A Good Example.
In the Judicial District of Dauphin
and Lebanon, the Republicans have
re-nominated Hon. John J. Pearson
for President Judge ; and the Demo
cratic conferees unanimously concur
red in the nomination. Here is an
example worthy the imitation of all
sensible Republicans of Cumberland
county. Judge Pearson is seventy
two years of age, and has been on the
bench twenty years; but having proved
himself an able and upright Judge, the
people of that district are going to vote
for him without distinction of party.— .
Judge Graham is but sixty-one years
old, and as to qualifications for the
position thero is no comparison between
him and his competitor. Vote for Judge
Graham, and secure a man capable for
the position.
Where, Oh, Where!
Where, oh, where, is Geo. H. Evans?
That is the question which the people
are discussing now. Where is he ? Let
his Ring confederates answer. We
never for a moment supposed he would
be arrested. If arrested ho will not be
brought to trial until alter the election.
It does not suit Republican political
purposes to have his confederates un
masked on the eve of an important
election. The disclosures would bo 100
damaging. Attorney General Brewster
has no desire to have him brought be
fore the courts. He is too shrewd a
politician for that, and too deeply im
bued with Republican principles to
raise his hand to, strike down his party.
jiut the people are not satisfied with
such proceedings. They want to know
where George H. Evans is, and why he
has not been arrested.
Tuesday Next!
Democrats! GO TO THE POLLS
ON TUESDAY NEXT, AND VOTE
THE WHOLE TICKET. Try and get
your Radical neighbors right, and take
them with you. Democrats, there are
hundreds of good, honest Republicans
Hint have become disgusted with the
corruption and extravagance of their
party leaders, and who feel like assist
ing us in redeeming the State from
Radical misrule. There are. also, him-,
dreds of other likewise good, honest
Republicans within our county limits,
who do not know, or will not believe,
the recent disclosures of raonstroas
Radical frauds, which, did they be
lieve, would hasten them to join us in
the great work of political redemption.
See these men personally, furnish them
with the proofs of Radical rascality,
convince them of the truth of these out
rageous robberies of the State and Na
tional treasuries, and, —not in the spirit
of party 'disputation—calmly reason
with them as to what should be their
duty when they come to deposit their
ballots on Tuesday next. Appeal to
their good sense as citizens of a proud
old Commonwealth that has been dis
graced and dishonored by the men now
occupying high positions, to assist
in bringing about a change ol public of
ficials—to come to the rescue in this
the hour of tho Slate’s dishonor, and
and hurl from power the party that
has forfeited their respect and is no
longer worthy of their confidence or
support. Ournomine.es are competent
and honest. Our duty in the premises
is plain. We must get out the vote,
and as many of the opposition to vote
with ns as possible*. The people are
with ns if you can get them to the polls,
Spare' no time. Work earnestly, de
votedly, quietly, publicly,successfully,
until victory is tho result.
A Bold Attempt At Fraud !
A deliberate attempt is being made
by .the Radical leaders to carry Cum
berland county by fraud. A number
of negroes have been imported mto
the county to vote at the coming elec
tion. Twenty-one negroes arrived
from Harrisburg on Saturday last, and
were taken to Mt. Holly over the
South Mountain Eallroad. Several
leading Radicals then made it their
buslness'to have them assessed. They
are now employed at some of the ore
banka in that vicinity, where hereto
fore no negroes have been employed.
Let the white freemen of South Mid
dleton rebuke this attempted
by a Democratic majority of ouo hun
dred and fifty. They can do it if they
try. Let no Democrat remain at homo
and permit the county to ho sold put to
hireling negroes from other counties.

A vote cast for the Deraocratio ticket
is n rebuke of the wrongful conversion
of the State securities by the Eadical
State officials.
Self-Sacrificing.
Mr. Weakley, the Had leal candidate
for Senator in this district, is at pres
ent the Deputy Secretary of the Com
monwealth. His yearly salary is $2,000
with perquisites. He proposes to re
sign liis present position to occupy a
"seat in the Senate at a salary of 11,000,
without perquisites 1 How is this ? The
office of Deputy Secretary confers just
as much honor upon its occupant ns the
office of Senator does, and it pays more
than $l,OOO over that of Senator. How
comes it, then, that Mr. Weakley is
wil
Iling to make this sacrifice? Like
most men he" is fond of money—fond'
:Of— saving—up—tlvis—
'a”rniny"dijy^ T r[sT£ no? \TOn3MISr i ’Tlien“'
that ho should, voluntarily, throw away
more than, a thousand dollars a year?
