The one made tother, and tother made the other. The Bellefonte Republican wishes to have A. O. Furst nominated a* a strait ont republican candidate for I resident Judge. Oo ahead, he'a aa good a chap as vou have got, but then you see thr people all want to re elect Hon. C. A. Mayer that's all. In the lower House of Congress, on Saturday, while in committee of the whole on the bill to pension soldiers of the Mexican and Indian war* * letter was read from JetTeraou l*vis *aymg that if the success of the bill depended on excluding him (Davis) from its bene fit# he hoped that audi a provtaion would be inserted in it.

One of th em to be elected by the western states, one by the southern, and the third by the middle and eastei n aUtes. and to serve for 6 years, and the pay for each Jnot to exceed 180.000 per year. Aa we Ameri cana are all sovereigns. Southonl might improve bia bill and enlarge the boar*! of presidents, by making it read that each sovereign citixen of the l .S. ah*., be a member of the board of presidents with a'salary not to exceed SIOO,OOO per year each. This woald certainly give each section and locality a representa tive, and would suit every pocket book, and wipe ont the tramp business. The Reporter would suggest to Mr. Southard that he amend his bill so as to embrace our suggestion. When Snyder was elect ed governor of Pennsylvania his daugh ters thought they were all to be "gover neers." and Mr. Southard could.make us all presidents. The only difficulty might be to get enough returning boards to count us all in. The New York Herald, speaking of the 'promptness with which Congrers pat iu foot on Hayes' veto of the silvsr bill, says that in the whole history of our government there was never before a veto of any bill, by any Preaident, which waa overruled with such swift promptitude, or overruled by majorities in both houees, to superfluously large. Until Andrew Johnson's time no bill was ever passed by Congreae over the veto of a President President Hayes is not the defiant bullwheaded type of man that President Johnaon was, bat Con gress seems to show even more alacrity in humiliating him, and proving his want of influence than it did against the vetoes of Mr. Johnson. A press despatch of Ist aays, Just two hours and fifteen minutes elapsed be tween the announcement of the veto of the Silver bill, ia the House, and the declaration by the presiding officer of the Senate that the bill is a law, the ob jection ofthe President notwithsUnding. Old parliamentarians say that never in the history of the Government was a measure passed over a veto in such a short space of time. The message was much more positive in terms than had been expected. Anti-Administration people say they recognise John Sher man's hand work in the message. The general sentiment among silver men is thit the Freeident got a big black eye. It ia remarked that never was ao little respect shown for the will or opinion of the Executive. Senator Edmunds waa the only person who seems to take into consideration the fact that the hasty ac tion which waa being forced waa disre spectful to the President, and on thia ground be made his motion to lay the bill and the veto message over until to day. Hon. L. A. ilackey voted for the sil ver bill, which has been passed by the House. Democrats voting for the bill, 125; against it, 32. Radicals for the bill, t9; against it, 50. He also presented a petition of citiiensofFotter'aMiU'a, Cen tre county, against any reduction of the tariff duties, and against reirr posing the tax on tea and coffee.

