We observe from the movements of
the radical* in this county, that they in
tend to concentrate their forces against
our nominee for Treasurer, D. A. Musser,
and defeat him if possible, seeing no
hope of defeating any of the other gen
tlemen ujion the ticket. Already stories
are being circulated against Mr. Musser.
Any on? knowingthat gentleman, knows
that hia character is without blemish,
he hails frotu one of the oldest and most
respected families in our valley, has
never been an office seeker, is compe
tent, responsible, and will leave the of
fice of Treasurer, to which he will be
elected in spite of the machinations of
the enemy, with every cent of the peo
ple's money faithfully accounted for.
.Mr. Musser hears the reputation of a
christian gentleman, and is one of the
moat useful cilisens of Penn township.
Iemocrats owe him every vote, on ac-
count of his past fidelity, and every hou
est republican can Tote for him under
♦ the full assurance of voting for an hon
est man.
A statement of the affairs of Duncan.
Sherman A Co, has been prepared for
the public, from which it appears the
liabilities of the firm are f4,572,12S and
the assets 12,112,740. This statement is
not official, and can be taken as repre
senting the approximate amount. It
has been prepared to answer many in
quiries regarding the probable condition
of affaire and with special care to avoid
making a better show ing than may be
• justified. All doubtful assets have hoen
reduced or stricken out. The amount of
liabilities given on account of travelers,
credits and circulars is 12,372,952.
The greatest sham that ever entered
Centre connty, is Bill Brown's '-Indus
trial Advocate." It is a grand foreign
humbug, got up entirely at Ilarrisburg.
with a few local squibs from our county,
sent down by mail, to give it a home ap
pearance. This Advocate has no office,
not a single type, nor sheat of blank pa
per in Centre county. And this is the
organ of a set of conspirators to mislead
democrats, abuse Judge Orvis without
cause, and oast its slurs at the Reporter
because it is outspoken in its sentiments
and does not wink at ringn and cliques.
Anti-treating societies are now being
formed in some parts of the eouutry.
Cincinnati and Pittsburg have organisa
tions of the kind. The following is the
pledge:
I pledge myself not to treat any per
son or persons; nor to accept a treat of
any spirituous or Malt Liquors, Wine or
Cider, in any public place, where the
same is kept for sale and money jwtid
therefor.
A ''Democrat of Gregg" asks us the
names of the senatorial conferees and
also who moved to make Mr. Alexander
chairman of the convention. As we
omitted these two items in our report of
the proceedings we furnish them here
in answer to our correspondent, and for
the information of others. The conferees
are J. P. Gephart, G. W. M'Gaffey and
T. M. Hall. The gentleman who pro
posed Mr. Alexander for Chairman was
T. M. Hall. We desire to say here that
communications criticising some of the
doings of the convention, can not conduce
to the harmony of the party, now that
the nominations are made, hence
"Haines," "Democrat of Gregg" and
"Bellefonte" have been laid aside.
We print in this week's issue the
charge of Judge Orvis in the Clearfield
riot cases. The document should be
read and studied by all, as it presents in
a clear and concise manner the law
touching upon strikes, with which all
should be conversant. In some quarters
Judge Orvis has been censured, by per
sons unfriendly to him, for doing his
duty in the matter. The charge should
be studied by all lair minded men who
love the peace and good order of society
and who desire to be protected in their
rights, and will be profitable reading for
those who would incite to strikes and
rioting.
Out of 43,000 people, men, women and
children, in the town of Fall River,
Massachusetts, 15,000 arc idle in conse
quence of a "strike" ordered by their
leaders. The great body of the opera
tives, who are already beginning to suf-
Jer the pangs of poverty, deny that they
are "responsible" for the suspension dep
recate its continuance and denounce its
instigators, and yet have not the cour
age to throw off their yoke and return to
work. The next step for the working
people of this country will be, not to or
ganize for protection against their em
ployers, but for defense against their
self-assumed leaders.
Disastrous storms have been sweeping
over Germany and Switzerland as well
as elsewhere in Europe. The Cologne
Zeitong reports that the vineyards in
numerous places have been irretrieva
bly ruined by the deluge of the latter
part of may, which not only destroyed
all hope of this year's harvest, but wash
ed away the soil, leaving nothing but
bare rock or a substratum of clay. On the
9th of July the town of Melsungen was
inundated by a violent rain-storm, which
also flooded the adjoining town of Gen
anngen, destroying houses ami bridges
andjheaping their debris upon the rail
way track. Shortly afterwards llaren
was visited by a hail storm, accompa
nied With terrific thunder and lightning,
the hailstones measuring five or six
inches in circumference and breaking
thousands of window-panes. On the
same date, July 9, an unprecedented
bail storm laid waste the entire harvest
for several miles around Geneva. Kitch

