Tho undersigned pi-oscnt to tlieir

Common wealth thiaslntotnentof fitcU
in relation to tho l'liiladelphia Hois
try In iv, in tho hupo mid with thu be
lief thnt it will nroutto alien tion to the
palpable violation of tho riht of a
lurice mi tuber of our fellow citizen to
a ruieo in the selection of their eleo-
tion officers; to the opportunities for
fraud, corruption and forged returns
ilullitt-dn; to the incitement to vio
lence and bloodshed it contains; and
to the dcKperule chuructcr ot tho men
who perpeluuto their o'vn power by
these menus despite the wishes and
the ballots of a mnjority of tho pooplo
of thut city.
1 he Act ot AKscmuly known as the
Keirislry law was pasHi'd on tho 1'Jlh
day of April, 18(i9. Tho provisions
tlieroof tifiplicalila to thu rural districts
aro cssenliully diirerent from Ihnao ap
plicable to tho city of Philadelphia
An entirely dillerent system whs fro
nted therefor. Under tho latter, the
Hoard of Aldermen or Justices of tho
Peace for that city were vested with
power to select three canvusHcrs for
each election district therein, whose
duly was to niuke out the lists of
voters, and who haa power conlerrou
upon them to strike from said lists or
add thereto ut their pleasure, und such
uclion was to be final, and could not
bo appcured from. Tho Board of Al
dermen also appoints the officers to
hold tho elections in each election
division, and by tho law they were
directed to appoint tho JuJe.one In
spector and one Return Inspector from
tho political pnrly which polled tho
mnjority of legal voles in tho election
division ut the next preceding noneral
election, and ono Inspector und one
Return Inspector from tho political
purty which polled the next biliost
number ul such election.
It will bo seen thut this law for
Philadelphia took from thu people of
each election division therein tho rini
to select their own election officers,
and vested it in a tribunal whoso
duties, under tho Constitution und
laws, hnve no relation to thnt subject.
Under the Reiristry law for tho rurul
districts the Assessors elected hy the
nennlo make out the canvass lists anu
complete tho registry, und tho people
themselves choose their election of
ficer in each election district. Tbe
law for Philadelphia is, thoreforo,
directly in conflict upon these two tin
mirtant points, with tho law for the
other imrts of the Slule. It is, in
this, destructive ol a vital principio 01
local fclf gnvernmonl, und tramples
on a right which bus como to be re
cognized as a fundamental American
principle. Why were these great
powers taken from tlio Jif-oji'a of each
division and vented in tho Hoard of
Aldermen f The nnswer is found in
the fad that that Board wns partisan
in its character, and could bo depended
upon to excrciso its authority In the
interests of a corrupt cliipio.
I he minority ul the Hoard ol Alder
men constitute tho Board und that
majority has power to uppoint all of
the election olticcrs, us well those to
which the minority uro entitled as
tboso of tho majority, set at tho or
ganization of that Board in 1801), its
members by solotnn resolution nl tho
suggestion of tho Court, gavo to the
minority ol too uonru mo rignv io
chooso tho minority of tho election
olllecrs. In this they ucted justly,
und tacitly admitted the Injustice ol
this grossly partisan luw. This act
of fairness lias been rescinded by tfie
action of tho Board, and tho Republi
can majority now appoint n majori
ty of the canvassers, tnu itcpuoiiesn
election officers und tho iHmtocralic
election nfhYors. Under the dictation
of corrupt and desperate mon, tins
power hits grown to bo a most fruitful
sou no Ol imparity in me eiectiotm 01
Philailelphia. Won are anpoinieo as
canvassers who know no law and re
cognizo no system of morals, but tho
success of their parly and tho attain
ment of their own sulliih ends and
hoso of their desicning lenders
Tbcv without hesitation strike from
the registry list the names of vo'ors
who are duly qualified, and add mere
to the nitn-.es of those who bavo no
shadow of right to vote.