1 Ah, wo see how this is. The office of
Senator with Radicals 'is a paying posi
tion. , Radical Senators and members
of the House attach themselves to
riugs, and these rings pay well for the
work demanded. The election of a
United States Senator, State Treasurer,
<tc., afford fine pickings for members of
the Legislature in the employ of the
ring. Then our big rail-roads have jobs
on hand every winter, and they pay
well. Again, great frauds Qiko the
Evans robbery) have to be whitewashed
and covered up, and they pay well.—
We see how it is, then. Mr. Weakley
expects to make more money by hold
ing a $l,OOO position, than he makes by
holding a $2,000 office. He knows
what he is about, aud is ready for the
sacrifice. '
Slanders lief vied !
The Mechanicsburg Journal , after
venting its spleen in a tirade of per
sonal abuse against Judge Graham, in
sinuates that the State Beports would
show that Judge Graham is not the
right man for the Judicial office. To
show the falsity of this accusation, we
pr’
publish a-list of the cases, as far as they
have been decided, from this Judicial
District, at Inst May term (1871), show
ing- that out of eighteen cases, but three
have been reversed, and an examination
of the docket of the Supreme Court,
would show about a similar result, dur
ing Judge Graham’s term. Every law
yer knows that many cases are affirmed
and not reported, and when judgments
of “’Non Pros’’ are entered, which are
an affirmance, substantially, of the |
judgment of the lower court, the cases
are never reported; but alt cases re
versed are reported for tiro information
of the court and counsel where the case
is to be again tried. The cases reported
will show about two cases affirmed to
one reversed; and if to these are added
the cases affirmed and not reported, and
the judgments of “Non Pros” entered,
the result would be four or five cases
affirmed to one reversed.

COST OP OIK BOYAL UOMF.HOI.I),
Farmers, mechanics and others who
receive from two to four dollars per
day, out of which they support their
families and pay taxes to keep up the
best Government the world ever saw,
would, no doubt, like to know what
becomes of a portion of their hard earn
ings. Prom the following statement, it |
will bo seen that to keep up style the
sea-side lounger makes away with a
good share of it. In Democratic times
$25,000 per annum, was considered
enough to keep a President; but times
have changed—thq Government has
found new quarters at Long Branch ;
besides it likes fast horses, good cigars,
champagne, itc. j in fact revels in them
no matter if the taxpayer's nose is
kept at tire grindstone. The statement
alluded to is for keeping up the White
House at Washington, for the year

Or.DEiWi have been sent from Wash

removal from office of all "Greeley Re
publicans.” In compliance with the
order the Postmaster of New York re
moved eighteen clerks who w.ere Inends
of Greeley, and the Collector of the
port removed fifty-four lor the same
reason. Greeley makes light of all this,
and coolly remarks, “goon, gentlemen,
on the -Ith of March, 1872, we will do
mand the removal from office of some,
men whom' not Greeley Republicans.”
A Big Beam in the Radical
Bye.
The Radical journals of'Pennsylvania
affect to bo greatly exercised just now
over the corruptions of the Tammany
ring in New York city. They shudder
at the flagrant stealing charged upon
Boss Tweed and his associates. They
are such honest ■ fellows—those radical
editors—that they never suspected that
such wickedness ns peculation of public
money betokens, existed in this world,
until they read the startling record of
the expenses of New York. Now, we
suggest to these righteous gentlemen
that, although their discernment of the
gravity-of the sin of stealing
helped vastly by extending their gaze
over a wider area 'than the single city
of Gotham. They might get abetter
view of the mote in the Democratic
eye if they would first extract tho
monstrous beam that bedims tho Radi
cal orb. And, by way of helping them
to this visual emancipation, we present
tho following imperfect but suggestive
list of sums stolen from the treasury
under the administration of Grant:

It is worth while for those Republi
cans who are interested in the Border (
Damage Bill to remember that it was a
Democratic Senate that passed the
original bill, last winter, and a Kepub- ,
licau House that ’defeated it. Every
Democratic Senator voted for the bill—
every Depublican Senalor voted against iU
There is nothing to be gained in haying
a Republican Senator who will either
vote against all relief for the border
people; or, even if favorable to such a
1 measure, would be unable to carry any
of his party in the Senate with him.—
Vote for Peffer and Williams.
