CRINGING COWARDICE!
In our connection with a newspaper wk.
have wade it a rule to pay no attention to
personal attacks, nor do we desire to deviate
from this rule now. We have learned, in
a long exierience, that creatures, who are
physically incapable of defending !hen_
selves, frequently, to avenge some inv - gin_
ary wrong, endeavor to control the columns
of a newspaper. The editor of the Globe
belongs to this class of cravens. We de_
sire to say a few words in regard to him
and then dismiss him :
A few short months ago he was at the
head of the Soldiers' Orphan School at
Cassville. It was a "fat take," as printers
gay when they get hold of a good thing,
and he made it tell. He waxed rich and
felt his importance. His neighbors did
not appear to care how he conducted him
self so long as he did not interfere with
them. He lived in clover. He was mon
arch of all he surveyed, and Pennsylvania
furnished the greenbacks. From a fleeing
mendicant, of a few years before, he began
to look towards a Congressional nomina
tion. Not satisfied with the fat bone in
hand, he determined to grasp the shadow,
and the fable was repeated. But in his
grasping he found that others did not view
his moral conduct in the light in which he
himself viewed it. Immoral and disrepu
table conduct is not always regarded as
"trifles thin as air." Stung by the noto
riety given his bad deeds he rushed head
long into the Quarter Sessions to vindicate
himself. His case was patiently heard,
the jury retired and shortly thereafter re•
turned, with a verdict of TRUE, and the
prosecutor to pay $205 costs. Thereupon
he vowed vengeance upoa everybody who
did not swear that they believed him an
innocent and outraged man. Encouraged
by a couple of political demagogues, who
thought they saw an opportunity to re
trieve their waning political fortunes, he
bought the Globe and commenceda system
of blackmailing peculiar to cowards. He
assailed everybody that ho imagined re
garded him with disfavor. Threw out in
sinuations. Had rods in pickle. Wanted
to skin this, teat and the other one. Rolled
up his sleeves and bantered the crowd
Then it was the JounNar. he was after ! It
wasn't the Monitor! Oh, so ! Nothing
but the JotitNAL But, then, you see
•'it won't come out and fight me 1" Such
were his reflections to the children on the
street. At last, realizing that we owed a
duty to the unfortunate community—un
fortunate in being cursed with such a
Thug—in which our lot is cast, we deter
mined to haul off and hit this craven right
between the eyes. and let the people judge
of the manner of man who was endeavoring
to run their politics Ose lick was enough
We knocked him into a three-cocked hat:
Hear him whine worse than a whipped
spaniel :
"Our renders can thus see the villainous
scheme this pretended honorable man has ILid
for our rain, [boo !] and bring us and onr lit
tle ones to poverty and disgrace [boo ! boo t].
What cars he and his tools that our wife is a
poor [boot] nervous [boo! boa!] belpless.in
valid [boo I boo I boo !] What care they for
her sleepless eights of agony caused by their
devilish efforts for political power !" [Boo !
hoo I boo
Out upon suck a whining, yelping cur !
What but your own immoral and debased
conduct has made your wife a "poor, ner
vous, helpless invalid :" But no man,
with a scintilla of manliness in his compo
sition, would drag the sacred name of wife
into his dirty brawls or try to cower behind
her fur protection ! Faugh ! Who can
entertain anything but contempt and con
tumely for such a creature ? We scorn
such an adversary' When we take up
arms against an individual we want an op
ponent of whom all the world can say :
"This is a man !" Scarcely has a blow
been struck until he yelps, at the top of
his %,:ice, we are "driven back into the
corner !" and howls with great• gesticula
tion and threat what he will do. Bah !
Go and hang yourself! We care nothing
about you. We are ashamed that it be
comes necessary, in accomplishing our pur
pose, to have to kick you out of the way.
Reader, excuse us for having to regale
von for a few weeks with the conduct of
atteh a creature! He, and other vampires
like him, have fastened themselves upon
the Republican party and they must be
shaken off ! Bear with zas.