inftimout wrongt. One member ol tno

CLEARFIELD, PA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14, 1871.
was a man who had boon appointed
and bad acted as a "Democratic" eloo
tion o Ulcer at the lust election 1 1 By
tho selection of shrewd und unscrupu
lous mon upon one side and of incompe
tent orcorruptiblo mon upon tho other,
the door to fraud and wrong is widely
opened, and the purity of tho ballot is
utterly destroyed. Such - has now
como to be tho ouso in tho City of
Philadelphia and tho voice of her peo
ple is stifled by tho wilos and machin
ation) of lawless mon acting under
the forms of an unjust statute. Can
vass lists are "doctored ;" bullot-boxet
are stuffed; returns are altered, forged
and manipulated, und fraud, and vio
lence in their worst forms are resorted
to in order to muinluin the poliuual
supremacy of desperate and evil men.
Ike true remedy for these wrongs
Consists in rosloring to the penplo the
ngubs mKcn iroui mem aim in musing
the general law applicable to tho City
of Philadelphia. We wore powerless
lo effect this in the present condition
of tho Legislature, and we have sought
so lo amend thu law as in some de
gree to lessen tho evils now to glaring.
1 ho meusurcs we have aguin and
again during this session propoaod to
the Republicans for enactment and
which have bcon invariably rejected
by them, are threo in number.
Firtt. Thut tho minority of the
Bourd of Aldormen shall have the
right to select I lie) r due proportion ol
the election officers for each election
division.
Second. That ihejudges of tho Court
of Common Picas shall have tho right
lo supervise tho uclion of tlio cunvus
surs in making up the registry list,
and to restoro the niiino of any legul
voter improperly led off, and lo strike
off tho nume of any improperly placed
thereon.
Third, That tho Board of return
judges shull meet to count the returns
of election in tho 'preseiico of the
aforesaid judges who shall have power
summarily to prevent fraudulent re
turns from being counted and to do
tcrmine any question nrising therein.
llicso provisions aro so eminently
just and proper that the newspaper
press of i lulttdelphia, without (lis
tinclion of party, has approved them,
and wo append extracts therefrom
showing this fact. Lending members
of tho Republican party in thu House
of Representatives have unqualifiedly
endorsed them, but have been com
pelled by a party caucus to vote
against vhem and prevent their enact
ment. .Senator Billiiigfell, in his
place in the Senate, acted und voted
wilh us in attempting to bring about
theso necessary enactments.
Tbe Press, of Philadelphia, In an
article upon the proposed amendment
of the Registry law. April H,HT,
said :
"To the proposition to hnve the re
turn judges meet in the presenco of
tho judges ol tho court ol common
Pleas, we have no objection savo that
tho provisions of tho law us regards
their meetings is perfectly satisfactory
us it stands."
Tho Philadelphia Evening Bulletin,
April 27, 171, says:
"Tho other amendment requires
that the vote shull bo counted in tho
presence of the Court of Common
Plens.
"Now thero is no good objection to
this last amendment."
Tho Philadelphia Post of January
2(1, 1871, said: "Any ono who will
succeed in devising a plan by which
tho usual scenes of violence and dis
order which bavo attended those meet
ings for some years pnsl will bo pre
cluded, will do Philadelphia nn incal
culable service, und deserve the gruti
ludo of tho peoplo. Tho annual meet
ings of tho return judges have become
to be regarded with us much appre
hension by penceuhly disposed peoplo
as would bo a pitched battle. They
bavo been arenas of carnago, rather
ihun nn assemblage of i'.'.ilicial char
S'.'tC'.', and rioting and falal casualties
luivo been the natural concomitants
Thcso may not bo incidental to the
system, but the fact remains that they
seem to bo a part of it, and public
morality and puhlio security demand
a radical change. '
Tho Philadelphia hvrmnq Jlullelin
of May 11, 1871, said : "The amend
menu to llio Itegisiry law uro tew,
simple, and, so far as we can sco en
tirely fair, lliey aro precisely, wnat
the Republican parly would demand
if thero was a Kenioi ratio majority
in our Board of Aldermen. TJiero enn
bo no better test than this. They
provido thsl the minority fhall elect
1 . . i r . i i...., ,.itt,....-.
llieir projioi tion ui umi-iaui'in'ii'vur,
with a roservod powor to strike oft"
tho name of had men when they are
presented. And Ihcy also provide
thnt tho vote shall bu counted in tho
nroaunce of the Court of common
Pleas. What the arguments aro Unit
forbid the acceptance of theso amend
nients wo do not know, and wo have
such faith in tho essential political
virltio of the mass of tho voters ol
Philndulphia that wo bcliovo thai tbcy
would be cheerfully accepted by Re
publicans as well as Democrats."
The Philadelphia Inquirer of Muy
5, 1871, said: "We bcliovo these
amendments to the Registry law are
nccossary, beennso wo bcliovo thnt
under our form of government the
minority bavo equul rights with Ihe
majority. Certainly, it is not honest
for the Republicans to appoint lieptih
lictins or hike warm Democrats to rep
resent Ihe Democrats as election olll
ecrs. Again, Mvhen it is remembered
how, four years past, each meeting of
tho Return Judges has ticon llio oc
casion of fraud, riot or murder, no one
who tlesires an honest election, or o
peaceful rot urn of votes, or who de
tests riot or murder can object lo ihe
Return Judges decorously meeting in
tho court room subject to tho wisdom,
dignity and intcirrity of the Judges
of the Common l'lens.
"It is sheer folly or patent mendacity
to allege Ihal either of these amend
moots nro cspnhlp of assisting frauds
upon the ballot-box. Clearly, they
are meant lo prevent fraud and to
make elections what every lover of
his country desires what they iball ho
fair and honest, ll Ihoy havo any
other intent it cannot bo found in the
iungunge in which they are framed;
NOT MEN.
and for ourselves wo aro satisfied to
grant to llio Democracy all that
tbe amendments above suggested de
mand." 1 -
- The Public Ledger of May 25, 1871,
said : "Thero is no fair man of any
party in l'liiladelphia, opposed to sueb
amendments to our Registry luw, as
'ill make it conform of the principles
of the general election laws of tho
State, and mako it just rind equul in
its operation. Of tho four principal
points in tho bill passed by the Senato
on the last named subject, ut least two
have been shown to be indispensable
in the hearing of election cuses before
tlio Court of Common Pleas. The
forging -of election roturns hns not
Unly como to bu a system, but the
counting ol these lulsu returns by the
Return Judges, with full knowledge
thut Ihoy are fraudulent, has grown
to bo tho practice. Appeals to the
Court of Common Pleas have thus
fur failed to provido a remedy or ro
dress for this groat und dangerous
wrong grcnt because it disfranchises
thousands upon thousands of voters,