Last winter every effort was made to
get Governor Geary to recommend the
passage of the “Border Claim Bill” in
his annual message, but he declined to
do so. J. M. Weakley, Esq., the Radi
cal candidate for Senator, was then and
is now Deputy Secretary of the Com
monwealth. If he had earnestly urged
the proposition, relief might have been 1
obtained before this. If he was un
willing or unable to do any thing in the
position of Deputy Secretary, it l is not
very likely he could do much in the
Senate. We want a man there who
will work in harmony with the Demo
cratic majority, and Ihentheir influence
may bo secured for the Border Claim
Bill. Vote for Peffer and Williams.
Another Swindle.
There is no end to the swindles at
Washington and elsewhere since the
Radicals came into power. One of the
greatest of these is the PUBLIC! LAND
SWINDLE. Between the 4th of
March, iB6O, and July 1871, General
Grant approved bills, passed by a Rad
ical Congress, giving away
107,000,000 ACRES
of the public land—enough to make
seven States as large as Pennsylvania.
This land was intended to be hold and
sold to poor men , and their sons, for
hoiritsteads, at $l.BO per acre, but in
stead, a Radical Congress and Presi
dent have given it away to great cor
porations who charge from three to ten
dollars an acre for ,it. The Democratic
pju'ty is opposed to this land swindle,
and if it gels into power it will put a
stop to it. Unless stopped shortly there
will not be an acre left to sell to poor
men.
The Republicans claim that Junkin
will run ahead of his ticket in Perry
county—that Democrats will vote for
him as a matter of county pride, to se
cure the President Judge to Perry
county. Now this is a sword that cuts
both ways. Nobody in this county is
particularly interested in having a
Judge residing in Bloomfield; and
when it comes to the question of county
pride, we have about as much of it as
the Perry county, people. From the
Indications wo hear, Junkin will run as
much behind his ticket here as he will
ahead of it in Perry county.

Wo are reliably informed that some
of our active Democrats have been
tendered fifty and a hundred dollars to
use their influence quietly for certain
candidates on the Radical ticket. In
two instances we know of, the offer
was indignantly spurned. If there are
any Democrats base enough to betray
their party for, money, we trust they
will bo watched and exposed.
Fbanklin County fob Pefpeb.—
The Chambersburg Spirit says that the
Democrats of that district "have no
idea of the Radicals carrying it. Mr.
Peffor will get the full Democratic vote
of Franklin county. Neither the Geary
faction, nor the Cameron faction, nor
both combined, can elect Mr. Weakley,
the Republican candidate.”
$132,000
Robbing all Abound— lt is very
evident that, the tax payers of the Com
monwealth have been robbed of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars within the
last six years, through partiality and
favoritism in the Auditor General’s of
fice, Groat railroad and other corpora
tions, which should have paid thousands
into the Treasury, have got.olVby pay
ing hundreds only. And yet, our .Rad
ical friends want to elect i! perfect know
nothing, Dr. Stanton,'to Unit office lor
the purpose of continuing this species of
robbery. Harlranft has done enough
at that kind of- business. Hreak thu
corrupt ring by electing Gen. McCand
losa, and then the proper funds will hud
their way h)to tl)0 State Treasury.
Vote early, and stay all day at the
polls!
Public Mobbers, \

So many cases of defalcation! and
public stealing have occurred of late,
that it is utterly impossible for jis to
publish them all. The following! list
will show how muqh has been stolen by
Radical officials within a short time,
and no ono cart toll how much more re
mains as yet, undeveloped. When the
people are plundered in such a whole
sale manner, we think it is about time
to have a change in the management of
public affairs. The cry of New York
frauds may servo as a covering for Radi
cal frauds everywhere, but it is but a
thin one, used only to divert public at
tention -from inexcusable Radical pil-
fering: Rcadthls-li^tand-sc'e-WliatiS'
going on: „
1. There was stolen by Revenue Col
lectors, up to the 11th of February,
1871, according ’to' Mr. Boutjveli’s offi
cial statement to Congress, the sum of
$20,700,783.22. Not one of these de
faulters has boon prosecuted or called to
account.
