A lRAK. How hard it is lor an
cx-cditor to get rid of tho ire in his
communications. Now, il wo wore tho
author of "Junius No. 2," wo would
drop the plural and adopt tho "I," so
as to kocp down suspicion.
Tho colobratod boom bill has benomo
a law without the signature of Gov
ernor llartranlt, who, it appears, lack
ed the moral courugo to either sign or
veto this bill. This is not creditable
for a man who aspires to the Presi
dency. A squad of elite political tramps of
tho Junior Molly JIcGuiro stnpo, whol
ly out of business, have started out to
reform the political affairs of this coun
ty. Thoro is not a John Bunyan or a
Whitfield among them. So look out
for them!'
"Out Wgsr." The cream of .Radi
calism is now in solemn conclave at
Cincinnati, striving to put honest men
in tho Hold for President and Vice
President As thcro are none of that
class (except Bristow) in the field, a
mau of tho other class will be nom
inated. A poet in alluding to James' vindi
cation, says :
How dotb tho crafty Jimmy B,
Improve thil nnxloui hour?
A hulling all around tho point,
With groat "magnetic" power.
Will ik 111 ho buildl hii little U;
With ooro conceal! nil traokl,
And lay! up hoed. Iho lireLng day,
And bidei tho button fax.
Look Out for Them ! Sovoral po
litical vagrants are tramping ovor the
county trying to organio Molly Mo
Guiro, Jr., Lodges, and represent them
selves as PomocratA. We say to all
Democrats, keep an eye on thcjo chaps.
They aro about as near being Demo
crats, as "Old .Nick", is to being an
angel.
Tut Nnw Judo E. Tho Presidcnton
Wednesday morning, signed tho bill
, for tho retirement of Judgo AleCunil-
toss, ot tho Western District Court of
Pennsylvania, anil nominated as his
miccosor Winlhrop W. Kotchuin, of
Luzerne. Mr. Kctchnm has boon- af
ter tho Governorship for ten years
past, hut has concluded to roost a lit
tle lower on a life berth.
It seems that every gathering of
twenty or more porsons, in this pro
gressive ago, is lorinod a Congress. A
Brewors' Congress mot in Philadel
phia ou tho 8th, and a prison relorm
Congress mot In New York on the
fllli. The '78 IcadorB should convene
a Congress too, so tho eminent Speak
ers of this borough could spread them
selves on bankruptcy, finance, etc.
.Sound to the Cork. Jesse M. liar-
ter and Alexander Y. Barclay, aro tho
Democratic nominees lor Assembly,
over in Indiana. It will probably be
impossiblo to elect those two gentle
men, from tho fact that Indiana gives
2,000 Radical majority.- But tho pco
plo may reconsider their fully in the
past, and send true and upright men
to Uurrisburg Id represent them in
. the future.
It was announced a week ago that
tho editor of tho Timet "would do tho
Centennial" this wock, but he camo to
conclusion on his way thither, that ho
would stop off at this place until after
the hot weather. 11 o has abused
many of the citizens of this place, yot
he proposes to tarry with us for the
next throe months, and may think
more of those ho has abused alter he
becomes personally acquainted with
them.
A WoNDERfi't, Ekkort. Tho editor
ot tho Philadelphia VuMhoBundorlak
en the lingo job to make his readers
believo that James G. Blaino, who
wants to bo President, ia no less a por
Bonago than was Honry Clay fifty-two
years ago. Had the said Blaine not
dealt in Credit Mobilicr or Little Rock
stocks whilo Speaker, the analogy
would bceomplotc. On tho other hand,
tho great Kontlickian fuiled to reach
tho Presidency because of somo olhor
jobbery, and Blaino will imitate him
just that far.
