his residence in Washington, Pa., on
Friday morning, aged fifty-fve years.
A RUMOR from Port Carbon, in the
anthracite coal regions, is to the effect that
the Mollie Maguires are busily engaged
in re organizing their society. A little
more. hemp will have to be stretched fur
the benefit of these cut-throats.
HON. ED. M'PHERsoN has been ap
pointed Secretary of the Republican Con
gressional Committee, with headquarters
at Washington. The selection is a capita
one, and his long experience in such labors
renders hint capable to discharge the du
ties of the position in an efficient manner.
THE valedictory of Hon. Ed. McPher
son, as the editor of the Philadelphia
Press, appeared in that paper of Saturday
last. Mr. McPherson took a position on
the paper, as a political writer, in Septem
ber, 187 E, and since January, 1879, he
has occupied the position of editor-in
chief.
THE McVeytown Journal has just en
tered upon its eighth volume, and in
announcing the fact "Cooney" "does it
proud." Under his management the paper
has been made quite remunerative, the
which we are glad to hear May it con
tinue to prosper, and by the time it reaches
its sixteenth birthday may our friend
Conrad retire a millionaire.
CHIEF MILLER has issued a call for his
Democratic braves to meet in council in
Pittsburgh, on the 18th inst. The Fulton
Democrat says that "it is an outrage to
compel eastern delegates to go to Pitts
burgh to please the little Tilden coterie
around that city." The chief of cipher
alley carries the wampum-belt, and his fol
lowers in the tribe do as he orders.
SENATOR CARPENTER made a speech in
the Fitz John Porter case, on Saturday,
and took strong grounds against his re
instatement in the army, contending that
Congress had no power to set aside the
finding of a court martial. The speech
was an able one, but just before its close
Mr. Carpenter spoiled the effect of it by
the propoiition to re-nominate Gen. Grant.
We cant see what Grant's candidacy has
to do with the case of Fitz John Porter.
THE hoodlums of San Francisco, under
the lead of Kearney, have threatened to
burn the property of any person employ
ing Chinese. They have placarded the
city saying that they would lay the city
in ashes unless their demands were com
plied with 6-en. McDowell, commander
of the army of the Pacific, under orders,
has sent several hundred United States
troops to San Francisco to be in readiness
to quell any riot that these lawless vaga
bonds may inaugurate. For self protec
tion, against this rabble, the law abiding
eitizens have organized committees ofsafety,
and if a riot should be precipitated it will
be bad for those who are led to acts of
lawlessness by thy Irish Communist, Deni-
Kearney. The decent people of San
Francisco should offer a price for his head.

THE RIOT BILLS TRIALS.
The Riot. Bill bribery eases were call-:d for
trial in the Dauphin ceunty court, ou Mon
day last, when pleas of guilty were enter
ed, by counsel, in the cases of Wm. IL
Kemble, Jesse R. Crawford, Charles B.
Salter, and Wm. F. Rutnberger. The plea
of Wm. H. Kemble included "corrupt so
licitation" only, and di I not admit the
corrupt offering of "any money or tbinc
f,f value" to any of the persons named in
Ihe indictment. Keitib.e was also under
indictment for perjury, but it is thought
that his plea of guilty in the other case
will avoid a trial for perjury. This turn
of the case took every one by surprise, as
no one expected that these defendants would
acknowledge their guilt, and their trial
waQ looked forward to with great interest
by the people throughout the State. Rep
rcsentative Charles E Wolfe, of Union
who was inArumcotal in bringing to the
surface this rotten tr.ins.,ction, and who
the leader of th) , H u-e Committee tor the
1)1..1-within. regards the result as a com
plete vindication, and justifies his cout,e
in instituting the prosecution. his object
in these prosecutions was to expose the
modus operandi of legislation at Harris
burg in these latter years, and by so doing
he has accomplished a good wot k, and in
the future the work of the lobbyist will be
attended with some danger to his pocket
and his personal freedom.
The penalty which the act of Assembly
attaches to the offense of corrupt solicit,
tion, to which these defendants have plead
guilty, is a fine not exceeding $l,OOO, and
imprisonment net exceeding one year.
