The Bradford Reporter charges Victor Piollet with having etnbexaled funds frv>m his mother-in-law ! How are the mighty fallen! This squib has been going the rounds of the radical press. The reply to the slauder is short.—This same mother-in law has come out in a letter denying the charge. Try something else. Say he robbed a hen-roost.

Senator Wallace is after Wee Keuible, of "addition, division and silence" fauie, with a sharp stick. Mr. Wallace made a speech in Philadelphia a few nights ago, in which he answered ex-Treasurer Kemble's letter by saying that the real issue was not a personal one, but one which required at Kemble's hands an swers to the following signiflcant ques tions: First, where are the figures that show what the syndicate made who ne gotiated this loan? ;$23,000,000. 1 Sec ond, has not the State been made to pay more than $2,000,000 unnecessarily by the action of a Republican Administra tion which increased the rate of inter est ? Third, how much is the Treasury of the State justly entitled to out of the profit made in handling this change ol loan with an average monthly balance of more than three millions and a half of money in the hands of the Treasurer? Wliat answers are there to these ? SEX A TORI A L. The democratic senatorial conference of this district has at length succeeded in making a nomination. Ou Friday even ing, last, the Hon.T.J. Boyer. of Clear field. received a majority of the votes cast and was declared the nominee. This was effected by the yielding of Mr. Peale, of Clinton. A nomination would have been made two weeks earlier, had | the magnanimous proposition of Mr. Peale been accepted, which was to un tie the hands of the conferees and leave them free to vote for whomever they pleased, and make a nomination for the best of the party. As this proposition was not accepted the dead-lock went on, and to end it Mr. Peale himself yielded, and this ended the drag. The nominee, Mr. Boyer, is an cner getic, active democrat; a man of intelli gence, and large legislative experience, having frequently represented Clearfield county in the lower house, where hi 6 course always was satisfactory to his constituents, and rendered him very popular with the people of his county. He is especially strong among the com mon or laboring classes, with whose in terest* he has always been found identi fied. Mr. Boyer has demonstrated that he is proof against bribery. Mr. Camer on made the attempt, by offering hiin $25,000 for his vote for U. 8. Senator. Mr. Boyer told this Satan of Pennsylva nia politics to get hence, and exposed the Winnebago in the house. That one vote would have elected Cameron and defeated that honest and pure Pennsyl vania statesman, Cbas. R. Buckalew. Now let the democracy of Centre and of the district be as trne and faithful to Hon. Jeff. Boyer. Rally to his support, democrats, and give him every vote. Wc cannot close this article without expressing our admiration of the true democratic, patriotic and disinterested Bpirit shown by Mr. Peale, of Clinton, one of the candidates for Senator, in evincing his disposition to preserve the harmony of the party and ending the senatorial dead-lock by generously with drawing from the contest. The demo cracy will remember his actions and will prize him all the higher as one of its purest and ablest members. * Are the honest tax-payers of Centre county in favor of Reform in the ad ministration of the state government ? Khali corruption cease and honest men be 'put at the head of affairs? If so, then remember the duty that devolves upon you on the 2nd day November. Hartranft is the candidate of the Cam eron ring for Governor. lie has per mitted the state to be plundered out of hundreds of thousands of dollars by the ring thieves. He could have prevented the Evans swindle and saved the state $300,000. He could have vetoed the fee-bill and prevented the Philadelphia ring from pocketing SIOO,OOO annually, .winch should flow into the public treas ury. He has winked at the farming out of from one to three millions of state funds, to the banks, and for which the stste treasurer and the ring pocketed the interest every year, which amounts to several hundred thousand dollars, and rightfully should go into the treas ury because the principal is taken from there. Pershing and Piollet are solemnly pledged against these abuses and plun dering, and their past life shows that thiey are honest men. Let us have a change, tax-payers, and 6ce whether the sta£e under the hands of such pure and and honest men as Pershing and Piollet, will Hot be rid of the gang of thieves that have been amassing fortunes, at yoilr expense. Four steamers have recently arrived at ■fe&a with reinforcements for the Spun- PIOLLET A A7> VI ( KK ) A (.UFA rl DIFFFIiESCE. The nomination of Piollet to he State Treasurer of Pennsylvania is received with small favor by the King, now in possession. But Mr. Maekoy, the proa ent Treasurer, advances the most re markable objection to him we have yet -ecu. He insists in his new-paper the i foul Pittsburg Commercial that Piollet |is not tit to be Treasurer, I Haw use be does not know bow to take a bribe. [ About thirty years ago, Piollet, being a member of the Legislature, was o tie red a sum of money for his vote, and made, according to this modern expert, such a wretched bungle of the a flair that Mack ev, upon reading the account, was high ly scandalised, ami berates him soundly "for want of skill." l.el us see precisely how these gentlemen differ in their trcatmcut of a tendered bribe, and we may then be able to understand the true