Mot'EL Reformers. Faust, Jackson
and Korr havo been employed by tho
'7fiors to do tho stumping and reform
ing tins lull, won, if they cannot
mnnago olhor people's businoss bettor
than they have managed their own,
(ho reform movement will soon run
into the ground., Ambition, without
brains, liko prido and poverty, don't
work well together. As political re
form leaders, this trio is at a heavy dis
ci Mint, becaiiHO they are nephews ol
Moiy MoGuiro, and propose, through
a soct'ot oath bound organisation, to
manipulate U political affaire of tho
rxuty, lo." which especial work they
esteem tliom.flvee so peculiarly quali
fied. .
II Eli OLD THE CONTRAST!
Tho New York S draws a very
ant parallel betwoon llluinoand Hew It
er. It says: .Brother Blaine's per
tormunc o in tho Uoiibu of Representa
tives on Monday ullornoon strikingly
resemble that of Brother Boeehor in
tho Advisory Council ot lost February.
Tho membor from Augusta, liko tho
Plymouth pastor, had written letters
criminating himself, and like him, too,
he hail sought to prevent thoir publi
cation by means which only rendered
their contents more damaging. Both
the guilty men had thus themsolvos
furnished the ovidutieo for their con
viction. Finally, jiorcoiving tho mis-
tako ho bad mado, Beocher summoned
a gathering of his Irionds, and in their
presence challenge men, angels, and
oven God himself to provo him guilty.
In tho bohio wit', lllaino, repenting uf
his attempt to suppress his letters,
packed tho gallories of tho House of
Representatives with bis partisans, and
proceeded in the most dramatic man
nor to dely tho accumulated testimony
against him. Beochor snocoedod in
winning tho temporary applauso he
sought for, and so did Blaino; but as
tho sober reflection of tho public con
demns Beocher, so it condemns Blaino.
Moroovor, just as Bocchor turned upon
his accusers and chnrgod them with
perjury and conspiracy, so docs Blaine
charge tho Democratic members of
the investigating committoo with turn
poring with witnesses and suppressing
testimony. It only remains now lor
tho Republican party to stick to Blaine
as Plymouth Church sticks to Boecher,
and tho parallel will bo complete.
THE KNEM Y AT WORK.
It looks to us as though tho enemies
of liborty woro detorminod to inaugu
rate "a religious war," so as to accom
plish thoir end. They failed to bring
about n dissolution of tho Union on a
square issue of Nativo Americanism in
1854-fi, anil the Slavory question in
18C0-4. Tho riding of theso two hob-
bios having proven unsuccessful, the
next attempt tit disunion will bo a re
ligious effort between Protestantism
and Catholicism, and tho real leaders
in this wnr will dejiort tliemselvos just
as their confederates did in tho wnr
for tho abolition of slavery all will be
conscientiously opposed to war, but
they will insist on having it prosocut
od vigorously by substitutes. Will
knaves and demagogues bo allowed to
jeopardiio either tho religion or liberty
of tho people of this Union ? Or, have
we became so debauched that we have
lost all "Virtuo, Liborty and Indepen
dence?" If bo, wo deserve tho same
fate that has overtaken nations which
havo allowed knaves and demagogues
to ndministor Church and Govern
mental affairs, and tho end is not far
off if tho pooplo aro foolish, enough to
elect the Cincinnati nominee.
AftoTiir.it County Heard From.-"
Tho acknowledged rascality and cor
ruption ol tho Republican leaders has
at last penetrated tho hard cranium of
old Parson Brownlow, and ho emphat
ically says:
"I would rathtr rot for an honeit Democrat
thin a diihoneit Republican , and I warn all r
pudiaWra who with to atoml their way Into oflioo
by appeal to party, that OB thia qoaitios Is Kaat
Tenneeieo we know no party but the party ol
aonoet men- no jt.puoticaa fair Mat! craei

IA elamor of national imt, m tf there bo any
of that aort of oattle looking for preferment, X ad
moalib them that we will fiod them ont in Bait
Tcnnniee, and treat them accordingly,"
This is certainly strange languago,
and shows that Brownlow is about
taking "a now departure," for tho im
provements of tho morals and official
integrity of his State. Ho has been
one ol tho Radical loaders in his State
ever since 1800. llisconvorslon though
lato, is better thnn never. The key
note next fall, on tho Presidential issuo,
will bo between honest men and rogues.
