riiK.irrito.wjny a electiox
The political foulest in this State
this full will bo of an extraordinary
character. A huge effort is being
made by n combination of eucmici at
home and abroad to change, or in some
way subvert our system uf govern
ment, l'ronidcnt Giant and his cor-.
nipt backers, and every crowned head . ox-Admiral SeninieT" The flirinor
in Kuitipo have clasped hands on this slimed himself all over during the
subject,, and if the republic survives j Connecticut canvass, and tho latter
its ono hundredth year they will all has embraced the opportunity of spit
bo disappointed. Tho elections of tlnff out some of bis political venom
1875 aro the keys to this question. It
(unlit and his political parricides cur
ry thcin, a militavy dcsotism will be
substituted for our present form of
government, and 'liberty and personal
freedom for white, and black will bo ex
changed for mental slavery, und tho
FREKMEX of nil North America be
come us abjectly the slaves of tho nil
em as the people of Austria, or as tho
late nci;ro slaves were tho chattels of
their musters. We aro no alarm ist,-r-
Just look around and see what haa
happened at our Nutionul Capitol and
in sonio of tho southern States, recent
ly. This is not all. Questions of a
mora local character aro of equal im
portance : Tho election of a Govern
or and Slate Treasurer occurs in .No
vember j but ns these candidates aro
to bo selected from u largo number of
worthy and competent gentlemen by
tho State Convention, which assem
bles nt Kric in September, wo shall
pass tho subject by anil come homo to
our county affairs.
The new Constitution has wrought
a radical change in tho election of
County Treasurer, Commissioners uud
Auditors. Ueretoloro the Treasurer
was elected for two years, hereafter
he will be elected for three years.
Formerly we elected a Commissioner
and an Auditor every your, who held
his office for threo years; now wo
must elect the wholo three at once.
While thcro aro THREE each of
these latter oillcers to be elected in
November no doctor can vote for
more than TWO candidates, and tho
threo highest in votes shull bo declared
oloeted. This will result in giving the
Democrats two, Commissioners nnd
two Auditors, and the Republicans
one each. ,
Now, what is before aiia under this
new system? Unless some ot the pres
ent incumbents or thoir predecessors
arc elected this fall, ri first Monday of
Janutiry nest will demonstrate the fad
that seven men will enter the Court Ilmsc,
and take charge of the affairs and bunk
in the Treasurer's, Commissioners' and
Auditors' offices, who may never havebcen
inside of these, rooms, much less have
transacted any public business tJiercin.
This question should bo well consider
ed'. It is not a purly question and
will effect all alike. Take a business
view of it, render, and how does it strike
you 7
Is the change an improvement in
any senso, except in a partisan fea
ture? Wo think not. While tho
more purtisau has gained his ioint,
what business interest haa received
attention at the hands of those who
havo wrought tho change? What
business man who employs seven or
more men would make it a rule
to turn off all his hands every three
years and run the risk of getting oth
ers to tnko their places, who knew
nothing about his business?
Again : Our party fru'iid in cant
ing about for candidates for office,
should never inako up their minds to
supKrt any particular ono until they
are satisfied that tho man they arc
"going for" is the embodiment of three
essential characteristics: honesty, com
petency and porsonal popularity not
becnuso he is aclovor fellow, only. If
a candidnto possess those nocessary
qualifications there should bo no hesi
tation on tho part of tho individual to
support him. Wo have plenty of such
men In our party ranks, nnd it is folly
to jeopardizo our success by trying to
nominate any other.
A candidate lacking cither of these
characteristics is a burthen upon the
party instead of a support ; if unfortu
nately charged with lacking all, if nom
inated by accident, will suffer defeat
and dcmornli-o the party, for which ho
can nover fully atone, no difference
how acalou ho may bocomo. There
aro, of course, other qualifications
worthy of consideration such as par
ty servico and location but theso af
ter all aro rather nt a personal than a
party character, and need not be close
ly adhered to.
The voter who seeks the welfaro of
his country and tho success of his par
ty, will look around for a candidate
who possesses all tbo rcqiiisito qualifi
cations to success honest, competent,
popular nnd entitled to party support
for past services. There is no uso in
"gadding about" after men who lack
most of the qualities indicated, because
wo havo drones enough to carry and
support without brooding or manufac
turing them "according to order," and
thus supply tho enemy with ammuni
tion nt our expense. This in war
times would bo pronounced treason,
nnd it would bo politic to refrain from
an act of this kind oven in lime
of peace, when thcro is no enemy
about.
We havo thrown out these gonenil
hints for the general good, and in our
judgment, if followed up, by our party
friends can work no harm to any ono,
nnd if accepted and ailed upon will
go far toward defeating tho enemy in
his violent attacks upon our nominees
and avoid mucb of tbo bitterness and
personalities engendered daring tho
canvass.

