year's voto in this borough is 18, and
in Lawrence township 22. But it will
ho observed thnt the Know Nothing
game was pretty well played off on our
nominco for Treasurer, Mr. Walters,
who should havo had 250 majority,
whilo hi opponent, Mr. McGaughcy,
has 67. And from tho returns of sev
eral other districts it looks as though
Mr. Waltors was defeated.

How Taos! Tho Cambria Freeman
remarks: "Jn Democratic time nearly
every man had enough money to carry
on his business. If moro money was
needed, it could be borrowed at from
ionr to six per cent, interest. Now,
nftor ubout fifteen years of Re
publican rule, you can hardly find a
man who has money enough to run
his business ; and if he is forced to bor
row, ho will have to pay Irom ten to
fiftoen per cent, inlorest, and is fortun
ate if ho can got it at that."
'(Iovmnmint" lloasg Talk. A
Washington special gives the following
account of how Zack Chandler came it
over the President for tho Secretary,
ship of the Interior. Back says that
on tho journey from Pittsburgh to
Washington the principal topic of con
versation between the President and
himself was horses. When he got tho
nolo from General Bnbcock, requesting
him to call at the White House, he
supposed the President wanted a little
more "homo talk, as they had been
interrupted in a very interesting part
of the previous conversation. It will
thus bo scon that Chandler's spirited
horse talk with "the Government'
hoisted him into the Cabinet
An Excellent Siiooihtioh. Tho
Commissioner of Pensions, who is fully
awaro that fraudulent ponsion claims
annually cost tho Government Treas
ury millions of dollars, calls upon Con
gress to pass a law authorizing the
publication of the names of the pen
sioners annually in each county, to
gether with the rules, so that tho tax
payors may know on whom tho Gov
ernment bestows its bounties. If the
eases are meritorious, all right ; if
fraudulent, let the guilty parties bo
fcrrotod out and punished, and tho
leak in tho Treasury stopped. There
Is no doubt but thnt scores of persons

A Band or Fools. This country is
pretty woll glutted with a herd of this
class of creatures. Thoy flourish in
both sections, North and South. In
the former locality, thoy aro representa
tive men leaders. In tho latter, they
aro not, They represent no one but
themselves, and cannot be controlled
by their frionds or neighbors. To be
moro definite, we will point out a few
disturbers of tho public peace in that
locality. In tho .South there are two
journalists who continuo to spit out
thoir venom at the North through the
columnsof the Momphis(Tcnn.)i477vil
and tho Augusta (Ga.) Constitutionalist.
The enterprising individuals who lead
oft in the samo direction aro Admiral
Semmes and General Preston. The
newspaper and tho gentlemen named
make up a very insignificant portion
of tho Southern people, and on the