The democratic county convention re aseembled at Bellefonte, Tuesday of laat week, with Mr. Caaaanora as Chairman, and Messrs. Rumbarger and Reifsnyder as Secretaries. The first ballot for rep resentative delegates resulted as follows • O. W. M'Gaffey 8, C. Bower 35, Fr. Bot torf 10, F. Kurtx 20, J. D.Shngert 54—re suiting in the election of Messrs. bhugert and Bower, both of Bellsfonts, as repre sentative delegates. After several ba! lots the following gentlemen were elect ed as senatorial conferees: Mr. Casta - nova, Pbilipsburg, J. A. Woodward, Howard nndMaj. Fisher, of Gregg. A resolution to instruct for Dill for gover nor had yeas 23, nays, 25, a number who voted no announced themselves in favor of Dill but were opposed to instructions and voted no accordingly. The three senatorial conferees are warm Dill men. Mr.Sbugert one of the representative delegate# is also a warm DUI man, while the other, Mr. Bower, is reported to favor Reynolds. A set of resolutions were offered by Mr. Rumbarger, which were adopted, and are the same as adopted by the In diana democracy in their recent state convention. From the New York Herald, Ind. In regard to things done in Louisiana, it is pretty well established that you cannot go behind the returns, and Anderson is "returned" guilty. If he is not guilty, then the jury is to blame, bat there is Do help for Anderson. HOn' CARPET RAO'iIRS RORiil7>l SOPTiI PAROUS I. Tweed's plundering* in New York arc cent plot elj set aside by the unheard of system by which the cat pet baggers plundered poor South Carolina as is now leing developed. The Tribune sums up the fearful story thus: The Members of Congress who, in the good old days, franked tlioir boots bone to be mended, were mere tyros in the tine art of tiiylung. So w ere those who supplied themselves with paper and pen knives and patent inkstands for the rest of their lives. It took a South Carolina Assemblyman under the carpet-bag regime to grab and gobble with an al most idea! greediness. Ihe l egislature of that Slate has receivedjareport which will astonish everybody who reads it. It is made by a Committee on Frauds ap pointed to investigate the misdeeds of former tisneral Assemblies. The prodi gality with which these Solon*, sable i r white, sjH'nt the State money, the tilings for which they spent it, justify the mild remark of the committee that there was "a carnival of fraud and extravagance. We should say there was. And a saturnalia. And an epidemic. "Sup- j plies" and "Sundries" and "Incidental Expenses" are proved by vouchers in the Treasurer's otlice to have amounted in a single session to the sum of $850,000 and of this, $125,000 was paid out for re freshments, including the choicest wines and liquor*, and the moat exquisite and expensive cigars! Two or three drink ing places were fitted up in the State House, where members could conve niently fortify their intkimties, and charge the bill to the State itself. From there places they carried off cigars by the hatfhll, with a bottle of champagne in each pocket. Moreover they ordered "refreshments" of all sorts to their boardingshouses. The bergcant-at-Anu* also used to take orders and fill them from several neighboring groceries. There was one James A Bowie*, des cribes! as "a leading colored member," who seems certainly to have led in the buainew of imbibing, for to him in one day were sent, "one box of champagne, one box of port wine, one box of brandy one box of sherry wine and three boxes of cigar*. " There was a dealer named Solomon, who was remarkably wise in hi* generation. As a specimen of his way of doing business, it may be stated that on the 4th of March, 1872, he furnished the Senate with wines and liquor* to the amount of $1,631, and only three day* after with the same sort of mer cbandise to the amount of $1,852. Three thousand four hundred and eighty-three dollar* spent in moistening the Senato rial clay in only three days' And this was at a time when the State was oblig ed to Ipardon the vilest criminals to keep them from starving in jail; when all the lunatics were howling hungry in the asylum; when the free schools were closed and the teachers unpaid! Ac cording to bills rendered and pay certi ficates issued, it appear* that every member of the House must have con sumed one gallon per diem of wines or liquors, and smoked at least one dozen of cigars in the same time! No wonder the committee grows sarcastic over this spectacle of the "average statesman ' consoling himself for the loss of "his accustomed luxury, the succulent water melon," by devouring at the expenses of the State "the mot' luscious fruits of tropical climes." But the swindle was not merely an eating and drinking swindle, bou.h Carolina spent in four years for-furni ture over $300,000. All the furniture in the State House at present is appraised at $17,000. The