reason of Mr. Ma. key's disgust. lu the winter of 1 sir. u|wtiiiou for tin rejH'al of a certain Ivuik charter was presented to the lower house of the Pennsylvania legislature, and referred to a committee, of which Mr. Viol let wa> a member. Three of the seven eummil tee men were in fbvorof, and four,count ing Piollet, were against the bank The bank age tit endeavored to persuade Piollet that it was his duty to vote against repeal ; but failing in that, made v arious attempt* to secure hissupp rtby offers of mouey to his friends, and even to his aged father, ail of whom indig nantly refused the proposal- At length I he went directly to Piollet. witli an of fer of SIOO cash, and SIOO conditional. Mr. Piollet took into his coutidonce three or four of the purest aud best tin n of the day -among them Judge l-ajxirte atul the late Jesse Miller— anddctcrinin cd to teach the bribe-giver a lesson. When he called again he told him to put the money in a drawer, from which it was immediately taken by ih* land lord of the house, counted, done up in a |tackagc, and sealed. Withthi- package in his hand, Piollet walked into tin House the next morning, and after de nouncing in tilting terms the attempted crime and the rotten bank in vv hose in terest it was undertaken, he laid the money ou the Speaker's desk, from which it was in due time removed by a resolution to the Court of Quarter Ses sions. The exposure was follow ed not only by a legislative investigation, by which these facts were established, but by a criminal trial, and the conviction of the bauk agent, who, unlike the bribe givers or the bribe-takers of to-day, -erved his allotted urui in prison, and was never nominated for Governor or >tate Treasurer. But Mr. Piollet's old fashioned repug nance to bribery, and his summary method ot meeting it in his own case, have excited Mr. Maekey's profound contempt. He doubtless regards Mr. Piollet's conduct as an exhibition of brutal integrity, of which no properly educated gentleman could poaiibly be guilty. If he was too sqeauiish to put the money in his own pocket, he might at least have refrained from putting it ou the Speaker's table, aud thus spoil ing other people's chances. It is not Mr. Maekey's way. He can take abrile with a grace which defies criticism, and which no expert from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh would vetiture to denounce as not being perfectly skillful. When Richmond L. Jones offered $lO,- 000 in the second mortgage bonds of the South Pennsylvania Iron and Railroad Company to induce Mackey to put the money of the Stale where Jones could borrow it, he didn't call in a parcel of honest witnesses, with idiotic scruples about taking money for a public act, but chucked the bonds in his pocket and gave the requisite order. A little fur ther on he had his own name erased from the books of the Company and C. L. Magee's fraudulently written over it as the recepient of the bonds: and still further on he swore with a great deal of complacency that the bonds really be longed to the Allegheny National Bank, and were purchased from Magee for a bona fide consideration. Tliis part of the business, involving a neat and j>eril ous feat of perjury, was very "skilfully" managed, and excited considerable ad miration at the time. If Jones and the Treasurer of theCoin panv bad been equally deft, Mr. Mack ey might have got away with the mon ey, and left us to guess as to what might be his peculiar way of treating a bribe as contrasted with that of Mr. Piollet. As it is, however, the people can take their choice. If Mackey had been in Piollet's place the bank agent would have saved his charter and gone ahead with his swindling machine. If Piollet had been in Maekey's place, Jones would have been collared and handed over to the Court of Quarter Sessions, w here he might have been rendered useful as an example. Will the [>eople of Pennsyl vania choose the vaunted skill of Mack ey or the sturdy integrity of Piollet? TIIE EVIDENCE A GA IS ST MACK EY. Harrisburg, Oct. 10. —The Treasury in vestigating committee adjourned on Friday evening to meet Monday even ing at 7:50, when Richmond L. Jones, who testified in the case of John lticc et. al. against the .Southern Pennsylvania Iron and Railroad Company that he had paid Robt. W. Mackey, State Treasurer, a bribe of f 10,000 to secure the use of a large sum of the State money for the corporation above named, is expected to appear and tell all he knowns. The tes timony elicited during the first two days that the committee has devoted to the examination has demonstrated the case with which the bottom facts in this treasury business can be arrived at. The evfcence of the bookkeej>er ofSteli man, Clark son & Co., sustained as it is by that of John M. .Stehman, is conclu sive. Mackey can be convicted by it of a plain violation of the eighth and ninth sections of the criminal code of the State. But this isonly the begining. There are twenty or thirty banks and banking firms in the Ktate who have now or have llad tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars of the Ktate money on the same terms on which Stehman, CI ark son & Co. obtained it. It is supposed the com mittee will call every one of the officers and bookkeepers of these hanks, compel the production of their books, and sub ject both witnesses and books to n most searching examination. If they do this and extend their investigations over the period they arc directed to cover by the resolution of the House of Representa tives they will have to work with more real than they have hitherto displayed.