In 1800 It was pcaco and union on tho
one hand, and war and disunion on tho
other. Tho result wo all know. Road-
cr, how will you voto this fall 1 For
Belknap, Babcock & Co., or for honest
men?
Testimont From the Knemv. Tho
Radical leaders havo ex haunted all
thoir stratogy since tho fall of Belknap,
Babcock & Co., in ordor to inveigle
and destroy the character ol somo
prominent Democratic Statesman. Tho
Rads want nn offset badly. They pur
chased a scoundrel named Harney, to
impeach Rpeakor Kerr, to the offect
that ho had sold a Cadetship. Tho ed
itor of the Now York Tribune, who is
cortainly no friend ol Mr. Kerr's, in
alluding to the futile attempt to black-
en Mr. Korr's character savs: "Har-
noy's testimony against Spcakor Korr
had from tho first no basis except Har
ney's word ; it was opposed to nearly
all rcasonablo probabilities, and flatly
contradicted by tho flpoakor himself.
An exposure of Harney's lile and char
acter now discredits him as a witness.
From other sources thoro come cir
cumstantial evidence that bo pockoted
tho money ho received from Oroono.
In addition to all this, Mr. Kerr gives
a miniilo and satisfactory account ol
tho circumstances under which ho ad
vised the Greene appointment. That
scandal is wiped out."
An exchange says: "Ben Butler
writes to Spcakor Kerr that thero is
not a decent man, woman or child in
the country that believes tho charges
affecting his character, and advises
him not to worry ovor it." As Butler
seldom dofends any ono but a rogue,
it looks a littlu squally for Mr. Kerr.
Wo are well aware tliat tho sale of Co-
dotships and Credit Mobilior jobs, was
just the games which such "Christian
Stotosmen" as Colfax and Sroflcld play
od at whilo in Congress; but Demo
crats havo no business to violuto tho
laws ofGod and man in that way. If
Spcakor Korr sold a Cadetship ten
years ago, wo say expol him. A Chris
tian might as well avail himself of the
defense of tho devil, as for a Democrat
to havo Butler to counsel and advise
him lit political affairs.
Radical Crookeiiness. Tho editor
of the Butler Ilrmtd says ; "Mr. Smith,
a clerk In the State Treasury depart
ment, and Mr. Wngnor, a Termor clerk
in tho Auditor Uonoral's department
under General Allen, wore both, at the
Instance, of Gov. llartranft, arrested
lor nialleasanco in oftlco. Tho Treas
urer ot the city SuranUi testified that
he paid each I800,and had his accounts
changed so as to make a difference in
his favor of !1,000. Wo may well ask
who is honest? If thero was ono man
in the State whom we thought possess
ed undoubted Integrity, It waa Mr.
Smith. But an If is.
THE FREEDMAN'S DANK:
Among all tho revelations ol fraud at
Washington, nothing monitor or more
disgraceful has come to light than tho
swiudlo of the to-called Kroodinan'i
Bank in that city. It should henco
forth bo known as the Bank for Swin
dling .Kroodmun, Under the pretense
of philanthropy a ring of white men
have been nibbing the emancipated
slaves, and tho colored pooplo of the
oountry generally, of their hard earn
ings' Besides various sKenlators who
orovetl tinon tho funds of tho emanci
pated slaves, tho notorious District of
Columbia government ring camo in lor
a largo suuro of the stealing. The bank
had intimate relations with tho District
real estate "pool," and Vondonbtirg. a
contractor, who waa in collusion with
the mombera of the "pool," borrowed
monoy from the bank on absolutely
worthless securities ; tho actuary of the
bank himselft D. L. Eaton, waa por
suadod to accept as a gratuity from
Vandonburg a half interest in a 1100,
000 contract for sowor pipes. Katon
put in no monoy of his own, incurred
no risk or rosjioiisibility, and had no
trouble except to sign receipts for bis
share of the profits. Ho used his posi
tion to pass Vandonhurg's paper at the
bank cotintor, And the money thus ob
tained was used to carry out tho con
tract In which bo was interested as a
beneficiary. Vandenhurg still owes to
tho bunk 1144,104.83, which, howevor,
ho disputes on tho ground that somo
110,000 or $50,000 ofhis securities have
boon disposed of and no credit given
him. By means of tho Seneca Sand
stone entorpriso $32,000 Was drawn
from tho bank on wortlilcsa socuritlos.