upholsterer report*that he furnished at least forty bed-roouis wherein honorable members might re pose after the toils of legislation Some of the rooms he fitted up three times- Buggies, carriages and horses were pro vided. Moreover, musical instruments, drygoods, books, Webster's Unabridged Dictionaries, gold pens, watches, twenty five dollar inkstands, diamond breast pins, hair brushes, towels, and looking glasses, overcoats, shirts, stockings, cologne water, stereoscopes, china vases, decorated apittoons, cut-glass goblets with monograms, hooks and eyes, japanned tea trays, billiard table cloths, linen cambric handkerchiefs, parasols and sun umbrellas, French extracts, demijohns, coffee mills, portemonaies— all these were among the "Supplies"' to the lawmakers of South Carolina for which that State was obliged to pay. These were the "Sundries"—these the "Incidental Expenses!" The history of these shameful frauds, as given by 31 r. Woodruff, who was clerk of the Senate at the time of their perpetration, is briedy, that under the head of "Supplies" was embraced every thing which a Senator chose to order. At first, members gave orders on the clerks to deduct the amount from their pay. Soon the orders largely exceeded that pay; the accounts were then includ ed in the report of the Committed on Cont'ngent Accounts, and pay certifica tes wero isaaed for every description of merchandise. It was a good time, while it lasted, both for shopkeepers and for members; but the indulgence was, for financial reasons, a self- limited one. The treasury collapsed under the pres sure of too many pay certificates. Some of the honorable gentlemen went to jail and others returned to "the succulent watermelon." The festivities were over and not a moment too soon. They left nothing behind them but a bad smell, and a curious history which is not likely to be repeated. There seems to be an unpleasantness among the I'enn'a Kit. directors, and three ofthem have resigned, viz: Messrs. Derbyshire, Spartridge and Parker. We don't suppose their plighted faith in not finishing the road through Pennsvalley is troubling their consciences, but we wish there were no rest for them until they came up to what they promised our people. Col. D. G. Bush, of Bellefonte, baa en tered the field for the democratic nomf? nation for Congress. Col. Bush if elect ed to that position would certainly make a good, working member of the lower House of Congress, corahined with abili ty to make his views known whenever he deemed it necessary to speak. Upon the financial question—the all-absorb ing question of the times—Col. Bush is as well posted as a dozen of the average congressman, and he can discuss green backs, silver and gold with a readiness that will lift an opponent clean out of bis boots. The Colonel has made the financial question his favorite study and has figures at liis fingers' ends to bear him out in his ready elucidations of that intricate subject. Bush is a friend of thp laboring class, and always appeared as a disinterested advocate of their cause. They have an oil well now that has ' gone crazy. We knew that men, and plenty of them, went crazy, an accou.-jf of oil wells—some went crazy because they slobbered out enormously and others because their peta wouldn't spurt out worth a cent. We just read a story about a test well on thp McCandless farm; (Murray's mill.) in Butlev county. This xvl'll has boon liownig water, of tln i-jia quality, over since il lin* born finished, throw ing it at first about I'H.i foot, but now about 10 toot high. On Sunday morning, about nino o'clock,the family living on th> farm were surprised to hear what they supposed to be thun der.

II AY pa' IE TO OPTHK Sir YFR RILL. President Hayes, on last Thursday, 28 tilt. sent a message to the House ve toing the silver bill. Then both he uses however, passed the bill over the veto, by the constitutional majority, and it is now a law. In the Senate the yeas were 46, nays 19. In the House yeas 196, nay* 73. The following is the veto mes sage : io.'Af-// , c i 'A' :'FYt >i.'.t.'irr .■ After s very careful consideration of bouse hill No 1,095. entitled an act to authorize the ce.nag' of the silver dollar aid to restore i s legal tender character, 1 feci compelled to return it to the houo of representatives, in which it originated, with my objections to its pas-age Holding tho •pinion which I expressed in my annual message, that neither the inUresls of the government r.or the people of the United States would he promoted by disparaging -ilvcr as one of the two precious metals which furnish the coinage of the world, and, that legislation which looks to contracting the volume ot intrinsic money to as full a measure of both metals as their relative commercial value will permit would be neither unjust nor inexpedient, it bus been my earnest desire to concur with congress