niiiiislerinrr our ffovorimientnl nftttirs,
we have a rule Ivy which we may
nicasuiu our conduct thereof, and a
light by which we may search tiir the
truo path to national jriTtitness onl
prosperity.
A it viiiirinuiia debt luort iruj'cs all of oil r
industries mid enciinibersonr iiropertv.
TLi" fu'oplo nicc.liiiiiste,l,poor and do-
pn sseii ; oppressive taxation has eaten
out their stiostuiicif and they can no
longer hear the Weight that crushes
them. Our promises lo pay uru below
par mid hear n falsehood upon their
luce.
Ill such a condition of his alliiirs,
n hat would he the conduct of an hon
orable and prudent business man?
Uecognizin his obligation to pay
bin debts, however hu might mourn
the disaster that entailed them upon
him, he would take immediate sleps to
curtail his expenses, lo increase his re
source", and to improve his credit,
lie would pat forth all his energy in
the development ol his properly; lie
would, so far as was possible, relievo
his laborers from taxation, und encour
age their iiitluntry and ho would ex
ercise thrill uml frugality in every de
partment of his household and tunr
ncss, ninl limit as rapidly as possible,
nctpiiro the means to restore his shut
tcrcd credit and iliscufiiii. bor Itiscstutoi..
In placing hrs business mutters upon
such a buss, lie at once strenitliena his
crcdil, nutl if he ash his creditors for
inure time lo pay, they prompt ly nccedc.
His promises to pay pans current lit a
less ruto of depreciation, and ho can
conlrnct leans more cheaply tliiin hc-
lore.
llavo thosu who have governed us
pursued wit h a course in tho manage
ment of the fiiinncinl itlTairn of the-
republic? Tho wonderful recuperative
powers ol the people have, from IHliS
to 1875. been tnsked to tho utmost.
They have paid more tint it live hnn
divd millions of debt, twelve hundred
millions of intercut and more than two
thousand millions lor other purposes.
Are tho expenses included in this lust
amount commensiirnto witli a just and
priiiieiii nuniinistnitioii ol tlie govern
ment, or are they not extraordinary iu
chanif tor, extravagant in amount and
utterly unwarranted by the actual sit
iiulionof the people? We chuiifo that
littb thi erJonuoBS aggrcguto extrava
gance and unnecessary outlay have
eutcivd largely, and that these, added
lo Iho just mid unavoidable demands j
upon them, have well high bankrupted '
Hie people
In our business mallei's, when wo
find embarrassment resulting from
debt, nnd wo wish to place our uhairs
usin u firm fouling, wo look to tho
cause (hat produced tho debt, and cn
iluuvor to stop it, and thus relievo our
selves. Extravagance of all kinds, en
ters into nru! forms pnrt of our enor
mous outlay, and much of that extra
vagance still exists. Why not use the
necessary remedy and end it ?
Can there ho any excuse for tho ex
pcndiluro of Ihniy-two millions more
ibr civil service in 1H7.1 tbr.n was ex
pended in lHtitl? Can an Incrcnso iu
litis siiiglo item from forty -onn millions
to Bi Vtiity-thre millions bo explained
or defended ? Is there any excuse or
justification for an increase iu expendi
tures iu tho navy department from
,.,,, nl,lliuns in IHODlo nearly
-i.ti. i . Jw .
thirty -one millions In 1H74?
Il is true here, us it is of tbe indi
vidual, Hint those who are reared in
profligacy will never voluntarily prac
tice economy, and those who have con
ducted llio government in tlie midst ol
I : vim 1 1 evnelul it lien I'll n not ill liel'Vl-mi Id