Tho renort snvs : "Kvorv one of tho
survivors in this gross fraud and con
spiracy namely, Henry D. Cooko.
liowis Henbane, lianet ju mourn ana
Jo. Evans should be indicted, tried
and punished to the extent of tho law,
while those who nro necuniarilv re
sponsible should bo sued for the recov
ery of tho money or good securities,
consisting in part of 120,000 first mort-
fago bonds of tho Amorlcan Freestone
lining and Manufacturing Company,
of which tho bank was robbod by the
conspirators."
Tho report was signod by all the
members of tho commiltoe (five Demo
crats and Rainey, colored Republican)
except Mr. Frost, (Rep. Mass.) who,
however, agrees with tho main con
clusions. New York Observer.
Now, aa tho above comes from a re
ligious newspaper, and one, too, that
has always been extremely "loyal,
with an undisguised tondonry to tho
Republican party, what it now Bays ol
tho Frocdmcii'a Bank manipulators
must be accepted as verity, if not in tho
stronger light of Suite's evidence.
Anothor thing tho Republican or
gans aro constantly telling thoir read
ers that the Congressional investiga
tions are mora shams, gotten up in the
interest of the Democrats, that the
accusod partios, Grant, Belknap, Bab
cock, Blaino, li Co., are all lovely and
honost fellows, that the evidence pro
duced against them is false, and, there
fore, it is not worth while to occupy
thoir columns with Its publication.
And again Tho Republicans in Con
gresses well us the press of thut party
havo from tho beginning thrown every
possiblo obstacle in the way of a full
and honest investigation, oven to the
refusing to exhibit public records, and
as in tho iustanoo of the safe burglary
affair, absolutely destroying such
records, and Inducing important wit
nesses to fleo tho country, so that it
has been very difficult for the Domo
ontui to deteot the rogues, however
guilty thoy may be.
And oven now when, In the face of
all those and other difficulties, onongh
facta have boon elicited to listen guilt
upon the accused parties, the Republi
can member of a committoo, through
tear that he will injure Ai's party, dedinet
to sign a report. Wo ask, could despor
ation go furthor? Could there be
stronger proof of tho utter corruption
and demoralization of the Republican
party?
J e.n k and WiiiTi The Philadel
phia Timet ay: "Gen. Harry White
is practically renominated forCongrcss
by tho primary action of tho Republi
cans in the sovoral counties of his dis
trict, and will have another 'tilt with
.Mr, Jenks, who distanced him some
five hundred vote in 1874. The dis
trict (Indiana, Armstrong, Jefforson,
Clarion and Forest) is Republican by a
thousand or so on a full party poll,
but Jenks is one of the few new Dem
ocratic members who have greatly
strengthened thorasolvos by public sor-
vico, and ho will make the contest at
least doubtful even in a Presidential

The lost attempt it that of implicating
Speaker Kerr in the sale of Cadotshipt
ten years ago. All right; if Mr. Korr
participated in that Radical game, lot
us know it. The Democratic nartv
cannot afford to defend mguoa of that
kind. If Korr resorted to Radical
sport of that tort, lot him be exposed,
and expelled from hit high seat. Rad
icals may pass their time away in de
fending the "crooked" ways of their
loaders, but Democrats will not do-
aoond to that low grade of moral de
pravity,
A Rare Opportunity. "Modoc"
and "Junius No. 2," two ominent nows-
papor correspondents, have a rare op
portunity of following the financial
schemo of tho lato Oakot Amos, by in
vesting somo of their cash where it will
do "tho most good." Thoir man Fri
day is in prison, and, of conrso, thoy
will "sock" the fine and costs while
their confederate, Paul like, suffers im
prisonment, and who will, of course,
eotno out a martyr and a wiser if not
a bettor man
A Dear Hii ot. The editor of the
Now York Herald acorns to think that
ex Spcakor Blaino did not got $01,000
Credit Mobilior bonds, but he remarks
"No ono Questions tho fact that Mr.
