EBENSBURC. PA.,
FRIDAY, - - - - JUNE 17, 1S81.
Tuk passage by the late Legislature
of tliis State of a law to prevent In i!iei
and fraud at nominating elections, is an
instructive as well as humiliating com
mentary on the crooked ways of oDice
seekers and their friends. If it is hon
estly enforced it will prove to be a broad
side against all corrupt practices at pri
mary elections, since it strikes at the
toot of the evil. As the Democracy of
this county propose to nominate candi
dates for county offices next Septemler
under the Crawford County system, we
will publish the law next week.
The daily balloting in the joint con
vention of the Xew York Legislature
for successors to Conkling and Piatt i
had not resulted in a choice up to "Wed
nesday I;-t. The papers of both parties
in the State are calling upon the Legis-
Jature to put an end to the fruitless con
test by a final adjournment, thus permit- j
ting the people to adjust the dispute
when they elect a new Legislature next
November, and that will most probably
be the outcome of the bitter warfare
now carried on in the Empire r?tate be
tween the rival houses of Garfield and
Conkling.
The doings of the Democratic County
Committee which met in the Grand Jury
room on Monday last, wi'.l be found pub
lished elsewhere. It will be seen that
the Committee reversed the action ta
ken at its meeting in February last, and
deckled that the Crawford County Sys-
tern of nominating candidates for coun- i
ty officers shall hereaftei prevail in this
county. In taking this important step
we are very confident tint the Commit
tee lias reflected the wishes of an over
wJielming majority of the Democracy of
the county, who have long desired a
chanire of system and are anxious to try
what virtue there is in the Crawford
county plan, to be supplemented with
something better if it fails to give satis
faction. "We believe also that postpon
ing the primary elections until the last
Saturday in September, at least for the
present year, will meet witli general ap
proval. We will refer hereafter to the
rules adopted by the Committee to en
force the new system, which will also
be found published in connection with
the other proceedings.
"Viikx the lower bianch of the Xev
York Legislature meton yesterday week,
Mr. J.radlov, a Conkling member from
the western part of the state, rising to
u question of privilege, stated that on the
previous evening he had been paid
4." mi to vole for Dt-pew, (one of the Gar
field candidates for Senator), and that
he had placed the money in the Speak
er's hands immediately afterwards. The
Sjeaker said he had received from Uridy
a roll of bills amounting in value to the
sum named, and had the money then in
in his pocket. A committee of investi
gation was a pointed and IJradley ap
leared before it in the evening and swore
that the money had been given to him
bv State Senator Sessions, who belongs
to the Garfield faction. After l.radley
was through. Sessions took the stand
and swore that although he had con
versed with JJradley about Conkling and
Piatt, 1h- had never given him a dollar.
Of course one of these two men commit
ted deliberate perjury. Conkling s
friends pronounce the affair part of a
corrupt scheme to buy up some of his
Mipiorters, while the other side de
nounces it as a conspiracy on the part of
the Conkling men to break the ranks of
their opponents by falsely charging them
with bribery and corruption.- The com
mittee is still pursuing the investigation.
It is an iiiterest:ng case, showing, as it
does, one faction of the God and moral
ity party in that State charging the lead
ers of the other faction with trying to
brilie a legislator, and this latter faction
a sorting that the other is guilt; of con
spiracy and perjury. Did Sessions try
to bribe iiradiey, or has IJradley com
mitted ierjury ? "Which is true and
which the liar r"' is the puzzle to be sol
ved by the committee.
A very otrong pressure is being bro't
to bear on the Governor to induce him ,
to veto the Judicial Apportionment bill, ;
but we hardly think i-. will succeed. It
is a most shameless measure and will j
forever be a reproach to the Legislature J
that enacted it. Ik-fore the adoption of !
the new constitution in 1ST:, the num
ber of Common Pleas Judges in the
.State was forty-five, which was increas
ed by the apportionment of 174, to seventy-three
with Five Orphans'1 Court
Judges. If the new bill is signed it will
add fifteen more, running the number
up to ninety-three. If this business of
making new Judicial districts and of
creating additional law Judges for dis-
trkts now in existence continues to in- j
crease as it has beeu doing since 1S73, !
the time will come when men claiming
the title of "Judge'' will le almost as ,
numerous in the State as "Generals"' I
after the late civil war. Uiidc r the bill, j
if signed. Cambria will become a separ- j
ate district and be entitled to elect her j
own President Judse. This, however, i
n no fault of the Legislature, but the
fault of the constitutional convention,
and judging from the mania for addi
tional Law Judges which prevailed at
Harrisburg during the late session, and
the facility with which they were obtain
ed, especially where they were not need
ed, it is not too bold a flight of the im
agination that before the apportionment
of l'.'l, Cambria will have an additional
Judge learned in the law, although the
present two weeks term of Court oc
cupied butfvurjJiiys, three days last week
and Monday of the present week. The j
creation of a district by the new bill out
of Fulton and Adams counties Is an in