2. The government vessel “Golden
Rule,” bearing $3,000,000 of govern
ment treasure was wrecked in the West
Indies and the money stolen. Presi
dent Grant afterward appointed the
chief pirate engaged in this business to
a high office in Washington.
3. By the connivance of Radical
members of Congress, George. Chorp
ening, a mail contractor, was allowed a
fradulont claim of $500,000 for services
he never performed.
4. J. Ledyard Hodge, a paymaster m
the army, according to his own pub-
jw,ooo
lished confession, stole more than $400,-
000 from the government. He is now
staying quietly at his house, No. 1423,
K street,’ Washington, with none I<>
molest him or make him afraid.
5. George 6. -Evans, Special Agent of
the Statu of Pennsylvania, robbed the
Treasury of $303,523.85, and the Radi
cal State officials allowed liim to escape
arrest.
... Sill),Jill,uoo
p. (Sen. Whittaker, postmaster at
Hartford, Coim., embezzled in th
neighborhood of $lOO,OOO. He is still
continued as postmaster by
Grant.
7. John W. Norton, assistant post-
master of New York, Is a defaulter to
the amount of $115,000. Ho is at largo
and likely to remain so.
As we have already sold this is hut a
small portion of the robberies com
mitted. What is yet to come to the
surface no man can conjecture. Let

SSyWe learn that Weakley and
Saddler, two of the Radical candidates,
•re appealing to Democrats for their
votes. Remember, Democrats, that
these two gentlemen never voted for a
Democrat in their lives. When they
approach you, therefore, with love
beaming eyes to honeyfuggle for a vote,
: let it bo remembered how they de
nounced every Democrat as a “vile
copperhead” during the war. Remind
I them of the past and spurn every over-
I ture they make 1 No Democrat who
I has a particle of self-respect can do any

BgyWould it n °t be better for Mr.
Lindsay, our Superintendent of Com
mon Schools, to attend to the duties for
which the tax payers pay him $l,OOO
per annum ? If ho were half as ze’alo.us
in the cause of education as lie is in
politics, our Common Schools would bo
in a much more prosperous condition
than they are. His conduct at present
is despicable and unwarranted. Slan
dering the Democratic candidates is not
what the people pay him for, and the
sooner ho knows this the better it will
be for himself and the schools of our
county.
We have positive information thal
five or six Democrats, residing in Car.
lisle, Middlesex, Newville and else
where, have been offered sums varying
from fifty dollars to one hundred and
fifty dollars each, to distribute Demo
cratic tickets jvith W. F. Sadler’s name
on, as candidate for District Attorney.
Mr. Sadler is very rich, it is true, but
we think he will fail in his effort to buy
his way into office. Mr. Beltzhoover
is poor, and even if he were so dispos
ed, could not afford to buy Republican
votes. A poor man still has a chance in
this county, and we have not 1 yet
reached so low a state that voters can
bo bought like sheep in the shambles.
Poor men, who value their independ
once and manhood more than a few
paltry dollars, will vote for Mr. Beltz
hoover, himself a poor man.
A Corruption JBund.
Two thousand dollars have been sent
into this district to carry it for Weak
ley. Are Democrats to be bought up
like cattle ? If any man professing to
be a Democrat, is found distributing
Democratic tickets with Weakley’s
name on, lot him be exposed at once.
In reply to numerous inquiries, by
letter ami' otherwise, we will state that
a careful canvass of the entire county
gives a Democratic majority of at least
eight hundred. TO GIVE THIS.
MAJORITY EVERY DEMOCRATIC
VOTE IN THE COUNTY MUST BE
POLLED. '
There will be no fraudulent allow
ance of ten per cent, commission on
claims, which Evanb never collected,
should the people elect Gen. MoCand
leas to the office of Auditor General.
General Grant, it is now con
ceded, will lead the Republican columns
next year, but as regards the second
place, there is some difference of
opinion. General John M. Harlan, a
gallant Kentucky loyalist, is looming
up prominently in the West, and, in
addition to being the favorite mhls
own State, he has many warm friends
in Ohio. Tho Louisville Commercial,
of Tuesday, formally presents his natpo.