is one of those mysteries for which
God Almighty will hold those who
could have brought hlmlo punishment,
resH)nslble.
Hut tlits is all wo have to take hack
concerning ltutler. He was nothing
but a hired spy, Just as we stated be
fore, and went about the country nab
bing poor fellow who failed to report
fhr drafted duly, and those who were
"suspected" of being "disloyal," re
ceiving in pay hi salary as provost
marshal and thirty dollars for each man
arrested. Wo still insist that Lans
borry gave him Just whaUiedcservod,
for none deserving of better treatment
would have engaged lu such intamoiis
business. Ho never was a "Colonel,"
that title being simply used to secure
a pension fhr ids wife. The extent of
his rnnk, if n-e aro rightly informed,
was a second lieutenancy, and the
amount of his sen-ice is embraced In
the fact that ho acted in that meanest
of all mean businesses spy and in
former upon his own neighbors and
drank up a lot ot bad whisky when
tho revenue win high. He was a good
lor nothing old stngo driver, and a first
class loafer around llrnokville for a
number of years. He was made a tax
collector oneo, and defaulted and stuck
his bail, and that's the kind of a hero
he was. ' His service is now magnified
by Radicals for political reasons.
While wo believe Duller got just
what ho deserved, wo havo no panic
ularsynipathy for Lanshcrry. lie was
one of a large class of loud-mouthed,
ranting loyalists, who believed tho war
was right, if other men would fight it
out. lie wits in favor ol its vigorous
prosecution, but afraid to help prose
cute It. Hecauso ho was too cowardly
to fight for a cause h believed right,
was no justification, however, for Pul
ler's course. .
In connection with this subject we
append the billowing dispatch received

Now, if the alsive fluttering remarks
had come from five decent men, there
would be something in them, porhas,
worth not icing ; bin let us for a niomont
examine the cliuretersof some of these
individual to see if it matter what
thoy say about a fclkiw. First npon
the list is Mr. David Eason :
This individual, as we aro reliably
informed, is a Government oflloer his
title being deputy collector of internal
revenue, or ruthor a spy to mako mon
eya legalised black-mailer in public
employ, an exhnrter in the church, who
holds an office and makes his money
watching and robbing the citizens oi
Jefferson and surrounding counties.
lie granted government license to
tho whisky sellers of Jefferson county
who were arraigned for Belling under
the local option act. A noon a ar
rested, these mon went to him and took
out a license, to avoid the United State
Court, whon he immediately informed
the committee, so as tn be a witness,
and get his fees, five dollars in each
case. Tbey all plead nuilty. but he
pocketed the fees, nevertheless. P,a-
son i a great Methodist, and bawl
louder than anybody else. He is sure
of Heaven, if the Devil don't get him
nrst
Dr. A. P. lleicbold la tho next dis
tinguished blackgnard on the list. He
is a government official also, being col
lector of cnstnms at "Sault d Mario,"
at eight dollar a day, and loaf in
DrooKvnie. J ins ominent Doctor once
helped to take the skin off a dead nig
ger, whose corpse he stole from the
grave-yanl and then tried to throw
the responsibility upon a neighbor into
whose Ice-house he stiu k tho skinned
body. Ho has been iruilty of dngens
of other equally dirty acts, bad we
room to enumerate them, lie appear
to be the head of Radicalism in Brook-
ville, and is a dcformed,.lirty, stinking:.
meddling whelp, whom no one respect
and wboso picture is used in his neigh
borhood to prove that depravity and
meanness can be stamped upon man's
plnsiognniny as well as upon his prin
ciple. Then comes old Barney Sweeney, a
sort of docuir without a diploma. He
is a man who puts on a great deal of
dignity, bat be can t deceive anybody
into believing that he knows anything
alswt medicine. He don't stand very
hiirh in Hrookville, and durinn tbo late
tire there he got into a little trouble
about a mattress and a couple of nil
low which he cabbaged. 11 ii house
wa not involved in the fire, being a
ooupio or square away, nut he drove a
wagon up and liiaded it, deliberately,
in daylight, saying tbo goods wore
placed in hi cam nnd must be identi
fied before he would give them np. He
finally gave the mattress to the wrong
person, and sleep serenely on the pil
low. A Cent county jury would
pronounce him a thief. Sweeny is a
candidate for associate judge in Jeffer
son county j a great temperance man
oh all occasions, bnt gels dmnk when
somolwxlv else liavs for tho whiskv.
Ho i generally known hy the name of
old "liiimpy," and ought to he in the
zoological tianlcn to show what the
race ol men wa before tho flood.
The other two signers of the dis
patch, J. 8. Itarr and S. J. Marlin, are
spoken ol as decent men, who say they
signed tho disimtch under the impres
sion that it was a mere statement that
Hutler was not tho murderer of Mrs.
Smith. This Is prnlsthly true, hut
horcaltcr they should be more careful
to bo fbttnd in resoctshle company.

way : Senator Morton is an eminent
statesman of the Itepuhlican party. Ho
lias lieen the aHstate ol repression