excusable outrage, and how the Legis
lature could so stultify itself merely to
please A. J. Colburn, ,1 member of the
House from Somerset county, who wants
to be elected .Tudjje in the Somerset and
Bedford district, but isn't fit for the
jplace and will never be elected, is one of
the mysteries of legislation which no
sane man can understand. The Gov
ernor has thirty days from Thursday of
last wfck within which to sign or veto
the bill.
Ptate Tr eascrer Bctler enforced
the opinion furnished him by Attorney
General 1'altner about two months ago,
by refusing to pay the members of the
Legislature, when it Cnally adjourned
on yesterday week, more than one thous
and dollars each, together with mileage
and the amount allowed to a member
for stationery. This action of the
Treasurer cut down the salar of each
member to the extent of five hundred
dollars, that being the aggregate pay for
the fifty days of the session in excess of
one hundred, the Attorney General
holding the opinion, as expressed in his
letter to the Treasurer, that the act of
1874 allowing a per diem of ten dollars
for fifty days beyond one hundred was
unconstitutional. The members of the
Legislature resisted this unexpected ac
tion of the Attorney General, as" it was
perfectly natural for them to do, claim
ing that the fifty days clause in the act
of 174 was not unconstitutional that
its validity had leen recognized and
acted on by every State Treasurer for
seven years, and that if it even was in
conflic t with the constitution it was not
the province of the Attorney General,
but of the Supreme Court, to decide that
question. Ve did not believe, and so
stated at the time, that Palmer could
sit down in his office and declare an act
of the Legislature unconstitutional, with
all the effect that the word implies, but
we believed lie was correct in the view
lie had taken of the question, aud we
think so still. The war of words over
this disputed question between the At
torney General and the Legislature has
been intensely bitter and in many re
spects anything but creditable. The
Legislature through a committee of six
of its members, three from each House,
will now commence proceeeings by ap- j
plying for a mandomus in the Dauphin j
j county Court to compel the State Treas
! ury to pay the members the disputed
; .VjO, and in that way the question will
I get before the Supreme Court for its
i descision. No harm can result to the
members, or to the State from these pro
! ceeding so far as we can see. Jf the
! Court sustains the views held by the
I members, the State Treasurer will pay
' them, but, on the other hand, if it en
i dorses Palmer's "opinion" they will
then lie placed in the position of trying to
J get from the public treasury money to
; which the constitution, as interpreted
I by the Supreme Court, declares they are
! not entitled; ami purely no member of
I the late Legislature, except a Ilepubli
! car; "rooster'' from Philadelphia, would
j recklessly assert so baseless a demand.
' If tliis question of legislative pay is now
definitely settled, as it will be, future
i sessions will not. be annoyed by its dis-
cussion and mu; h valuable time lost as
was the case with the one that has just
closed.
G r.AXT has returacd from Mexico,
; having succeeded in getting certain rail
; road projects in that country pertaining
I to a company organized in Xefl- York,
! of which hi J;s President, placed on a s1
, id foundation, and last week in St. Louis
expressed his views at some length to a
newspaper iepn ter in regard to Conk
i ling's do'vnfall at Albany, Garfield's
, treatment of the New York "boss,"1
Illaine's deviltry in the cabinet and oth
; er kindred matters. He thinks that
Conkling is one of the greatest men this
country has ever produced, and that his
treatment by the New York Legislature
; is ungrateful and unpardonable, lie
i was asked his opinion of Sidiurz, and
j answered: ""Well, Carl Scliurz will draw
! an official salary without earning it with
i"rc "'al ofKeieiicy than any man I
know of. lie is a failure anywhere you
put him,'' as well as some other things
equally derogotory to the 'Flying Dutch
man.' Grant has a lively recollection
of the severe blows dealt by Schnrz
when he was in the Senate against the
general corrupt ion of his administration,
and esjiecially against his jet scheme of
acquiring the island of San Dominago.
Grant don't owe Schnrz anything ioliti
cally, and must theiefore be expected to
say evil things about him. When Grant,
however, charges Schnrz with drawing
"an official salary without earning it,"
he forgot that his own son. Fred, after
he graduated at AVest Point, went to
"Washington, where he opened a banking
house with John Sherman's nephew as
his partner ; that he acted as master of
ceremonies at the White House, staying
there month after month and never join
ing his regiment, brtall the time draw
ing his pay as an army officer. In addi
tion to this, when Grant was making his
tour through Europe and Asia, this
j hopeful son joined him, having been
granted leave of absence, traveled with
him by sea and land, and returned with
him, all the time drawing his "official
salary without earning it." No gradu
ate of West Point ever cost the country
half as much as Fred Grant, and his
father knowing, rs he does, all about it,
ought to be ashamed to prefer a charge
as unfoundetl as the one be makes
against Schnrz.
The refusal of the State Senate to
pass Hie Free I'ipe bill after it bad pass
ed the House, will enable the Standard
Oil Company to continue its monojxily