practice fnignlily. Indeed II has passed
ono mi UAioiii luiik ntunv w liu en'riiu
such expenses iu governmental nfi'uirs,
can never reduce them tolhcirjust
stnndni'd ol economy."
liiatcud of redtuiiig our excuses,
Congress bus increased them. Instead
of practicing economy, reckless ex
penditure of iho public money hits been
the rule. -,-..
When, by mishap, tho honest busi
ness muu is plunged into debt, he
promptly goes to work to increase his
resources. If he bo n merchant, ho
gives unremitting uttenlion lo the col
led ion and securing ot his outstanding
debts, lo the profitable sale of hisslockT,
10 thucurefiil husbanding of oveiy dol
lar of hi assets. If he is a farmer, he
give Ins farm the closest enre, the soil
is strengthened, the fences repaired,
and every acre i made to yield its
largest crop. Jf ho Is n mechanic,
"curly iiHiru and dewy eve" find him
unniust and lie! i vo tt tho bench, tho
l mm. or the anvil, and thrill nutl fru
gality mark every step he lake. Their
reason teaches litem that in this way
alone can thoy hope to bo relieved from
the itionhu ot debt, and thoy bend
' every energy to Its accomplishment.
If this is tho conduct of sensible and
practical men in their ow n atrairs, why
should they not reqiiiro tho saino line
I ol anion in the Hairs of a government
ih willed they Intro so deep a stake?
When we employ an agent, we measiiro
(his sonduot tw onf liosinoss hy our
jlldglnetlt s to cmr personal illtcrostS

we should hold it to tho pursuit of a

courso that our judgment of our own
affair would )iirov - Are they la

CLEARFIELD,

and thin to restore our credit and pay
our tlebts? Let ua. oxnmina their

The point 1 seek to elucidate by
these figure, is. that when retrench
ment and economy provade every
household and are found in every busi
ness man's thoughts, tho administra
tions both State and National seem to
bo unable to retrench. Kxpenses are
greater now than they were in 18(36,
when we hud a redundant currency and
inflated prices.
Thoso in power ni) unable to re
trench if they would, for rctninors and
AtilMirdinatca are fastened like leeches
upon tho party in power and theso
control primaries, till couvonlinns and
make nominations. Theso men coerco
thoso they sustain to pursue tho same
unbroken lino of appropriations, iiu
trenchment and economy can only
rome with a chango of administration.
I hange is to the body politic what it is
to our physical condition, a fixed lawl
of our being. Tho hour for a chango
of rulers and of policy has conic, the
necessities ot our political ncing require
it, and tho people demand it.
Are wo engaged In tho development
of our resources ? lias tho administra
tion pursued tho path that a prudent
business man would follow in the ad
vancement of his own interests? Tho
policy pursued toword the people ol the
.South lias brought its natural truit in
jury toboth sections. Interference with
local government, attempts nt political
control, and tho arraying of ono part
of tho people against the other, havo
embarrassed production and fettered
labor. Wo of tho North feel its Recta
in the loss of a market for our surplus
products and in tho diminution of the
totals of tho great staples naturally
produced there, which in former years
aided so largely in paying our indebted
ness to foreign peoples. Stimulated by
tho enormous amounts of money ex
pended during tho war and tho hectic
period (lint followed it, our industries
grew with wonderful rapidity and it
seemed ns though prosperity was ever
to bj our lot. But tho penalty that
always come to tho natural person
from long continued exertion: from
severe stinins upon tlie mcntnl or pliysi-
cal faculties, was but postponed to the
body politic, and tho enormous strain
of nn expenditure of moro than six
thousand millions of dollars in ten
yours, tho terrible exertion that con
tinued us a united Republic nnd the
personal sacrifice that maintained nnd
enforced tbo faith of tho people, tho
unnecessary drain npon thu resources
of tho country, resulting from extrava
gant administration of your govern
ment, and tho almost criminal neglect
and refusal to foster labor, encourage
production and develop tho industries
ol'iu'ui ly one half of the country, havo
brought to us the penalties that equally
follow in tho physical constitution.
Whilst we of tho North wcro marching
forwurd, increasing in population, mul
tiplying production, and rioting in the
apparent strength that stimulants, hud
produced, thoy of tho South wcro de
creasing in number, dwindling in pro
duction, und depressed in gloom by
tho destruction of their industries and
by tho relusul topermit them to govern
themselves. One of the limbs of tho
body was pamlyrcd by tbe policy at
Washington. Its prostration and
weakness has added to tho exhausted
slate of tho whole, and cxtruvagunco
and a vicious financial system hns
brought you to your present deplora
blo situation. This policy anil this
maladministration has loaded you with
dobt, deprived you of your natural
market, and well-nigh bankrupted the
whole people.
In the South tho laws enacted by
Congress and tho policy of tho admin
istration havo restrained the process of
development. Over that entire region
there existed uncertainty in tenure ol
estulo, uncertainty of the right of the
laborer to reap whore ho had sowed, a
government of arbitrary power and
not of law, officers vested with the
right to interfere between capital and
labor, and between the laborer and his
employer, and from thoso cause the
vital spirit of industry was paralyxed.
Tho great mind of Webster never pro
duced a mora important thought than
hia declaration that ' it is change and
" apprehension of change that unnerves
"every working roan's arm in this scc
" tiou of country. Changes lilt and
" chango Icaroa are tbe bano of indns
" try and cniorpriso."
Tba immediate influence of instabili
ty and uncertainty ill tbo aeliou'of Iho
controlling power is to prevent men
Iron engaging in any new undertak
ing, te crush out their aelf-roliauco, and
to cause them to become, restless, im
provident and poor. Tho nation needed
in tho South an intelligent, self-reliant
and Industrious poople, boldly striking
tor their personal intermu. Wo could

