What Will Peintsvalley lb) I
On the 16th of Decembar the pee
pla of thia state are to decide whether
corruption shall continue to exist, or
whether hottest government shall
henceforth take its place. The pro
posed new Constitution strike- ;.t all
the evils that the honest people havi j
Complained ot for the last quarter ot a
ccutury, and the constitutional Con
vention has now framed au iustrumeut j
which will wipe out corrupt legislt
tiou, and prevent the wholesale and
retail plundering of the tax-payera of
the state. Where will the people of
Fennsvalley, of Brushvalley, and of
Centre county he found on Tuesday,
Dec. 16th, when this great aud iui|>or
taut questiou is to bo decided ? \Y ill
you be indifferent and remain at
home? Do you understand the itu
porUtuce of tlm iseue? Re#l the uew
Coastituliou, aud see luw clearly it
now is within the reach >f the people
to correct the abuses that they have
had imposed upou them for o many
year*. How can you b indifferent ?
Turn, out, then, fellow citizens, deuto
crata and republicans, talk to your
neighbor of the great importance of
the subject, the most important one
the citizen eau he called upon to vote
on, and see that you and they vote to
adopt the uew constitution.
Are you iu favor of having the As
sembly meet only ouce in two years,
thus saviag hundreds of thou.-amis ol
dollars, then come out on the lt>th,
and vote accordingly.
Are you iu favor of stopping that
great curee of our state, of which yt u
all have complained aud by which all
have been made to suffer, we mean
special legislation, then show your
consistency, by turning out on the
16th of December and voting for the
new Constitution, which totally for
bids the further practice of that busi
ness by our corrupt servants at liar
risburg.
Are you opposed to salary grab-,
then vote for the new Constitution, it
effectually shuts down upon that nu de
of stealing.
You say that you are opposed to
monopolies and the uujust powers and
privileges that corporations have ob
tained and exercised, then show your
linearity, people of Peanavalley and
of Centre county, bv coming to the
polls on Tuesday, Dec. 16, and casting
your vote for the new Constitution.
The ring aud all their wicked ad-
herents in the state, have combined to
defeat it, and it is the sacred duty of
honest mcu to combine on their side,
and put down the gang that ha* be
come rich by plundering the people.
Now is yeur lime to act. Let no
honest man fail to be at his post.
it is not sufficient that the constitu
tion lie adopted but it should be done
with such an overwhelming majori
ty, that the rogues aud thieves may
kaow in what numbers their masters
exist.
Nominate Good Men
That staunch democratic orgar,
the Pittsburg Poet, says:
The Tribune has an article going
to show that a party gains iu popular
esteem by nominating honest and
capable men for representative posi
tions, and clinchts its argument by
sundry proofs. We do wish that idea
woald get abroad in Pennsylvania, it
would do much to improve the nomi
nations of both parties. It is person
ally aunoyingjto an honest and intelli
gent citizen —be he Democrat or Re
publican—to bis called upon to vote
for some stupid scallawag for an im
portant office, and if he refuses to
meet the enmity of the dunderheads
who have secured a nomination as
well a B the ill will of the shrewd and
unprincipled wire pullers who have
aucceeded in placing numskulls upon
the ticket, because they can be wrap
ped around the fingers of their makers
like to much pack-thread.
The right way to do —and the sug
gestion is thrown out to both parlies —
is, when an unfit nomination is made
to scratch it most effectually; there are
precious few party tickets that would
not be amazingly improved by just
that opeiation. These remarks are of
very general application hut the shoe
may be used by any whom it fits
The new Constitution, by uinbing
smaller districts, will doubtless enn
ble both parties to make more accept
able selections of candidates. Roth
tides are largely open to improvement.
The election upon the new (Joiwti
tution, will he one of greatest itti|or
tanoe. Its adoption will not be a
triumph of democrat!- over repuhli
cam, or republicans over detnocruts,
or a triumph of any political party
over another, but it will be a grand
and enduring triumph of the honest
man of ail parties over the thieve#
and plundering rings iu ull parties.
Let no citizen miss the opportunity
of saying to bis children, that he v..ltd
for tbe new Constitution, it is an
act that every one cau leel proud
Of.

