COXFEDERA TES IS OFFICE.
The charge that the Democratic party,
if successful, would put Confederates in
power comes with a very ill grace from
the party that appointed Longstreet 90
soon after the surrender, anil which
Mosby leads in Virginia. It is quite evi
dent that it is not the appointment of
cx-Confederates that the Republicans
object to, bat the appointment of ex-
Confederates who are no*- Demo
crats.
Let any one who served in the rebel
army, regular or guerilla, general or
private, declare himself a Republican,
and he can rely on an office under the
Federal Government as his immediate j
reward.
It is a little singular that at present
the man of all others in the South most
in the confidence of the Republican par
ty should be Col. John S. Moaby, who
was so bitterly denounced by the Re
publican press as a murderer, guerilla
and highwayman.
For example, the New York Times of
August 25, IHH, relates the massacre of
Snickers Gap Road, where Moaby's men
dressed in the uniform of United States
soldiers, killed two sentinels belonging
to the 6th Michigan Cavalry. The same
paper contains a fuller account of a num
ber of wanton murders of inoffensive
people by Moaby's men, and ofthe hang
ing of two soldiers, named Brown and
Reynolds, to the limb of a tree by Moe
by*s order, and says that after a fight
our men were found with their throats
cut by Mosby's command.
An engagement is also cited by the
same paper, in which thirteen Union
soldiers were killed and only live
wounded, the enormous disproportion
indicating wanton massacre.
On September the Sth, in the saint
year, Mosby hung 32 Union soldiers; on
November 17,1864, at Winchester, West
Virginia, Colonel Mosby ordered the
execution of several men of the Second
New York Cavalry. His orders were
executed by Lieutenant Smith of his
command. Of the seven men, only one.
Sergeant Marvin, of the Second New
York Cavalry, escaped. These men
were taken in war ox regularly senrolled
soldiers, and the records of the papers
published at the time contain no bint,
excuse, or palliation for the murders.
The execution took place near Berry
ville.on the Winchester Pike. Three of
the men were hung, and of the other
three, after escaping the death of their
comrades by hanging, as required by
Mosby's order, received a soldier's death
by the bullet, through the favor of his
subordinate. This is a fair illustration
of the sincerity ofthe Republican party
cry against putting ex-Confederate sold
iers on guard in public places.
There certainly could be no one in
the whole Southern service more objec
tionable, than the ex-Guerrilla Mosby.
However gallant he may have been, the
nature of his service and the manner in
whica he performed it, were Buch as to
entitle him only to the lowest rank
among officers or gentlemen.
The partisan who fights in the uni
form of the enemy, and habitually plays
the part of a spy, may bo useful in war
but bis place is not one ordinarily sought
by men of honor, and when to hang gal
lant soldiers to the limbs of trees, and to
murder defenseless citizens because they
have business with the army, which was
Mosby's constant practice to do, Bach
men generally are content to sink into
oblivion consoled by tbe usual reward of
people in their branch of business.
Bnt a guerilla is transformed into a
batcher if he will but enter into the Re
publican political camp; while the most
gallant and chivalrous soldier is a moo
ter if he adheres to Democratic princi
ples.
The whole cry about putting cx-rebels
in power is mere shain, and the Re
publicans themselves don't believe in
it.
Only the other day, Major Griswold,
an officer of Mosby's command, was ap
pointed to a position in the Treasury De
partment on Mosby's recommendation,
and a Union soldier removed to make
room for the ex-guerilla.
This Griswold was also connected with
Libby prison, where so many Union
soldiers, according to Republican auth
orities, were treated with terrible cruel
ty.
A thousand other instances might be
given to show the insincerity ofthe Re
publican party on this subject, but it is
scarcely necessary to* do so. for all the '
world knows that what tbe Republicans ,
admire and seek to promote is not loyal- i
ty to the Union but hatred to lie-union, '
Peace and Reform.

