TO THOSE CONCERNED.
All persons knowing themselves indebted to
this office for subscription, advertising or job
work, for over one year's standing, are ex
pected to call and pay up at once. These ac
counts MUST be settled without further delay.—
We have shown great leniency to those owing
us, but our business interests now require us
to demand payment, and if this request is no t
complied with we will be compelled to add
costs, something which we are averse to doing
if it can be avoided.
We have bills against several townships and
boroughs, for advertising their school and
supervisors' accounts, which should have
been paid long ago, and which must now be
paid.
All accounts remaining unpaid after the
coming Court will be placed in the hands of
an officer for collection. tf•

;WITT, of Blair,
tioned in connection with the Speakership
of the next House of Representatives.—
Mr. Hewitt has had considerable experience
in legislative matters, and if chosen to fill
the position of Speaker, will wield the
gavel to the satisfaction of all parties.
THE Brie Observer, said to be one of
the best paying weekly papers in the State,
has been purchased by our friend, Hon.
11. B. Brown, formerly of the Clarion
Democrat. We congratulate our friend
Brown on his good fortune in getting hold
of the. Observer, and welcome him back to
the editorial ranks, with the wish that his
last venture may prove a rich bonanza.
THE Carlisle Mirror, a Democratic
paper published by our friend, J. S. Corn
man, esq., formerly editor of the Monitor,
charges Chairman Speer with the defeat of
the party in the late State contest, and
"speaks right out in meetin' " iu his coin•
ments on the conduct of the campaign.—
Mr. Speer did the very best he could to
to bring victory to his standard, and his
party organs should "let up" on him.
Ws don't believe there are more than
two papers in the district that have pub
lished correctly the official; vote for Con
gress. Mr. Fisher's majority is two hun.
dred and seven, as published in last week's
JOURNAL. Our figures were correct, as
certified by the board of return judges at
Chambersburg. We notice in several of
our exchanges intimations that Mr. Sten
ger proposes to contest the election of Mr.
Fisher, but he will find that he will have
more trouble in setting aside Mr. Fisher's
majority than he had in persuading poor
old Swineford to nominate him.
HON. WM. S. STENGER cannot get over
his defeat for a third term in Congress.
and seems to be cross at everybody in gen
eral and John 'Dougherty, esq., in pal
tionlar, whom he charges with nipping his
aspirations in the bud. He took a run
down to Washington, the other day,
and while there met a number of Western
Democrats, who hai fared no better than
be had, and who were as "mad as March
hares" over their discomfiture, the blame
for which they tried to lay at the door of
the Nationals. They held a kind of ex
perience meeting, during which Stenger
threatened to excommunicate all Demo
crats who are known to have strayed from
the fold during the late contest, and he
swore—with an "uplifted hand," we sup
pose—that "this is no time for trifling,
and that all political dissenters should be
held under the ban." So, Democrats, you
know what is in store for you, and you can
make your arrangements for doing pen
ance for your crime of having assisted in
bringing about the defeat of the "Great
Persuader."

IF THE statements made in a Washing
ton newspaper are well founded, says the
K. Y. Tribune, President Hayes has at
last become convinced of the perfidy of the
Southern Democrats. He makes the re
luctant admission that the experiment of
declaring a political millenium, while the
Mississippi shot gun plan and the South
Carolina election frauds plan are in full
operaticn, is a failure. He sees with in
dignation that the promises of the South
ern leaders have not been kept in a single
instance, and that the rights of American
citizens have been shamelessly violated
throughout a large section of the Union.
He proposes, therefore, to punish all such
offences against the election laws, not be
cause they are committed by Democrats to
the injury of Republicans, but because
they are crimes against citizenship, and in
the same spirit in which he would take
steps toward the punishment of like offen
ces committed by Republicans:to the inju
ry of Democrats. That the President
means what he says is proved by the arrest
in Florida and South Carolina of persons
who interfered with the United States Su
pervisors in the diScharge of their duties,
and by his declaration that if any prosecu
ting attorney falters in his work, he will
be at once removed. Having entered up
on this course the President is not likely
to depart from it. He will find the whole
North at his back. And for the people as
well as for the President, there can be no
better watchword in this matter than his
own utterance—" The integrity of Ameri
can citizenship must and shall be vindi
cated."
TUE PUBLIC LANDS.—The Commis
sioner of the General Land Office has com
pleted his annual report, which, among
other valuable statistics, shows that during
the fiscal year ending June 30th, 8,686,178
acres of public lands were disposed of and
and 8,041,011 acres were surveyed. The
entire number of acres of the public do
main yet unsurveyed is over one thousand
millions of acres. During the year there
were Homestead entries of 4,418,344 acres.
These figures evince a large increase of
land taken up by actual settlers and, as
such, will eventually inure to the benefit
of the government. The Commissioner
recommends that Congress should declare
all lapsed grants made to railroads for
feited and restore them to disposal as a
part of the public domain, or extend the
time for the completion of the road.
CHAIRMAN EcK issues an address to
the members of the defunct Greenback
party, urging them to preserve their or
ganization. The advice of the Democratic
Watchman, to the Greenbackers of Centre
county, who have been advised to do the
same thing, is so applicable in this county
that we cannot refrain from publishing it
and recommending it to Chairman Eck as
the best and safest plan to preserve his
partisans. That paper suggests the use of
"air-tight cans for this purpose, as expos
ure to the atmosphere seems to have a dis
solving effect upon it. As the Greenback
party is so far behind, we will venture to
assert that after all the best way to 'pre
serve' the organization would be, perhaps,
to make it into ketch up."
Mucu honor is due J. G-. Isenberg, esq.,
the efficient chairman of the county com
mittee for his able conduct of the late cam
paign. He sacrificed his private business
that he might devote his time to the duties
he assumed when he accepted the position
unanimously tendered him by the party,
and during the long and fierce contest la
bored zealously to perfect the organization
of his forces and get them in fighting trim.
How well he accomplished his purpose the
result of the election shows. The condi
tion of the party, in this county is better
now than it has been for years past, and
this state of things is duo to the good
management and hard labor of Chairman
Isenberg. •

