SLMI'SON AFRICA, of Huntingdon N 11 Schrnck, County superintend ent, of Cameron county, is being tried on charge* of neglect of duty and c. - duct unbecoming an ofocer ami a gen tleman, before a commission in session at Kmporium. That's the way to do with all public officers. If they don't do what is right, haul them over the coals. It ha* been too much the rule to let them go. The Morning Patriot truly says, the extraordinary fact that it now coats more to carry on the slate government under republican management than it did during the war and immediately af ter it, when the prices of everything were at the highest point, is one that every tax-payer should constantly keep in mind, and especially when bo goes to the election. It should also be kept in mind that ever since the democrats ceased to hold power iu this state thecx penses of every year for carrying on the government have exceeded those of the previous year. New sources of revenue are constantly hunted up, taxes are in creased year by rear, and yet the expen se- are kept upon a corresponding in crease 1 Asn example, it coats more now to carry on the state department by one-third than it cost under Gov Packer to carry on both that ami the executive departments! This ratio of difference will hold good in every other department of the state government. The public btmlens of every kind are in creased. the people are growing poorer day by day, yet public expenses are con stantly increased by the republican party which pays no attention to the universal wail of hard times and offers no terms of relief! Tbo same is relatively true of natiou al affairs. Will not people reflect before they cast their votes for a party that thus recklessly oppresses thent ? The Missouri grecnbackors adopted the following platform last week: The repeal of the Specie Resumption act and the issue of absolute money; that all bonds be immediately redeemed in alt solute money .equivalent to coin ; thnt the Const I'ation be amended so as to restrain Congress from exempting any property or credit from taxation, and from granting any subsidies; the reduc tion of all States and municipal official salaries. It deprecates the exemption of United States bonds from taxation and all doable taxation; denounce the present avstem of conrict labor: favon such changes in the public [school sys tem ns will establish mechanical and commercial schools, favors the improve ment of all Western navigable water* and urges that the General Government build, own and eonUol the StLouisand. San Francisco Railway. It demands that each sex shall receive eqaal pay for equal work, and the abrogation of all i laws that do not bear equally upon laloi and capital, and urges the adoption of measures insuring health and safety to those engaged in mining, manufacturing or building pursuits. It opposes the in troduction of Chinese labor, and pro nounces against strikes, revolutions and ail violent measures for tho relief of la bor. It favors the enactment of laws, giving mechanics and laborers a first lien on all descriptions of their work for their full wages and finally invites the cooperation of all honest citizens. WORTH HEARING. —We notice thakthe Fourth of July Committee of Arrange* ments,at Philipeburg, have secured ex- Governor A. G. Curtin aa Orator of the I*y. This of itself will cause many of the ex-Governor'a old friends and ac quaintances to celebrate the Fourth, for the sole purpose of meeting him. And it might so happen that they could per suade him to run for Congress this ball, and thereby torn the ex-Russian Pleni potentiary to practical account again. The potency of his experience and ac quaintance in a Representative capacity like this cannot be overestimated. With Curtin in the Halls of Congress, repre senting tho XXth district, would confer honor alike on the constituent and the Representative.—Clearfield Republi can, dem. Gov. Curtin woald no doubt make d congressman of whom the district would feel proud; his ability, experience and influence would be a great addition to the Pennsylvania delegation when the interests of the state needed that kind of services in the national legislature. Gov. Curtin would fill the whole bill. Twolivecfor a glass Jof rum, is the shocking heading to the following: A special fronv Stubenvillc, Ohio, states that on the night of the 4th inst. John Stewart, while intoxicated, applied for more liquor atM'Cann's saloon, and be* ing refused took position behind a tree on the opposite side of the street from theßaloon, and when M'Cann and hi-, little son appeared at the door shot and killed them both. A citizen passing at the time received a portion of the shot in his arm. Now Eliza Sherman's witness who swore for him that the democrats had murdered her husband and abused her jn Louisiana, comes for ward and says that her testimony was false, and that she [was given SSOO to swear to it —that she was ignorant, and did not know better, and that her hus band was not murdered by democrats. When John Sherman returned from Louisiana as one of the visiting states men it will be remembered he raised a big howl over the testimony of Eliza. What a Bet of scamps those fellows are. Damaged| goods—Sherman and Mat thews. Goods 2 that nobody claims—R. B, Hayes. Grantclubs are already forming, fav oring his nomination in ISBO. What triumph for the thieves his election would be. Dill is popular all over the state, — Hoyt is under par, the peoplo aro tired of the Cameron ring. Dill will carry Union and Snyder and beat Hoyt generally. Th people want an honest istate government, and no more Cameron ring rule. It is a significant fact that Dill's 9 years In the senate does not leave the repub licans a flaw to pick. John'Sherman's sable Louisiana sweet heart, Eliza Pinkston, has gone back on him. Hayes has gone back on his civil ser vice order issued a year ago, and his of fice holders ean contribute to the cor ruption fund and play curbstone politi cian much as they please. The last witnon—nnd a creditable ono too —Webber, brother of the murdered one in liOuisimia, gave testimony a few days ago before the Potter committee, and swear* that the Sherman letter if gcnulr.t*i\nd that John wrote it, and that he promised to have Anderson and Webber, dee d, taken care of it they managed to count l United States and Kuropo was deiaouetiiad in sfouUli itu.l -ecrecv.