been counted in by tho Return Judges,
which tho Judges of the Common
Pleas havo pronounced palpable for
ueries before they were counted, ac
companying their dennunuiulions with
the statement thut they ought not to
bo counted. So manilcstly fair and
essential is this amendment, that not
ono journul of any parly in Philadel
phia hns opjioscd it. On tho contrary,
il bus been favored by nearly all of
them, Republican, Democratic und
Independent. Indeed thero bus been
no opposition to il from nny quarter,
except that which hits been stimulated
by cundidulos for olllco, who know
themselves to be objectionable und
unpopular, and whoso only hopo is
that which is baaod upon false returns.

Upon the question to indefinitely
poslpono thu-.Sen.ito amendments by
tho House, (which amendments were
the three propositions specified,) on
Muy 19, 17I,
Mr. Elliott said: I desire, to state
that I voto upon this question in tic
cordunco with tho views of my politi
cal nssoeiutos. I therefore voto"uyo "
Mr. Mann laid : Upon this question
I voto in accordance wilh tho judg

against my own. 1 therefore voto
"uyo."
Mr. Miller, of Philadelphia. In ac
cordance wilh tho instructions of tho
Republican caucus und against my
own convictions of right I vole "aye."
Theso amendments were indefinitely
positioned by a strict party vote 47
to 41 except thut William F, Smith,
of Philadelphia voted with tho Demo
crats. Wo have labored during this
entire session to bring ubout this much
needed roform, becuuso wo havo felt
thut it would measurably restore the
purity of tho Jjullot box in Philudel
phiu; that it would aid in proretiting
falo personations and frauds upon Ihe
registry; thnt it would prevent tho
fraudulent counting und lalso returns
of votes, and that tho restraining
power of a judicial tribunal would
prevent the recurrence of Bccnes of
riot, bloodshed und murder hereto
fore occuring ut tho meeting of tho
board of return indues. Vo havo
failed in the attainment of thcso just
onds, and tre noio deliberately charge
that the Hi-publican organization, in
obedience to a p irty caucus, controlled
ky a "ring" of Philadelphia politicians,
has prevented these necessary rejorms,
and thus aided in perpetuating fraud,
fates counting, firgery of election rc-
tums,and not, mooamiea ami muracr.
Tho responsibility is upon litem,
