in that State for the
possession of the office of Governor, be
tween Baxter and Brooks, in which con
test Baxter, through the interposition of
Giant, was successful, and took charge of
the State Hoiwe.it was believed by tbe
friends of law aud order in the State that
peace and harmony would prevail, and
that any futuie difficulty between the con
tending tactions would be avoided. A
new constitution was receutly voted on by
the people of the State, and in a total vote
of 80,00O, and with all the advantages of
long possession of power, Clayton, Dorsey,
and the balance of the corrupt c.irpet-ba-crevr,
who for years have been robbing
and plundering the people of tho State,
could only poll 3,000, or, in other words,
one-tenth of the vote on that test question.
And now, when Clayton and his cerrnpt
crew have been defeated at tbe ballot-box
in a peaceable and quiet manner, without
a riot or any disturbance whatever, It is
deliberately proposed to undo the action
of the people by an appeal for inteiference
on partt of the national administration.
This is to be done en tbe base and unfound
ed allegation that the Constitutional con
vention was an il'.egal and unauthorized
body, and that its action was therefore t
oid and of no binding efbrc'C although
tke people ratified its calling by a maj ri
ty of over 70,000. Accordingly, Brooks,
the deposed Governor, and his friends pro,
pone not to vote on the adoption of the
constitution on uext Tuesday, and then
appeal to Gen. Grant to interfere aud dis
solve tbe present State government. U is
a bold, infamous and nefarious scheme,
and we trust and believe that President
Grant will not give his aid and support to
any sncli villany. Peace and order leign
in Arkansas to day, and in the name of
decency, justice and the happiness of its
people, let there be no attempt made to 1
introduce anarchy and confusion.
To Laroking Men. Thoso who have
studied event during the last ten years
can now see the folly of placing dependence
on the promises of radical politicians. The
progress of tho Radical party and the
power it gained as an organization were ac
quired by the pledges if proclaimed pledg
es which have been as froely broken as
they were given We have only to refer to
the platform of the Republican paity on
questions concerning the laboring clashes,
ami the sad condition the latter now find
themselves in. See the distress that now
overhangs the working classes everywhere.
In no instance has the ruling party kept
faith with thoso who handle the" plow,
who drive the spike, work in the mines,
operate the furnaces and mills, or wield
the lever which forms the machine. Its
policy has been in all cases inimical to
labor ; to bniid up the rich at the expense
of the poor; to make labor subservient to
capital, consequently to oppress and de
grade it. While it promised to protect it,
it used all power to crush. Labor is not
only scarce now, but what Wttlo there is
but illy remunerated. And all this the re
suit of radical misrule ! Are they not an
swerable for the present depressed condi
tion of trade, for the wide ruin, the want
and wretchedness that stares us in the face
on every hand ? They can't escape the re
sponsibility. They have heretofore boasted
that they shaped the policy of the country,
the fru-.ts of which are seen in the stand
ing mill, the silent Workshop, enforced idle
ness among the working classes, and its
resultant poverty in direst form. The pres
ent distress must be removed from the
shoulders of the toiling millions. Tlie Dem
ocratic paity alone proposes to accomplish
this, and we here say that the only escape
from this condition of things, from irre
trievable bankruptcy of the nation, is in a
change of rulers. Unless the people protest
against the evils of Radicalism at the polls
next November, coming, and do it, too, in
that unmistakable manner which will
change the complexion of the next Con
gress, all that has made this country grand
and glorious in the silit of him who looks
to his strong right arm for preferment will
have passed away! Eloct our Democratic
nominees, then tho public plunderers will
be driven out, honest men will take their
places, confidence will be restored and the
initial movement made towards setting the
wheels pC industry once again in motion.
Vt'alsontuien Jiecard.
In every county in the State the best
citizens, the oldest inhabitants, aed the
youug men are dissatisfied with the olili
cal, industrial, financial, and governmental
policy be which the Radical party afflicts
the country.
Industry is not profitable; the manufac
tories are languishing ; the coal and iron in
terests are depressed ; the farmers are not
reaping adequate reward for their toil, and
labor is calling for employment.
The Radical party is directly responsible
for all thia. It has majorities iu Congress
and iu the State Legislature, and the Exe
cutives of the State atd th Union were j
placed in those positions by assumed nia- j
jorities at the elections. j
This distress aud uncertainty in all kinds :