From Pitkin's, Marshal of La., testi mony Mr. llutler referred to tlte state ment just made by Mr. Mahon in regard to the agreement having been made to makd tlte fraudulent count of Louisiana effectual. Mr. Butler then said to wit ness—"Before going into secret seession I 1 desire to ask you if you had any con- I versation with either Mr. Haw ley or Mr. Harlan before they returned to Washington after tho recognition of the Xicholls government?" A. Yes, sir, 1 had. Q. What was said about providing for those who had lent the administra tion their services? A. They said that whea they arrived in Washington they would see Mr. Hayes and arrange to have all the leadiug republicans who had borne tho brunt of the ork in Louisiana taken care of. AXD HE STOPPETII THE n EPOR TE E. Our esteemed county treasurer, after proscribing the Reporter in the patron age of his office, now follows up hi- war of extermination by ordering the Repor ter to be stopped! This is "the most unkindest cut of alltruly, alllictions never come singly. What's the matter with Musser—what? What has tho Re porter done that he should thus ruth lessly proscribe it? What will Dan read now, when he denies the welcome Re porter to his eyes? We hardly know unless it be the History of Centre Co.. somewhere about page IS4 whore ha can study the character of "the leading bus iness man"—fine reading we suggest But why stopi>eth he the Reporter— perhaps to make the Reporter stop, like the fellow who stopped the Tribune, and a few years after was surprised to find it still going on when he had stop ped it years before. The Reporter help ed Mtisner out of the mire when it help ed to drag him through when the peo ple didn't want him. Oh fire, what conld make him go back on us so ! Has some evil one whispered bad things into his ears about the always good Reporter —told him that we were a seducer of the fair sex, got office under false pre tense or violated pledges, or that wo wereou ingrate ? Or why should he be thus cruel to the Reporter to even vio late law, in proscribing the Reporter aud denying it tho pittance from un seated land advertising, to an extent that the court* twice had to block his petty game of proscription? We can not close this Jeremiade without quoting some poetry that expresses the phelings of our heart —the lines a cre written I'>. C., and if uncle Daniel can]see the point we will send him tho Reporter 2 weeks gratis. Here are our sentiments: Mammoth cave, oh what a spot. Id summer cold, in winter hot. Groat God.Almighty what ai wonder, General Jackson,[hell and thunder. Adieu, Daniel, adieu ! your office ex pires Jan. 1, A. D. '79. Watterson, of the I.ouisviito Courier- Journal and ex-member of Congress, gives as a reason why Stanley Matthews {to whom he is related) does not appear before the Potter Committee, that if bo did so he would have to give testimony damaging to the de facto President, He prefers the censure of the public to the betrayal of a friend. This leaves his Frauaulency upder a criminal imputa tion. The case of T). G Dricsbach against tbo Second National bank of Scranton, charging thin institution with usury, was tried in the United States court at Will iarusport, and a verdict obtained in favor of the bank. Under a decision of Judges Strong and M'Kenna it is held that na tional banks have a right to charge as high a rate of interest as state banks. Old Centre is Dill to the core—repub licans of the honest rtrije and who pant foTirelbrm will help swell Dill's majority. All honor to them.

Late advices Bey there is another rev olution brewing in Mexico. A crop that never fails down there. A large band of Indians attacked a scouting party a few days ago, killing one and wounding three.

Yankton, Dak., Juno 21.—-The young men at Spotted Tail's camp, arc ju-t con cluding their annual sun dance, and the barbarous festival lias been one of more than ordinary success. Forty-eight can didates passed through the terrible ordeal of sidf-forture, thus becoming entitled to full diploma, ui warriors of unquestioned bravery. The ceremony is as follows - The can didate for honors cut two longitudinal si its down each breast, and under the strip of skin and ilesh enclosed by the incident one end of a lariat is passed and lightly tied. The other end of the lariat is then, made fast to the top of a high pole, and tho candidate throws himself backward with his woight upon tho lariat. The dance then goes on until tho flesh gives wny. Should he fail to break loose in the man ner prescribed, or should ho faint during tho operation, ho is forever disgraced. The dance just closed was held about fifteen milvs back from tho Missouri river, and was witnessed by about 7,(W0 Indians aad 25 whites. Old Spotted Tail was master of ceremonies. ENTERTAINING AND INSTRUC TIVE SABBATH READING. Frank Leslie's Sunday Magazine for the month of August is promptly on our table and presents very strong claims for liberal palronago. This is a publication which commends itself aliko to the religious com munity and to the general public. While distinctively religious, it is altogether treo from sectarianism; the aim of tho ltover end Editor, Dr. Charles F. Deems, is to render tho magazine worthy of universal acceptation; to blend in its largely miscel- Urinous contents, entertainment with in struction, mid withitl to inculcato princi ples ot religion, virtue and morality and to do this in a most pleasurable manner. The original articles, and nil the selections are eminently calculated to excrciso a heneticial inllunnce; and noono, wo think can possibly tail to be greatly edified by the perusal of tbo pages of this oxcellenl publication. One can pleasantly and pro fitably while awav|un hour with it between the church services; nnd those who arc not church attendants, but who abstain, con scientiously, from novel-reading on Sun day, will not sutfer from weariness and ennui if provided with this delightful companion. The subjects embraced in the Contents are exceedingly varied and all the articles are replete with pure sentiments, and hap py, pleasant thoughts, Each number is, in fact, a most enjoyable literary banquet. The August nurnMr is crowded with good things; prominent among them are Pro fessor Wells's article on "John Peter Lange" (with portrait); ' Itfligion and Beneficence,' by the ltev Parsons Cooke "Half Truths"; "All Kinds of Babies," by Kliner, Lynndc; "Paul at tho Tomb berv of the grave of tho son of I resident llnrri oust North llond,Ohio, has led to Mtill more shocking discoveries.