The minimum punishment is not prescribed.
After the disposition of the above cases,
the Commonwealth against Emile J. Pe
troff was called, and after some delay,
caused by the late arrival of Judge Jere
Black, counsel of the Commonwealth, a
jury was sworn, the case opened by the
District Attorney, and the examination
proceeded with.
The other cases put down for trial at
this term, by request of counsel on both
sides, have been pos , poned, and it is the
general belief that they will never come
to trial. By agreement the 29th inst. has
been fixed upon as the Lime for the impo
sition of sentences on Kemble, Rumberger,
Salter and Crawford.

The New Yolk World, the leading
Democratic paper in the Empire• State, as
serts that Mr. Tilden is paying $5O a head
for delegates to the Pennsylvania Demo
cratic Convention.
If Tilden should be nominated at Cin
cinnati, and it looks as if he had the party
well in hand to bring about such a result,
the New York World will have a very un
palatable dish of •crow" to gulph down.
The German Republicand of Cleveland,
to the number of over thirteen hundred,
have signed a protest against a third term
for Gen Grant. The Anzei:yer, the Ger
man organ of the same city says that it
Grant is nominated it will repudiate him
It is said that Tilden has already se
cured over five hundred rooms at Cin
cinnati, and his agents are still in search
for more. It looks as if Sammy intended
to run that convention to suit himself, and
he intends to chalk the hats" of all his
followers. And so he should, for he will
never miss the amount required to do it
from his bar'l
The Tilden boom had a reverse in Al
legheny county, on Saturday last, at the
meeting of the Democratic committee
The Tildenites, with Col Barr, of the Post,
at their head, wanted but one Convention
called, but their proposition was voted
down by a decided majority, and instead
of one convention there will be ten, one
for each Senatorial and Representative
district in the county.
JUDGE JERE BLACK. is given the credit
of preparing the plan and writing the re
port accompanying it, for a change in the
electoral system of choosing President and
Vice President. It advocates an election
by a pluarlity vote, rather than by a major
ity, and discusses at great ler. 4 th the histo
ry of the present system, and of the differ
ent elections held under it. The old sys
terse grew out of Federal distrust of the .
people, says Judge Black, but he forgets
to add, says the Harrisburg Telegraph.
that it worked very well as long as the
Democratic party had a majority of votes
in the College. When the Democracy
were repudiated by the people they went
to work to destroy not only the electoral
system, but that also of the Government.
If the Democratic effort to improve the
electoral system was honest, it would de
serve respect, but it is only another shape
in which they desire to defeat the will of
the people in using the elective franchise
THE National Greenback Convention
met at St. Louis on Friday last. The
associated press telegram says that the
convention adopted resolutions similar to
last year. Stttphen B Pillage, of New
flatnpshire, was nominated for president
by a small majority and B. J. Chambers,
of Texas, for. vice president, although a
telegram had bees received from the form
er stating that be would not accept a nomi
nation in opposition to the nominee of the
Chicago convention. Motions putting in
nominatimrJohn C Fremont and Solon
Chase were not seconded. The national
executive committee was announced and
the convention adjourned to meet in
Chicago on June 9. There was great
confusion and W. H. B. Lauton, editor of
the West Tennessee Whig, with five other
e Mors, withdrew. amidst cries of "get out."
Second Open Letter to R. Milton Speer
SIR I—lli II;y• letter published two weeks
ago, I cruel the lldur , Tracy of the
county to bear witness that you had, in
your personal organ, wade on me a most
'shameful, wanton and ungrateful attack.'
and that solely because 1 had not voted f.r
you for School Director at at ,lectiott w hieh
you said had "no political si„.nifie:inee."