Blaino was horribly used by Mulligan,
and bis fight waa calculated to excite
the admiration of all who like atrre
and dash. But in a week all that
would bo formttcn. and twonle would
begin to read the letters and wonder
whether M r. Blaine at President would
be aa anxious to do a favor to a great
railway jebber like Caldwell as he waa
when Npeakor."
Rather HmuuiAR. It la nearly aa
hard for an ex-editor to throw oft his

UARRISBVRQ CtlOOKEDXEMi.
H appoare that toino "bottom fucu"
aro being brought to light at Harris

Iui'Eacument. The Philadelphia
Timet of Saturday, In alluding to this
question says :
Again tho question of postponing
the Belknap caso is boing canvassed.
Soveral Senators, amont thorn Mr.
Conkling, assort that if tbo trial pro
coeds on the tith of July tho House
cannot adjourn and leavo the Senato
to face the dog days alone. The point
raised is that the prosonco of the
House is necessary to an impoachmont
trial : iudirmont can only be rendered
upon the demand of tho House, and if
the managers suouia mid ii nocossary
to amend the articles during the pro
gress of the caso, it con Id on ly bo done by
tho House. The Democrats aro much
more anxious to got homo than to see
Belknap tried, and are using this argu
ment with good effect on Senators.
There is little doubt that tho trial will
bo postponed till fall. It will do just
as well. Belknap's caso is one that
will keep through tho warmest weather.
"Don" on the Wino. Secretary of
War Cameron left Washington on
Thursday last, and will not return to
tbo War Offleo until after the Cincin
nati Convention. "Don" presumes, no
doubt, that be carries a President in
his pocket. lie heads the Radical del
egation from this State, it it true, but
tho Democratt intend to tolect the next
President, and, therefore, "Don" will not
bo taken into counsel upon that point,
and is fooling his time away if he pre
sumes that he and his parent ean run
both machines.

MB. CABI'ENTER BEFORE THE SENATE.
Ex-Sonator Carpenter is fast acquir
ing a most unenviable reputation as a
legal bully, ih the trial of the Bolknap
ease before the Senato. Hit conduct
in argument has boon seriously ani
madverted upon by the conservative
men of hit own party, and has, on sov
eral occasions, given positive offence
to Democratic Senators. So much so,
that upon a recent ropotilion of re
marks amounting almost to Insult to
the Court of Impeachment, Mr. Thur
man rose in his teat and administered
a desorvod robuko to tho cx Senator.
It cortainly is extremely mortilying
that tho proceedings of the most im
portant Court ever convened in the
United Slates, and whoso duty it it to
try one of the most serious oases in
our political history, should be inter
rupted by inch episodes. It is a sad
commentary upon the total want of
respect lor authority which seems to
have been one the most direct out
growths of the supremacy of tbo Re
publican party. Tbo public of this
city are almost a unit in their disap
proval of tuch unbecoming and undig
nified conduct on the part ol a man
who onoe held a seat on the Senate
floor, and are delighted that Senator
Jourman took occasion to "put Mr.
Carpenter down," and to loach him
some respect for the prvileges of the
nennie, togemor with the surntantinl
difference betwoon a High Court of
Impeachment and tho office of a Jus
tice of the Peace.