pro:it of many hundreds; of thousand

LEGISLATIVE FRAUDS.
i Our Pennsylvania system of legislative
! fraud has heroine terribly degrading. It is
; not strange that the large majority of char
acterless men who misrepresent and shame
i Phiiadelpuia should not hesitate to defraud
j the State, hut it dors seem strange that a
i crave Philadelphia Senator, President of the
j Senate, Mr. Newell, should be entity of mak
; ing tne State pay a nominal officer who does
no duty. It was degrading enough for Uep
I rescntative McCleery to falsely vouch for
, two nien and aid them in obtaining money
from the treasury on forged receipts, but it
' is .-.till more disgraceful for Senator Newell,
j President of the Senate .luring the late ses
, sion, todefraird the Mate in an equally dis
j graceful manner, Mr. Newell appointed a
. man to perform certain duties in the Senate
who loliowed lus tinny lanor in tins city mir
ing the session and drew the nay of a'clerk
' at Harrisburp. As the 7"oeitriithful!ysays :
. "It is to be expected that some of the utterly
disreputable licprcsetitatives from tliis city
: would play such tricks to defraud the. State,
i but is not to be- expected of a Senator who
: was honored with the highest position in that
'. bo:-."
PHILADELPHIA .TCDOES' NEPOTISM.
Philadelphia Judges have their little pri
i vate axes to trrind and in their appointing
j power help their relatives. The Board of
j Revision, all of whom are appointed by the
tions. J

Hinges, is a rien pasture nem ior rucir reia-
tuige A llison had lus Prut tier in as

brother there now as Assessor. Judge
! Pierce has a relative in the Hoard, and Judge
! liriggs had his son in as Assessor till he wns
I transferred to the office of the 1'iothonotary
of the Court of Common Plea. Philadelphia
: Judges keep the same old ring in power all
! the time. A Judge's friend, when he g?ts
; into office under his appointment, stays there,
j and don't care 'a snap of jour linger for the
j people, but sneers and defies them, for as
' long as he has a friend at Court he can lie de
i liaut. In the appointment of Stokely as
! Park Commissioner, in place of the lamented
I Col. Scott, the Judges have rescued Stokely
; from oblivion, but have not covered them
selves wit h glory.
' TIRED OK OLD HACKS.
! The people of Philadelphia ore becoming
tired old hacks and want new men for pub
j Ho office! s. They think it is about time that
; ex-Governor Pollock, ex-tiovernor Hartranft,
A ppraiser Moore, McManes, Lanes, Bingham,
and others who have held orhces for the last
; twenty years, should "step down nud out"
s and give new men a chance. Thirty years
of power has made our Republican officials
so corrupt that the people want a change.
; The rotating a man from one office to aiioth
; er is wearing the Republican pfcrty out in
' this city. The people are beginning to think
' that old corrupt hacks should retire and give
some decent, honest- men a chance. Power
is stealing gradually from the many to the
few. The whole management of Philadel
phia is not i-II'-publican and should not be
i tolerated in a free country, where the people
: are the source of all political power.
. DON'T liEI.Iir.YK THE HATCH!'.! STORY, P."YS.
Remembering the sad mortification and in
: dignat-i.ni of the h.mented I.ii;eo!n. myseif
' ami other poor good hoys- w ho used to read
i Weenis' Riieof Washington and pomh-r over
the intercsliiig stories of the hatchet, and

i walk," and other stories, when we learned
i that they were all Munchausenisms, I feel it
j my duty to warn the good little boys of the
! present day not to allow themselves to be
i excited about the late hatchet story, w hich
! is to the effect that the present oecup-.Mit ot '
: the farm on which the ' Father of his Conn

j ry tree, and piesentcd it to the. Regents at -;
tne last annual session of the Monr.t Vernon
i Radh's' Association. Rven at tliis late day :
I feel indignant- when 1 think of how cruelly
deceived were the lamented Lincoln, myself
and other good Mttle troys, who read with '
: avidity and pondered oveMbe slot ies about '
g.d little eorg Washington. It was ex- '
ceeitir.gly iiiortip. ing in our old days to find ;
. out that the old fiddling, preaching. Is ing !
. Weems had deceived us. The whole George '