Abusing the powers obtained by frauds '
at elections, and force iu many States, and
corruption everywhere, the Radical party ,
now attempts to degrade the white race by j
enacting into a law what is known as the
"odious civil rights bill," by which the '
white man aud his wife are degraded to the ;
level of the negro, since no legislation can i
ever elevate tho negro to that of the white;

and his followers to be the Stale govern- 1
incut in Louisiana, reported that the claim
was unfoundtd iu fact and in law ; that

the rights of the people, and was sustained !

was placed in power by the unconstitution
al actions of a Federal judge, who disgrac

Tiif. recoul of HonIohn Latta, the dem
ocratic candidate for LieutenantJovernor,
in matters affecting miners, stands in hon
orable contrast to that of Hon. A. G. Ol-n-sttd,
the republican nominee. To the
stuidy advocacy of Mr. Latta the bitumi
nous coal miners of the State owe the act of
187:5, by the provisions of which opeiatois
must pay for all the merchantable coal
mined. This act makes seventy-six pounds
a legal bushel, and two thousand pounds a
legal ton. Before the passage of the act
operators were accustomed only to pay mi
ners for "lump" coal; the "nut" coal, con
stituting one-fifth of the coal mined, wis
unpaid for. The miners also turned out
eijjhty pounds of coal for a bushel, while
'.he operator sold it at seventy-six lbs. to the
bushel. This change met with determined
opposition in the legislature, but was forced
through me House by Mr. Uatta's persistent
advocacy. It will hardly be iossible for
the hard working miners of Pennsylvania
to vote against Mr. Latta, the champion of
their interests in the legislature, and in fa
vor of Mr. Olmsted, the advocate ot an infa
mous law, discriminating against them as
a class, and depriving them of one of the
privileges which the statute confers on all
citizens three months notice from a laud
lord to b-9 tenant before eviction for any
cause. Harriiburg Patriot.
Olmsted and the Sinking Fcnd.
By the Constitution of the State, Sec. 4 of
Article 9, as it stood prior to its receut
:' amendment, says the Harrisburg, Patriot,
I the establishment of a sinking fund was
j authorized and directed for the paymeut
j of the State debt, and it was especially
j provided in the same clause of the consti
tution that "unless m case of war, inva
sion or insurrection no part of the sinking
fund shall be used or applied otherwise
than in extinguishment of the public debt
until the amount of suck dnbt is reduced
below the sum of Ave millions of dollars."
Iu 1S5S a democratic legislature passed an
act to carry into effect this provision of
the constitution and the sinking fund has
been since then an accomplished fact.
But no sooner did the radical party obtain
possession of the treasury than tkf-y began
to diveil from the sinking fund and to ap
propriate to the current expenses of the
State government largo sums of .the peo
ple's taxes which legitimately and legally
belonged to it. Under the management
of State affairs the ordinary expanses of
the government wei e increased so largely
that they were obliged iu oider to make
ends meet, te use the funds r-acredly set
apart for the extinguishment of tho State
debt. This high-handed plicy caused
considerable comment in political circles,
and after some time the radical politicians
began to take alarm at the excitement in
the public mind over the misappropriation
of the moneys in the sinking fund. De
siring to propitiate an indignant public
sentiment, a resolution was adopted in
the Senate of U-00, by a strict party vote,
tho radical senators voting fir it and the
democratic senators voting against it, re
questing Attorney General I'x-njaroin Har
ris Brewster to give an opinion on the con
stitutionality of a certain proposed act of
assembly authoiizing the moneys arising
from certain taxes to be diverted from the
sinking fund for the paymeut of the cur
rent and ordinaiy expense of the Common
wealth. This resolution led to a prolong
ed debate in the Senate see Leg. Rec, fr
lbf.U, p. 2fl7 during which Arthur G. Olm
sted took occasion to say that he had "no
doubt of the power of the legislature to di
vert the funds from thesiuking fund which
have been put there by au act of the legis
lature subsequent to the adoption of tho
constitutional amendments of 1307." Ip
spile of the plain and unequivocal inhibi
tion of the constitution, Mr. Olmsted
thought it perfectly competent for the leg
islature to put its hand into the sinking
fund and appropriate to tho ordinary ex
penses of the Commonwealth the moneys
specially reserved for the extinguishment
of the State debt. Is it any wonder that
he is a favorite f the ring and to day bends
the ticket of the pluuderers of the sinking
fund?