century old were snapped like reeds ; in
the city chimneys were demolished and
Several houses unroofed, whilst shatter

swi IATIOSOF ri'BUVI.ASI*s
l*uring the last fourteen years of Re
publican rule, says the Sun, Congress
voted away the most valuable portion of
the public domain to railroad corjairw
tions and in other ways. Of the vast
empire which was regarded a* one of the
great sourev>s of national wealth, and as
a permanent attraction for immigration,
there remains hut a comparatively small
part for settler*.
By a system of corrupt legislation
without parallel, these rich lands were
distributed among speculate** and mon
opolists, who, by means of the t'redit
Mobilier and other fraudulent combina
tion*, shared the spoil* with Senator*
and Representatives that served as their
agent* and instruments in the plunder.
Nor is this all. The Department of the
Interior, under Delano, has augmented
the wealth of these corporation* to the
extent of millions of acres by venal de
cision* against all precedent, which not
only ro-opatmd condemned and spurious
claims, but have driven thousands of
poor settlers from the homesteads ac
quirtd by law and laK.r, for the benolit
of infamous Ring*.
The popular belief that the supply of
public land is unlimited, is a fallacy
which cannot be too soon dispelled. Of
late years the olhciai mparts have been
manipulated in the inU'rest of the rail
roads that enjoy immense grants, in or
der to produce at; impression that they
did not materially affect tin; large terri
tory open for settlement.
But even sujierticia! examination
proves these statements to l>e interest
ed, and, by their suppression of impor
taut data, to be worthless as a basis for
estimating the quantity of good laud
available for sale and settlement. A
few ugly facts may wcil arrest attention
ou this imjK'rtant subject, aud cause
Congresa to halt before granting anoth
er acre without a public reason that w ill
stand the severest scrutiny.

Some of these quantities are iuvf*sa

we have reduced the tigure- assumed by
others, so that there may be no charge
of exaggeration. Less than a thousand
millions of acres constituted the capital
of the United States in virgin land be
fore it was touched by legislation. Let
us now see how it has been disposed of.
The task is difficult, because the reports
of the General I .and Office seem to be
made up with a view of concealing rutlw
erthan of exposing the truth :

Allowing a large margin for errors of
the quantities estimated in the area of
the United States, ami deducting the
foregoing figures from the total, and
there is serious cause for reflection in re
gard to the future of the public domain.
The great corporations and monopolists
have become the proprietors of the soil,
and before many years pass away the
immigrants who seek the West for a
home will be at the mercy of the specu
lators, who by corrupt legislation have
been enabled to seize a great empire and
to hold it on their own terms.
Even now along ail the lines of the
trans-continental railways, built by sub
sidies of land and money obtained from
Congress, the immigrant is forced to buy
upon the conditions imposed by these
Kings. And we are only at the l>egin
ning of evils to flow front this source,
for as soon as the remaining lands that
have not been grabbed are occupied by
settlement, then the power of these com
binations will be felt more severely.
After voting more than two hundred
and twenty-five millions of the best
lands to Ames, Jay Cooke, and others,
and allowing a large portion of the
grants made to colleges and for improve
ments to be stolen, the Republicans all
of a sudden have raised the cry of stop
thief. The Ohio Convention started out
with this declaration :
"We demand that the public domain
shall be scrupulously reserved for occu
pancy by actual settlers,"
Home of the men who were active in
passing that resolution had become rich
by the legislation which turned over
"the public domain" to plunderers who
bought Republican majorities by whole
sale, and paid for their votes in scrip
and in greenbacks. When there is noth
ing left to steal, then the Delano*, Sher
mans, and the whole tribe of Ohio job
bers become virtuous and "scrupulous"
about what does not exist, just as they
are for specie payments, after having
created the paper bnrrency and exjtand
ed or contracted it to suit their specula
lations.
The Radical press are making them
selves happy at last over the fact that
State Treasurer Mackey has published a
statement of where hisdepoeits are, with
the certificate of the Kinking Fund ('oni
missioners that there is no defalcation
in the Treasury, or words to that effect.
Though Democrats never charged a de
falcation, these journals were so frighten
ed that they jump for joy at the thought
that it was not shown by the statement.
Of course the Treasurer can fix up his
balances for the occasion, but the fact
that he denied the Legislative Com
mittee the right to see his books and his
securities leaves bis own statement sub
ject to the suspicion that it was for the
occasion, and thai he was not ready to
make it when the C'oMnitt.ee were on
hand, nor was he willing that ttie Com
mittee should see his books ami securi
ties, And again, there is no removing
of the grav# doubts existing on account
of the passage of a Jgw making it no lon
ger the duty of the Treasure/* to publish
1 monthly statements of his deposits, &c,
Tltat law was passed for rascally pur
pose*. It ha* no doubt served its pur
pose* so far, and will *o continue. This
the people believe. Mackcy has made
one statement. If that law hadn't been
regaled he would have been
Compelled to make them monthly if be
had obeyed the law. But that law was
in the way, and by smuggling a bill
through the legislature it was repealed.
No act of explanation at this time can
remove the suspicion* of the people, for
it is their settled lielief that the manage
ment of the State Treasury atfiur* have
lieen very corrupt the funds used to
delwvuch the people ami carry elections
and nothing short of a removal of
the Treasury ling will satisfy the public
demand.