THE REASON WHY,
We want the people to know why Hunting
don county did so poorly fnr the ticket last
fall.—Globe.
The people do know all about it! They
knew what it would be before the election.
Wm. 11. Woods helped to place the Inde
pendent ticket in the field, every one cf
whom, (except M. M. McNeil, who is a
Democrat and who was included in the
bargain and sale,) was and is a member of
the "Peoples' League," and was supported
by Guss, Woods, Laird, Logan & Co. The
ticket was complete except the District
Attorney, and a young Democratic attor
ney, who wanted to be placed on the ticket
for that office, said he would have been
had it not been for King William. Woods
office was the headquarters of the Candi
dates on the Independent ticket when they
came to town. McKnight Williamson,
Woods' brother•in-law and law partner,
spent two weeks in the lower end of the
county electioneering for Speer and the
Independent ticket. John Logan, the
League Steward of the Poor House, trav
elled the county in the interest of the
'from three to eight" candidates, and told
his friends that his position, as Steward of
the Poor Hones, depended upon the elec
tion of the Independent ticket. And W.
H. Woods sat in his office, in this town,
.during the day c3ncocting schemes to de
feat the Republican ticket, and at midnight
suet in secret conclave with R. M. Speer
and submitted his plans. After having
-agreed upon the plans, they were then sent
out to the lesser lights in the townships to
be executed. Gnu was put on the stump
and need as a blind, but neither he nor
his masters fooled any one. It was well
understood. That's "why Huntingdon
county did so poorly for the ticket last
fall,!"
IS IT TRUE? VERDICT, IT IS TRUE! A POPULAR MAN ! BAH
The indictment preferred by .L. t:us,
against Henry S. Wharton, for libel, in I
publishing the affidavit made by Mrs.
Pope, before the Board of School Dirge_
tore of this borough. charging. hint wit h
"indecent conduct" towards her (laugh ter
wes tried, as we stated lest w eat,. •
during our abseure in the West. The
trial excited a very general interest
throughout the county, and it w as ve:y
natural that it should do so. Vne survi
ving parents and relatives of 11. e female
orphans at the Cassville School would nat
urally feel very solicitous to kn itv whether
a judicial investigation would result in es
tablishing the truth of this inarge against
the Principal of that instity lion.
The community in goner al felt interest
ed to know whether an e ducational insti
tution, sustained cheerfully by the tax
payers of the Corninor,wealth, in view of
its noble and patriotic purpose, had been
endangered in its use fulness, by being un
der control of a man capable of such con
duct. To meat this feeling of the commu
nity we published, at the time, the charge
of the Court, wh;.ch gave a history of the
whole transaction, and stated clearly and
impartially, both the law and the leading
facts of the case. Immediately afterwards
the Globe and Monitor published the ar
gument of Hon. R. M. Speer, for the
Commonwealth, as reported by R. McDiv
itt, so that the case has been pretty thor
oughly kept before the public, and the
authorities having control of the Soldiers'
Orphan Schools will appreciate the interest
it has elicited in this community.
It is not our purpose, in this article, to
snake any comments upon the case. That
would seem to he unnecessary, for the
verdict of the jury has, after hearing the
evidence, the arguments upon it by coun
sel, upon both sides, and the charge of the
Court, as stated last week, disposed of the
question. What that question was, ap
pears not only from the charge of the
Court, but also from the argument of Mr.
Speer. After referring to the publication
of the alleged libel he says:
"Next, is it true? This is the vital inquiry
in the case. It meets you at the threshhold,
and you mast face it, and answer it. Its tre
mendous importance to the prosecutor no
words of mine can magnify. If the flames eon
sums your property, your industry and toil
may replace the loss, bat whe can restore the
brightness of a blasted name? You scar the
tree, and its mangled trunk outlives the sea
sons and the roll of years. Leaves may bud,
and flowers bloom, and frail ripen, but the 1
scar remains to arrest the eye of the traveler
and to bear ever living witness to the act of '
vandalism. So, here, gentlemen, if you seal ,
with your verdict, the attempt that has been
made to blacken the reputation of your neigh
bor; the sunshine of a lifetime will not wipe
sot tip stain."
