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<ouisiana for IToyes.
This shows that Mrs. Jenks, like Klian
Pinkaton, waaa sot up job. Sherman is
unfortunate in his female help" s . He
cooks up a broth, hut it always biles
OTcr and burns his fingers.
Speaker Randall, at the grand iwop
tion given him by the lVmocrntie t on
tral Association, of Philadelphia, in his
smooch thus alluded to the work o' the
democratic congress:
l.et me tell you what the past Con
gress has done." In the t'trst place one of
the brightest sjHits on its escutcheons i
tho paaog oof the army bill. I'liia bill
takes from the President or lus repre
aentatives the power to use the army as
a posse com'lotus to enslave and stihju
gato the fire© people of any State. Mr.
Hayes lias already instritelod his Secre
tary of War to obey the law, and 1 con
sider its aeeomplishments as a triumph
for the lVtnocracy that will live for a
century and boar forlli good fruit. Next
the last Congress is worthy of commen
dation in that they procured a se'tle
tuent two ween the government and the
Pacific Hatlroads, and it is now a law
that they shall pay into the Putted
States Treasury fIjMO.OOO a year, to l c
set aside a* a sinking flttul for the bonds
issued to them. The House has said
that hereafter all Southern war claims
shall be adjudicated by the judiciary of
the United States, and that t'ongress can
have nothing to do with their consider
ation. This act alone has taken away
one of the most jmleut of the campaign
thunders of our opponents aud has si
leneed them forever in that respect. In
addition to this the last Congress, in
answer to the great manufacture ng inter
ests of the country, has repealed ttie
bankrupt law, a law 1 have always op
posed. There is another matter of leg

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

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:

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

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

vtfcy, a great many tin. dual colleger are
known to have employed thib "iVictoi

Iti the course of their search for the
missing body of young I>evln, the uHi
cvrs i>t t!io law visited the Mium. Med -
oil College 111 Cincinnati, ami there they
learned that Morlou had heen in tho
habit of depositing hia plunder in tlie
vaults of tuut institution, preparing it
for market, and then shipping it by ev*
press to his customers. Acting UJKUI in
formation reluctantly given by theterrt
tied janitor, the otiicers proceeded to
Ann Arltor, Michigan, to beat up one
"John tj. "tjuiuby," to whom Morton
hak recently been forwarding a great
deal of freight. John t}, Coin by turned
out to bo—as the authorities had BUS*
pooled—an imaginary jwrson undv r
w hose name was ooueea'yd iho Medical
l'epartm tut of the rtato Fniversity.
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

shocking disregard of the sanctities of
death ; and thirdly, that college profes

the business of the resurrectionist as be

ELIZA PINKSTON.
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.
Second— That she received for her testi
mony and tho part she acted on that occa
sion $. r /0, n very largo sum of money to a
woman in her condition; and shn now
swears that of this money she took soo in
hand and allowed tho remainder to be in
the hands of Brewster, from whom she
says, sho has never been able to get it
hif.ck.

I STARTLING DEVELOPMENTS.
E L WEBER MAKES A CLEAN
BREAST OF IT.
Ilia Brother Receives "the letter of
Assurance" Direct from Sherman.
E. I. WKDE&'S dVKI.ATION*.
Washington, July 'J.— Emile L. Weber,
brother of Daniel Wobcr, was sworn.
Desiring to read a statement of his connec
tion with the Republican praty, Mr. Cox
objected to tho statement being read as
part of tho testimony, and Weber retired
ior the present. A secret session followed.
When the doors were reopened Emile
Weber was ra -ailed, and was given per
mission to road his statement, provided ho
would swear to tho facts contained* The!
statement was read, and set forth that be
had no personal knowledge that tho Dem
ocratic intimidation had existed in the
parishes of East and West Feiociana.
His brother, Dan Weber and James K
Anderson had informed him the two pan
ishes had gone fairly Democratic.
Great influence was brought to bear up*
on his brother to make his protest, and he
had been approached rory frequently to
uso his influcnco with his brother to effect
thesigningof the protest, lie saw Ander
son sign the protest, and saw blanks there
in. A Iter Anderson had loft, JudgaCamp
beii attached a jurat to tho paper. It was
not sworn toby Andorson. It was a no
torious fact in tho Custom House that Kell
ogg, Packard and others were pressing
Anderson and Weber to mnko thoir rc- i
•pectivo protest?. John Sherman was
sp'ikasman of tho visiting statesmen, and
he , Weber) knew that Sherman hud given
his brother assurances which caused bim
to aliow his protest to stand after it had
been made. Wobcr* had, in conversation
with Sherman, explainod to him that his
brother thought his parish had gono Dem
ocratic, and ho was disposed to lake back
his protest, whereupon Sherman assured
him his brother would 1> cared for, and
requested that he send? his brother to him.
Ills brother, on tho day ha received it.
showed him the letter of assurance, and
said be had received "it diroet from Sher
man." Wober was familiar with the
handwriting of Sherman, and was satisfied
that tho letter was written by that gentle
man in 1877. The Sherman letter was a
subject of roortifiuatien to Weber's family,
and bis sistor-in-lnw, Mrs. Daniel Weber,
had endeavored t find it among the pa
per* of her husband, which wero packed
away in two trunks and a largo shoe box.
Lato in tho summer of 1877 ho (witness)
had mado a search for tho letter and had
found it Is a shoo box and destroyed it
forthwith. Mrs Jenka had been in no way
connected with tho authorship of tho Sher
man letter.
About the 27th of November, it was dis
covered that only six of Hayes' electors
could ho saved, and Kellogg that dav re
marked tome, " H'c are, after all, beaten,"
In regard to the agreement between.Jumes
K. Anderson, and I). E. Weber, I hero
statu that 1 i>e:sonally know that such an
agreement was entered into and was sub
stantially tho same as has been presented.
My brother was murdered March 7th.
