The fraudulent President last week
vetoed the bill repealing the bayonet
election law. The long and the short of
the veto is this: The repul leans see no
hope of electing the next president un
less they can have use of the srtny as
heretofore. We hope that the democra
cy of the country will never again sub
mit to an election that was carried by
the use of tha bayoaet. It is the duty
of men who would be free to resist such
tyranny and usurpation. If we are de
feated by the honest vole of the
people, all right—if not then it is the du
ty of democrats to assert their rights by
such means as God has given men to
protect and defend their righta
Another fearful warning against al
lowing children to have matches, was
given at Toronto the other day w hen
three children, named Richard Casey,
aged five year*, John Casey, aged three
year*, and John Emard, aged five years,
were burned to death. The shed is
supposed to have caught fire from
matches with which they were play

In Philadelphia the jury in the case
of Mrs. Anna McGowan against James
Wiley, a grocer, to recover 1732 placed
in his custodv for safe keeping, on Sat
urday rendered a verdict in favor of the
widow for the fttll amount. Mr. Wiley
placed the cash in his safe, from which
it mysteriously disappeared. The Court
instructed the jury that, as it was a bail
ment, without hire or reward, the ques
tion was whether Mr. Wiley had taker
such care ot the money as he would
haTe O" his own property.
, The Tim re correspondent at Bucharest
saTS of the crisis in Russian affairs thst
private account* from Russia represcn
the situation all over that county as be
ing beyond description, and that the
tendency of the so-called repressive
measures is towards revolution rather
than peace, as the present annoyances
and outrageous oppression of all classei
of population are rapidly spreading a
feeling that anything is preferable to
the existing state of affairs. It is assert
ed that the Government is really play
ing the game of the Nihilists, instead of
crushing out the spirit of diacontent in
the empire,"
A Berlim despatch to the Poet states
that a Nihilist printing-prew# has been
discovered at the office of the Ministry

Thus far in the bribery investigation
on the riot-bill the testimony shows
that a number of democrats were offer
ed Urge bribes to vote for the bill but
refused to accept We print another
chapter of the investigation in this issue
of the Reporter.
Them Harrisburg curtains, that were
miming some two years, got scared at
a proposed investigation, and came back
one day lost week, and hung themselves
in their windows. How queer. Of
course nobody meant anything by it.
It is not flur that the republicans
have the army at the polls to help them
and use it against the democrats. If
the republicans are to haTe armed men
at the Toting places then we say let
Democrats go to the polla armed too,
and if the eoldiere are to interfere with
democrats and intimidate them, let
them nee their private arms in defense
of their sacred right* as voters, if feder
al bayonets are to be used against them
at the command of desperate radical
leaders.
Let the bayonet election laws be re*
pealed.
Let democrats now stand firm, and
swear to stand by their rights at all
hazard*. They have submitted to bayo
net rule longer already than becomes
freemen. Arms on one aide, arms on
the other.
Score one for New Jersey justice. Two
public plunders received their dues. Ex
fcute Senator J. B. Cornish, convicted of
conspiracy to defraud Warren county,

sentenced was imposed upon J. 11.

Kow then go on with the next—there
is a big crop of that claae of scamps in
every Btate in the Union.
There is nothing in the Constitution
which requires an army to be maintain
ed in any manner or form. It is exclu
sively the creature ofCongreee. depend
ent entirely upon its will, and even
then restrained to an existence of two
years, unless life should be renewed by
its legislative creator. Article 1, section
8, declares:
"The Congress shall have power to
raise and support armies, but no appro
priation of money to that use shall be
for a longer term tbaa two years."
The Executive has nothing to do with
the raising or the support or the army,
except to attest by his signature the will
of Congress. Again, clause 14 of the
same section declares:
"Congress shall have power to make
rules for the government and regulation
of the land and naval forces."
The issue between the two parties is
distinctly joined, and all attempts to
conresl or to confuse it will fail. The
army is a dead weight on the country.
Thirty millions a year are votod to keep
it np, for the benefit of a preferred claas
and to support the party in power. As
between the maintenance of a free bal
lot and the maintenance of a standing
army, let the army alide.
The Declaration of Independence says
of king George, that,
"lie has refused his assent to laws tbs
most wholesome and necessary for the
pablic good."
"He has kept among us in time of
peace standing armies without the con
sent of our Legislature."
"He has affected to render the milita
ry independent of, and superior to, the
civil power."
And fraudulent Hayes and the stal
warts are guilty of the same crimes.
We believe the people of this state
never ltefore felt 60 indignant over a
legislature as over the present one.