The t'cntn) Hank is ran by Tommy
Steel, City Treasurer. C. 1.. Magee, and

in the Central Hank. Nearly, or quite
half a million of dollars of the State
funds have been used for years to run
thrae banks, and Mr. Maekey has regu
larly pocketed his share of the profits
which could not have amounted to less
than foO,QUO per year.
Kemble's bank also gets a large por

light upon these dark ami devious trans
actions. in thfl commonwealth it iare
garded as a crime of the highest grade to
tell the truth al.oaf dishonest official- in
a public journal.
The Cincinnati Gazette has received
special dispatches from 140 county scats,
where the late llood occurred, and the
prospects are much better than expect
ed. Wheat and oats have suffered. Of
the former two-tiurds liftjie crop will be
saved. Of corn there mill be more tuau
the average crop, owing to the increase
of acreage. Potatoes will yield largely,
although some few fanners complain of
the rot. At most poiuts the yield w ill
be over tim average. The hay crop will
not fall short of the axa-agc ill quantity,
but the quality is not as good as us
ual.
MOR<;A\, THE MASOS.
MI RLOW W RKI) RUM>I< IF HI KNOW S or
THE ABIUCTIOX.
Mr. ThuHow Weed w rite- a- follows
to the N. Y. Herald :
That no "adequate cause" existed fr
the murder of Morgan w ill occur to oth
er miuds as it did to our-. No such in
tention existed in the minds of those
who were connected with his abduction.
It seems due to the question in iu pros
cnt aspects to say that what originated
in a desire to suppress a book which it
was known Morgan was writing pro
gressed step by step, Incoming more and
intricate, until it assumed asjtcct- unfor
seen by all the individuals who became
involved in it.
After Morgan's manuscripts were foil
ed at lialaviu it became necessary, in the
judgment of those concerned, to
rate him from Miller, his publisher.
That object was effected by Morgan's ar
rest on a charge of larceny, on which he
was taken to t'anandaigua and contined
in the Ontario county jail. Here assur
ances were given by a Canadian that if
Morgan was taken to Niagara, Captain
Brandt, an Indian chief, would provide
a home for him in a far nest fur compa
ny. Confiding in this assurance Mor
gan was secretly conveyed from t 'anan
daigua to Fort Niagara, a distance of 11*0
miles. By this time many of the most
influential citizens of Canaudaigua,
Rochester, Clarkaon. Gaines, Lock port
and Lewiston were necessarily let into
the secret. After Morgan was confined
in the fort those w ho brought him there
crossed over the river to attend the
meeting of a lodge, by which it was ex
pected that Morgan would l>e received
and sent west, but after long and anx
ious consideration the Canadian lodge
refused to become parties to, or compli
cated in the affair. This occasioned se
rious embarrassment. They could not
go further, and it seemed dangerous to
recede. Two or three days of bewilder
ing anxieties brought a large number of
men high in the order to Lewiston,
w here a Knights Templar encampment
was inaugurated. All knew thut Mor
gan was confined in the magazine at
Fort Niagara, and all were greatly dis
quieted by that knowledge. While at
the table, after dinner, the chaplain and
orator of the day gave a sentiment so
significant that all eyes and thoughts
were turned towards Fort Niagara. Im
mediately afterwards Colonel King, as
stated in my letter, was driven in a car
riage to the Fort, Accompanied by John
Whitney, of Rochester; Mr. Chubbuck,
of I-ewistown; Mr. CSarside, a Canadian,
and Mr. Howard, of Buffalo. Colonel
King had been an officer of the United
States army, Whitney was a stone ma
son, Chubbuck a farint**. Garsidc a
butcher, and Howard a bookbinder ; all
men of correct habits and good charac
ter, and all, I doubt not, were moved by
an enthusiastic but not misguided sense
of duty. I knew Colonel King uud John
Whitney intimately. Both would have
shrunk from the commission of a know n
crime, and yet both, Impelled by the de
lusive idea that they were discharging u
duty, participated in the commission of
thn highest crime. Of all the persons
connected with the abduction, arrest,
imprisonment and fate of
Morgan, there was not one within my
knowledge who did not possess and en -
joy the respect and confidence of his
fellow-citizens. It was not strange,
therefore, that fact* subsequently estah*
lished beyond denial were at first very
generally ami indignantly rejected. The
people would not believe thut respecta
ble citizens were guilty of open and gross
violations of law, and yet none but repn
table citizens were thus complicated,
none pf whom, however, intended or
apprehended a **ta#rjphc Nor would
tiiat catastrophe have occured but fcy
the unforseen and infelicitous conjunc
tion ot difficulties and circumstances
which I have related. {