-But can we yet afford to try the experi
ment of another Vice President irora
the South ? Why do so? TheSquthern
Republicans profess well enough now,

Mori Bnrtlcnl Frauds Exposed—How Tlioj
Cnu bo stopped*
The Now York Tribune, whoso or
thodox Radicalism none will dispute,
thus suras up the frauds committed by
Murphy, collector of the port of Now
York:
"The mass of evidence the Colonel
(Henry S. Olcott. appointed to investi
gate these frauds) presents, is a demon
stration (1.) that Mr. Murphy was
guilty of the grossest frauds in the de
livery of shoddyhats and caps to the
government; (2.) that these frauds
were international, and under his own
personal direction; (3.) that they were
so gross as to attract the attention of the
workmen and to elicit from the Quar
termaster General the declaration that
the goods could have ueeu received
-olilytliroughthoiiicompetcucyor.col
lusioTrof ttSB" ■iHSpector-'WhD-passea
them ; (4.) that Mr. Murphy had found
such known means ns presents of ele
gant carriages and like for making
■terms with Inspectors, to say nothing
of unknown and more powerful means,
there were reasons for suspecting; (o.)
that more potent means led to the direct
contradiction of himself by one witness,
he swearing, after being seen, to the
opposite of the most damaging testi
mony he had already given under oath
before the Commissioner; (G) that the
frauds nevertheless established in the
few trifling contracts investigated
amounted to $112,000.00; (7.) that po
litical influence, added to the purchase
of witnesses beforfi (and to run away
from) the final Commissioner led to a
political whitewashiug—the only one,
the Colonel auya, willed lie encountered
in the hundreds ol cases he investi
gated; (8.) that charges of grosser
frauds in Mr. Murphy’s blanket con
tracts were then forwarded him by the
Government, and that ho had had
enough of it, and quit.”
Murphy, who is guilty of the above
mentioned frauds, and for which he was
never punished, is the bosom friend of
President .Grant, and gave a cottage to
him, at Long Branch, worth $10,000.
Wbatdo honest Republicans of Cumber
land county think of this association ?
How do they like their President to be
the bosom friend of a man whom their
great leader, Greeley, says is guilty of
numerous frauds on the government?
It the Radical ticket should be elected
in this county, this fall, it will bean
endorsement of these frauds, and a
sanction of Grant’s association with a
swindler. We believe there are enough
honest Republicans in Cumberland
county to unite with honest Democrats
to rebuke them. How can we expect
to correct the abuses which prevail in
all departments of the government, and
are universally admitted, while they
are sanctioned among high official's?
The only way to do, is honest men
of the Radical party to unite with
Democrats an d stamp out these abuses.
In this reform we should begin atfhome.
Cumberland county will not, and canno
approve Murphy’s frauds, nor thePrcs
ident receiving his bribes. The election
of the Democratic ticket will be a re
buke to these transactions.

This county is being flooded with
negroes, who are expected to vote the
Republican- ticket at the coming elec
tion. Some are being brought in who
are not even registered, and attempts
will be made to vote them under the
names of others who are registered.—
Where their names do dot appear on
the list of voters, or Iheir votes are
challenged, certain proofs are required
by the registry law, and any election
officer who refuses or neglects to require
such proof as is prescribed by the law,
and admits such person to vote without
requiring such proof, is subject to arrest,
fine and imprisonment. Where deliber
ate attempts are made to vole men who
are clearly non-residents let all parlies
implicated be arrested. Any person
offering to vote, who is not entitled to
vote, can be arrested, and upon convic
tion fined five hundred dollars and sent
to tho penitentiary for five years; and
any person persuading or prevailing
on any person so to vote, is liable to
similar penalties. Let the law be en
forced against these Radical ballot-box
staffers and their negro allies.
Bogus Tickets.