in the adoption of such nicsjures to increase the silver coinage of the country as would not impair the obligations of contracts, either puolic or private, or injuriou-iy affect the public credit. It is only on the conviction that this bill does not meet these essential requirements that I feel it my duty to withhold from it my approval. My pres ent official duty *• to that bill permits on 1* an attention to the specific objects of the bill, which seem to me to important as to justify me in asking from the wisdom and duty of congress that furtherconsidrr.su n of tne bill for which the c >nt in. • in ;ch way provided The bill provides lor the c i - - - rer dollar of 4121 grain silver, to be a legal tend - t nal value for all del' *n and private, except wh rq ot \ i pressly stipulated in the It is well known that the n.. o ■■ of that number of grains of slat -lard •; t > r during the past year has been fr • • '.*> • '.•2 cen- as compared with the -unda d gold dollar. Thus the silver dollar nuthoriz< i by this bill is worth from 8 to 10 per cent, le.-t than it purports te be worth, and is madv a legal Ui.ter for debu contracted when th* law did not recognise jesb coins as lawful money. The right to ray debts in silver or in certificates of silver deposit will, when they are issued in sufficient amount to cir culate, put an end to the receipt of reven ue on gold, and thus compel the payment of silver for both tho principal and interest of the public debt. Of the public debt now outstanding jl,- 141,493,400 was issued prior to February, !f*4, when tbe silver dollar was unknown In the circulation „f 'his country, and with only n convenient farm of silver bullion for exportation ; $0K>,440,.-W of the bond ed debt has been issued since February, when gold alone was tho coin, for which bonds wero sold and gold alone was the coin in which both parlies to tbe con tract understood that tbe bonds would be paid. Those bonds entered into tbe markets of the world, They were paid for in gold when silver had greatly depreciated, and when no one would haro bought them if it bd been understood they would be patd in silver. The um of $225,000,000 of those bonds have been sold during mv administration for gold coin, and the United Slates re ceived the benefit of those sales by a re duction ofthcratoof interest to four per cent. During the progress of these sales a doubt yas suggested as to the coin in which pavnte;:; of {hose bonds would b* made. Tho public announcement was thereupon authorized that it was not to be anticipated that any further legislation of congress or any action of any department of the government would sanction or tolcr ats tbe redemption of tbe principal of those bonds or the payment of interest thereon in coin exacted by the gevernment in ex change for the same. In view of that fact it w ill bo justly regarded as a grave broach •>f the public faith to undertake to pay those bonds, principal or interest, in sil ver coin worth in tho market less than the coin received for them. It is said that lb* silver dollar made a legal tender by this bill will, under iu operations, bs equivalent in full to the gold dollar. Many supporters of the bill believe this, and it is just an attempt to pay debts, eith er public or private, in coin of inferior val ue to tho money of the world. Tbe capital defect of tho measure is that it contain! ao provision protecting from its operations pre-existing debts, in case the coinage which it creates shall continue to be of less value than that which was tbe sole legal tender when they wero contract ed. It is now propose.!, for the purpose : taking advantage ot the depreciation ol . silver in the payment of debts, to coin and make a legal tender a silver dollar of less commercial value than a dollar, whether ' of K old or paper, which is now lawful 1 money of this country. Such a measure, it will hardly be ques tioned, will in tho judgments of mankind, be an act of bad faith as to all debts h. i.- . tofore contracted. Tbo silver dollarshoul4 he u. tender only at its market is,! •. 'i. . standard of value should m-l v g. i without the consent of bu . p contract. National promi*' kept with unflinching fidelity.

It is my Arm conviction that if th o country is to be benefited by aeilver coinage, it can be done only by the issue of silver dollar* of full value, which will defraud no man ; and currency worth less than it purports to be will In tho end defraud not only creditors but all who are cngugod in legit imate business, and none more assuredly than those who are dependent on their daily labor for their daily bread (Signed) BUTIIKKVORII B. IIAYCS, President of the United States Executive Mansion, Feb. "-JB, 1878. • Tho message was read amidst profound silence, and ut its conclusion Mr. Stephens moved the previous question on the pas sage of the bill oyer the veto.
