The Republicans of Allegheny count
have a little unpleasantness amot

republican Ucket in the field.

priation of Sherman askci.

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.

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. P. Rrown
developed into the great champion 1,1
the oil producing interests Mr. Hills
poeition on this question was well mi
derstood. In the legislative session of
is:;. Mr. Hill voted on all question- nf
footing the oil interests with the friend ,
of a free pipe law When the hill W|ii

corporations. Senator Havis did no.
conceal his opposition' t>> the measure
and his object in making this moim
was to strangle it or load it down will,
amendments that would render it inef
fective. Senator Hill voted "no," with
the friends of the ftee pipe bill U"-
motion. When the bill was brought up
on second reading Senator Hill wa ab
sent in Washington without notice bin
vote was yeas. '-T, nays \\ so that V:s
presence would have been of no avail.

back in search of the record. Ihe re.,
struggle over the free bill e >' Hie
session of 1 ATS. 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."

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 <fcc,
and shall name in their Ixtlloti the per
son voted for as President, and in dis-
tinct ballots, the person voted for as
Vice President. Prom that time to pre
vious to the presidential election of 1876
every President and Vice President has
been elected in accordance with the pro
visions of Art, XII of the amendments
to the Constitution of the I*. 8. In 1870
the last presidential election was held.
The democratic party placed innomina-
tion Sam'! J. Tilden for President and
T. A. Hendricks for Vice President. The
republicans nominated It. P. Hayes for
President and W. A. Wheeler for Vice
President. The election was held, and
'liiden and Hendricks having a large
majority of the popular vote, were re-
turned to be elected, li thM-o we" '

tion am! the people of iheir chosen

exercising a power without constitution
al right in electing a President and Vin-,
•President.
Now it is said and argued by men ami
adi <cated by many of the public press
of both parties, that President llayes
should not l>o disturbed in the p scis
sion of the office he holds, whether his
title to it be good or had, even if show n,
by tie investigation to be founded by!
fraud (which annuls it whether he
v,as or was not personalty privy to the
act, directly or indirectly, his right foi
the time being is valid and irreversible,'
because it was deem 1 fr. m the verdict
of w hat is called the Electoral Commis
sion. Now let us see and inquire, with
out intending to urge any adverse action
to that opiu.oii, whether it is round po- ,
litieal doctrine, t- say nothing of its
policy. 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? This he
can not truthful!} say. 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.
It is an established principle of law.
that an agent > an not exceed his authori
ty, an-.l this principle should be insisted
upon and enforced w ith as much energy
and jcalousv as the importance of the
people transcends that of any Individ
ual. 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<silently submit to such a wrong
and usurpation are not worth the liber
tics they give away so oas'.lv, and if this
is to be the foundation our national gov
ernment i to rest on, it is not worth a
revolution to preserve it.
But, is the title to the presidency so
obtained, constitutional, and if it is, then
congress, acting beyond its authority,
can after the constitutional method ol
electing a President of the United States
in spite of the people, and therefore
amend or ev*n abclidj our federal Con
stitution altogether in order to meet any
imaginable emergency for which it has
not provided, and for which congress may
choose to provide any present remedy
that may seem expedient by the politi
cal parties therein represented. But
political parties did not make the gov
ernmunt nor can they nor their repre
sentatives unmake it. The powers of the
government arc derived from the people
only and as expressed
tion, and any power they have not
granted expressly or by fair implication
to every branch of the government can
not be exercised unless by usurpation,
and therefore is void. In our own state
we had the "Buck-shot war," w hen it was
boldly proclaimed to treat the election
"as if it had not been held." Did the
people of Pennsylvania then submit?
no, to their credit and patriotism—they
rose in their strength ami despoiled the
intriguers and secured their chosen and
elected governor- and so it ever should
be ; and now if it is clearly proven that
Mr. Ilaycs was not legally elected, but
holds the olllcc by fraud, forgery and
perjury, why should he not be removed?
Have we a Cromwell indeed amongst us,
usurping the administration of our gov
ernment? if so, it is a glaring fact this
is a land, in which, now at least, any
Ceasar might easily cross the Rubicon
and enslave the American Union.
What have we before us? the present
congress on this very question, with the
fraud proven before the Potter commit
tee, of the illegality of Mr. Hayes' sos
called election papers, a resolution that
neither the Supreme Court of the U. S.,
nor any future Congress can molest Mr.
Hayes in his office, which involves this
absurdity, that one House of Represen
tatives can pass or enact a law that no
succeeding Congress can alter, amend or
repeal without the consent of the par
ties who may he highly interested in
opposing the intcrposition/if Congress.
I.et the result of the investigatingcorn
mitteo be what it may, there is one
thing patent to prevent a like occurrence I
—that is an amendment to the national!
Constitution in the manner of electing a
President and Vice President by a direct
vote of t!ie people, in the place of the
machinery of Presidential Electors —
anil hereafter prevent the frauds, for
geries andfperjurics of returning boards
and place hunters.