HOW TROOPS TTAVF RFFS ISFP\
A T ELECTIONS.
From (bo begriming to the close of f
Gen. Grant's administration, says the
Snn, the army and navy wore constant
ly used to prop tip carpet bag govern
ments in the South, and to carry elec
tions tinder the partisan act of lKtiS. The
intention of the Republican leaders
to hare extended this military super
vision at the polls over all parts of the
country where they were in a minority
to crush out every form of opposition ;
and continue their rule indefinitely.
Thst was the object of quartering a
small force in the heart of New N >rk
city, and of stationing two ships of war
to command the centre of commercial
activity, in IS7O. The experiment would
probably have succeeded, too, but for
the resolute stand of the local authori
ties. The same year 1" uited Slate
marines were marched to the polls In
Philadelphia, and Gov. Geary, though a
staunch Republican, made that anda
ciotit intrusion the subject of strong con
demnation in his regular message to the
legislature.
After these tentative attempts to ac
custom the people of the North to the
presence of troops on election day had
failed, they were mostly directed to the
Southern States, where such outrages
had been long practised, and could be
repeated with greater impunity. The
most scandalous abuses weie perpelrut*
ed without even a show of external de
cency. Take the following example as
an Illustration of the whole system.
George E. Spencer was the carpet-hag
Senator from Alabama, and he disposed
of troop* to suit party necessities, as ap
pears by this letter, addressed to the
Secretary of the Republican State Com
mittee
Pn ATI n, Ala .Get. 22. 1>72.
"My Pkar Rarukr 1 have just re
turned from 1 ouisvillc, where 1 have
been to see Gen. ferry about troops for

"1 have had a company of cavalry sent

Also a squadron of cavalry to report to
U. S. Marshal Thomas at llunUvilte.
"I wish Randolph, lVputy United

Kellogg, Chamberlain, Stearns, and
others of tke tribe to which Spencer be
longed followed in his foot-tens that
year, and in 1574 the Legislature of
Louisiana was captured by such bare
faced frauds that Mr. Hoar, Mr. Wheel
er, and Mr. Frve of a House committee
were compelled to admit them. What
the army did in Louisiana, in South
Carolina, and in Florida in 1376 is famil
iar history. The electoral votes of those
three Statee could not have beea stoleu
as they were except by the aid of troops
sent there expressly to protect and to
assist the scoundrels who did the
work.
And as if to close the business fitting
ly, and to complete the operations of
John -hertnan and his confederates in
crime, two thousand picked troops were
collected at Washington to oversee the
electoral count, with artillery trained
on the Honseof Representatives, with
officers sworn to secrecy, and with or
ders and preparations as if a state of
flagrant war actually existed at the capi
tal. These last events are only two
years old ; and yet, in the face of an ex
perience dating back to IS7O, and con
tinuing through the two terms of Grant
ism, Mr. Cockling, Mr. Edmunds, Mr.
Chandler, and the rest of them, who
are all now engaged in an effort to give
Grant a third term, have the effrontery
io tell the people that nothing is to be
feared from the presence of troops at the
polls!
In the view of all reflecting men, this
is the most serious question ever pre
sented in time of peace. It means force
to carry the next Presidency and to des
troy free government.
Every year valuable articles of furni
ture, hundreds of yards of valuable car
pet, disappear from the legislative halls
i at Harrisburg, and are replaced by new
| goods. Where the old ones go to, lias
' never been investigated. The articles
taken away are only in use one session,
and better than half price. The belief
is that officials connected with the care
of the public buildings, sell the old
goods, and put the proceeds in their
pockets or use them to adorn their own
residences—at all events, the stale
treasury never gets a cent for them, and
hence the party taking such things are
thieves. One step towards letting in a
little light upon this species of stealing
was taken the other day, and is thus
mentioned by a correspondent:
rot'no.
The $13,000 window blinds (nine of
them at $2,00" each) which adorned the
windows in the hall of the House, but
which suddenly disappeared like the
evening shadows before the rising sun,
have been found, and they are sawing
sticks and putting in knobs to-day to
have them put up. It is the intention
to surprise the House to-morrow with
the recovered property. Tne Investi
gating Committee, I guess, was getting a
little close on the heels of the Clerks'
Department, and they thought it better
to hang up the blinds. Whether they
are the same blind#or not we will see
when they are hung up. When the
darkey woman was caught with a chick
en under her apron, as she was going
home from church, she looked as inno
cent as shecould.and then throwing the
live material for a good pot-nie down
on the ground, she said indignantly,
"Thar, you don't s'pose Use goin' to let
an ole hen stand between tne and my
Creator? That's shout the way with
the blinds. Hewitt of Blair, Chairman
of the committee to investigate the al
leged $20,000 stationery steal in the
House, still holds back his report. The
blinds have come anyway, but they are
not part of the $20,000 charge.
In Massachusetts, on Friday, a jury
rendered a verdict against a railroad
company and awarded C. B. Wort hen, a
traveling salesman $20,500 for a leg lost
by a collision.
The South American war is progress
ing finely. A Peruvian town has been
bombarded, with a loss to its inhabitants
of $1,000,000, and the commander of the
Chilian squadron has cut the cable con
necting Peru with Europe and taken the
Chilian end aboard his vessel, in order
to be in direct communication with the
government at Santiago,
High priced butter. Quality being
equal, the highest price butter is that
which is colored best. The Perfected
Butter Color of Wells, Richardson A Co.,
Burlington, Yt., is the favorite coloring
used by dairymen of reputation, it im
parts a golden yellow, like that of pas
vjre-fed Jersev cows. Druggists keep
it.
The Pennsylvania House of Represen
tatives has mtiended the bill taxing