Under this eloquent admonition the
jury did "face and answer" the inquiry—
'•ls 'it true ?" They answered that IT
WAS TRUE. and found the defendant
"not guilty" in publishing it.. Now the
further responsibility to the public rests
in other quarters.
LOCAL OPTION !
We mere than ever rejoice in the demo
cratic or republican form (just as you
please to call it) of our government. The
will of the majority must and will be obey
ed on moral as well as political questions.
The Legislature of Pennsylvania, at its last
session, passed what is known as the "Lo
cal Option Law." The practical object
and working of the law is to submit to the
voters of the counties and cities to say by
ballot whether a license shall or shall not
be granted to keepers of hotels to keep in
toxicating drinks. It is not the question
whether we are or are not to have hotels.—
We believe that is the fair way of settling
this question. It is an embarrassing ques
tion for our courts to pass upon licenses,
and as the people are willing to settle this
matter at the polls, the advocates of li
cense should bow with graceful submission
to the will of the majority.
If license be voted down in our county,
ns we believe it will, there' wilt be plenty
of good hotels kept where they are needed,
and travelers and strangers will be as
well, if not better, cated for and accommo
dated. The public will he relieved of un
told burdens in the course of time. Less
money to be paid for keeping up our Alms-
House, and the costs of running our crim
inal courts will be comparatively nothing.
As an illustration of the good and practi
cal results of the prohibition of the sale of
intoxicants in taverns and saloons we
merely mention one instance : Vineland,
N. J., contains 10,000 inhabitants, but
not a single policeman patrols the streets.
Why ? The answer is : It contains not
a single drinking saloon of any kind. No
drunkenness, no criminals, no crimes, and
no policemen or taxes for their support, is
the natural result. This will be the result
in Huntingdon and the county, notwith
standing the argument of the liquor men
to the contrary.
We are emphatically in favor of "Loyal
Option," and advise every voter to ponder
well berme he casts a vote for license. We
have en personal feeling against these who
are in faiver of the granting of license, but
we honestly think they are wrong, and
before ten years they will admit that we
are right. •
HOW THE MATTER STANDS
The following has been handed us. which
we publish with pleasure :
MR. EDITOR :—The article in last
week's donanat„ upon the effect of the
verdict in the Guss and Wharton suits,
shows very clearly that Guss is, en far as
personal guilt is concerned, a convict of the
crimes charged by Louisa Pope, but the
article is hardly fair towards Superintend
ent Wickersham, in stating that he has
treated the matter lightly. Professor
Wickersham is a fair and conscientious
man, and has considered the case atten
tively, so far as it was laid before him, and
it is very evident, even from Guss' paper,
that he has been routed and obliged to re
move his presence elsewhere, but it was
no easy matter to transfer and find homes
for two hundred children in the middle of
winter. No doubt, too, the late Principal
plead hard to he let down as lightly as
possible, but we have good reasons for be
lieving that the divorce between the
"Principal" and his dear orphans will be
perpetual, and he will be permitted to de
vote his wkole time to literacy labors and
in purifying the moral atmosphere of Hun
tingdon. -GUSTAVUS VASA ."
it,' people. nr pers,is .itti3c
quaiiited with the titets, might ba
inducted to think, from the incessant brag,
brag. brag. and the immodest self-praise
o; A. L. Goss, that he is a popular anon in
this eemity. Of course his constant reit
! eration that he was nominated to Congress,
and lately elected a delegate to the State
Convention, is for its effect abroad, for in
this county, the securing of those positions
does not indicate any popularity on his
part. It is well known that if he were
before the, people for any office, he would
not get more than 270 Republican votes,
and about 30 Democratic in the whole
county. The secret of his success is not
in his popularity with the people, but only
and solely because of his being a member
of the "Peoples' League" or "Literati."