1ela!o and Bbistow. Genoral
Boynton has a letter in the Cincinnati
Gazeftt exposing the "true inwardness"
of the Delano "resignation" of the In
terior portfolio. Alter giving a full
history of the case, including docu
mentary evidence, Mr. Boynton says:
"The weakness of the charge that
Secretary Bristow has been pursuing
Mr. Delano is sufficiently apparent in
the light of the above facts. M r. De
lano and all his following had long
boon busy in tuoir attempts to under
mine tho new Secretary with tho Presi
dent, before Genoral Bristow was aware
that bo had consented to fill a place
which Mr. Delano believed himself en
titled thrnuirb a promise of the Presi
dent When the move against the
wuisky thieves Degan, lien. JSnstow
encountered tho friends of Mr. Delano
working industriously at every turn to
thwart tuo enorta ot tbo treasury De
partment in the matter, and it will be
found hereafter that some of the chief
newspapers which bave defended Mr.
Dolano and assaulted Secretary Bris
tow have done both iu the immediate
interest of tho whitky and the Indian
rings. The frionds of Mr. Delano have
made his removal from the Cabinet a
triumph for General Bristow, through
thoir continual declarations that be was
trying to forco Mr. Delano Irom the
Cabinet but that tho latter would
'stick' while the former would himself
be obliged to resign."
A Bullion ist in Tni Pulpit. The
Rev. Dr. Barto, of West Church, Bos
ton, preached last Sunday upon the
sin of lying, and declared that David,
who said in his haste that all men are
liars, would say so at bis leasuro if he
lived now. In his "fourthly" he main
tained that truth is in the Interest of
the State, "The misrepresentations of
party, the means employod to enhance
political ends, the financial lie of the
United States in issuing its legal ten
der notes, were disastrous to the prop
erty ol a mate ana nation. A nation
munt be honest in order to prosper.
What has stared as in tho face for
years? Debt I debt of villairos, towns,
cities, States, and of the nation. Debt
everywhere. They must he paid or
wo will 'go to the wall.'" The speak
er hoped that tho national council
would prevail Against innaiion oi me
enrrenoy, and that our dollar, now
worth only about eighty cants, would
assume Its former standard.
Tbe moral of the learned divine's
discourse will hardly hold good. While
it ia undoubtedly true that truth is in
the interest of the State, It to equally
truo that lying ia in the interest of the
Radical party. It was by lying that
party obtained power, By lying it baa
auatained itself in power, and it hi to
he feared that by lying and corruption
it will perpetuate itself in power for
some time to come. Of (bis lying the
Boston pulpit has In the past, as In the
present, done its full share. Savannah