the young hidy who, of Ml other in Amer

Kev. "Mr. Prettyman. the postmner
at Marietta, ieorgia, whose recent defal
cation has been discovered, visited Phila

cruel to the negro, and claiming; that his

and rescue the blocks from oppression.

Further examination has discovered
the fact that nearly every po)lpg list iu the
city of Philadelphia contains illegal names
of persons either non-residents or having
no existence. Unless these lists can be
purged before the third of November,
there will be no mears of preventing re
peaters and roundcis from voting on these
spurious names. It is already ascertained
that there are eleven thousand names on
ihe assessors lists that should not be there.
Under the new constitution the courts
have power to wipe out this fraud. Will
they d. it ?
This is a strange story, not to be ucd
in Sunday school. An Albany man. out
of work and nearly starving, turned for
comfort in his wxtrcmity to his sainted
mother's Bible, for the first time since her
deatli in 1807. To his surprise anil de
light he found a ten-dollar bill between
the leaves and immediately fell on bis
knees f..r the first time since 1S40. With
a light heart and glitterivg eyes he prayer
fully started for the baker's shop to obtain
a loaf of bread. There he found that the
bill was counterfeit, when be sworo bit
terly for the first time in three hours.
Oscar Kinsr, a lad nine years of age,
living in Pnrlineton N. J., a few days ago
took his father's loaded gun from the
house, and going into the field, where a
boy named Christ her V.'ilicts. eight
years old. was husking corn, playfully pro
tended to shoot at him. The gun was
discharged, and young Wiilets was in
stantly killed. The stepfather cf King
was so enraged at what his son had done
that he kicked him until his life was en
dangered, and be was taken across tho
river to save his life. The coroner who
investigated the matter reported the shoot
ing purely accidental.
The Heading (Pa.') Time prints this
personal paragraph: "At the foot of the
( hesnut Hills, in North Coventry, Chtster
county, reside two eccentric bachelors,
Messrs. John and Fnlerick Hamilton,
who are now between sisty and seventy
years of age. They live happily together",
have no woman abont to give them a cir
tain lecture when thy are out o nights,
nor to tenderly caie for them in their hours
of sickness. They keep separate tables, do
their o n washing and cooking, make their
own beds, and do all neeessary work that
is to be done about a well regulated house
hold. Besides being good housekeepers,
these old gentlemen are of an inventive turn
of mind. They iccently invented a threshing-machine,
v hich is worked with a crank.
Five hundred sheaves of wheat and fifty
bushels of oats were theshed out by it in
one day."
One day two men in Xenia, Ohio, were
engaged in a discussion as to Ueecher's
guilt or innocence. From this our debaters
branched off upon the subject of human
nature in general, its foibles, weaknescs,
and instability under crucial tests; and,
growing earnest, one otrcred to bet that
there were not a dozen men in that city who
would stand a certain test which be speci
fied. The wager was accepted, twelve
representative male citizens designated,
and to each a dainty note, written in a
feminine baud, couched in seductive vet
polished terms, was sent as corning from a
lady. The missive stated that the writer
bad seen the gentleman addressed, been
impressed by his bearing aud piearance,
and was most anxious, etc., according to
the usual style. Tho writer would be hap
py to meet Mr. Vanity at such and such a
point at such a time. The notes were duly
sent, and the conspirators anxiously await
ed the result of the affair. Much to the
chagrin of the gentleman who accepted the
wager and the triumph of tbe other, every
one of tbe men to whom tbe notes were sent,
married and single, old and young, appear
ed at tbe proper point mX lite time specilicd.