i the law, except a* modified by an.acl of
' the Legislature of June 14. 1872 1 will
read that act and explain the change it
ba made in the law a* laid down by Chief
Justice Agnew.
"It shall be lawful for any laborer or la
' borer*, workingman or workingmen, jour
neyman or journeymen, acting either a*
< individual* or a* the member of any club,
society or association, to refute to work or
labor for any person or porsoni, whenever,

paid aro insufficient, or the treatment of'
such laborer or laborer*, workingman or
workingmen. journeyman or journeymen,'
( by hit, her or their employer I* brutal or
offensive, or the continued labor by such
laborer or laborer*, workingman or work
men, journeyman or journeymen, would
be contrary to the rulea, regulation* or by-,
law* of any club, society or organisation
to which he, the or they might belong,
w ithout subjecting any person or person*
'o refuting to work or labor, to pro*ecu- ;
tion or indictment for conipiracy, under'
j the criminal law* of the commonwealth ; !
i PmtuirsL, That this net shall not be bold '
, to apply to the member or member of any j 1
club, society or organisation, tho constitu
tlon, by-law*, rulos and regulation* of
which, aro not in strict conformity to the j
j constitution of thu State of Penntyhanla |
and to the constitution of the United' 1
States ; Provided, That nothing herein con-j'
lained shall prevent the prosecution and J
punishment, under existing laws, of any 1
person or person* who *hnll, in any way, '
binder pcr*on* who desire to labor for
their employer* from o doing, or other {
persons from being employed a* laborer*. ] (
You will'observe the purpose and scope] i
of this act It authorizes laborer* acting !
either a* individual* or as member* cf any 1 1
u**ocinlion to refuse to labor whenever the; ]
wage* are not satisfactory, their treatment h
is brutal or offensive, qr when further la-, >
bor would be oonlrary to the rules, regit • ,
.Intuitu ot by-law* of their association,]]
without being liable to indictment for con- 1
spiraey All this laborers had a right to
do prior to the passage of the act, if they J
acted simply a individuals ; but if they I
nonocUtod together and noted |n concert, -
their conduct was criminal. This act situ- "
ply destroy* the criminality of concerted
action on the part of lahorors in refusing
to work for any of tho three reason* given
in tho art itself. Bv the lirt proviso the
act W made not tn apply to the members
of any organisation whose constitution, *
by-law* iinu are not in strict con
formity to the coiutitutlori 01 th- JJnitod
States and of this Commonwealth. In or
dei in prevent any misunderstanding as to j
the meaning of the Legislature, the second
provisopontinuas the liability to "prose
cution and punishment gridci existing law "
of any person or person* who shall u any *
way binder persons who desire to labor fur
their umpluyers from so doing, or other
person* from being employed as laborers."
It follows, therefore, that an ugreement or s
combination among laboring men to quit u
Work for the purpose of increasing the s
price of their labor, or improving their
treatment, i< not lawful— thus far the law "
authorizes them t • act in cone -rt; but if
thoy go one step further and attempt in
any way to hinder or prevent parsons who f
• are willing to, labor from so doing, their
, net* become unlawful and their combine
■ tlon criminal >-
The question* of fact which you must
• determine, under thi* branch of tha case,
, are, wa* there an agreement combination or
confederacy entered in by tbo*o dofendent*