THE PAKTY OFCLAIMS.
1 The Republican party is decidedly a
t parte of claims. Tlicir entire efforts for
. the last four years seem to have been
directed towards the realifation of claims
upon the public Treasury. The historv
* I or the famous cotton tax claims is well
i 1 known throughout the country, bnt per
haps it is not sufficiently realized by
J voters that these claims, like all other
'.j war claims, were brought up by Rings
' centering in Washington, and having
i their headquarters in the immediate
s vicinity ofthe White House. The most
audacious exploit of the party of claims
• through their Ring machinery is, how-
B ever, the passage ofwhat are called the
- "rebel claims." The Radical Washmg-
L , ton Rings commenced buying np these
claims at the beginning of tho first ses
sion of the Forty thinf Congress. They
1 purchased all that were for sale In the
- States of Alabama, Mississippi, South
t Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia, at
rates varying from 2 to 10 per cent, of
* their face value. The corresponding
agent of tbe combination was Geu. Rice,
t who was so notorious in the post-trader
j ship business, and according to his own
testimony, made some 120,000 bonus, or
i : rather stole it, out of his connection with
> these transactions. Rice's agency in the
j post-tradcrship business was limited to
f j introducing people to the Secretary of
i War and his satellites, hut his conmiis
-1 [ sion was a very large percentage upon
t : the profits oftlie posts, which he barter
s' ed away. In the Southern claim busi
i ness he* figured more prominently. Most
of the communications on the subject
c sent to people in the South were signed
k J by him, and each inclosed an explana
tion of the scheme, which was forward
r' ed only to persons whom the ring
thought could oe dej>cmled upon. Sena
-1 tor Spencer's set in Alabama bought np
1 most ofthe claims in that Suite, and it
£ is unnecessary to say that the Radical
rings in Mississippi, South Carolina and
' other States, were not backward in tak
ing their full share. The scheme work
• I ed well as long as the Radicals had full
f control of the Congress; so well that the
r committees of the House of the Forty
third Republican Congress reported
r , favorably upon over
' EIGHT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
1 of those claims, of which the amount of
s! over six millions of dollars was passed
i by both Houses. When however, the
, j Democrats obtained control ofthe House
' | of Representatives, the conspirators were
* balked. The committees of the present
Congress (the 44th ), at the late session,
, refused to consider any claims which
! had been assigned, and which were now
" i owned hv other parties tkan the origi
• | nsl losers, who were loyal, and present
s'ed tliem in goo<l faith. From this rule
, ((faction established by the House of
Representatives, in accordance with this
' general programme of retrench ment and
( reform, the total amount of claims for
damages in the |S"\,ti during the war.
which were passed by the lionse of
Representatives at the last session,
s amounted to only $74,335. The Radical
r Southern Claim Ring, seeing no hope
t for their profit in any Democratic suc
cesses, have thrown this whole weight
in favor of the election of the Rcpubli
> can ticket in November. Even if it tie
r impossible for them to secure a Eepubli
i can House, they rely on forcing their
claims through by the aid of tbe Repub
lican Senate and Executive. They hope
> in the improbable event of Radical sue
f cess, to secure bills authorizing the pay
ment of the balance of the claims they
now hold. As a part of this scheme,
1 they have raised the rel>el war cry
- against the Democrats. It is merely the
t cry of "stop thief," and those who raise
. it are the thieves in the i>aet, who want
to he the thieves of the future, as is
abundantly demonstrated by the figures
alluded to, which are quoted from the
i official records from tno 43d and 44th
Congresses. The Southern ]>cople do
' not urge and do not desire the jxiseage
of these claims. The present pressure
of taxation upon Southern land owners,
and their cx(>erience of Radical taxation
consequent upon Radical extravagance
is too recent and too hitter to permit
them to desire the successes of such
claims. The Southern land-owners arc
now solely interested in availing them
selves of opportunity to reap a reasona
ble and assured profit from their annual
harvest. They want to build themselves
up by the industry of the future,and
not by trading upon the dead past. This
sentiment is nniversal among all res
ponsible men in the Southern country,
and they are not particularly solicitous
about lining the pockets of the carpet
baggers who have bought up their claims
for a trilling tier centage. The way to
defeat a rebel war claim swindle is to
elect Tilden and Hendricks and defeat
Hayes and Wheeler, because the Demo
cratic party is pledged and bound to re
union and retrenchment, winch neces
sarily involve the defeat of all swind
ling claims upon the United States.