Five Murderers to be Hanged.
AMONG THEM THE NOTORIOUS KEIIOE,
TUE KING OP MOLLIE MAGUIRES
Governor Hartranft on Monday last
issued warrants for the execution of five
murderers. Four of them belonged to the
infamous Mollie Maguires, among them
Jack Kehoe. All the culprits are to be
banged on the 18th of December.
The crime for which Kehoe is to hang
was committed in 1862 and the victim
was F. S. W. Langdon, a ticket boss em
ployed at Honeybrook colliery. Langdon
had docked a number of men, and for it
Kehoe threatened to Like his life. On
the evening of the day on which a Sunday
school celebration was held Langdon was
found on the public road terribly beaten,
and in a few days he died of the injuries
received. For fourteen years the mur
derers want unpunished, but evidence
was obtained through the first Mollie
Maguire murder trials leading to the
arrest of Kehoe and two of his accomplices.
Dougherty and O'Neil. Kehoe having
threatened to have Langdon killed, and
having been seen striking him, was con
victed of murder in the first degree, and
his confederates got off with a nine years'
sentence in the penitentiary. Keboe was
connected with at least half a dozen other
murders committed in the coal regions.
Martin Birgin, who is to be hanged on
the same gallows with Kehoe, shot Patrick
H. Burns at Tuscarora, Schuylkill county,
in 1870 Burns was murdered at the in
stigation of John Kane, who employed
James M'Donnell, alsi to be hanged on
the 18th of December for the murder of
George K. Smith in 1863, to put Burns
out of the way in order to prevent him
from exposing a theft of coal by Kane.
M'Donnell induced Birgin, who was
arrested in Canada last March to do the
shooting. Burns was shot while going to
work.
Charles Sharpe and James M'Dannell,
both of whom will be hanged at Mauch
Chunk on the 18th of next month, mur
dered George K. Smith, a coal operator at
Audenried on the night of Novembr 5,
1863. Smith was killed because he gave
the United States authorities information
relative to the whereabouts of persons who
evaded the draft. The men called at
Smith's residence, and being admitted
said they had a letter for him, which they
desired to hand to him in person. Being
informed that he had retired to bed, one
of them made a motion as if he intended
to hand the alleged letter to Mrs. Smith.
Instead he drew forth a revolver, which
was dischrrged, Mrs. Smith gave a loud
scream, and her husband rushed down
stairs in his night clothes. While on his
way he was shot dead by one of the
ruffians. A man named Ulrich, who had
gone to the house at the request of Smith,
was shot in the leg. The arrest of the
two Mollies was mainly due to the revela
tions of the notorious Jimmy Kerrigan and
Kelly the Bum, both of whom are self
confessed murderers. Alexander W. Say
ers, the Philadelphia wife murderer, is
also to be hanged on the 18th of December.
He shot his wife in church on Sunday,
November 18, 1877, during the progress
of the services.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.
Governor Hartranft has issued the following
proclamation :
During the past year the people of the
United States have been patient in distress,
steadfast to time-honored institutions, and
hopeful of the final destiny of their country.
Their patience has been the security of society,
their faith has sit red for posterity an unim
paired heritage and their charity has met
pestilence with active sympathy and quiet
self sacrifice.
Now, therefore I, John F. Bartranft, Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, do appoint Thursday,
the twenty-eighth day of November, 1878,
being the same day set apart by the President
of the United States, as a day of Thanksgiving
and prayer, that the citizens of this common
wealth may give thanks to Almighty God not
only for peace and reviving prosperity, but
for the faith, hope and charity which His
spirit has kindled in their hearts.
Given under my hand and the great seal of
the State, at Harrisburg, this ninth day of
November, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and seventy-eight,
and of the commonwealth the one hundred
and third. J. F. LIARTHANFT.

LADIES, DELICATE AND FEEBLE.—
Those languid, tiresome sensations, causing
you to feel scarcely able to be on your feet ;
that constant drain that taking from your
system all its former elasticity ; driving the
bloom from your cheeks ; that continual strain
upon your vital forces, rendering you irritable
and fretful, can easily be removed by the use
of that marvelous remedy, Hop Bitters. Irregu-
larities and obstructions of your system are
relieved at once, while the special cause of
periodical pain are permanently removed.
Will you heed ? See "Truths,"