The influence of the League is astounding,
when we consider the few members com
posing it, and the few citizens who vote
with it. The secret of its influence is its
thorough organization and the wonderful
activity of its members. Being composed
of from three to eight members iu each
township, sworn to obey all orders, it is
enabled to wield a wonderful influence
upon the unthinking by deception and
fraud. The members of the League, by
constant watching, working and intriguing,
have themselves elected delegates to the
County Convention, the people generally
being indifferent about the matter. For
ten years past the League has been quietly
dividing townships, and making boroughs
out of small villages, in those portions of
the county where they can work most ef
fectively ; and thus by this tireless and
active work, using deception and fraud,
and bribery, wherever effective, they have
controlled two or three County Conven
tions, and by those Conventions the mem
bers of the County Committee were ap
pointed. which elected the member to the
State Convention: We have not space to
expose at this time how t_luss was elected
to the latter position, (forged credentials
with the ink undried in the Committee
meeting we will keep for another article.)
We desire now to show how weak in
numbers the League really is, and how few
friends the Professor really has. In 1866
the whole force of the League was thrown
against David Clarkson, the regular Re
publican nominee 14 Associate Judge,
and by a comparison of the returns it will
be seen they did not control 250 Republi
can votes. Judge Clarkson was elected
ever the combined Democratic and League
vote. Several other years show the same
strength ; and the last election confirms
the filet that before the masses of the pen:-
pie the League cannot control one-twelfth
of the Republican vote of the county. All
the tireless machinery of the League was
put to its full capacity to defeat T. W.
Myton. Esq., the Republican one-armed
soldier candidate for Prothonotary, but
250 numbers their fall strength. No !
outside of the League Guss would not get
ten votes for any position but town-bull.
CONUNDRUMS ANSWERED,
Two ur three weeks ago the Professor
published the following conundrums :
1. What period can repair a ruined reputa
tion ?
2. What riches may redeem the bankru,t
fame?
What power shall blanche the sullied
snow of character?
From the perfect diarrhoea of words,
with which he weekly floods his paper, we
suppose he had a hundred good answers
to each one. We do not know now wheth
er he is not waiting to pour out, in a six
column answer the solution to them, but
as he seems to be waiting for some one to
guess at them awhile before favoring us
with the true answers, we make bold to
hazard a guess : To the first one we would
suggest that the exact "period" was about
the first week of last November Court. To
the second we say, the "Ilehes" was a
check of lb. M. Speer's on the Union Bank
for $150.00, and $5O additional contribu
ted by the Professor and some one else to
purchase two votes in the last August
Convention ; (the Professor, you know,
considers that barren nontination of his,
for Congress last fall, in which Speer in
vested more largely than he did, as a refu
tation of all past and future slanders con
cerning him.) To s the third we were about
to propose "the sunshine of a lifidirne," but
Speer suggests that that won't do, and it
puzzles us to imagine what will do, unless
75 copies of the Monitor, containinz 1125
words of Speer's speech (at 15 cents a word,
you know,) will "blanche the sullied snow
of character."
Who defeated Barker ?—Globe.
As nearly as we can remember, Mr.
Barker's words were : "I am convinced
" that the Woods faction defeated me in
" ;Huntingdon county." Do yon want
any better proof than that ? It was never
denied that some Republicans, not Lea
guers, voted for Speer. Some are his clients,
and others voted for him because they
were exasperated at the course pursued by
Mr. Barker towards D. J. Morrell. They
were importuned, coaxed and plead with
not to do it, but they were determined, and
did it boldly and openly. They did not
pretena to be Mr. Barker's friends, take
his money and use it against him.
Guss says the masses of the Repub
lican party endorsed him by nominating
him for Congress and electing him a dele
gate to the State Convention. If that's
so why was it necossgry to buy the dele
gate from Hopewell who had two votes,
and try to buy the :Lan from West town
ship with one vote. Wasn't it a little
mean, though, for the" Principal" and W.