column of the Reporter, taken at the J

HOW THE TREASURY DEPART
'MENT EMBARRASSES COMMERCE,
r I
i The operations of tbe Centennial Kx-
j bibition at Philadelphia have been
, | greatly impeded by the absurd and iui
fj practicable red tajw? regulations of tin
. j Treasury Department. The Chief ofthe
j j Bureau of Customs is W. F. Clark, who
. has lately been given tbe position in
, | place of an old employee, displaced bv
t Mr. Bristow.
t At the opening of the Exhibition, Mr.
i Clark issued such complicated order* in
. relation to the entry and withdrawal of
. bonded goods there that the Collector of
. the Port of Philadelphia was obliged to !
! declare them impracticable, and declin
, ed to carry them out. The consequence
l is, that all goods from foreign countries
1 on exhibition at Philadelphia were en-
I tered there without any record whatever
. being taken. In the Philadelphia Cus
. torn House this naturally gives an ad van-
I tage to the honest exhibitors a* ngainst
. the Treasury, and their dishonest con
. federates, and the result will be the los
-1 of millions of dollars of revenue on goods
sold during and at the close of the Fix
position, and of corresponding profit t< >
those foreigners who are not men of
j business integrity. To obviate this, a
I regulation has been made requiring nil
spaces of foreign exhibitors to be fenced
f off at thecltwc of tho Fixpoaition. This
5 will cause a long delay in the final clos
' ing of the establishment, and will prc
. vent quick sales by auction, which is the
1 only way that loss* caii be saved. The !
r transfer of the buildings, the restoration
• of (airmount Park to its originrl cotwli
- tion.as required by law, and the sale of
' all the edifices, excepting Memorial Hall
I will be delayed by this great mistake of
' the Treasury. This derk is a typical
' Radical official of the Treasury. His
theory is, that all merchants are natural
. thieves, and that the payment of just re
-1 funds should always tie refused by the
Treasury and the officials required to go
to the courts. He is one ofthe men who
! compel citizens to he dishonest in order
■ to preserve their business chances, and
■ Lis course in relation to the Centennial
' Exhibition is only a sample of that pur
! sued by the Treasury Department in its
• relations with business men for the last
eight years.
The whole effort of the Republican
! chiefs of Government since the war has
been to multiply forms and create em
barrassments in the way of tho regular
transaction of business, in order to keep
up an apparent necessity for the largest
possible number of officeholders. Un
der this system the officeholders have
! grown from 5-1,000 in to Hfi/iOO in
1875, while the business requiring their
; attention lias decreased in almost equal
ratio, especially in the Internal Revenue
service, in which the articles of taxa
tion have decreased from 30! to CO.

A RADICAL LIE ANSWERED.
MR. TILDEN DEFINES HIS I'OKI
TION ON Til E FA YM KNT OF CON
FEDERATE WAR CLAIMS.
A.a President Ho will Execute and
Enforce the Fourteenth Amend
ment.
Now York, October 24, 187!
To the Hun. Abrnm S. Hriritt.
Kilt.- I have received j-our loiter inform
ing me that Republican* high in authori
ty are publicly representing tlmt "South
ern drain, not without hope," to obtain
payment for losses by the lute war and to
liavo "provision made for tho rebel debt
arid for the losses of slave*."
As tho paymentofsuch losses and claim*
was not deemed important enough to <le
•erve tho notice of cither convention at the
timo it wa* hold, you also ask me to state!
my views in regard to their recognition by
tho Government.
Though disposed myself to abido by the
issue as made up already, 1 have no hesi
tation to comply with your request.
The fourteenth amendment ot tho Con
stitution expressly provide* as follows :
"The validity of the debt of the
United States authorised bylaw, includ
ing debts incurred lor pay moot of pensions
and bounties for servicos in suppressing
inurrection or rebellion, *!in!l not bo
questioned. But neither tho .United
ntates. nor any Ktato, shall nssnmc'or pay i
ANV debt or obligation, incurred in aid of <
insurrection or rebellion against tho Uni- i
ted States, or any claim for the lore or i
rmaneipation ofuny *fir, but ALL such '
debt*, obligations anil claims, shall be hold <
illegal andvoitl." I
'1 his amondmont luu boon repoatodly ap-
proved and ngrcod to by Democratic State '
con ventiuriß of the "South. It was unani- i
moiisly adopted n a part of tho platform t
of the Democratic National Convention at
St. Louis, on the 2Sth of Juno, and was 1
declared by that platform to bo "univer* -I
\ -ally accepted us ik Jlnal settlement of the I
COM rnvcrsius that engendered civil wur." "
My own tiosition on this subject had d
been previously declared on mniry occa- d
sions, and piirliculurly in my llrat annual h
message of January 6, 176. e
In that document 1 stated that the si
Southern people wero "bound by tho thir
teenth, fourteenth and fifteenth coi^it

War, euibtilii| in tho lat three amend- i
meiil* to tho organic law of the Federal |
Union, and that they had by the suffrage* |
of all their voter* nt the ln*t national <
election completed the proof that now |
they only eek to kliaio with u and to |
maintain thu common rights of American i
local *slf governnient in n fraternal union, j
under the old flag with "one Conslitu- ,
Itloti ami olie deitlny."
I d< dated at Ihe same timo :
"The questions nettled by the war are
I never to b reopened. The adoption of
I the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth
amendment* to the Federal Constitution
closed one era in our polities. It marked
the end forever of the system of humsn
slnvery and ol the -truggie* that grew out
ol that system. These amendments have
been oojtcluiivoly adopted, and they have
been accepted in good faith by all poliii

