Ceatra Hall, Pa-. March 8..'72.
Our ex-senator Lew Hall and sena
tor Harry White had a face-slappirg
at the Girard hotel, in Philadelphia, a
few days ago, arising out of the Me
Clurc-Gray case. The matter started
at the supper table. Hall, rad., the
attorney for McClure. charged that
White and the othar ada upon the
investigating committee intended ab
senting themselves #o as to leave the
committee without a quorum, and so
gain a delay to the close of the cSM"tt
White denied this. After Ua the lam
met in one of the sittiug roams, where
they came to angry words about it,
wheu White struck Hall In the face,
here friends interfered, and parted the
combatants.

Tha Lyoomiug Standard goes iu
favor of Charles It Uuckaiew. as the
next democratic candidate for Gov
ernor. He would be a leader ol
whom we might well feel proud. Mr.
Buekalew is one of Pennsylvania's
truest sons.
Thus far Geo. Hartranft ha the
roost delegates instructed in his favor,
&j the radical nominee for Gotrnwr.
Hartranft ia the man that bung Mrs.

In the State Senate a resolution

Party Government
We thia week again publish lb.-
rules unanimously adopted by tbe
Democratic Co. Convention, two
weeks ago, fur the government of the
party, in thia county, and shall give
them space hi the column* of the Kfc-
VORTEit, occasionally, iu the future,
so that all may become familiar with
them.
These rules do oat set aside auy
heretofore adopted, but are an addi
tion to such, and will baud be ratified
by the party, MI mass-couvculiou,
before they go into three —a massoui
ventiuo, for this purpose, wjlj be leld
at the Auri! court, uext.
These rules strike at every species
of corruption and rascality, in seeking
and obtaining nominations, and every
honest democrat will rojoice at their
aJoptioa. We ooly regret that they
were not in force be tore this. The his
tory of the past has prut'eu, that some
of tbe most loud mouthed politicians
in our party have been tbe most cor
rupt and unscrupulous, and if our
party wishes topcesarvr its good name,
ana prevent failing into disgrace, it
will see that these rules are strictly en-,
forced, as a terror to .the corrupt, who
have no craving hut for office and plun-j
siar, who hcaiute at am unfairness and ,
vim adopt ©vary corrupt wit bio
<iie inveuiiva pouers of unccrupu-!
luus politicians, to prostitute the party
to their selfish end*.
Ail p mtim w troubled with dis
honest men —and were the democrat
ic party tin exception, there wauld be
no jiecesUf fur the tA option vi such
rules.
Whatever complaint may have ex
isted heretofore, ou anoouut of unfair
oess in obtaining delegates uiul nom
inations, should be a"by gone," at a
remedy is now provided for auy bad
practices in the future. Let the de
mocracy of Centre county preserve her
purity, and give no countenance and
*up]kurt Ui uch M attempt to obtain
place by scheming, tricking, bri
bery, or forgery. Such members had
better he cut off iu the outset, aa they
witi bring disgrace, ruin, aud defeat
to the party in theeud, if they are tol
erated, and their corrupt practices
endorsed by our silence.

Enough j uw d< velopad fur us Pi
form,a very accurate judgement as to
the probabilities iti the Evans case.
We urged, a It tv days ago, when ws
heard that lis was' playing sick at
Philadelphia, that the couiwittM) un
pointed to investigate his case ami
proceed to Philadelphia, and thus'
dispose of every excuse on his part
for pot appearing for examination.
They did so, —aud suddenly th* sick
man, who could not possibly come In j
Harriaburg, flees to New York ! The j
very act is a coiifessiou of guilt. And j
Governor Geary is reported lo he as
sick as Evans. Well may ha be.
Already the evideuce points criminal- j
ly toward the Governor. We are I
glad to know that the Committee of
Investigation do not propose to he j
trifled with, and have applied to tbej
Governor for a requisition for his re-|
turn. Developments begin to be in

