The senate on l" defeated the appro priation of Sherman askci. for to pay the visiting sUtesmen who stole 1/OtiWann from Tilden. Conklinf made a speech against the little bill, anc somebody else may foot the expense 1 et Hayes asses* the office bold em un der his frandnieut admlnisti.it.on. A republican organ says that the de feated radicals of Oregan have saveo their honor. We did not know that then was any more honor left for that party if there is it is to precious little that it needs saving. The nigger is no longer in the wood pile now -politics is rid of that fellow , for the African is now a man and a voter. But there is another fellow in the wood pile, hid there for mischief. This chap is the public plunderer, the thief an. political jobber. It is him the honest voterand tax-payer has to watch. Millions of money have been taken out of the public treasury for years by tha thieving politician who has begutl • ed the honest masses with glib tongue and honied words of honest profession in order to slip into office. This is the fellow in the woodpile now who needs watching, else the last cent of the peo ple's rnouey will be stolen and increa.— ed indebtedness left for the taxpayer, farmer and workingman, to provide tor out of hardearnings and low wages. If the people will not use the power they have to elect honest men, it serves them right if they are cheat*! The ballot box has been given us by the founders of our free government that we might protect ourselves and prevent bac mcu from getting into, places of trust. I; is a great power in the bands of tin people, bat how carelessly is it used The people thereby have the potrer to correct abuses and pass condemnation upon the corrupt and uufaithful public servant and that power must be used if wo desire lew rascality. Enormous abuscs'in the navy depart ment under Sec'y Kobeson are just now being unearth*! by Mr. Glover's inves tigating committee. Hundredsjof million* have been squandered underpins man agement since the close of the war, and yet the United States tinus itself with out an efficient navy—only rotten craft that would fail in any emergency, hor the $400,000,000 spent we should have the best navy in the world instead of the meanest. Instead of that enormous sum going into serviceable vessels ii has gone down into the pockets of political job bers. Robeson and all who were con nected with his corrupt management of the navy should be sent to the peniten tiary—they are guilty of a great crime against the nation. The smaller thieve in other places should also be dealt witl. in a similar manner, and when it comes to the primary elections and to the poll* tl.e man who is known to be of doubt ful integrity should be spotted. Politics can not be purified in any other way.l The people, we repeat, must take this thing in hands—they have the pow er. lilaino got in some ''stalwart" talk against llaycs on Monday, while the Senate was considering an appropriation of f6,000 to pay the expenses of the Louisiana Commission, whic had been advanced by the First National Bapk of New York. Blaine opposed it in a bristling speech, setting forth that the cnlv work the Commission did was to overthrow the title of Governor Pack ard, which was equally as good as the title of President Haven. McDonald of Indiana, asked him if be intended to assail the President's title, whereat Blaine retorted: "No ; I only mean to defend a title which rests on equal ground with his own." The appropria tion to reimburse the hank was lost, and unless John Sherman repays it out of his own pocket, it will be charged to the profit and loss account. In this issue we print the annual report of Col. Slifer, Pres't L. C. A 8. C. RR The report goes to show that our road is not yet a profitable thing for the money invested—but this is a time of general de pression when railroads all over the coun ty are suffering along with all branches ot industry. The President in bis report Urges the extension of the road to Centre Hall, and thinks this is necessary to in crease the traffic on the road and swell its earnings. This is undoubtedly true— the road would secure a largely increased psengers and freight traffic by an exten sion to this place. The entire trade of the upper end would bo reached, and add largely to the net earnings of the road. "Wo are hopeful efthis extension. In last week's Keportfcr we mentioned the action taken by our board at its an nual meeting in Philadelphia the week previous, when a resolution was adopted urging the extension of the road to Centre Hall, and the appointment of a committee to ccnfer with the Penna KB., in this re gard. As a result of that action Mr. Ferris one ol the company's engineers Whs last week ordered upon the line be tween Spring Mills and Centre Hall, which was long ago graded and about 2 • miles ballasted, to make an estimate of the cost of the extension. The engineer reached this point on Thursday evening, 'JO, and finds that part'of the roadbed much belter preserved than he expected having been so long exposed to the washing of the rains. From this circumstance we look for favorable estimates, which will look hopeful for the extension of the road to this placo, though we are getting kind of used to disappointments. The Penn's BR. can not honorably deny tbi any longer. They bave given u plcdg* that ■heuld J hare been redeemed ere thif, While they exacted prompt compliance With the obligation* given by our people, and they were prompt to repnd. The extension to Centre Hall—6 miles—will •ecure all in thi* valley, who took stock in this valley some advantages— hence simple justice will permit no farther de lay in it. fiamuel Calvin it seems may get the greenback nomination for congress in the Blair district. Oregon comes out right after all. The Democrats have elected their Gover nor, have the Legislature and United States Senator and the member of Con gress. The Valley Forge centennial was cele brated on 19. There was a large military display and from 40 to 50,000 people present.' On last Wednesday the schooner Eothen left New York for the Arctic re gions to march for the relics ofSir John franklin. nrrs AXD VIPFRS Hoyt pipers are already piping falsely with reference to Mr. Hill's position on free pipe lines. The Morning Patriot quiets their misrepresentations with the following: No man in Pennsylvania j ever pretended to dettht the position of Senator Hill on the free pipe hill until i he became a candidate for governor and it became the intcrvst,of personal rivals and their adherent* to malign and mis represent him. l.ong before 11.