South that called itself a government.
Therefore, when lie pronounce New

A gentleman connected with, one of
the largust advertising agviwies in New
York mado this remark to mo a few
dayaagu; ' If this Centennial Exhi
bition was to be in New York, instead
of Philadelphia, our merchant and
manufacturers would havo oxpeuded
by this timo hall a million dollar in
advertising their busiuess, and the
benefit resulting to the Centennial
from ibat would have Iwen incalcula
ble." As he expected an excuse, prob
ably, I looked sheepishly at hiiu, and
like the mythical lad, rusuouded pet
tishly, "I couldn't help it! '
Let mo instance a single case of how
our young men are taught how not to
advurtisu,. I will tuke the firm ot
Hood, jtoubright & Co., who occupy aa
tlno a wholesale dry goods store as
there is in this city ; they do, whut we
here call an iunnense busmen, but
what a bouse in New York, with far
less pretentions lo first-clussism, would
look upou ns ridiculously insignificant.
They havo every facility for doing ten
millions of busiurss a year ; they prob
ably do about ono million ; they ex
pend in all probability less than S Jill)
a year in ndvorlisii,g, wbllo thoy, of
all others, ought to havo their adver
tisement in every first-class county
paper between here and Pittsburgh, in
one hundred of the host papers of Ohio,
Indiana, and other places iu tho South
and West, and their advertisement
should bo placed conspicuously in all
our Philadelphia papers, so as to greet
the eye of every traveller to New York
over the Pennsylvania, ami tho Phila
delphia and Haiti more Road. Sales
men in their stores imagine thoy do an
immense trade; they aro taught to
believe that advertising is useless,
bunco our young tradesmen early learn
provincialism, and .it never , leaves
them. , , . . i
Hut do not imagine that all are like
this firm. Our industrial esutblUh-
incuts are learning the bcucfit of ad
vertising, nnd they are growing rapidly
more and more liberal in this respect;
their workshops are being enlarged,
their bank account is swelhnir, their
capital increasing, and the wholo city
loels the effect of their enterprise.
. A SAD KHL -
Mr. George 1). Wctherill died on
Tuesday, aired 83 years. He wa one
of our best business men. For sixty
years he and his wile trod life' path
happily together; successful as a mer
chant, breviiw;! with wwtlth, nntl l,m.
ed hy their children, the rugged edge
of despairwas tiAhema thingunknown.
When the aged' partner ot Mr. Wcther
ill' lite' blessings wa told that his
spirit had gone to Rod who had gave
it, she lell in a swoon, wa carried to a
room adjoining that of her dead hu
band, where she lay in a comatose state
nntil the Friday following, when sensi
bility returned juntas the remains ol
Mr. Wctherill were being carried past
tho door. Sho aroso from the bed,
walked to the room door, looked at
tho casket which contained Mr. W.,
and then fell backwards upon the floor,
a broken-hearted corpse. They both
now rest beneath the same sod, in tho
quiet of tho dark, dark grave.
Scarcely less sad was the scene that
occurred on the some day in another
part of onr oily, wlvere the remains of
William Coogan, aged 72, and hi son,
John P. Coogan, 27 year of age, were
taken Irom the same house, placed side
by side in one hearse, and laid together
in tho samo chamber ot the dead.
During the samo week, Mr. James
l.'oleman, jr., a young married man,
living at 712 Siegel street, lost hi only
two children, by scarlet fever, a boy
and girl, four and six year of age.
The day following their bunal Mrs.
Coleman died from pnre grief at her
loss, and mother and children sleep
their last sleep aide by si'lis, leaving
the heart-stricken father to tread alone
to him lif' thorny path.
Bank aonngas.
Two of our city banks have suflVred
severe losses at tho bands ol sharpers.
Tho first wa at tho Farmer' and
Mechanics' Bank. whore a irontlomanlv
looking thief entered and Landed a 110
note to the paying teller, asking him
if it was good, and while tho teller was
holding it up to tt,c skylight to see if
daylight would penetrate the filthy
lucre, tho gentlemanly-looking lellow

to return for his greenback. Ho got
off with 3,000.
The second robbery look place the
loliowing day at tho .Manufacturers'
Bank, Third and Market street. Tbc
bank runner had been to tho V. S.
Assistant Treasurer' oftlro, and in re
turning, liavinir a box in each band
and a wallut containing 13,000 in cash,
and check for K!,00d mora, in the
breast poekct of hi coat, wa met at
the door of the bank aa bo waa about
to enter, and hi passaire blockaded bv
three or four mon, Vhv seemed auvious
to leave together, and in haste. Mr.
Scott was Jostled, and before he was
aware of the design of tlie party, the
wallet was stolen. Not being able to
use eilbor hand, yet fearing something
wa wrong, ho hurried to tho cashier
and handed tho boxes to bun, and thcu
discovering the disnjiiearanco of the
wallet, returned quickly to tho door,
but was unable to ace tlie thieves. ,
Evidently theso thieves havo gone
in search el' the gnntlemanly fellow,for