not upon that ('ommittoe. It came
back to the Senate in thu form of
authority lo Ibc (iovernor, State Treas
urer ami Auditor fienerul, to borrow,
on tho fuith ot the Slate, twenty-three
millions of dollars, bearing interest nl
a i nto Hof rxtwilinii six per cent., and it

i Tho inference from theso three sec-
lions of tho hill is conclusive thai (he
loan was to bo mudc nt tho latter rale.
! If il could pel be so made, the respmisi-
unity ol niiiknir; it at a higher rate
must bo taken by the Stato Treasurer
and thoso who noted with liim. When
the bill cumo before the Senate ill tho
form in which it did, under tho auspi-
ecu ot 1 ho Ntntu minimis riillon with
tho plausible argument thnt tho loans
wore overduo and Iho crcdil of the
Slale was about to suffer, no organised
optKisition to tho hill was made. Tho
bill was not discussed in tbe Senate
no one spoke uguinst it, und IhoChnir
mnii of llio Finance I 'ommittee simply
quoted from Iho comintiniention of tho

yens and nays were not called. I did
not vote for thebill. When 1 found in
it the two sections that gnve discre-
tionary power and seemed to fix tho
j,jt at fiv0 per cent., and especially
w,Pn l0 nl.M exempted them from
taxation. I supposed wo could sntely
trust the officials named to'protoct tho
Stale. No worj ns to nn incrcaso of
the rate is found iu the cnnimunicat ion
of the Slalo Treasurer sent in on the
subject. If it wore to l o incrensed,
why not soy so?
It is said that (he bill was submitted

it to bo tbo fuel ns it is so slated, al
though 1 have no recollection of it, but
1 could only have been asked lo puss
upon form and my reasons for passing
it nre ns cogent now as they were then.
Tho bill has nnswered the purpose of
its origitiut or. Hut Mr. Rumble does
not reach tho real issues. The- arc:
First, where aro the figures tliul show
what tho syndicate made, who nego
tiated this loan ? Second, has not the
Stato been made to pay more than two
million of dollars unnecessarily by tho
action of a Ifepublican administra
tion which Increased tho rate of inter
est, and Third, How much is the
treunury ot the Stato justly entitled to
out of Iho prollts made, in bundling this
chango of loan with an average month,

und a half of money, in the hands of
the Treasurer?
A London correspondent gives some
amusing gossip about a lady, Mrs. I licks,
whoso wealth nnd beauty wcro the
subject ot much talk in Washington
not long ago. She lias succeeded in
creating a vendible sensation, nnd in
being billowed, flatteivd and sued to un
astonishing extent. It hns been accom
plished in tliis way. Arriving in Lou

tho best rooms at tho Clnrridgo Hotel,
tho aristocratic resort of the groat city.
Soon tho government notified the land
lord that theso sumo npurtmonts hud
been selected for the (jueun. He noti
fied the fair American thnt she must
give them up. She refused. Honifuce
was in tho most tcrriblo taking, and
finally appealed lo tho government.
Mrs. links appealed to tho American
minister, who, the correspondent as
serts, is licr relative. It bccuino a di
plomatic question, and all or much enr
:esMindcnco anil red tape of course it
was arranged that Her Majesty of the
Netherlands should occupy tho rooms
of tho guest nf the obslinuto lady. Tbe
tneeii was delighted witli her hostess.
Tho littler received with her guest and
was feted, dined and wined to her
heart's content. Yet alter all docs this