At our mtit county convenliou an
effort was made to iinlruct our dele

preinc bench. Mr. I. C. Mitchell i
made a motion to that effect, which
was just being carried bv acclamation,
when Mr. Orvis, who was a delegate,
arose, and positively declined, and
moved that the instructions he given
for Hon. J as. Thompson. Than Mr.
Orvis there is no abler ami more lil
ting lawyer in the state for this high
jtosiliou; he stands among the fore
most in hia profession. Clearheaded,
impressive itiiO logical, wo predict that
he has not yet passed the meridian of

are fiutguiuing him a state reputation,
which will Ixvotne wider as he grows
older. The Lycoming Standard, ed
ited by 11. L. Dieffoubaeh, in an arti

Judge Linu seems to have dropped

point of legal'learning he ranks with
the foremost lawyers in the Stale.
There is an acknowledged want of a
.certain kind of legal learning now <n
the bench —that which generally
comes withiu tire range of the couuirv
practitioner. An increase of Judgts
would best accommodate this want,
and if thiaia so arranged that the Dem
ocrats can retain Justine Thompson
aud yet elect another, there are none
who would "fill the bill" better than
John H. Orvis, Kq., of Centre coun

vigorous aud sturdy lugiciau and sub

man of great courage and most gener

the contest was so close that the bill

however, a party t|#e3tinp ( as leading

it was made from the Democratic side

With this fact before us, we Uiiuk

Carl Schurz.
The following graphic sketch af the
Minrouri Senator is given by a Wash

• Carl Hchurz, th# central figure of
the debate onjlhe "arms question,'! is
; not yet forty-three years old. ' He was
I born at Liblar, near Colonge, Gar

ted at the collegiate institution in
I Colonge, and afterwards at the Uni

, paper identified with the resolution of !
1843. He took pari in defence of
Kastudt, after which he Bed to Switz
erland. Subsequently he resided in
Paris and London, where he was a
teacher and a uewspapcr correspond
ent for three years. He emigrated to
j this coup try in 1852. In 1860 he was

Mr. Schura - I think amnesty a question
of a political character. The President
recommended that and amnesty should be
eiveti, and 1 am sure I voted for that
[Laughter ]
Mr Morton \Vken did th* Senator vote
for It T If 1 mistake not, when the vote
was taken on the Amnesty hill h* either
voted against l, or he did not vote on it at
all.
Mr. Schura —I voted in favor of amend
ment- that were calculated to strengthen
the Amnesty bill, and when finally the
bill wa* overburdened *o that it could not
pass in that form I did n>4 vote at all, and
th* Senator (M r. Morton) will remember
that he voted for all of the amendment*
which he wa* sure would kill th* amnesty
hill.
Mr Morton—l think the Senator voted!
to keep it in such a form, as that it would!
change the naturalixatmn laws.
Mr Schurfi—Th# Senator will not dl*-{
pute that I advocated the policy proposed'
by the l'rasident of ITnited State* In his!
message, and 1 think that In that
re*pert 1 showed ttiy*el! a far bet'er ad-'

Mr. Morton—Why, sir. that kind of)
thing will not do. I say that It i* very!
smart, but it is d<>dging]the mainjquaatinn \
The Senator I* for universal amnesty and !
he cannot say that the President, or the
Kepubliren parly, to In favor ofthaL The
Senator stands with the Democrats upon
the question uf amnesty, a* he doe* on all
others, so far a* 1 know.
Mr. Trumbu'l said that Mr. Morton's
remarks tended to place him (Trumbull)
In a false position. H • had itated distinct
ly that he was in favor of the amnesty bill
as it came from the H >u*e. and he had vo
ted against ail amendment- because be
found they wauled to defeat tbe hill.
Mr. Morton -How did the Senator know
it would defeat th# hillV Two or three
additional votes would have saved the Am
nesty bill with all the amendment* on it,
hut that Amnesty bill was not a party
measure, and when th* Senator from Ml*
•out! (Mr Schura) refer* to that bill a* the
only measure on which he has voted with
the Republican party since the first Mon
day in December, 1970, it is confessing
that upon all other questions for th# last
fifteen months he has voted sol* wi'.hltis

Mr. Schurx—l can toll th* Sanator

Mr Morton—The Senator did Vote in f-.

Mr. Morton said that the President had
acted on the amendment offered to an ap

woulq, ft,' that Mr.

M r. Schurx said he had oaly quoted from