Norwithsiarnling you own and coot, 1
paper, and its heading reads,'• S. FLT M
ING iti Cu., FUBLISILEItS. S. E. FLEMING
EDITOR,' and you, in your own pk r- n
represent Mewing & Cr , "with all the
rights and appurtenances," as we law
yers say "thereunto belonging," you take
refuge behind your nominal editor and
claim that you did not write the article
attacking we, arid that you did not see it
until it appeared in print. Tne language
of the article, howe%er, is yours. You re
peated almost the identical language cut,
I,ined in it, to a group of your srecil ad
miters, in a store in this town, before it
appeared in the Monitor. Besides, who
ever knew „fa e,ilunin arid a half editorial
app raring io your newsiriper, ;hat
been writ, n or snpervi-ed by you' Wit!.
)our man in burkiani I have n thin_ ro
do. lam to:, old a sr.rrstuao to waste my
ammuniiirin on a tom tit. It is you. sir,
ah as own , r and publisher nt the news
paper, and author of the article in ques
tion, I hold responsible. . .
Bern of a race, of Democrats who have
been somewhat conspicuous in the history
of the Democratic piny ~f• this State, I
value to this county in 1847, and in every
campaign since, ae the people of this county
well know, I have ilevoted my time, ener
gies and best talents for the success of the
Democratic party and its principles. I
believe that the perpetuity of our free in
stitutions depends wholly upon the success
of the Democratic patty and the mainten•
ance of its principles I have been no office
seeker. I have always considered it a duty,
as well as a privilege, to work for the suc
cess of the Democratic party, and with the
blessing of God, I will continue to fight
its battles as long as I ant vouchsafed
health and strength to do so. In 1870 I
was nominated by my party and elected to
the Senate of Pennsylvania. For this honor
I feel very grateful. I was in the Senate
three years, and I thought that my con
duct there was acceptable and had been
generally approved by my constituents,
and I still think so. I defy you to specify
and point out a stain on my official record,
or a job that I ever voted for while in the
Senate. It is a very easy matter for you
to say in your newspaper that I supported
"all the jobs, big or little," but words, with
you, are very cheap, and until you specify
some job I supported, you must stand in
the pillory, convicted of defamation, and
of willfully intending to blacken the char
acter of your neighbor. And just here I
will remind you that you say that my
" record was so notoriously bad that when I
"opposed a bill in the Senate dividing the
"Ste e into legislative districts, C.I. A.
" K McClure, editor of the Philadelphia
" Times, who was then a member of that
body, made the retort 'that it wasn't
"worth while for Mr. Petrikin to oppose
" any bill districting the State, because no
district could be made strong enough to
" elect him.' " I have you still in the
pillory. Stand up, as I intend to convict
you of wilful! and deliberate falsehood. I
was qualified as a Senator in January, 1871,
and my term expired at the close of the
session of 1873. The only bill that was enter
tained or passed for dividing the State into
legislative districts, whilst I was in the
Senate, was during the session of 1871.
The bill passed, waling Centre, Hunting
don, Mifflin and Juniata counties a Sena
tonal District, and met with no objection
from me, because it gave us a decidedly
Democratic district. The bill was sent to
the Governor for his signature on the 25th
of April, 1871 and afterwards became a
law. Cu!. McClure was not then a Sena
tor. He did not take his seat in the Sen
ate until the 27th day of March, 1872,
after a contest with Harry Gray, who had
been returned as Senator to fill the unex
pired term of George Connell, who was the
Senator from that district when the Leg
illative apportionment of 1871 became a
law, and who died after the close of the
session. During the time, therefore, that
I was in the Senate with Col McClure, no
Legislative apportionment bill was enter
tamed, and he could not have made the
"retort" you falsely put into his mouth
When you take up your pen again to coin
a deliberate falsehood, be careful that the
records cannot be found to refute it. Have
I not convicted you of willful falsehood ?
That I have will, I believe, to use a favor
ite expressicn of your own, be "the honest
conviction of every unbiased mind." You
stand condemned, and I will lave your
punishment with the Democracy of the
county who you attempted to deceive and
mislead. My justification of my Senatorial
career is spread upon the Legislative Jour
nal and the records of the Senate, and I
again defy you to turn to the record and
point out a single instance in which I ad
vocated a job, betrayed my constituents
or left a stain on my official life. With
the single exception of the time when Mr.