THE C RANGERS.
THEIR CENTENNIAL ENCAMl'MENTS.
The Philadelphia Timet, in alluding
to tho arrangements mado by tho Pat
rons of Husbandly says:
Of all the hotel enterprises born of
tbo Centennial, the most original and
one of the most gigantic is tho encamp
ment of the Patrons ol Husbandry, at
Klin Stanton, on tho main line of the
Pennsylvania Railroad. Tho fact that
loading officers of that great corpora
tion have thoir tuminos homes in the
vicinity of thit spot is strong evidence
ot its suiiorior charms, even though
compared witli any of the othor natural
beauties which have woo lor the route
ot that line Biich wide-sprond celebrity.
Within three miles from tho grounds
of tho Kxbibition, and ou the southern
side of that great iron artery which
conducts tho life's blood of Uo conti
nent from ocean to ocean, stands, with
the appearance of a mammoth railway
station of Swiss architecture, the Cen
tennial home of the Granger. The
location is a plateau near tho south
western corner of Montgomery county,
and centering in an amphitheatre ol
mils, luii-Kiy vrwutMi witu vuusuiub,
on the south, covered with rich pas
tures and grocn waving grain among
the grove of elm and cedar on the east
and west, and romantically diversified
with bold, wooded bluffs and watered
ravines on tho norlb. Not only the
site, but also the hotel (which possesses
an air ot rusticity the more pleasing
because the structure is of wood), offers
nearly all tbo inducements of a most
oligible country seat , Whilo specially
designod for the accomodation of tho
Patrons ot Husbandry ol the L ulled
States and Canada, the hotel ia open
to ail other rospectalile porsons. .lhe
strtitnra is a rectangle, minus one side,
49C feet long and 450 foot wide, with
cloven instead of but ono wing in the
centre, and all those are as long aa the
ends. Tho main portion is two stories
in height, elovatcd at each flank and
also In the centre. The wings are but
one story in height. There are on tho
first floor 1,020 sleeping rooms, and on
the second, lav, having comfortable
accommodations for 2,400 persons. In
the roar of, and separated from the
building! described, thoruby keeping
at a distanco that disagreeable odor
which freouontlv arises from arrroesble
substances is a dining room capable of
seating sovoral regiments at ono time,
the simple comfort of which can bo best
imagined by thoso having ever, when
hungry, eaten chowder in a tent on
the seashore, whilo tho stiff, cool, puff
imr of Nenturo ran mischievously hind-
ward with napkins and Mackinaws.
Bock ol this are tho kitchen and laun
dry, models of system and supplied
with labor-annihi lalors that would send

they felt that this was thoir only way
to real tho "scum from tbo town."

the tin t that tlio greatest circumspec

A Poor Opinion of its Pabtt.
The Boston witnesses have established
absolutely nothing ubaiust Blaino. Ho
bus nut been hurt by tho steady fire of
scandal under which bo has been held
continuously for mouths. In tho very
f ice of it ho has gathered in tho dele
gates Iroin Mittlo alter suite. iv.
Tribune.
Only ono inference cuu bo drawn
from iho above, and that not at all
flattering. If Blaino has not boon
"hurt by tho steady lira" of what tho
Tribune calls "scandal," wo must como
to the conclusion that his Bupporlui
are either densely ignorant, or willing
to striko hands with an audaciously
corrupt and thoroughly oxposod rascal.
Wo know the Mongrel party thiues
liko a rotten mackerel, but notwith
standing tbo aid which tho Tribune is
daily giving tho more corrupt portion
of it, wo are unwilling that tho party,
as a wliolo, is so utterly lost to all
honor and honesty us to put lllaino bo
fore the country as its Presidential
BUindard-boiiror. Tho Tribune, liko
cortain "eminent lawyers" in Wash-
intrton, is bocoming a conspicuous und
nimble defender of evorv political
thief in the country, but we think; it
reckons without its host this time.