5 Just think of it girls. Quern Victoria

j she is not a very old granny yet at that.
None of the ladv readers of the 111 con

some of them, if they are uot too slow,
may become groat-grand mothers as
i well as Victoria, at.d wo hope they will
t nil at least attain to the grandmother

, Victoria is, each one of our fair readers
may be the queen of a household which

. ATTEMPT TO UVY Vvl R rOB Till
f Harrisburg, I'a., May 3d, 1579. —' The
, interest in the Riot bill bribery investi
, I gation is unabated, and the hall of tin-
House was thronged to-uight. lletire
-1 sentative Z.ern, of Carbon, testified to
i having been approached bv Alexander
president of the i ir#t Nation
al Rank of Mauch Chunk, who offered
to divide certain expected profits with
r him and bis colleagues if they voted for
i :!#• Riot bill, I.eisering having stated
, that he anticipated a rise in Pennsyl
vania railroad stock if the measure#
passed. This evidence is confirmatory
I of that given by Representative C'as-idy,
i of Carbon county. Zern al#<> testified
. that I>r. Shoemaker, of harrisburg. told
. hiai there weressooin the bill and sub
' sequent!? increased the amount to
sl,'<oo. Shoemaker promised to tAke
i him to parties who would see that the
money was paid him. Neither of these
propositions was accepted.
Representative Smith, of Berks, being i
■ i sworn, said tliat Charles It. Salter, ex-'
i member of the House, told him that |
there were $1,500 in six or seTen hillsi
on the calendar, one of which was the !
Riot hill, for voting for which witnes#
ceuid get s'•<*); subsequently Walter in i
formed witness that it had been agreed
to raise the price to fl,."#>*' before the
final vote anil $">00 after the pa.- age of
the bill; be refused all oiler#.
Representative McCochrcn. of t nm
herland -testified that K. J. McCune.
former President of a Shippenburg bank
promised to place in bis hand# fV#K>
worth of border raid claim# certificates,
payable in thirty days after the passage
of the Riot bill, provided he voted for
it; McCune said it was necessary that j
the members from the counties imme
diately interested in the passage of the ;
Raid bill should statu! solidly together )
for the Riot act; McCune also said that
he would see that the mouths of all the
Cumberland county papers should be
closed if witness supported the Riot hill;
McCochran indignantly rejected the
proposition, and steadily voted against
the measure.
Benjamin Bordner, of Dauphin, swore
that fifteen minute# before the final
vote was taken on the Riot bill Chris
Long offered him $ 1,000 if he voted for
the measure ; the same man had previ
ously said he would get him f.'tno to
vote for the bill. ling's principal busi
ness is to prevent railroad accident cases
from getting into the courts—in other
words, settling with the sufferers. Wit
lie## voted against the bill.
Representative Woodruff, editor of
the Johnstown Democrat, test died that
Jesse K. Crawford, Assistant Superin
tendent of Public Grounds, hud first of
fered him s:>'# to publish two articles
ih favor of the Riot hill and afterward
offered to secure him $J ,000 for the pub
lication in his paper; witness thought
the first amount exceedingly large; lie
refused to have anything to do with the
proposition.
Representative Fabcl, of Monroe, tes
tified that he had been approached by a
young man three times with corruptive
consideration; witness was offered from
s3no toll JXX), but he conld not give the
committee the name of the man.
Representative Foust, of Huntingdon,
testified that after the amendment re- 1
ducing the amount from SIOO,OOO to
s3oo,ooohad been defeated, Jesse R.
Crawford informed him that if he voted
for the bill he would get SI,OOO as a pre#- [
ent, the parties who had lost good# by
the destruction of property at Pittsburg
having raised a fund for that purpose; i
witness replied that no amount of money
could purchase hi# vote.
Representative Dewoodv, of Venango
county, testified that an effort was made
to get his vote in support of the Riot lull
bv stating that ex-Ktate Treasurer Kern
ble would uouvince him that no lax
would he imposed on oil if the act were i
passed ; witness replied : I
"What in hell has Keinhle to do with
pnttingon a tax ?"
About twenty member# testified to
night. Chris Magee, who was to have
produced checks showing the amount of
money expended to purchase uewspa- <
per support for the bill, failed to appear. ,
The majority of the committee did all .
they could to-night to hanqier the in
vestigation. It is becoming apparent, it# '
the inquiry progresses, that the com
mittee was appointed to conceal rather t
than expose the corrupt means used to ,
pau the bill, which was voted for by (
three and opposed hy two members.
The investigation s;JJ be continued dur
ing the week.
The Anti-Discrimination bill prohibit