Stenger was a candidate for Congress, and
when, on account of my active efforts to
nominate you against him, and because of
my political association with you, I was
accused of voting against Mr Stenger, my
fealt• and devotion to the Democratic
party and its principles have never been
impeached. No one knew this better than
yourself. When your father and your
brother, each in their turn, were can&
dates on the Democratic ticket for Sheriff,
I gave them an ardent support. In 1870,
I nominated you for Congress, and my
efforts in your behalf contributed largely
to your election. In 1872 I again assisted
in your nomination. In 1874 you were
again a candidate, and I did my utmost to
secure your re nomination and election. At
the Conferencea t Newport,you were defeat.
ed and Mr. Stenger was nominated. Have
you forgotten what transpired in your room
at Newport, when you received the news
of your defeat, when, raising your hand,
you said to the persons there present,
"Gentlemen, I am defeated," and turning
to me, continued, "but I will never, no,
never, so help me God, forget the devo
" tion of Major Petrikin to me, and I did
" not deserve it." If you have forgotten
this, there are living witnesses who will
testify to it. I did all I could to nominate
you, but your back-pay record was too
strong a dose for the average Democratic
stomach, and you came home from the Con
ference breathing vengeance on Stenger,
and you labored secretly during the whole
campaign to defeat him. Being your warm
friend, and disappointed in the failure to
nominate you, I also came home from the
Conference in a bad humor, and if in that
campaign I did not give Mr. Stenger that
active support I should have done, I am
sorry that the friendship I then had for
you should have so far misled me. I hope
my conduct since has atoned for my mis
guided action I say this is the only blot
in my political featly to my party. 1 have
always since reeretted it, and have on all
occasions asked my party, as I now pub
licly do, to forgive we. Have you ever
said you regretted or asked to be forgiven
for it ? I charged in taffy letter two weeks
ago, that you bad bought the Monitor with
your back pay receivedfin Congress,for the
express purpose of defeating Steuger's
election, and to this you put in no denial,
although since that you have published
two issues of your paper. You have never
denied it, cannot deny it, and it would, I
suppose, be beneath your dignity to ask
the Democracy to forgive you—and that.
because knowing you as I do, you imagine
you are their tna-ter, and they are your
servants. You noel law and received your
education iii the Zee of my p
, nd myself We never charged you a cent
fir your tuition. Son after your admit
sion to practice law, I assisted you irr
-ecuring ail e.tetien as int Cliatk to
Fietise of Representative- of' Pentisvi
y-etia Y.. 0 wto a cindolite for Di-oriet
Att. roey. and I did all I could to elect you
I have al , eady --tated wh rr I drd t 11.1t11 '-
nate and eleet you to C •ngress the seveiai
ierws y• i w re a can•lid :re I oever, from
Ihe time you first came to HuntinAon,
have so much as laid a political straw in
your path.
With all this devotion to your personal
and political fortunes, I am charged by
you, for the first time, in a public news
paper, and that your own paper, with want
of fealty to my party, and wade the sub
jest of a wicked and unprovoked attack
And why ? Because you, being a candi
date for School Director. neminat.d on a
Fusion rieket. comps •d of Democrats an•i
Greenbackers, I would not support you.
Aioeds ••nd niiiitster- or Go ace detetid u-:!:
is that the Shihb 'hub of the D w cr:ey ?
I an elector ha- n:it votrd rr you tor
School Director, is he guilty of dant:table
heresy and with a r, fitiement of eruelt'
unparalelled, must he be read out of the
party and consigned to the tender mercies
of W H. Woods and W M Williamson ?