; hatchet-cherry tree business was ail fiction, j
, JeTge Washington's name never grew in a
i flower-garden, nor did tieorge ever detnoral

George Washington never had a hatchet. I
OKKICIAT.LAW-KKEAKF.RS. j
The post -office officials at Washington have j
themselves violated two postal laws in order .
to punish the violators of another postal law. ;
It is evident that in the Carmichuel case at ;
! Washington the post-office officials have vi- '
i olated the supreme, law of the land, but as a !
breach of the Constitution is not an uncom- '
' mon ttiing nov-a-day no weight will be at
, tacbed to this last official violation. In the ;
I eye of the law a postal can! is equally sacred '.
' from scrutiny with a letter, being a part and
very large part or tne correspondence of
; thcpeoule. Section .'1S0.T of the lii ited States
; Ilevised Statutes is sinipl a penal statute.
; It makes the sendinc of improper postal
cards illegal, and provides punishment for
! the offender, but it neither requires nor ati
i thorizes any one to see that the offence, is
! not committed. The fourth amendment to
the Constitution aflinns the riejht of the peo
ple to be secure in their persons, houses, pa
; pers and effects against unreasonable search
es and seizures, and whatever constitutes a
1 correspondence, whether in an envelope or
j not, and whether sealed or unsealed, is con
1 side red private, and it is designed to be pro
! tected fiom intrusion, espionage or superri
i sion. The oflicials of tha Washington post
, otlice delibvratelj abstracted a postal card
; from the mail and violated a Uevised Statute
i of the Constitution . If the post-nfliee offi
j cials have a right to nrrest the transit of
i postal cards, they have the same right to
I stop letters. The abstracted postal card
j was the property of Senator Vance, and its
j taking was a larceny. In this Carmichacl
j case the Washington post -office officials have
I violated two postal laws.