Stuart, esq., of Philadelphia, by the general synod of the Reformed Presbyterian church for singing by inns and communing with oth er churches, was finally bettled to-day by the supreme court of Pennsylvania, now in session in this city, in favor of the Stuart party. The particular case which has been decided was the null! against the Fifth Reformed Presbyter!', church of Philadelphia, Rev. I'r. Mi Aislcy'a, to eject them from tlnnr church ] property. By this decision they retain their property. The opinionof theeourt wax read by Judge lion lon, and i- one if the most im|H>ttant ctiureli decisions ever given in this country.

When thev resorted to such stuff as that, it at once proved the worthiness of the man and that nothing can lie truthfully said against him. Will the honest voters of Centre coun ty In- led astray by the little side-shows that are just now being run by restless politicians for a selfish purpose. We think not. A few honest and w ell-mean nig men may he iuduced by false repre sentations to run upon a ticket gotteu up by politicians who assume liighsouudiug names, and make big, extravagant prom ises, but win* in reality are only out to dupe the jieople, and speculate upon their credulity. These fellows are all hired for their work, and are ready for any thing, having no other visible means of support. lJcmoeraU, be true to your nominees. Vote for honest men, and pay no attention to the |x>litical guerrillas that bum around over the county. Governor Cur tin, iu one of his Ohio speeches, made the following pungent ausw r to the political cry of the bloody shirt: "lean tell the Governor of In diana that the Governor of Pennsylva nia had something to do with that war about which he loves to dwell so con stantly. [Applause.] And after we had fought through the long and bloody years and conquered the armies of the Sou ill that were arrayed against us, and they had laid down their arms before our victorious soldiers, we should have something to do with the Southern sol dier besides to rob and despoil him. [Applause.] It was to make a citizen of him that we conquered him, not to pil lage him and prosecute him. [Cheers.] I know there arc plenty of men who stayed at home all the time during .he war that would be glad to have it go on still. There are contractors ami quar termasters who never saw a battle that would be willing to keep it up still, in the hope of profiting by the sufferings and disasters of their fellow men. It is no use to sliakc the bloody shirt here any longer. It may do to carry an elec tion, but it won't do to give employment to laboring men without work. Such politicians may go sputtering and stam mering around, reviving the old scenes of the war, but it won't satisfy the men who need the necessities of iife, because they can't find lalior to enable them to earn a living." FitAFlt n;ojj;cTFl> IS FIJI I.ABEL PHI A. The corruptionist* arc fully aware that an honest election will be death to the ring, ami Philadelphia is again to be disgraced with their operations to de fraud the honest people of Pennsylva nia. When the new Constitution ofthik state was adopted as the Bun remarks, notwithstanding the opposition of the King who have so long ruled and plun dered that .State, it was supposed that the scandalous system of frauds on the ballot lsix bv means of which only they had kept possession of power, would be uprooted entirely. Indeed, many im portant checks were established and im provements introduced, the effects of which are visible in all the recent elec tions, as compared with those which preceded them. Ballot stuffing and false counting, which heretofore determined Republican majorities, have in a great measure been corrected ; but to counter act this reform, the King have now fal len back on the weak point of the new system, and have substituted registry stuffing for their former practices. A barefaced attempt in Philadelphia to stuff the rcsistry beyond all prece dent, and thus procure a fraudulent ma jority large enough not only to elect all the local Ring officers, against whom the better class of Republicans have protest ted, but perhaps to carry the State, has provoked a stern indignation. With a population estimated at tho outside at 750,000, they have entered 171,000 names on the registry, while in Near York city, with a population much exceeding a million, there are but 140,000. I f • I I BEMI-OKFK IAJ. lIKTIIINS FBOM ALL TUB COl NTIKS—HAVKs' MAJOIUTY, 4,000.

Applying the same ratio to the registry as now made up in Philadel phia, would require u population of 1,200,000! These simple facts tell the whole story, and prove that some 40,000 names have been fraudulently added to the lists, for w hen the King did their own counting they never pretended to exceed an aggregate of 122,000 votes. This subject is now before the courts, in the hope of purging the registry ; but with the best efforts, it may bo consid ered certain that thousands of dead men and false personations will be voted for at the coming election.