This is the test you have wade in your
newspaper, and it was upon this pretext.
whatever other selfish or malicious motive
may have lurked behind it, that you sin
gled out Mr. McNeil and myself and made
us the target for your malice
Now. sir, in the support of Fusion tick
ets, how stands your record ? Iu 1869 the
Woods wing of the Republican party oh
rained the control of the County Conven
tion and nominated the Republican Coun
ty ticket with Williamson for Treasurer,
Fouse for Prothonotary, Lamberson for
County Commissioner, and Richardson fl ir
Director of the Vow.. The Democrats in
County Convention, agreed to fuse with
the Scott Republicans, upon the following
ticket : Treasurer, Cloyd, a one armed
soldier; Prothonotary, McNeil; County
Commissioner, Jackson; Poor Director,
James Smith. Every man on the ticket a
Democrat but Cloyd, and consequently, it
should have received a united Democratic
support. True, however, to your selfish
instincts, because 'Williamson, if elected
Treasurer, would have deposited the Coun
ty funds in the Union Bank, in which you
are a Stockholder, you used the most
strenuous efforts to defeat Cloyd and elect.
Williamson. To accomplish your purpose,
you wrote letters to prominent Democrats,
enclosing the Democratic ticket with
Williamson's name on as Treasurer, with
a five dollar bill, and saying, "where you
" cannot get a Democrat to vote for Wil
" damson let him vote a BLANK fur Treas
" urer; under no consideration let his vote
"be cast for Cloyd." Notwithstanding
your efforts, you lost your money, and
your candidate for Treasurer was defeated,
and Cloyd and the whole Fusion ticket
were elected by handsome majorities. Had
I been the owner of a newspaper, and
charged you with a Want of fealty to your
party for your opposition to part of this
ticket, nominated by your party, and had
said that your conduct was cowardly, no
one sooner than yourself' would have
complained that it was a hard measure to
meet out to you. Yet, because on a fusion
ticket, nominated by yourself, I did not
vote for you for School Director, you have,
in your newspaper, vented your malice on
my unoffending head.
To this attack I replied in a Republi
can newspaper, because the only newspa
per in the county, professing to be Demo
cratic, was owned and controlled by you
In that letter I said, "I have been con:.
,' pelled to say this much. Considering
the unprovoked attack you made on me,
"you could hardly expect I would have
't said less. Upon how you shall deport
" yourself in the future, will largely de
" pond whether I shall ever publicly say
" more "
Again you renew the attack in the two
last issues of your newspaper, in language
of which you, if there is such a word as
shame in your vocabulary, should be
ashamed. You do not, as every well
thinking man would say you should have
done, apologize for the wrong you at
tempted to do me, but you say we stand
by every wordin the article, and have no
" apology to make." Neither do you at
tempt to justify your conduct, but for the
benefit of your three hundred subscribers,
you then entertain them with slang and
Billingsgate, such as only "an extraor
denary Quarter Sessions lawyer from the
mountains," as one of your Congressional
Colleagues once called you, only could do.
You call me "a dirty creature." Did
you write that in your sober senses ? I
have heard you orally apply such epithets
to Hon. Wm. A. Wallace after your defeat
for the nomination for Congress at New
port. I have heard you call Hon. John
Scott "a dirty hound." You have, for
the purpose of acquitting a culprit you
were defending, in your speech to the jury
defamed the character and motives of the
pastor of the church of which you profess
to be a member, and in the same speech,
to the same jury, in like manner, defamed
the character of the Episcopal clergyman
of this town. You have used like epithets
before, and I suppose "as an extraordinary
Quarter Sessions lawyer," you are priv
ileged to use them again. But this is the
first time, I believe, I have known you to
put such epithets in writing and apply them
to me or anyone else. You, however, have
a newspaper of your own, and are privil
eged to do so, if you wish.
There is no argument in epithets, and
Ido not intend to use them. If I did, I
might say that when after you had been
sworn in the Tyhurst libel case, I heard
some one say you were very "inexact" in
your testimony. That when you tried
your case against Greenberg, that I heard
Greenberg say that your testimony in the
case was flat perjury. That at the last
court, when, after you left the stand as a
witness in the Green Eby case, Ex. Sher
iff Neely confronted you with a written
receipt,and denounced you as having sworn
to a down right positive lie. I might say
that when you testified in the Tyburn
Walls libel case, "that you were not at
home at the time of the Inquisition of
Lunacy," that you had hardly left the
stand before a respectable gentleman of
this town, and a brother of one of the
jurors, said "that is not true, because
Speer told me when the Inquisition of
Lunacy was sitting, that he was interested
in the decision of the jury, and asked me
to intercede with my brother and have
him decide in his (your) favor."