We are informed that Democratic
tickets have been put in circulation, by
certain Republicans, with the name of
William M. Penrose, Esq., for President
Judge. So sar as we know, Mr. Penrose
is not a candidate for that position; and
we know him to be too highminded and
honorable to permit his name to bo
used in this way, and therefore . feel
justified in pronouncing the scheme a
Radical trick to catchunwary Democrats,
As he is not a candidate, every vote
cast for him will be one vote lost. Seo
to it that the name of James H. Gra
ham is on your ticket, and don’t bo
caught by this trick hatched in the
Herald oflice by a clique of malignant
Radicals;
No country in the world has a sys
tem so onerous as our Internal Revenue
system. It is unequal, unjust, unquisi
torial. It has held out temptation to
dishonesty, and rewards to dishonor. —
It has rendered revenue affidavits sus
pected as “dicer’s oaths.” It has made
perjury and bribery common, if not re
spectable. It has filled the land with
spies, informers and pimps, Who have
imposed upon honesty the burdens from
which vice has corruptly, bought ex
emption. It has realized the time—
“When Unaves ana foots o’er att prevail
Ana weigh out Justtco rn a golden scale."
S@-If .the Radicals had not the New
York frauds as air offset to the hundreds
of millions their own friends have been
stealing they would be in a bad way.—
The New York swindles are but a drop
in the bucket, as compared with the
Radical robberies, but they are used by
the Radicalt as sweet morsels to roll
undep tppir tongues.
Within two years the government
has derived a little more than four mil
lion dollars from the sale of the public
lands, but in that time a Radical Con
gress has bestowed two hundred mil
lions of acres of land on railroad mono
polies, This illustrates the manner in
\yhich the Radical party protects the
interests of the people.
There is not a candidate upon our
ticket, Democrats, who is not entirely
worthy of your confidence and support,
mon who will honor and dignify the
positions to which’ they have been
nominated. Let them have a full vote
and a rousing majority.
Every vote cast for tho Republican
ticket this fall will bo claimed by Grant
as an endorsement of hisadministration.
Are tho Jtepubiicans of Cumberland
county prepared thus to flatter him ?
The Judgeship,
•'The Independent, published at Miffl
intown, Juniata county, speakp thus on
the Judicial question :
ThP selection of a President Judge for
this district. Is to be determined by the
choice of either James H. Graham, the
present incumbent, or B. F. Juukin, tlie
new nspirant. The latter is the nominee
of the Republicans and the former the
choice of iho Democracy. We consider
the duties of. the office of Judge so en
tirely removed from partisan questions
tiiata party endorsement lias no influence
with us in inducing us to support Judge
Graham. Wo are for him because he has
been tried' and Ida official conduct lias
been approved ; because of ids extensive
knowledge of the law, his mind lias be
come tilted for judicial duties—by twen
ty years of training and experience—and
-because— his—naturai_ahhorrencQ_Qf_nlJ_
isjmlso'r'dhJViStlDTirls-wTflTißti'by-aeorrecP.i
knowledge of the established rules of eq
uity and jurisprudence. The friends of
Mr. Juukin claim fliat he is a learned
lawyer, and able advocate, qualities es
sential in a good judge. This may be true,
hut theu it requires years of discipline,
training and experience lo educate the
mind to enable it to examine a question
in all its bearings without the entrance
of prejudice or the existence of hastily
formed opinions. It is said that now
judges are frequently reversed by . the
Supreme Court, although they were
learned and able lawyers, and the reason
is because they cannot at once divest
themselves of the mental training of the
bar, which tends to one-sided investiga
tion of cases, and prejudicial examina
tion of the opposite view. It may ho
possible that in Course of years of expe
rience 01# the Bench, Mr. Juukin would
become what Judge Graham is now—a
good Judge. In former times, the term
of a Judge continued 11 so long ns he be
haved himself well in his office.” It is
because Judge Graham has borne bim T
self well in bis high office, that the peo
ple everywhere, throughout the county,
speak in bis praise. We are sure if
Messrs Graham and Juukin were Inde
pendent candidates iu this county, that
Judge Graham would ,have almost a un
animous vote. Mr. Junkiu, by reason of
party affection, prejudice and -pressure,
may succeed in.getting a large vote from
the republican ranks, but we think he will
discover, after the election, that be has
made, a sad mistake in bis eflort to ch
ain judicial honors by trying to defeat
;he present learned, experienced and able
urist, James H. Graham.
Haii. Route Swindles.— Tho Lan
caster Intelligencer says: . “ The graves
charges have been made against Post-
Master General Cresswell, in relation
to the letting of mail contracts, and it
has been very freely intimated that he
has been a party to swindles of the
grossest and most outrageous character.