11. (Tweed) to only pay $5O each and
lettie Speer to pay 8150. Speer's own of
fer, was it ? Did he want a strong man
or a blackguard for his opponent ?
Mir It took three columns of the "bu
siness end" of the Globe last week, for the
editorial "we" to say : ••Buo, hoo, hoc,,
we hate John Scott—we hate John Scott;
for he scourged us once as we know, and
as the community know, we justly deser
ved. Oh, our poor, nerv.ms, helpless in
valid wife! 800, hoo, boo ?' Shame!
It takes a column and a half of last
week's Globe to prove that the minority
should rule the majority. It v:ill take
several additional columns to Fatisfy the
people of this fallacy.
SPAIN
The we rld moe
able p. titieal revolution in ancient Spain
is another evidence that it is moving ie
the right. direction. Castelar. Secretary
of ..t.ntL: in the new governumot, is one et
tile noblest spirits of the age. He-is an
accomplished seholar, a finished orator,
and one the purest republican spirits to
be found on either side o;* the Atlantic.
To his geniusand perseverance Spain is in
debted for whatever el free government
she enjoys to-day.
There is no guarantee, however, that the
late revolution in Spain will secure to that
people a pure and permanent republican
government. The movement will be ac
cepted by all thinking men, both in Eu
rope and America, as a significant indica
tion of the onward march of free thought
and free government in Europe, and the
ultimate substitution of republican govern
ment generally over the Continent.
The principles of republicanism have
been the subject of study by the better
educated middle classes throughout Eu
rope for some time past, and there is to
day a strong feeling in favor of republican
government in :tiniest every part of that
country. England can count its republi
cans by thousands, yes. millions, and it is
only out of respect for the Queen that Sir
Charles Dilke and his compatriots are
restrained fr,,m aggressive movements.
A change of sovereigns will b the signal
for action, and as that countr will have
able leaders in the work it is not too much
to predict for that country, within ten
years, and by the will of the people, a
thoroughly republican fortn of govern
ment. Spain and France have already
raised the standard of free government,
and though these nationalities may vet be
defeated by the influence of former dynas
ties, it can be only for a brief period. •
Prussia, portions of Austria, Italy and
Portugal have, already shown strong evi
dences of a deep and growing spirit of
republicanism, - while other portions of
Europe have AM-clod convincing proof of.
a growing desire among the more intelli
gent middle classes to dispense with t'oe
present system of government for othci.s
on the basis of republican principles.
The great need of those countries is
Popular education. Republicanism cannot
flourish where ignorance of the rudimental
principles of.goverment prevail. But tidy
barrier is now in a fitir way to be gradually
removed. The progress of free schools,
since the revolution of 1848, has been
very great, and to that fact may, in a
large degree. be attributed the advance of
public opinion in favor of republicanism.
The example of the United States is anoth
er powerful motive in the same direction.
If we seek a third reason, it will be found
in the oppressions experienced, and the
difficulties felt by the working classes in
obtaining food. for themselves and families.
They contrst their own condition with
that of the working classes in the United
States. and the wide difference in respect
to the privileges and comforts of life are
so marked that discontent and an intense
spirit of restiessnes is created in the pub
lic mind. This feeling is growing rapidly, l
and no one need be surprised to hear, at!
any time, of aggressive movements that I
will lead to political resolution and the
introduction of free government. Portu
galis already moving in imitation ofSpain.l

Remarks of Hon. John Scott before the
Republican County Committee, on
the 3d of September, 1869.
Mr. Merman and Gentle:nen of the County'
Committee: I appear before you in response to
your request, made known by a committee.
that I would lay before you a paper in my
[ possession accompanied with any remarks
ucem proper to make concerning it. Ido so
because of my desire to preserve the integrity
and purity of the Republican . party in this
county. Before reading the paper referred to,
it is proper that I should state briefly how it
came into my possession, and in doing so, in
order that its full sigaificance may be seen, I
go back to the time when the first information
was given to me which I thought authentic as
to the existence of a secret political organize
ticM, intended to control the action of the
party in this county.