The truthfulness of these charges you
can settle with the gentlemen who made
them. I do not endorse them, but pro
duce them to show how easily they can be
made, and how, even your spotless charac
ter and name. may be sullied. I shall not
bandy epithets with you, or use slang. I
consider them only the weapons of uncut
tured persons, and fur want of argument
used by them when worsted in a contro
vcrsy.
Having applied to me the epithet of
"dirty creature," you proceed to call me
"bankrupt," say I am "despised," "bro
ken," "ruined," &c., and:indulge in other
choico language to show how scholarly and
gentlemanly you can be when occasion de
mands it. You then intimate that for years
you had endeavored to lave me from some
unmentioned fate, and then cap the cli
max of your littleness by saying, "before

it. Now, candidly, do you think, if you
had owed me $lO.BO, or any other sum
that I would have published the fact in a
public newspaper ? Contemplate, for an
instant, your language and your conduct
Great God ! can any finite mind encom
pass the length, breadth and depth of your
meanness?
And what, sir, do you mean when you
say that you endeavored to save me from
my fate ? What fate ? And when did you
endeavor to save me ? If, by this, you
pretend to assert that at any time or un
der any circumstances, yon ever did me a
political or pecuniary favor, I have only
to say that your mendacity is only equalled
by your meanness. I oever craved any
political or financial favors from you. I
don't owe yon one farthing, and never did,
excepting all the time the now historical
$lO.BO. 'The obligation is all on the other
side as I have shown above. I have been
the main prop and stay of your political
fortunes. It is not amazing, however, that
you should have made such a preposterous
and impudent claim, because I think no
one will now be astonished at your bold
ness, mendacity or malice. When and
how did you ever save me or any one else
Let the record you have made for your
self in the cases of James Walls, Jacob
Hoffman, Henry Greenberg, James C.
Smiley, and others, answer. Your whole
pathway is strewn with the wrecked for
tunes of men who, trusting you,
you have
betrayed and deceived. It would be refresh
ing news, indeed, to learn that you had ever
saved any one.
I have already written a long letter.
I said in my former letter, I regretted that
you, by your conduct, had compelled me
to write that one. You made the attack
on me and my self-respect compelled me
to answer it. To the Democratic party of
the county, both you and I are unimport
ant factors, and the grand old party will
live, and its men and measures will con
tinue to control the destiny of this COULI
try when you and I are in oar graves.
Had you not resumed the attack on me in
the last two issues of your paper, I would
not have written this letter. I have en
deavored to repel your fresh assaults. There
is but one other subject to which I
will refer, and then, unless you otherwise
will it, I will drop a controversy, which
you commenced, and which must be dis
tasteful to Democrats, and pleasing only to
Republicans. For the opening of the con
troversy you are alone to blame.
The subject to which I refer is the
"back pay" to which I referred as taken by
you, and with which -you purchased the
Monitor. You kindly remind me that
you accepted "just what the law gave you
and not one cent more," and that yen
"voted against the bill providing for an
increase of salaries of members of Congress,
but when it became a law you accepted the
increase." The italics are your own.
Now what are the fa cts ? You did vote
against it. You have heretofore led your
friends to believe that you had spoken
against it on the floor of the house. That,
however, is a mistake, as no such speech
can anywhere be found in the records of
Congress, and you do not now claim that
you did anything but vote against the bill.
Your name is recorded on the first passage
of the bill against it. The history of that
vote, however, has never been written.
At least three of your Democratic col
leagues in Congress say that if your vote
had been needed to carry the bill, that you
would have voted for it. That on the
calling of the yeas and nays, yon sat, pen
cil in hand, closely watching the vote, and
when your negative vote would not change
the result, you voted no If that is the
correct history of your vote, is completely
robs you of any credit in voting against
the bill. But suppose we give you the
benefit of the doubt and say that you were
conscientiously opposed to the bill and so
voted. Your opposition, then, could only
be founded on the belief that yon had
not earned the money, and that, therefore,
it would be robbery on your part to put
your hand into the Treasury and take
$5,000 of the money wrung by taxes from
the hard earnings of the people, that did
not belong to you. You must have held to
this opinion, or you would have voted yea.