The vaults of the oollege were promptly searched. A correspondent of the Cin cinnati Kii'juirer, who accompanied the otlicers, gives a horrifving aeeount of what was discovered. The narrative of the night visit to the cellar is evidently too highly colored ; but inahUc. allow ante for the e\i.ggc,.oioutf of an excite t reporter, enough undoubted fact remains to till us with indignation and amuse* tnent. Forty corpses were found "pick "ling" in vats of brine. They w ere turn ed out on the floor, and among them was the body of lHrvin, easily identified by certain marks. After aw rangte with the college jwoplo, who at first refused to give it up, until tin y had been paid for tbeiv tronbleand labor (M, it was at last returned to the grave from which it had heen stolen. The express com panv"s receipts Indicated that as many as thirteen of the pickled subjects had recently been obtained from Morton'* coring establishment, in the cellar of the Cincinnati College. Naturally there is the greatest ext ito uunt ever thai a discoveries, and (tie w\lde*t stories are circulating in Cincin nati and elsewhere about tho systematic pillaging of cemeteries nnd. brutal mal treatment of the stolen dead. Whatever mav be the truth about such rumors, it is clear enough, tirst, that members of the medical profession are extensively engaged in the theft of subjects for dis section ; secondly, that hacfasUoSCuine is, iuu perpetrator* aggravate it by a shocking disregard of the sanctities of death ; and thirdly, that college profes sors and other reputable doctors defend the business of the resurrectionist as be ing necessary, though it may uot be pre cisely legitimate. • ♦ ♦ jIMroUTAbT DKt lSltiN lit lilt RERUN CuNt.KE-.* I Notwithstanding the prolt*U of cn.ui ; V&te-l ltoumania aguirttl jrre:.dc:.; g t her bcnsfaciorterriu ry which wa wrcttci from 11..*:.* *ii I annexed to a fur*.*! province by the a'.iu ■ of l.sii, the (' ; gross has fnalljr dendedthnt 3'o*i.r*bu I mult t -long tgiiii to !t-..iv |.:.cri.r| , this ot.e #: ti..- in.j. riant ; *u!t- . the v•: land th* - vorthrow of Turkkh p ' t Danube Valley, Prince ti :tn< hak-:1 mi. • feel olato.l Tho Treaty of Pari* ii nullif ed by the very aliiw who,forced it* hurt! terms on It.; ia.

TRUTH REGARDING A STORY THAT STARTLED THE COUNTRY. FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR A FALSE OATH AND A LITTLE DRAMA. Secretary Sherman's Hilarious Laugh Over tho Way Gov. Bigler Wns Taken In. [N. Y. Herald of Saturday.] During tho counting of tho Presidential vote of Louisiana, in New Orleans, before the Returning Board and tho visiting | statesmen, in November, 1870, the country [ was startled and shocked by the introduc tion, as the Tictini of and witness to savage Democratic bull-dozing, of a colored wo man named Eliza Pinkston. .She had boon severely wounded, was apparently dying, wus brought in to give testimony lying on a sofa or scttco and gnvo a re markably succinct aud dramatic statement to tho effect that hor husband, Henry Pinkston, had been dragged out of his cabin by a gang of Democrats and mur dered before her oyes because hp was a prominent Republican, and that tho sntno gang then brutally beat, cut and shot her. A correspondent of tho Horuhl chanced to learn a few wcoks ago that Ellas was still alive j that sbo had recovered from her wounds; had married again, and had removed to Mndison county, Miss., where she and her now husband, Waymond Pritchnrd, a respcctablo colored man, were living on tho land of Mr. W. .1. Mosby, as tenants. Tho Herald corre spondent had the curiosity to visit Eliza and talk with her, and finally procured from her and from hpr present husband tho sworn statements which follow. It will he seen that Eliza hero states under oath: Firtt— That she was induced to nppear beforo tho returning Bonrd and mnkn tho statement there given by two Republicans O. H. Brewster and Dinkgrnro.