4.V EMPTY PROMISE.
ll this rumnniitioo act be found im
practicable wo cau repeal it, exclaim
tbo Republican orators from nearly
every stump in their frantic efforts to
silence tlio murmurs ol tlio people
against a measure which is alrowly
exerting its paralysing InAuenco on
all the industrial interests of tbo coun
try. "Wo can postpone resumption
tor lire or ten veal's, II noccsaury,
cries Mr. Mcpherson to bis anxious
audiences ot manufacturers, oil pro
ducers and unemployed workingmcn
in the western part ol tho State. Why,
then, did you pass it? Is it the part ol
statesmanship to pass a measure of
such vast iuiuortuuco without carefully
forecasting its consequences? Wore
there not warninir examples In the
history of other governments that at
tempted to resume sjioeiu payments
without providing the essential condi
tions of resumption ? Are the trade
and business ol the entire people to bo
niado the mere sport of a party whose
leaders are intent only on retaining
their hold of power and spoils ? 'J' bis
resumption law was tbo Parthian act
of a repudiated Republican majority
in the last Congress in the last hours
ot its existence. A Democratic junior
ity of nearly two-thirds waa already
electod. But rather than entrust the
now ly -chosen representatives of the
people witn tlio task ol legislating on
tbe important questions of ti nance and
currency, this crude resumption act
was precipitately passed. Its authors
have conteseed its weak partisan pur
pose. Now that it has begun to plague
its inventors not only but tbe entire
country, they come before tho peoplo
witu the pititui plea that they will re
peal it. Thoy aro ready to promise
anything from the stump in order to
wneouio out or tlieir votes tne indus
trial classes whom their financial poli
cy has so deeply injured.
nut the Kepuhhcan orators who
promise to repeal the resumption act
are not in a position to redeem thoir
pledge. Tho Republican majority, for
whom Mr. Clerk Mcrberson culled
the roll when his resumption was
passed, has vanished from Congress
never more to return. Ut its members
but a handful remains. But Mr. Me-
Pberson und the rest of the Republi
can leaders havo been so long used to
tho exercise of political power that it
is natural for them to forirot that the
situation has changed. By a political
revolution almost unprecedented in
tho history of the country, tho Demo
cratic party has beon placed in posses
sion ol tho Uouse of Representatives
oy a majority ot almost two-thirds,
and when Cougresa shall meet in a few
weeks hence, Mr. McPhersoirwill call
tho roll of a house very dilferent from
that with which he has been familiar.
It is for tho people to decide whether
this great and magnanimous revolution
shall be arrested.
In still another respect Mr. Mc-
Phorson is not able to keep tho pledge
be makes in behalf of the Republican
party. While tho Republican majority
in the House has disuppcarod, not ono
Ropublicon Senator who voted for
forced resumption has given an inti
mation (it his determination to voto tor
its repeal, tin the contrary, some of
them Insist that tho resumption act
must be sustained while tbe rest are
silent.
FIlEPERICh' HUDSON, THE
JOURNALIST.
The newspuH'r world of Xow York
specially. und ot thecountry Bonornllv,
are deeply pained by the knowledge
of the very sudden death of Frederick
Hudson, ho well known tor many years
as tho managing editor of the New
York Herald, during the life ol the
older Mr. Bcnnott.
Mr. Hudson was riding in his car
riage with a friend, Judge Koyes, on
Wednesday Inst (Oct. 27th), in Concord,
Mass., hia placo of resilience, when, on
crossing a railroad track, tho carriugo
was struck by a train. Both gentle
men were iniured. Mr. Hudson lktitllv.
and his death took placo on the follow
ing day. Mr. Hudson was emphatic
ally a newspaper man. He possessed
tbe genius for the profession. His
memory was prodigious, bis working
abilities vast, his method astonishing,
and with a tomperamcnt the most
philosophical under all circumstances,
it is not strange that he sustained a
very high reputation as a journalisit,
and a most responsible position as the
managing editor of the most enter
prising newspapers of the country, for
tbe long period of thirty yours.
Mr. Hudson s literary ability was
mainly devoted to his special work on
the lleraM, but, after leaving that pa
per, ho found time to write "The His
tory of Journalism," one of the boot
issues of its kind thnt ever left tho
fiross ; and ho also contributed miscol
aneous sketches of high merit to
Harper's and others magasines. In
hia intercourse with strangers, Mr.
Hudson mado a very favorablo and
marked impression. Ho was a man
of splendid personnel, dignified, ex-
irrniciy curvim as ui waste oi wortis, a
very Chesterfield in his stylo, with tho
slightest dash of hauteur, which was
not in tho least offensive. Asa practi
cal business man, a city cotompornry
thus speaks ot him :
"Frederick Hudson was ono of the
fathers of American journalism as seen
to-day of the journalism of the world,
in fact, for tho journalism of this coun
try in every feature savo ono, that of
pure criticism, leads that ot tho world ;
and this leadership was brought about
by Fredorick Hudson moro than by
any other man that can bo named,
with tho exception of two or three
journalists. Asa news editor, Hudson
bad no rival in tho Old W orld, and
but few rivals upon this Continent
His appreciation of what was nows
and was not news, bis rapid sifting and
weighing of tho one and the other,'
wore something marvellous in their
rapidity and accuracy. Poets are said
to bo 'born and not made,' and so of
tbe true editor. Hudson was a born
journalist, ono to whom no man and
no event however great, camo with
power sufficient to blind tho critic ; and
one, on the other hand, to whom the
smallest happenings affecting in any
way tbe happiness and well-being of
the race wore never aoemod too email
for a place in tho journalism of the day.
Added to the charms of high intellect
moreover, were the greater charms of
character, llo was a justminded
man, every way companionable and
loveable."
Mr. Hudson was fifty-six years of
age, and leaves a wife, and one son or
the age of seventeen. N. Y. Day Bonk.

Tho Garden wui thrown open to tho

an eagle's plnino ami by a star, which
is repeated on her haldrick at tho oint

in her left is a wreath formed by leaves
of the evorgreon oak, as an emblem of i
the Northern States and a blossom ofi
tho magnolia grantliAora, as that of