But the record shows you toted nay, and
then took the money Had you voted yea
and then took it, yon might have persua
ded somebody that you were moved by bon
est and proper purposes, and that the
money properly belonged to you. But by
voting against the bill and the receipting
for the money, you wrote your own con
demnation. Was there any law, human
or divine, that compelled you to take that
$5,000 out of the Treasury ? Were you co
erced to do so? Did any of the soldiers
of the Republic arrest you and bring you
before the Treasurer of the United States
and try to compel you to take this money ?
If they bad, you could have answered, "I
will not take it, I voted against the bill, and
it is wrong to rob the people." But it seems
you did not act in this way. You did take
it. Not so, however, did your townsman,
Hon. John Scott, who voted against the
bill, and returned the .nosey Leto the
Treasury, notwithstanding it "becam? a
law." I use your italics again. Not so
did forty six honest, conscientious m--m
-bers of the same House of Representa,tive. ,
and twenty six Senators, who had voted
against the bill. They refused to touch
the money They argued that it would be
robbery to take it. That they would he
in the position of a men who had received
stolen goods. In other words, it would be
"ill gotten gain." Avarice, your demon,
seems to have been hurrying you on to
your ewn destruction, and regardless of
conscience, in defiance of all morality and
justice, and in the teeth of public senti
ment, you clutched the $5,000, stuck it
into your pocket and started for the moan-
tains of Pennilvania

onotett proct•edio4s) : 'And moved a non
concurrence of the convention in the re
port of the committee so far as read giving
as his reason that Speer had, as a mem
" ber,of Congress, taken back pay." You,
in vain, attempted to stem the torrent, and
said you hoped you would not be stabbed
io the house or your friends. I quote again
from the printed proceedings : "Messrs
"C W. Carrigan and J. Lawrence Getz
" spoke in behalf of Mr Speer The lat
" ter gentleman upheld the back-pay bill
" and was hissed from the floor. That
"sense of the Convention was almost
" unanimously against Mr. Speer being
" the permanent Chairman. In a short.
" speech be withdiew his name and moved
" that the name of Dr. Andrew Nebinger
" be substituted. This was carried and Dr.
" Nebinger took the chair." The conven
Lion then, proceeded to nominate James E.
Ludlow for Judge of the Supreme Court,
and F M. Hutchison for State Treasurer,
and then the Committee on Resolutions re
ported a series of resolutions, and amongst
'them the following :
Resolved, That we condemn without reserve the
act of Congress granting additional salaries and
back-pay grabs as unjust and unjustifiable, and
demand its immediate and unconditional repeal,
and we denounce every member of Congress,
whether . Republican or Democrat, who supported
the law, or received the money procured thereby,
and we especially denounce the conduct of Presi
dent Grant in using the influence of his high po
sition for its passage, and whose official signature
made it a law.
That is goo I Democratic doctrine, and
I suppose Son will not object to it go
ing into Democratic households It may do
good. The printed report reads, "the reso
lutions were adopted unanimously." You
were a member of that Convention and
must have voted for the resolution and
your own condemnation. otherwise the re
port could not have been adopted unani
mously. This is the record you have made
for yourself. When I said, therefore, that
the $3,000 was "ill gotten gain," I was
only repeating what the assembled repre
sentatives of the Democracy of Pennsyl •
vania, and yourself of the number, ha d
unanimously resolved. I will not now or
ever call your attention to what the public
press at the time said of your conduct,
unless by your conduct in the future you
shall compel me to do so. I have endeav
ored to prove what I said in my former
letter, that you are sordid, selfish and un
grateful, and in conclusion will warn you
that when, in imitation of your illustrious
prototype, you erect a gallows to hang
Mordecai, have a care you are not sus
pended from it yourself