The latest instance cited is that of one
Andrew Stewart, who some time ago
obtained a contract iroin the Postmaster
General, amounting to about $lO,OOO, to
carry the United States mails on Texan
waters in a steamer a distance of about
90 miles. It is now given out that the
water.mentioned is not deep enough to
float a steamer between the two points,
and that the mails are being transport
ed in a sailing vessel, which could bo
purchased for asmall amount of,money;
that the master of the vessel has the
use of the same for carrying the mails,
and makes his pay out of passengers,
freight, etc., while the contractor en
joys the benefits of the entire salary.—
It is stated that other parties bid to
carry the mail over the same route in
a sailing vessel, as it is now carried, for
$2,500.
We take the facts in this case from a
special telegram to the Now York
Tribune, and that is authority which
no Republican will presume to ques
tion.,, ’
The usual October raid into this
State will be mado by the Pennsylvania
clerks employed in the various Depart
ments at Washington, for tho purpose
of voting at tho approaching election
The section of the Registry law of 1809’
under which these patriotic clerks in
tend to vote, would bo declared uncon
stitutional by tho ,Supreme Court, if a
proper case were before it. Until it is
so pronounced, however, it must bo
obeyed. The section referred to confers
the right of suffrage upon those only
“ who do not vote where thus employed .”
At the election held in Vashington lost
May for Governor, members of the low
er branch of the Legislature,,and mem
ber of Congress for the District, it was
asserted after the election that the radi
cal election officers in that city permitted
all the clerks to vote who offered to do
so. Wherever, therefore, one of these
carpet bag officials offers to vote in this
State, he should be made to swear that
he has not voted in the District of Col
umbia. The pains and penalties of a
violation of our election-law might very
possibly cool the anxiety of these gen
tlemen for a radical triumph in this
State. At all events, it is the only way
to test the right to vote under the law
of 1809 by which they claim to exercise
that privilege.— Cambria Freeman.
Why They Want to Uepeat Mc-
Candless.— The reason why the Rad
ical leaders are so anxious to elect
Stanton Auditor General is apparent
when it is known that through his
hands must pass all the corrupt and
swindling hills like the Evans swindle.
If General McGandless is elected, the
Democracy Will place a guard over the
State Treasury, and all the robbing,
plundering*schemes will have to pass
under his observation before they are
settled. Ho will be in a position then
to head them off and choke the leeches.
No wonder then that Evans, Cameron
and other vampires who live and thrive
by gorging themselves with State plun
der want McGandless defeated. Mc-
Candless’ election would bo the death
knell to their raids on the Treasury.
The Newest Depature.— The split
in the Radical party on the Temper
ance question is wide and deep. Some
of the Radical parties denounce the
Temperance ticket recently nominated
at Harrisburg, in the bitterest terms.
The Bloody Run Press is one of these.
The Bedford Inquirer, too, gives its
Radical brethren of the Temperance
persuasion the cold shoulder, Wo have
been taught by these paper's that the
Radical party possesses “all the decen
cy” and morality a-going, but now
when, two wool-dyed Radicals like
Spangler and Wheeler are nominated
by the Temperance men these partisan
sheets stigmatize and abuse them. The
Keystone Good Templar says that the
Radical editors who assert that the
Democrats liad anything to do with
nominating the Temperance ticket are
“liars,” and that on the other hand
certain Radical politiesans tried to foist
themselves into the Temperance Con
vention to control it in the interest of
their party. The newest departure is
a sore thorn in the side of .the hide
bound Radioal editors.
—Bedford Gazelle.
jj@-To divide the Democracy is now
the main object of the Radical leaders.
Their only hope of success is in sowing
dissensions in the Democratic ranks. It
is believed that a portion of the Evans
plunder is being used in the present
campaign. More than likely.
The President has only spent three
days at tho seat of government since
last Spring, and tho members of his
Cabinet and the heads of departments
have been almost continuallv absent.
A thorough revolution in the office
of tho Auditor General of Pennsylva
nia Is imperatively demanded by every
consideration of public interest. That,
devolution can bo effected only by tho
election of Gen. McGandless,
Democrats of Cumberland, let us
have a full vote this fall. Got up early
and stay up late, if necessary, to secure
that result.