This was an action brough by tho

which were drawn by Goorgo J, Rich

ter part of the allldavit of diTenco is
had, lor it claim', as a sot off, that
which tlio act of Congress imprstcs as
a penult)' on tho usurious transaction,
Ui wil, double the amount nf the inter
ont paid. In this, defendants hud no
such interest as would enable them to
use it by way of defalcation, for it could
be acquired only through nn action ot
debt antler tbo statute, antl until the
forfeiture was pronounced iu thoir
favor, by judgment of the court, they
had nothing therein which would lie
tho subjoot of set-oft But, as we hold
that the drtendunt are entitled to do
talk tho amount of tho usurious dis
counts, which they paid tho pluintiirs
on previous transactions, wo are dis
posed to treat tho affidavit as Inulty
only in form, rather than in substance,
The money paid to tho plaintiff, over
and above that which the act of Con
gress authorised it to receive, belonged
Ui tho delenilnnts and tho bank could
hold it only for their use. This vory
point was raised antl decided in Thomas
vs. Shoemaker, 2 W. A 9. 170. That
case ruled that usurious interest paid
might lie recovered Back in an action
for money hail and received, and that
it was not questionable, but that such
interest secured on previous transac
tions, might bo defalked against tho
plaintill "s cluim in the suit then pend
ing. 'Ibis decision was mudo under
the act of 1H2'I. thon in force, by which,
whore moro than legal interest was
received, 'tlio money or other things
lent waa wholly loheited.
The reason lying at tho foundation
of this and all similar decisions is vary
obvious. Tbo receiving of such execs-
sive interest is treated by tbo supromo
power In the state as a puhlic evil, and,
as such, prohibited ; consequently, when
taken against the statutory prohibition,
it is acquired without right, and no
title thereto vests In the taker. In
such cuso lie is to be held as ono wrong
fully in jsnseiwion of his neighbors'
nroiiorfy. .
'litis reason applies fortiori to tho
enso in hand, for these national banks
aro tho mere creatures of tho act of
Congrens. Krom it they derived all
the powers they powwssj when, thero
lore, they act contrary to its express
provisions and mandates, thoy usurp
powers thnt tlo not belong to them,
and any such act ia clearly wrra vires
and void. In tho caso now in hnnd, if
tho affidavit of John Lucas bo truo,
this bank has taken from tbe defend
ants some 13000, which the act ot Con
gress has not only, in express terms,
dcclnrcd itsbould not take but imposed
a penalty upon it for taking.
Hy no right, thon, does the Haintm
hold this monov : it has no nronortv
therein, and its possession thereof is
but that of a trustee or bailee of the
defendants.
Anothor error into which tho court
full was in supposing that tha caso
camo within tho provisions nf onr a--t
of March 28. 1868, which provides that
where tho debt and excessive Interest
have been paid, no nction to recover
back such excess can bo maintained
but within six months after ouch pay
ment. Hut this rase docs not coma
nntler that act, but, as wo have soen,
untlor an act of Congress which oper-
ntes upon a atibjcct ol its own creation
and oror whiuh it has suprunw con
trol ; hence, our act cannot be made
to supplement the national statute with
a limitation not tound in it. As the
only limitation found in tlio act of
Congress applies alone to the action for
tlio penalty, it follows that the claim
of tho delendants rnn only bo barred
by a failure to sue for the samo within
tha poriod of six years aftor it accrued,

RADICAL POLICY RECiaAlUNC,
NORTHERN WORKMEN. I
Through tbo insane policy of the I
liadicul party in their dealing with '
the Southern States tens of thousands I
, , . ,
acres Ion, of cotton nnd tobacco are
planted and raised in that section to-
ditv than there wait in IXtiO.
And ns ,
cotton ami tobacco are our principal
exports, which being sold iu Kiimpcl
help to pay the interest on our national
debt in that quarter as well as if woj
had sent tho gold, it follows that every j
acre in the South ht to tillage through !
Itadical mi"govennnent places an ad- J
tlitional burden on Northern Internals
to raise the gold. Moreover, this bms i
in tlio culture of cotton nnd tobacco j
jtist gin's so titr to iniPOVcriib the

, men of Pennsylvania ponder over these
things. How mitny .of you to-day are

pursued by tho party in power who
have beggared the South, and in tloing
that destroyed interests which had
they been properly cared for and pro

and your wile and littlo ones with
daily bread.
The Radicals bave herotoforcclaimod
that tho prosperity of tho country
arose from the curroncy and that they
caused iL If propcrity docs not at
tend now, but adversity, by all fair
reasoning they are to blame. They