Allegations had frequently been made that
each an organization did exist, but to these I
never gave any credence, until about the time
of the assembling of the County Convention
several years ago which nominated an Asso
ciate Judge. Judge Leas was a candidate for
re-nomination. Before the Convention met
he called upon me and stated that a proposal
had been models him to initiate him into snob
an organization, with a promise of its support
if he entered it. Ile said he desired of them
some information as to its objects and who
were its members; in response to which they
informed him that its object was to secure a
few active and leading men in each township,
and through them to control the election of
delegates and the action of county conveetious;
that W. 11. Woods, Esq.,
was the lading man
in the organization, And that Jas. Entrekin.
Lori Evans, Esq. Megahan. Henry Gralius,
Robt. Laird, Geo. Lang, and others whose
names I do not now recollect, were members
of it. This be said was as far as they would
go in riving him information unless he would
join them. He said ha refused to join, and I
told bins then as I say now that I respected
him for it.
I made from memory soon after that a list
of the names mentioned by the Judge as given
to him, which 1 kept, for I confess I was slow
to believe that any honorable man could pro
fess to be acting with a party at large and yet
lie connected with some secret organization
whose purpose was to make all not members
of it font instruments to accomplish its secret
ly prepared designs. That list I had at the
time (January, 1868) the motion was made in
court to quash the array of jurors, and when
Mr. Woods was examined as a witness I used
the list in asking hint whether he had not put
in certain names which were on the list. Mr.
Shantz, the Jury Commissioner, was also asked
as to who furnished certain of these names,
and to my surprise I found that quite a num
her of these names had been furnished by Mr.
Woods to the Jury Commissioner and had been
put on the list by him. That selection of ju
ror was set aside by the court, but if any one
has noticed the jury as drawn for the present
year lie will see the same names are coming
ant again from court to court, and the fact is
far from increasing confidence in the transac
tion of our public business.
mention these facts because of a clause in
the Constitution, which I propose to read,
which binds the members of the League to
stand by each other in their business relations,
and because I think it concerns the highest
interests of the people of the whole county
without regard to their party relations. Com
plaints continued to be made about the alieged
organization, and after the late County Co.-
vention they became louder than ever. I was
asked to exert my official influence to remove
an of f icer alleged to belong to this organisa
tion, I refused to do so upon any mere allega
tion, and said if there was any evidence as to
the existence of this organization and its mem
bership [ would like to see it. A few days
after that Mr. White Shaver of Mount Union
called upon me. It is proper to say he was
not the person who had requested my influ
ence to remove the officer referred to. He
placed in my hands. this Constitution of a
Peoples' League, stain , that be bad been in
traduced hat° the order by W. H. Woods and
Dr. Shade; that the Constitution was in the
handwriting of Dr. Shade; that he (Shaver)
was the President of Division No. 2, at Mount
Union, and that Mr. Woods has been President
of Division No. 1, at Shade Gap, where it or
iginated, and since his removal also at Hunt•
; that the organization was still kept
up, and that he was satisfied its effects were
such urn the party and business interests of
the county that he could no longer keep silent
about it, rind be left the Constitution with me
to be made public in whatever • manner was
considered best. He also stated, as I read the
Constitution in his hearing, that it was alleged
that another organization existed in the county
of which Dr. Orlady was the 'head; that lie
believed there had been such an organization,
but that it bad disbanded. My reply to this
statement was that whether there was one,
two or any number of such organizations as
that, they ought all to he smashed.

thirds vote of members of the League.
22. No member will be allowed to approach

of the League until the name of such person
has been proposed to his Division and he has
received permission to do so.
It is not necessary, and Ido not suppose it is
expected that any extended comments will be
;ride upon this instrument. I cannot forbear,
however, calling attention to what must be its
practical operation, and in this view of the
case all parties who pay taxes and are con
cerned in the business of the county have an
interest.