Orringto cerium frauds connected
with tho Lehigh County Hank, a "wild
cat" institution established by .Moses
Y. llcaeh, of Now York, in 1H44,
charges were preferred against it bo
fore tho legislating of 18411 by a limn
bor of tho leading citizens ol Lehigh
county, with a request for tbo repeul
of its charter. Tho subjoct was reler-
red to the committee on bunks, of
which Victor E. Piolott, now Demo
cratic candidate for State J rousuror,
was a member, and that committee,
after a thorough examination into the
banks condition and management,
found it so entirely rotten and honey
combed with fraud that on March 11,
1840, they reported a bill to repeal tbo
act chartering it.
During this investigation, and about
a month before tho final report of tho
committee, Hench, who was then pub
lisher of the New York .SVn and other
newspapers, aggregating a weekly
issue nf 300.1)1)0, proprietor of several
rotten banking inslitiona and a man of
irrcat noliticul influence throughout
tbo country, sent his agent and one of
his business partners, Daniel Mcl'ook,
father of tbo sinco famous 'fighting To-day, at noon, this sword was re

seven members of tbo committee will
ing to ao so and, In order to receive
the co-operation of t'je netvssnry ma
jority, concluded to prevail upon Mr.
riolcll to agree and report favorable
to the bank. Knowing Mr. l'iolelt to
no opposed lo any Mich report, JlcCook
first sought to procure his vote through
Iho influence of bis personal and politi
cal friend, Hon. John Lamnie, ollbring
to bribe the hitter hy making his son
a present ol It.ioil, nn condition that
the father should liifluenco Piolctl to

uiy to too Danit. Being repelled ny
Judge Lnporte, nn attempt w us made
lo induce Clerk of tho Senate (iood
ricli, a citir.cn of tho same county ns
1 lolelt, tor the consideration of $100,
to influence tho laltor's vote. Jtotli
theso plans proving unsuccessful, Me
Cook determined to approach l'iolelt
iu person. At first ho undertook to
porsundo the latter by tho argument
that thoso favorahlo to tho bank were
men of his own party, of vast Klitioal
influence, and whose favor it was valua
ble for him to secure. A few days later
Mot;ook Inlnrmed l'iolelt thnt ho hnd
written to tho hitter's father to come
on to Hnrrishnrg to nsu his influence
in behalf of tbe bank, and hnd prom
ised him H,(IH0 to do so. Knowing his
father to be nn old man of 72, and no
lobbyist by profession, Mr. Piolett was
surprised and indignant at tlnsinforina
tion and gave McCook to understand
thnt hi schemes were useless. But
tbe briber wns so imnortunalo and
rock loss that ho finally offered l'iolelt
directly 5o0 aa a bribo and left him
to consider it. Mr. Piolett at oneo
consulted his friends, Judgo Lnporte,
at thnt timo Surveyor tienernl, Hon.
Jesso Miller, Secretary of tho Com
moiiwenlth, and Jcrcmiuh M. llurrell,
Esq., a highly respected member of the
legislature, and advised with them as
to the best courso to pursuo iu order
to fully cxoso tbo nefarious attempt
to corrupt a legislator. Though his
natural impulses led him to repel the
scoundrel at first blush, his better
judgment suggested a more effective
way of exposing him, and upon tlie
advice of friend, who urged upon him
the beneficial effects that would result
from such an exHwuro by permitting
it to bo consummated by the payment
of tho money, ho resolved to accept il
and then thoroughly cxposo thecrime.
Accordingly next morning he received
from McCook t400 (the other $100 to
be paid afterward ), which ho requested
him to place iu his bureau drawer and
to leavo the room. As soon as McCook
was gone, Piolett sent for his confi
dants, who ho found had gone to the
cnpitol. Ho then summoned his land
lord, Mr. Hiiehlcr, hnd him count the
money and seul it in an envelope, in
forming him that ho proposed to carry j
it Into the House and make a statu-1
ment in regard to it. Ktiohlcr did so!
and tho money thcrcloro never touched
Piolett's bunds. Ho nt once proceeded
to the House, mudo a statement of the
foregoing fuels nnd laid tho money on
ine speakers table. A committee ot
investigation was appointed, who took
the sworn testimony ol 1'iolett, l.a-
pooto, llurrell, (ioodrich and others,
which is heloru us now and which cm
Ixslies tho foregoing facts. Mr. Mc
Cook, though dolended by Hon. Tlmd
deus Stevens, mado no attempt to im
peach theso witnesses and accordingly
the committee reported tho fuels as
herein given, and a resolution, which
was adopted, directing tho Attorney
General, or his deputy in Dauphin
county, to arrest .McCook and bring
him to trial lor attempting to hnho a
member of the legislature. And wo
believe thnt McCook was tried, found
guilty nnd sent to jnil. Hy resolution
of the Houso the money was directed
to lie deposited in tho Hnrrishnrg bunk,
subject to tho order of tho Court of
tjuartor Sessions of Dauphin county.
In both the minority and mummy
reports of the committee, it is agreed
that a bold attempt at corruption had
been made. Mr. Piolett's coin-so is
highly commended as including noth
ing "calculated to throw the least sus
picion upon him a a man" or repre
sentative, "nnd tho committeo concur
in this opinion that tho exposure and
prompt punishment of this high-handed
outrago will tend to preservo, unim
paired, tho oontideiico ot tlie people in
the purity of legislative action.''
1 1 is sale to say that there wero tin
furthor attempts at bribery that ses
sion, and no ono has been found since
lisilhardy onviigh to undertake to cor
rupt Victor E, l'iolelt.
Vt o have reproduced this stirring iu-
cident of thirty years ago with a
double purpose, first, it illustrates
the spirit of sturdy honesty which pre
vailed at Harrisburg a quarter of a
century ago, when a briber could bo
thu summarily exixrseil and punished.
Second, it throws light upon tlie
courageous spirit and unfulteriiig hon
osly of a man who is now presented
lor the suffrage ol llio people of tho
Stato, and who is named for un office