The republican newspapers of the country
: are irying uieir very nest to maxe a niarKet
for the dui.ghtv old outlaw. Jeff Davis' book.
The old reliel is doubtless well nlenserl with
I the prominence the Republican press is civ-
ing to him and his book. Old JefT does not
care for abuse nnd loves money, which be
needs badly. His hook, -'The Rise and Fall
of the Confederate Government," is out, and
without intending it the "trooly Ion" papers
are doing its author a great favor in bring
ing it into prominence and largely increas
ing its sale. Davis' book, like all the other
I existing literature of the late civil war, is a
: tissue of personal, partisan, prejudicial
i trash. Injustice, prejudice and misinforma
tion is intruded in all the histories of that
: subject. Adam R-adeau, who has lived on
the breath of Gen. Gnnt for the last twenty
years, and whom Grant pensioned upon the
Aaierican government in London for the ex-
i Press Purpose ot settine- forth rant's m .
tary services, may be characterized as the
a mui isaaeau being tne tlnel wno stole and
destroyed the records of the Btiell court mar
tial. Certain contributions to the history of
the late war, vital to a complete and intelli
gible anderstanding of the campaigns of the
various commanders, were tampered with in
the interest of General Grant. Radeau's
story of Grant is a tissue ot personal, parti
san prejudice, intended to deceive the pres
ent generation nnd mislead coming ones.
For eight years Radeau was placed.in charge
of the archieves and documents of great
value to the future historian were stolen and
either destroyed or removed to where no
trace can be found of them. Indignant pro
tests should come from every quarter against
such mischievous fstuff as that of Grant's
war associate, who has for twenty years been
pensioned on the government for the avowed
and express purpose of extolling Gen. Grant
and diminishing the standard of other abler
officers and belter men. It is tho duty of
honest American citizens who have any love
for the truth of historj to denounce all vi
cious ex-parte narratives such as that of the
irresponsible biographer, Radeau. It wi'.l be
years before the story of ihe civil war will be
honestly and truthfully told.and it is the duty
of parents to guard their children from the
reading of malicious partisan stuff nvw mak-
ing up the so called history of our late civil
strife "the literature of the war."
"THE ANDROSCOGGIN GIANT."
I bave just finished reading a hiory of
the remarkable career of Hannibal Hamlin,
l known as the "Androscoggin Giant. I fits ;
sketohVif his Pfe, which I find in the New j
i York Sunday Tim", makes him the most dis- j
I tinff-iished connecting link between the great j
! statesmen of the pas, ami of the present, j
j As I write my feelings are strangely blended I
' with jov and sorrow with joy, that we had ,
: fifty ve'arsof Grant's official life, and with J
! sorrow that his official days have ended. My j
' great sorrow at his retirement is, however, ;
somewhat mollilied with the pleasing reflee- j
i tion to know that he retires in a happy state ;
' of min. I, and that he does not let go of the i
: ptihlie steal with an empty stomach. It is a
! great 'satisfaction to know that he retires
i without regret, and that "after years' dili-
gent search found what he sought." n the '
iid of March last, as the Giant sat for the
: last time in "Fog Bank" writing to his son, j
he said : "I mn a happy man. In the lan- i
; cuage of the sacred poet, I may say : 'This :
I is the dav I long have sought. " !
The place that the Androscoggin Giant oc- ;
! cupied never, never can be filled. Men may .
'come, and men may go, but there nevtr, I
j never will again be heard of a man of such
patriotism, honesty, conscientiousness, fidel- ,
. ity and unaffected, unselfish worth. That
tail form, invariably clad in a rusty black
' swaliow-tniled coat," which was never known ;
to le supplemented bv an overcoat, will for- i
ever and forev er be missed by the visitors,
! to the national eapitol who knew in him, the
! link which bound together the days that are
' "one ami the time that is. It must ever lie ;
remerulored that when the Androscoggin i
i Giant first became a high functionary, the ,
j Union was composed of only twenty-seven ,
: States since which time eleven States have .
i been added onlv two less than the number ;
i foii'dit for and which established the Repub- ,
! lie." When I reflect upon the fact, that dur- j
! in" the Androscoggin Giant's public official ,
! life the population "of the country has grown
I from 2 ikhi o( hi to lr.iiKi.tmO. to .10,000,000, an i
increase of ;t.i,OoO,ooo, or ten times the num
ber of people who declared and w rested their
j iiKlepender.ee from Great Britain. I am over
' whelmed with admiration of the Giant's
! great statesmanship. When I reflect, too,
' that during the Giant's official life 4: 000,000
' of chattel slaves were made American free
i men, I am simplv astounded. When I am
i told that by reason of the Androscoggin
j Giant's lone efforts our country has grown
from a third rate power to the foremost 11a
! tion of the world, I mil completely dumb
j founded. When 1 call to mind the thrilling
scene when the Giant Hamlin called upon
' the "Monster" Stanton to convey to him the
I glnd tidings that President Lincoln had au
j thorized the organization of regiments of
J colored troops, upon the hearing of which
f jovful news, the "Monster" Secretary of
; W'arat once threw iside;his usual scrowl and
I gruffness of manner, ai'd his real deep, im
, pulsive feelings soon came to the surface,
; while great tears, as large as sheep drops,
! welled. up in his eves and rolled over hisjworn
' face, lie ejaculated, "Thank God for this!
! Thank God tor this !" anil throw ing his arm
j around the messenger's nerve, the "M011-
I V
( stet," ami Giant both convulsively crieii ,
! aloud with all the earnestness of their deep, j
strong natures : "Thank God for this 1
' Thank God lor this!" My poor old heart .
j nearly bursts. O, how thankful we ought to
i be that our country is biest with the "A11
! droscoggin Giant 1" Without, him what
i would have become of our country? The
j American people should thank their stars
: that on a blight summer day seventy-two
Years ago Anna Livingstone, wife of Cyrus
I llamiiu, away down east in the valley of An
droscoggin, was safely made the mother of
a big, healthy boy bany, whose advent was
j welcomed with great rejoicing imiong the

phenomenon was witnessed upon 'lie bay

about r, o'clock in th c veniug, half a mile or
more from shore, where the ntter is probab

thirty feet in front of the boat the water
i appeared in great commotion. IIasii!ytur:i
ing the boat they rowed away a safe distance,
; when the water rose in jets ten or twelve feet
into the air, throwing up huge pieces of mud
'. avd all manner of substances from the bot
1 torn. For neatly half an hour t his singular
: commotion continued. Occasionally the
! water would 'subside Heart.- to the level of
' the surface, and then would suddenly shoot
into the air again, all the time sectl.ing And
' boiling like a huge cauldron, fifteen or twen

safe distance at which the spectacle was wit

A Pre. Flood. The recent rains did con
siderable damagu in many portions of the
country. At Pittsburg the Allegheny and
Monongahela were swollen to flood height,