The attention of the people of Pennsyl vania is respectfully but earnestly direct ed to the p>itionssumcd by Col. Piollet n rofercnce to treasury admin Miration in the following letter addressed to the edi tor of this paper: WtBoX. OcL 11, 1876. PEA* Sia —Your kind letter came du Ily lo hand. • • • I desire you to slate my position as the reform candidate of the Erie convention for State Treasurer I believe that ail sums of money paid to the State Treasurer for interest upon de posits are as much the money of the State as is tbe principal, and should be account ed for by that officer. Piease invite my opponents to come forward and state their views and understanding of the law inthia regard. Will thoae gentlemen agree with tnc that it it embtiilement to take a cent beyond the talary affixed by law to the office of State Treasurer ? I desire a precedent tbat will compel ail State Treasurers in future to show by monthly statements who has tbe slate money on deposit and how much (if any thing) is paid for iu use, wiih a corre sponding entry of credit on the books of the Treasury in favor ol the people of Pennsylvania. I desire, even more than my election, that the condition of of Stat* Treasury be openly stated at all times and subject lo the scrutiny of any man, or set of men, desiring lo verify the statement. In conclusion 1 again aver that interest paid for the use of the state money is as sacredly the properly of the people as is the principal. Your Friend, etc., V. E. PTOLLET. This respectful challenge to Messrs. Kawlc and Pennypackor, the candidates respectfully of the Cameron and Prohibi tion wings of the radical party for State Treasurer, cannot be ignored by these gentlemen. Let them ('>m forward and make known to the people their position on this interest question. Col. Piollet is pledged to account to the atate for overy cent of interest on the state moneys paid into the State Treasury during his term of officii, should he be elected Wbat will Mr. Rawle, what will Mr. Pennypacker; do, should either ho elected? Will they' pledge themselves, a* Col. Piollet lias done, to account to the slate for all inter-' est received on deposits? It does not re-, quire the light which an investigating committee may throw upon treasury man-< agement to convince people that interest has been paid upon the state deposits which has not been accounted lor to the statu. Everybody knows that such is the! fact. Indeed wo believe that any of the Slate Treasurers for years past will admitj that they have made money out of their j office in addition to their salary. If this; system of treasury management is to be corrected the people must have a pledge of reform from Meetr*. Rawle and Penny-! packer similar to that given by Col. Piol let. Will it be given?-?*friol. THAT MOTHKRIN-'LAW MATTER For want of a better objection to tbe Democratic candidate for Stale Treasurer, tbe Radical newspapers have laid great stress upon a statement they circulated thnt Col. Piollet bad been sued by his mother-in-law.

Our county is hard to beat at a grating section and our early pioneers relied on raising stock on the range for profit and subsidence and there is yet a great amount iof range to be had on non-rosident lands { for the luxuriant grass provided so treely by Damo Nature that catlla can be easily and cheaply raised with moderate winter; feeding and shelter a few days at a lime in : tha winter season from our occasional cold j ana;>s. Most of our old stock raisers raised their stock on the range, spring, summer j and fall, with a little prarie hay in the win-j ter, at limes with scire* any sholter save what a grove of timber, or a straw stack, or sheds of poles, and stakes covered with successive layers of straw or grass might afford. Though of late year* our winters have become us every where els* of 1.-nger duration and severer in character necessi tating, of pourso more care and shalter than heretofore, yet with all this stock does not require one-fourth the attention and feed they do in lowa and Michigan. Coal and Minerals. I WhiUt nature hat don* much in icldthing our prairie* with rich succulent grasses, and Llosscd ua with a fertile mil I and a genial climate and with man/ other ! advantage*. *hu too, haa in her generous ' mood stocked the bowela of the earth with a variety of valuable material and element* ' necessary to the want* ot man, and that are dettinod 111 the future if developed by the magic wand of capital, induttry and enter prise, to render our county wealthy and a* prosperous a* any In our wide spread Un ion. Firal of all there are our great load mine* that underlie tho entire portion of the county and whoie value in almost in calculable and every week develops* new mines and new discoveries in various sec lions of our county. Thii great element of wealth and prosperity when once I brought fully into play will yield actually more profit than guld mines. Throe years ago there were but two smeiting furnace* lin lh : * county to day they number if. these sii furnace* are kopt in blast both I day and night. Lead ore sell* readily at the bank where dug at thirty three dollar* < par thousand pound*. Our Slate Geologist gives our lead and coal mine* higli praise I f>r quality. There i* hardly a quarter ! section of land in this county but whalcoal lor lead is in easy reach of the miner's pick and spade. If we in the present g.-nora jtion ran only realize ona tithe of this v**t ! amount of niatorivl wealth in tho earth, it ] will make our county prosperous, wealthy and populous. True we have valuable I bed* of iron of not inferior quality that will in time receive attention and nddthcir wealth to the stun total ; also wo have nut a lew minor element* of wealth awaiting development, such as cement rock, ocher beds for cheap paints, grind atone, grit, tiro and potter's clay. Jn conclusion we believo thai Morgan county offers as great inducements to settlers and emigrant* as any other county in the state. Lift and property is just as safe here as in any county oust, and any one with ordinary economy mid industry can realize compe tency in time. County Seal.