A HELL.
TIIK DRIFT Ohiim TIDE.
The. drill of the political tide is un
mistakable. Every election that bus
occurred this year hns shown this in
the plainest manner. Tho indications
in Pennsylvania nnd Ohio point out
their obedience to tho general law of
tho hour. It is now as it was in 1810,
a sweeping ro-oction heforo which tho
strong efforts of men and parties will
avail gpthing. What doctrine are
enunciated, or what candidates nro
named in political convention matters
very litllo if "a decent respect for the
opinion of mankind'' bo preserved.
Tho all prevnding overwhelming de
mand of the present hour is change.
Chango is a used law of tbe human
body, nnd it is an equally fixed law of
tbo body politic. In systems like ours
tho people liocome tho great agencies
to bring about result that make for
their own good, and these results come
as the tornado far reaching and resist
less. They do not rost upon lorric or
purification and restoration. The cy.
tlono Hint grows from this diro need
is upon us. Its results nro perceivable
in California nnd in Maine. Its dis
tant niiilteiings aro discernnhle in
Ohio, nnd it will soon sweep out of
existence those who stand in ils path
in the groat States so soon to voto.
The body politic needs a change,
and it Is coming. llriifnrd Ua;1te.

the Philadelphia Timet hits a govern

"Tho Washington liqiubliain insists
that this journal 'is in duty bound to
bring proof of its charge Hint President
(..rant has illegally interfered with any
Southern State government.' Tho AV.
puliliean should bo considerate. Tlie
dog star reigns, and tho 77mm don't
get ninety thousand dollar advertise
ments by direct order of the President
to cloud the judgment, nor has it an

that thero was a flood, or thot tieorrro
Washington lived, ot that President
Urant is occasionally at tbe Wbito

to ask such silly conundrums, but

Mr. Blaine and Mr. Morton shook it in
the faces of tbe voters of Maine, and
tho Democrats polled 13,000 moro
vole. It scares tho wrong way.
The bull runs away from that rod rag.
Tlie public sentiment lavors reconcilia
tion, and public interests demand it.
Heconstriiclion is a settled fact, nnd to
re-open the questions now happily
closed would lie fatal to the party thnt
should attempt it. Tbo country is in
terested in questions of reform and
finance and administration, of public
improvement and tho development of
the resources of the nation, and will