I GENERAL Bt'TI.KK DISSENTS
FROM THE VIEWS OK THE JU
DICTA K V COMMITTEE ON
H.VYKS TITLE.
i Waihington, June IS.—General ltull-r
! *- an individual member of the judiciary
1 committee to-day submitted to tho hou,"
. ef representatives hit reasons f r dissent
; ing from the reaolution and report of the
. majority in regard to tbo inviolability of
Mr. Hayet' title. He argues at groat
length that the *upreruosc<urt has power
to take cognizance ot the alleged frauds.
He criticites the proposition to refer the
mßltcr to the tupremc court, but tavs the
true starting point is in the sixth section of
1 the electoral commission, act of January,
1-77, which speaks of procuring ia the ju
v dicinl courts of the United States without
i restricting possible inquiry to the supreme
. court of the District of Columbia, which
t would have jurisdiction to h,.ir ai.d try on
, information in the nature ot a quo warran
, to filed by the attorney general at the in
stigation of any citizen contesting the litle
of any officeholder in the District. May
not such powers bo conferred on any citi
zen or court of the United States. As to
the person of Mr. Hayes Genera! Hutk-t
r ays. Whence cotnes this novel doctrine
" that he i* above the law of the land. God
t forbid that a President of the United
States should ever commit a common
crime; but if he were to do .• is he not
amenable to the law therefor? If ho
usurps the possession of the properly of
another may he not be sued in the courts?
and yet according totlie theory of thecom
inittee he may commit the greatest possi
ble act of illegality, usurp ition of his of
fice without amenablcness to the judiciary
or any other power. Ido most earnestly
protest against all such aggerations of the
office of the President. No man in the
United States, bo ho high or low, is nbove
the law and I dopiore the actual condition
of the presidency, to maintain which un
challenged wise and good men nro driven
to such despernte resorts of argument.
General Butler sums up the situation
about as follows : It is claimed by n ma
jority of tho committee that if by forco or
fraud, by forgery and perjury, by corrup
tion and bribery, a man may buy or de
fraud a congress into counting forged elec
toral certificates of fraudulent votes and bo
allowed to usurp thereby the office of Pres
ident of the United States there is no rem
edy against his exercise ot the high duties
of that offlco and wielding all its great
powers for four years within the powers
of the constitution. It will not admit that
our fathers made any such constitution or
frame of government for tho welfare of the
people- I cannot admit that thcro is no
remedy for so great a wrong known to a
republican form of government guarded
by constitutional checks and balances and
legal and judicial remedies. If so, then
our republican form of government is a
failure and will go out in eight and dark
ness to the extinction of popular rights
and be succeeded by a government in
which the army shall put up at auction for
the highest bidder tho right to excrciso su
preme executivo power, as was done in the
Roman empire. Then indeed is no remii
dy left us but revolution instead of the
peaceable one through the action of the
judicial courts.

Isoon as my business is over your corres

the work of (retting recruits foi the Repor
ter readers. The crop prospect here is all
that the most sanguine could wish, for
never was a better one in all the history of
this section of the country. The small
grain promises n most bountiful harvest
particularly so the winter wheat and rye;
the apring wheat is made up principally
lot what is known * grass wi>eat, and it i
naturally very slow in getting a start, and
to one not acquainted with its qualities |
would think it did not amount to much
any way. So beyond all doubt it is safe

tiLIND LETTERS."
Hie average of misdirected latter* in the
New-York P st-Office it over ftU) a day ;
'.he day 1 was there last it ran up to about
l.tktt. Iho luost difficult iff tkw#e go to
Mr. >: no, who i# called "the blind man.
perhaps becituss he tan decipher any in
scription that i# utterly illegible to any
other man in America llis must difficult
ca-es are the foreign letters. Hero it *
letter directed to "Snnduik," which he
make* cut to be .Sandy llouk. Sometime*
the arrangement of the name unJ aJdratt
it curious,
" Kor A1 r lliomas
Smith bridge
|K>rt pot office
Conn. America."
i# very plain when you ..nee understand
that it 1# "Far Air. Thoint# Smith, liruige-
I'ort, Conn , America llut when a man
say# "Hoio," how is anybody but a blind
man te know that he meant Ohio'' One
letter reads, "Bet Feet Hue da Agua."
Now the blind man knows that "Hue de
Agua is Spanish for Water street, and
thallberc :#a Water street in New-tied

Co.; and "Common County. 1' A.," i#
made into Cameron County, Penntylva-
nia. ll.it who would guess that "Overn
U. D Learey," in one line, means that it
is to go to Jiiara, in search ofC. D. L- ?
(•no let;.: • directed to "Kunvtanxer
[ Brauertu, 1., Amenka." Mr, Stone
I reeollecli the fact that Constance's Brew
' • ry is at Simpleton, Stateri Island, and the
letter is sent there. He reads "loel" into
i lowa, and "te Pel.a in Yomah ' he makes
to go to Pclla, in tho tame State. Ner
1 dues Ohio get of] with one miss. Here is
\ one letter that wants t • go to "Sladl Hioh
Zur.sounati, Stra'-e 15' that is, to the
State of Ohio, Cicrinnati, Stieet 15. Hut
thai is not all. Tins other one wants to
| : each the same city ; but it has a had spell
••f another kind, for its direction runs
"Scilxnaty." And then "Piaxo Uurg
Me.-scssip,' is ent to Yickaburg. Michi
gan is spelled "mulling." "Glassworks
Berkshire" is sent lo PitUfielJ, in Berk
shire County, Massachusetts, where there
is a glau factory. Hut the hardest one 1
saw was addressed t "John Hermann i
Schinncn," in one line, with the wonJer
ful word "Staguckaundo" for the rest.
Mr. Stone cut the word in twain, and reasi
it Chautauqua County," while he trans
lated the whole into "John Hermann,
Sherman P. 0., Chautauqua County, N.
Y."
Hut there arc some which even a blind
r.ian cannot inuko out. One letter in rath
er a good handwriting is very vaguely ad
dressed to
"Mackny, E q, Au.erique."
Another reads :
"Too much of this.
"From your affectionate son,
"ASTON HiKsiHVß',cn."
In this case, the close of the letter has
been copied exactly by some one who did
not understand the language. Instead ol
too much of this, there is really too little.
But here is a case where the top of the let
ter has been perfectly copied in the same
fashion. It reads : "Tuesday Evening,
Nord America."
If "Tuesday Evening" should see this
aiticle, lie will knew that liis letter hat
gone back again to Europe.— Scribner' *.