There can be "" take concerning the |>oition of senator on either aide of the question in this session. Senator Hill not only voted tor the bill m all its stages but was Hie ablest advocate of its passage on tin door of the Senate. His speech was u - ceived with the greatest delimit by the friends of the bill and w.is published sad republished with strong couuuei.dA tion in the eutire oil producing region. In that speech the senator clearly and forcibly presented the grounds in favor of the bill. The bill, he argued, was in harmony with the "M allaiv Act, wiiii • w as made necessary by the constitution. This act and every amendment to i: for meeting the necessities of the peop.* liad receiveil hte supfwrt. The object of the bill was "to che*|wjn the tr.ms portation.to provide open competition iu traile, and e.jnal facilities for trans portation to the markets >ftbe world by Che eheajiest, swiftest and most natural mode to let it run to the sea. as it comc.- from the bowels of the earth impei-ed by its own forces." To the constitutional objections rased by Senator Herrund >ther opponent- •■•f the bill, Senator Dill argued that the leg islature has already granted the privi lege of convey iug oil in pipes in eight counties of the state. As this privilege had been exercised for years and had been sustained by the courts the ques tion of its constitutionality cannot now be raised. Senator Dill then described iu strong terms the oppressive character of the Standard monopoly who have complete control of the market buy ing the crude oil when they to buy, not when the producer wishes to sell, and selling refined oil when they have manipulated prices so as to su.t them, fie concluded : "Therefore 1 favor this bill— it is a free pipe law—like the fret railroad law —the free telegraph law the day of special and exclusive privi leges has passed away. The oil produc ers have the right to demand the privi leges proposed to be granted by this bill, and they look to it as affording the only means of relief from almost intolerable burdens, and 1 am for it." THE HOTTER COMMITTEE Of IS VEST Hi A TIOS Ot MR, JIA YES" TITLE. Art. 2, Sec. 1, of the Constitution of the United State® provides the manner for election of President and Vice Presi dent of the U. S., and declares that "each state shall appoint a number of electors equal to the whole number of senators and representatives to which each state shall be entitled in congress, Ac. That the "electors shall meet in their respective stages and vote by bal lot for tiro persons," Ac. And they shall make a list of all pereons'voted f -r, and of the number of Totes for each, which list they shall]' sign and certify and transmit sealed to the seat of govern ment directed to the President of the senate ; the President ofSenate shall in presence of the Senate and House of Representatives open all the certificates, and the votes shall then be counted. The person havingtho greatest number of votes shall be President, if such num ber be a majority of the whole number of electors appointed ; and if there be more than one who have such majority and have an equal number of votes, the House of Representatives shall irnmedi- ately choose by ballot one of them for President," Ac. Washington and the elder Adams were elected President un der the provisions of this article. A new election was now approaching—the re publican and democratic party nomina ted Jefferson as their candidate for President and Aaron Burr for Vice President as it then was understood and intended. The federals nominated Mr. Adams and Gen. Pinckyss their candi dates. At the election Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Burr were elected. But a more untoward and unlocked for event now occurred. By the Constitution as it ex isted at that period each elector voted for two men. without designating which was to be President—and whoever ob tained the greater number of votes was to be the President and the neare-t to him Vice President. Mr. Jefferson and Col. Burr had an equal number of votes and fhe election according to the Consti tution was to be decided by the House of Representatives, and it most singular ly occurred that the states for a long time were equally divided between Mr. Jefferson and Col. Burr. The time limited by the Constitution for the se lection of a President had nearly arriv ed and there was danger that the gov ernment must come to a pause or he re solved into its original .elements, when two of tho federal members withdrew and permitted the republicans to be come a majority, consequently on the thirty sixth balloting Mr. Jefferson was elected President and Obi. Btirrofcourse Vice President. To prevent a like oc currence thereafter, an amendment to the Constitution wan made in 1803, which ie the XII art. of the amend ments, viz: "The electors ahull meet in their respective states and vote lv bal lot for President and Vice President .yds of Soutli Carolina, I-ri l.i and l.o'u-in tin iii counting the eUvtmal \.>t id iliciso tut"? for lluyi > A heeler.

Will any man pretend that any person can hold the presidency of the ivcrunient except by the constitution al method? will he pretend that the electoral Commission which seated Mr. Haves, was such u method?

Then President Hayes hold* the office by the action of a body of fifteen men, created by uu otber body, which had no legal or con stitutional power, expressed or implied, to create it.

The unavoidable inference is that Mr. Ilayes has no legal or constitutional right to the office he occupies, and the persons from whom he received it. had no legal or constitutional right to con vey it. If a man can be put into the presidential office by means unknown to the constitution, by power uugranted by the people in the faci of fraudulent return of the voita of the Klecloral.Col leges in any state, then the government established by the people is already re volutionized and Mcxioanizod and peo ple wh! and Fondon ' for tlii' two week* ended June I' were ,v?4n live i nitio iiml I >,lo quarters of beef; and MhipinentM from this |iort to r iron I liritMin for tbo week ended Juno 111 woio l.lt'Ki out tie nlivo ami N.U'JO quar tern, while from Ib-xton, Montreal, Phil adelphia iiinl I'ortland more Uian fttHt i oattle were shipped and at loaat t.'.'oit t quarters of boot.