It proposes to make distribution of all the
offices, township and county, among its mem
,
hers or favorites. Assessors. supervisors,
school directors, are all to be nominated by
the privileged few, from three to eight, and
after they are elected the taxes are to be as
sessed, roads made, schools organized and
contracts given within the same circle if they
are true to their obligations. The same course
will be obsevred in the affairs of the county
If they pass into the control of men in this or
ganization. But how totally repugnant to
every principle of republican government is
its effect upon nominating conventions. Our
conventions are composed of 78 members. If
this organization can bring 40 members or
delegates whom they can influence, what is
the result ? They go into secret caucus before
the convention meets. 21 votes make a ma
jority of that caucas, and they form the ticket
which every member of that caucus is bound
to support in convention. The other 19 come
cut satisfied that the nominees are totally an.
worthy. They find that the 38 members of the
convention who were not with the secret 'or
ganization agree with them as to the character
of the proposed nominees. Thus there would
be 57 delegates in that convention whose con
sciences tell them these men ought not to be
nominated. Yet the votes of the 21 in secret
caucus settle the ticket and unworthy men
may be placed upon it and the party asked to
support them, when in reality more titan two
thirds of the convention was opposed to them.
The voice °lithe 19 is stiffed by their previous
obligation, and they with the 21 obeyed the
voice of the organization rather than the voice
of their own conscience an I the will of their
constituents. And this is to be called Repub
licanism. It is not the kind the people of
Huntingdon county admire, and I do not be
lieve they will tolerate it.
Thieafternoon, before your committee call
ed upon me, Jas. Chilcote, esq., of Orbisonia,
came to my office, and stated to me in some
detail how he bad been induced to become a
member of this organization, the trouble of
mind it bas occasioned him, his desire to get
out of it, how by a Providential i-ispensation,
depriving him for a time of his reason, he had
been led to reveal its character to his friends,
how they informed him of it when lie was re
stored, and that having thus told the truth
when unconcieus he did not deem it a duty to
deny and conceal it when coucious and ac
countable. His statements corroborate those
of Mr. Sharer as to the existenceaud operation
of this League. lie is present and authorizes
me to say that he is willing to give his own
full history of it to the committee if they de
sire to hear him.
I have complied with your request, and lay
this Constitution before you that you may
take such action in your official capacity as
you deem it requires. can only say for my
self that while entirely willing to support any
act of the party fairly and openly taken, I am
unwilling to be ruled by any secret conspira•
cy whose object is to exclude all but from
three to eight of our party in a township from
all voice in its control; and I trust you may
be able to bring about such a state of affairs
that expression can he given to the voice of
the whole party, and not have it subject to the
imputation of being under the rule ofany ring,
oligarchy, or aristocracy, such as this con
stitution sets.up.

Congress Purging Itself of Credit Moldlier—lts
own Members on Trial—Ppeeedinca in the
Rouse To day—Ames and Brooks not Expelled
but Condemned by a Large Vote.
WAsnisarom, D. C. 27 Feb. 1873.
TUURSDAV'S DEBATE ON P9LAND 7 s RE-
POET
The debate on Ow Poland Credit Mobi
her report was commenced on Tuesday and
ended a little after one o'clock to-day, in.
chiding night sessions. During nearly
the whole time the galleries of the House
were crowded, and ladies were admitted
upon the floor. During the three days'
debate able arguments were made for and
against the expulsion of Ames and Brooks.
A number of the speakers argued that as
the acts a those members Were at a period
previous to the present. Congress, the House
had no jurisdiction. Others thought that
it' those two members were guilty others
were equally so and that the weeding process
should reach them all. All of these views
were met by arguments, while Butler and
others opposed the resolution to expel
Ames, Brooks or any other member of the
House.
PROCEEDINGS AND VOTE TO-DAY.