It it the most sacred duly of every
good citizen of Pennsylvania to vote
for the new Constitution on Tuesday
16th.
It occurs to us that if, instead of
starting a war, tbe energy, eloquence
and fhnds expended in that direction
were employed toward getting up a
national revival for the recantation of

Hon. Alex. II Stephen*
[Correspondence of the World.]
Washington, November 2~> —Hon.
j Alex. 11. Stephens, who will represent
the Eighth District of Georgia in ihe
j Forty third Congress arrived at the
National Hotel in this city las: night
j from his home Liberty Hall, Craw
fordville, Ga., via Augusta, where
Ihe remained a few days, lie bore
1 the fatigue of the journey much bet-
Iter than he had anticipated, and this
I morning, having had a goo I uight's
j rest,was quite uright and free from
pain. Mr. Stephens is afflicted with
rheumatism of the severest type,
wiiich has thrown one hip out of place
and though he can hobble about a
; room with the aid of a cane, he ha to
i use crutches ou the street. Physically
. lie is very feeble, but his intellect is
as clear as ever. He eats auinial
food very seldom and then spariugly,
ami cannot partake of milk, butter,
or eggs without suffering afterwards.
He is fearfully emaciated, and so
. colorless that his slender fingers seem
almost transparent. He lakes an
i active interest in his approaching
Congressional duties, but refers to
his hermit-like life as having left him
: in ignorance of many of the local
' changes which have taken place since
i his former residence in Washington.
| With all matters of public import
Mr. Stephens is ofcourse au courant,
as he has been a constant reader of
the daily journals. In looking over s
list of the members of the Forty
thiul Congres he has market] the
names of twenty us having beeu former
associates and friends. lie is auxious
to know to what committees he will
be assigned, and referred to having
st-tved on the Ways and Mean* and
Elections Committee having been
referred to as not including in the
last Congress even a solitary South
ern member, Mr. Stephens remarked
that that was a new committee to
him. He thought he should like to
serve on the Committee on Foreign
Affairs at this time, and no doubt
Speaker Blaine, of whose re-election
there can be little doubt, will assign
this veteran statesman to some posi
tion commensurate with his acknowl
edged ability.
Mr. Stephens has been literally
besieged with visitors, and frequently
expressed his surprise and gratifica
tion at the number of old frends and
acquaintances who had already
sought him out.
Tweed In the Penitentiary
Ntw York, November 30.—After
being taken to Blackwell's island
yesterday Tweed was asked the usual
questions by the recording clerk, to
which he answered that he was aged
fifty years, occupation a statesman,
uo religion. Jlut as his family are
protectant he was entered as a protest
ant. He weighs 2G3 pounds. He
was taken to the bath, then had his
head shaved in penitentiary style and
was nrraved in the full striped uni
form. lie had two Utters from New
York city physicians recommending
that he be placed in the hospital, hut
after an examination by the peniten
tiary physicians he was remanded to a
common cell like all other felons and
numbered thirty-four. The jacket
giveu him to wear is known at the
penitentiary as a larceny jacket. I lis
BJD stayed by him until he was led
a'-uy to his cell, when lie and a few
fri.uds and reporters left the island.

breach of good morals in handing

inig Ist be right or wrong, but any men
that *o believed ill the Uutli that they
were wilting to tlicrather than reneunce it
1 claimed the dignity of manhood and
would ulways live the ideal uf tbc world
for heroism. When Graco Darling ven
tured to save the perilled lives of those
stranger* to her she saved not only her
own life but tho race down for heroism in
] the w hole life of tho world. When Flor
ence Nightingale suffered tho raised the
whole circle of philanthropy and heroism,
and it never will go "down again. It came
at a time which brought many imitators ;
when our women in the war carried relief
along the whole lino'of suffering ho
thought they di! that bdau-e oi what
Florence Nightingale had tlonu ; and when
he saw the work now being done in jails
and prison* he saw the influence of How

single quality and lifted it up by suffering
without thrilling the world with enthusi