- and other minora in the M©shannon dl-
I trot during the mouth, of April or May
• last If so, what was the nature and char
acter of that agreement, combination or
confederacy ? If It wa* merely to quit
wolk in order to gain an increased price
- for their labor, the coiiibinatiun wa* not
■ criminal , but if the agreement went lur
; llicr and the the parties combining, not only
agreed lliemtelVt>* to quit work, but to
hinder or priveut person* from laboring
. in 1 lie mines at the former price* by uieatu
of threat*, intimidation* and, If need be,
actual violence, then th* combination was
1 criminal and all parties to it liable to in
dii'tmeiit and conviction lor conspiracy.
Much ha* been *aid during the progress
1 oi this tiial upon the merits ol the iup|KM
d c nil let between capital and labor - lb*
?ODt< between the operators and the
working men. It is not our intention to
discus* the int-rilt of ibis contest. If either
party I at been wronged, the law ifappeal
ed to, would furnish a complete remedy,
and t-i the law both parties must appeal
when they have, or imagine they have
grievance, which need a remedy Neith
er party can be permitted to lake the law
Into their own hand- ami right their own
real or fancied wrongs. If the laboring
men are not paid their wages, if tbey are
cheated in the weight of their coot, if their
treatment by their employer* is brutal or
offensive, or if they suffer any other real
wrong, or injuries, (he law will furnish
them adequate means oj redress. If there
1* a combination among their employers to
oppress them in any manner, they may be
indicted for conspiracy in the courts, and
ibt a-t of 1872 w 111 not relieve, because it
doe* not apply to them In this country
no one can be compelled to work against
hi* will, unless he become an inmate of a
work IP.UMS or penitentiary. Nothing can
properly control the price of labor but the
tswof supply and demand. If work is
plenty and laborers scarce they can in
-1 crease their wages by demanding it, b*.
j cause th* employer has no option If work
ts scarce and laborers plenty, competition
will briug down the price of labor as it will
of everything else. No class of men has
:be right to moiiopolixe any particular
kind of labor. Kach individual has the
right to engage in any kind of work that
suit* him, and to .eil hi* labor for any
price be can obtain for it, and a combina
tion or organisation dosiguad to interfere
i with this right i> against public policy and
unlawful. All poison* wbo labor for otb-'
er* do .0 upon the term* of a contract eitb
(cr express or implied If sn agreement n
made in advance as to the wages, it it an
express contract; if no such agreement it
itiX'L, tha law implies a Contract on the
lusrt of the employer to pay whatever the
labor W reasonably worth, or what others
arc receiving for similar work. Neither
the employer or employee can compel the
other to pay or receive more or less than;
he i- willing to contract for. The law
gives the right to impose upon the laborer, j
for if be it dissatisfied with hi* wagu* or'
.bis treatment, hi may go elsewhere or'
; seek other employment—the whole conn-'
try is open nd froe to him, but he must
jnol prevent or binder other# from working
who are willing to do so.
It is alleged by the defense in thi* case!
that the combination to which the defend
ant. belonged was a lawful one—the a*JO-j
nation known a* "The Min-r Nationall
A*M ciation —of which most of them are
members, is a legal and legitimate organ

bean organisation for a perfectly login-;

themselves guilty of conspiracy. It doe*'
not follow that, because the original ob