Constitutional Convention'
Voters must not forget tlmt n vote is
to bo taken this fall on tho question of
calling a convention, to amehd tho
Constitution of tho State. -Those in
favor of this proposition will voto l<oi
a Convention," while those opposed
“Against a CoHraitmn’ -aml- ha lGts
will bo found at every poll in the county
printed for and against it.
Wo have repeatedly expressed our
judgment in. favor of holding a con
vention to alter and amend tho present
State Constitution, or -to make a new
one. Wo have out-grown our present
Constitution. Formed and adopted
nearly forty years ago, when honesty
in legislation was the rule and not the
exception, it lucks tho safcguaids
against corruption that aro now abso*
lately required. Besides, when the
-present Constitution was adopted,
''greatcorporntions werein thelrinfancy..:.
but now they have become so powerful
that they control the Legislature when
ever they are interested to do, so. Their
power to do harm must be restrained,
and tho most effectual' way to do this
will bo to prohibit the Legislature
graiittng charters of any kind. Special
legislation has become one of the great
est ovilsmf the times, and which leads
to a great deal of tho corruption that
prevails at Harrisburg. This can be
remedied by prohibiting the passage of
any special act, and sending ail such
business to the courts. These and
many other evils call loudly for redress,
which cannot be reached in any other
way except by calling a convention
and remodeling our State Constitution.
We commend this subject to the serious
consideration of our readers of all
parties.— Doylestown Democrat.
After half a million of dollars has
been abstracted from tho coffers of the
nation by an unfaithful Paymaster, tho
War Department, has determined to
rigidly enforce all existing regulations
governing disburbing officers. Why was
a Paymaster allowed to squander half
a million of government funds in a pe
riod running over six years, and no no
tice taken of the fact? Tho whole finan
cial arrangement of President Grant’s
administration is rotten to tho core, and
each day that fact is made painfully
apparent to. tax payers.
•By. heavy taxes on coal, salt, iron,
steel, clothing, blankets, on the imple
ments of husbandry and-the tools of
trade, on nearly air the necessaries of,
the life of the poor man, and on his
medicines when sick, the Radicals testi
fy their devotion to the cause of the la
boring classes in this country.
: The Radical party in Congress have
squandered more than two hundred
millions of acres of the heritage of the
people on railroad monopolies, and yet
they boast of their sympathy for the
.laboring classes of the country.
Vote down the-Radicals as the only
disunion party that now exists through
out the country. It is this organization
which keeps the Union divided, depres
sing public confidence, ruins business,
and confessedly operates regardless of
the Constitution and the Law.
The laboring men of Pennsylvania
are asked to endorse, at the coming
election, the infamous tariff policy, a
policy which robs them of the fruits of
their toil in bounties to overgrown and
plethoric monopolies.
The people have'a right to inquire
what great swindle is to be attempted
in the Legislature this winter, that the
three most corrupt jobbers in the State,
Elisha W. Davis, George Connell, and
Butler B. Strang, should be nominated
for the Senate in districts where their
election is certain.
A vote for the Democratic ticket is a
rebuke to the grasping monopolists that
have been created by a subdized Na
tional Legislature.
A vote cast for the Democratic ticket
is a rebuke of the wholesale robbery of
the treasury at Harrisburg by promi
nent Radical officials.
[COMMUNICATED.
The Judgeship,
In the election of President Judge there
is one consideration which ought to ad
dress itself to every business man in the
county. Of the four candidates nomina
ted for Associate Judges, the nearest to
Carlisle is John Clendenin, Esq., who
lives in Hoguestown—nine miles from
Carlisle. Ttyere arc but few days in
which a judge is not required in Carlisle.
Almost daily he is wanted to approve of
guardians bonds, to appoint appraisers in
ease of voluntary assignments, to approve
of the sureties in bonds of assignees, trus
tees, and bail in recognizance for stay of
execution-, to take acknowledgments of
deeds for land out of the Stale, to hear
cases of habeas and many other
duties pertaining to the office of Judge.
Any person on business, requiring the
presence of a judge, will have to travel 9
miles to Hoguestown and return. This
consideration ought to address itself to.
business men of both parties before they
subject themselves to such a serious in
convenience. In Perry county this trou
ble is obviated by having an associate
judge residing in BloomQeld ; and in Ju
niata one of the associates resides near to
the county seat.
A word to the wise is sufficient.