are and mutt be final : all parties hereafter

Should 1 be elected I'rctldent, the pro

PotUville. Oct. 22.—This town andcoun
, ty hare been in a great state of excite
ment by the disclosures made bv John J
1 Slaltery, on the witness-stand In Mauch
. Chunk v esterdsr, during tho progress of
tho trial of Yellow Jack Donafioe, for ths
, murder of Morgan Powell Powell was a
' mining boss, employed by the Lehigh
Navigation and Coal Company. lie was
' r *hot in the streets of Summit Hill. Carbon
, county, after dark on tho 2nd of Pscstn
' bcr. IK7I- By the confessions of Charles
( Mulhearn and John J. Slattcry, the Com
monwealth is enabled to establish beyond
j doubt tlie following facts : Aloxunder
Campbell, now under sentence of death
' for the murder of John H. Jones, was, in
J I*7l, employed undor the supervision of
, | Powell, and desired to obtain from the
; boss a certain piece of work which Powell
! told him he wa* unfit for and could net
j have. At that time Thomas Fither wa*
county delegate of Carbon county and
James McKenns was body-masteratSum
mit Hill. Campbell called on body-mas
ter McKennalo furnish men toavongo the
j insult he charged Powell with. McKen
, na conulted (xiunly Delegate Fiher,
and through his influence three men from
tho Tuscarora divHion, in Schuylkill
county, were obtained to do the job.
I These three men—Yellow Jack Donahue,
Mat Donahue and Charlet Mulhearn—
wont to Summit Hill and guided by Full
er and MeKenna, wero enabled to shoot
down their victim and ctcspe. All six
men have been arrested.
Startling Revelations.
Two vory startling revelations have
thu* far been made; first, that in order to
pay the three men who eamo over from
l'usrurora to kill Powell, an assessment of
one dollar apiece was made on more than
ono hundred mcmbon of the Summit II ill
Division of the Mollio Maguircs. Only
thirty dollars of this assessment however,
was ever collected and paid over. But
the most startling revelation wa* made
when.Klattciy, under an offer to show the
goncral criminal character of the Mollio 1
Mnguire organization, arming other things
gave hi* knowledge of the bargain made
Inst fall whereby tho vote of that organiza
tion was secured for llarlranft. SlHttery's
manner of testifying showed nn earnest
sincerity to tell tho truth. His story of
tho arrangement to secure the Mollio vote
for llarlranft last fall is as follows :
Politician* Rargaiuitlg with Murder
ers.
Pending the campaign last year Slattcry
and John Kelioe, county dolngatc of
Schuylkill county, mot Gen. J. K. Kigfri
ed, a prominent Republican politician,
holding tho lucrative appointment of boil
er inspector of this county, and James
Ryon, ox-Judgo of tho Court of Common
Pleas of this county, who was defeated cf
re election by Judge Perilling, and they
bargained with KoliooandKlattery to pay
them one|thou*aml dollars apiece for pro
curing the Totes of tho Mollio Muguirc*
for llarlranft. *\fter tho bargain was con
cluded Kigfried said ho would go to liar
risburg to gel the money, and if he suc
ceeded ho would communicate with Ke
lioe and Slattcry by a cypher telegram
agreed upon. Tho day t'ollowing Slattcry
received a dispatch from Kigfried, which
meant that the money had been raised and
that Slattcry and Kclioo should come to
Sigfricd's house in Pollsville tho nextdny.
Tlioy came, nnd there, in tho presence of
•ludge Ryon and D. C Honing, Esq., a
prominent lawyer of thi* bur, Kigfried paid
over to Klattory and Kchoo a thousand
dollar* a pioco. At tho sumo timo nn ad
ditional stipulation was made that if ono- •
half of the republican county ticket was |
elected an additional thousand dollars ,
should ho paid thein.

are still the most thorough awl search
ing cathartic medicine that can be
employed: cleansing the stomach and
bowels, and even the blood. In small
doses of one pill a day, they stimulate * J
the digestive organs and promote vig
orous health.
Avian's I'ILLS have l>ecn known for
more than a quarter of a century, and
have obtained a world-wide reputation
for their virtues. They correct dis
eased action In the several assimila
tive organs of the body, and are so
composed that obstructions within
their range can rarely withstand or .
evade them. Not only do they cure
the evcry-day complaints of every
body, but also formidable and danger
ous diseases that have baffled the best
of human skill. Whilif they produce
powerful eflbcts, they are, at the same ,*
time, the safest and best physic for
children. By their aperient action
they gripe much less than the common
purgatives, aud never give pain when
the bowels are not inflamed. They
reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing
it from the elements of weakness. Jtk
Adapted to all ages awl conditions
In ail climates, containing
calomel nor any deleterious
these Pills may be taken with
l>y anybody. Their sugar-coating
serves them ever ftvsh and
them pleasant to take; while
purely vegetable, no harm
from their use in any quantity.