The House. late last night, tooka recess
till 10 o'clock this morning. Mr. Bird
was the first to take the floor. His speech
was in reply to Bingham yesterday, in
which he denounced the action of the
press in regard. to the Credit Mobilier
scandal.
Mr. Dwight Townsend and Mr. Ferna
ndo Woad followed, after Mr Holman had
made a ten minutes speech. Mr. Wood
argued that the committee had exceeded
their authority and violated their duty.
He assured the House that he would vote
ag:;inst the report in both cases, as it was
as uncalled ihr as it was unwarranted.
Mr. Clarkson Potter then reviewed the
action of legislative hAies during the last
three hundred years, and was unable to
rind a precedent for the one the House
was asked to establish. He denies that
Mr. Brooks, had ever tried to influence
him or any other member of the Demo
cratic side of the House, in relation tothe
Pacific railis,,ads.
Mr. R. Milton Speer, in a short address
supported the report of the Committee.
'Mr. Sargent offered a resolution as a
substitute tbr the resolutions of expulsion,
reported by the committee,. discharging
the committee from further consideration
of the Credit Mobilier investigation, and
reciting that as the acts of Oakes Ames
and James Brooks were committed prior
to their being elected to this House, that
the House severely condemn them.
Mr. Hoar asked the House to not con
sider the substitute, as it would ruin im
portant constitutional questions. The sub
stitute was laid on the table.
Judge Poland then, by previous ar
rangement. occupied the closing hour iu
a speech defending the report of the com
mittee. lie in;ormed the House that the
vote we, .d bg tsken at 12.15 o'clock. The
galleries and aiglq uo,# - !name very much
crowded and intense intereet was nmpirest
ed both ainong*mbers aptl"liectsfotp.'
The speaker satd ate first vete was upon
the substitute of Mr. Sargent. first as re
gards Mr. Ames, and second, in relation to
Mr. Brooks.
Mr. Farnsworth snov,l that the report
of the Committee and the whole subject ;
lay on the table, ,m wh eh Mr. Holman
demanded the ayesand noes, which resulted
in 59 ayes and IC-1- noes.
The - House adopted the sabstitrte of Mr
-Sargent which in effect laid. aside the re
port of the Committee, 125 . to 110, and
the &use thus decided not to expel
A vote was then taken on'the resolution
emdeuining Oakes Ames. which was pass
ed. 181 to 3G. Mr. Brooks disposed of in
a similar manner by a vote of 174 to 32.
By a vote of 10:1 yeas to 114 noes the
House refused to discharge the committee
from further consideration of the subject.
But this is probably the end of another of
those uncalled for investigations with which
Congress has been afflicted during the last
and present session, to the detriment of
legitimate business
Last night, for the first time. Mr. Ames
was sensibly affected. and his 'kerchief
was frequently used in drying his moisten
ed eyes.
"News from Home."
JUNIATA COUNTY, Feb. 27, 1873.
Editor Huntingdon Journal :—I observe
Goss is tearing around loose among the
citizens of your county, and is pitching
into you lively. That animal used to
Mien' here, and though we don't wish you
any harm. we are glad you have got him
instead of UN. it seems to hurt his feel:
ings very much that you are a "late im
portation from Bedford county." Don't
know what kind of a place Bedford county'
is to come from, but if you cut up any
worse there than Guss did here, you are
rather a bad man. He seems to think
everybody considers him a saint except
SOll/0 "faithless, dishonorably discharged
employees." Guss had better "go slow."
Some of these same employees have better
characters yet than he ever had, though
he has done his best to injure them, and
they may yet unfold some tales that will
bring a blush to even his hypocritical face.
But let that pass for the present. You
might, however, ask him, Mr. Editor,
about that fishing party and the big drunk
he got on which interfered so much with
his freedom in the pulpit, and ask him to
explain about his libel suits in Juniata
county. I hear he has been in the libel
business in your county. I don't know
much about such things, but Guss can tell
all about it, he has been there himself.
