been running a bill of fifty conts por

Tm PooR-llous Law. This Act
of Assembly, in which our pooplo are
decidedly interested, will be found in
full on our fourth page. Let it be read
by all. Tho law fixes no time when
the Commissioners are to purchase or

Good roams Fourth. The Frank
lin Radicals had purchased lots of pw-
dor, tar barrels etc., toconsumo just as
soon as Blaine was nominated ; but tho
Ohio polo having knocked the persfm

material has been saved for the Cen

Anotiikr "B." The editor of tho
Timet now feels hotter than any of the
othor nfortunaU) "B's" who have nn-
dorgono unfavorable criticism recently,
He now pins himself to Belknap, be
cause "our case," ho says, was raised
"superior to that of the late Secretary
ot War." What Christian resignation !
Gail's Fun. Mr. Blaino's sister-in-
law, Gail Hamilton, whon the news of
tho Cincinnati nomination for Presi
dent reached her, got her mouth ajar arfd
quietly romarkod, "Now thoy ought
to put the ex-Governor of Now Hamp
shire on the tickot for Vice President,
aud then it would be Hayes and Straw."
If thoso persons who aro furnishing
an inmate of our prison with oranges,
lemons, aud other delicacies, would in
fuse a little more common sonse Into
him tuff his head instead of bis
stomach it would prove more bencfi
cial to society, and tax-payors in par
ticular. But, every man to his liking,
as the good man said when he kissed
his cow.
The guerrilla Mosby is for Hayes.
Well, he "went for him" several times
during the war on slavery, why not
now. Thoy aro both members ot the
dis-Union party and for four years la
bored to break up the country. It is
true thoy were on opposite sides, but
they both worked for the same objoct.
That the Union was saved, is no fault
of theirs.
It is announced that Grant's right

But as it would be something liko cast

The "honorablo work," we presume,

That Blaine was tho choice of nine
tentbs of tho mombors of tho Radical
party, who had booomo tired of tho
robberies and plundorlngs under Grant,
there can be no doubt. ' But those nino
tenths have boon tlefeatod by the one
tenth of their party, and if Hayes should
unftirliinately be elected, be will adopt
the policy of (iratit, Uelknap, Bubcwk
4 Co., and his administration bo more
wholly manured by tho post-trudor
and Whisky Rings than over Grant's
was. Tho Washington Preu, in allud
ing to the Cincinnati Convention, says :
liny os had five votes more than a
majority, ami twenty-six mora than
Blaine on tho last ballot. This result
was rulliur a surprise to the pooplo.
Wo had supposed, that the Mulligan
letters might possibly have reconciled
Grant, Camoron & Co., to tho nomina
tion of Bluino, but wo find we wore
mistaken. It Is plain that tho other
candidates wore ull against him.which,
with Grant's administration thrown in,
was too much to contend against.
Grant, Camoron & Co. have got a man
that suits them, and as ho was nomi
nated by a coalition, no doubt he is
bound by plodgos to thoso who nomi
nated him. It mutton but little who
ho Is or what his personal character ;
nominated as he was, his olootion can
only result in four' yoars moro of
Grantisra. Casey will still run the
New Orleans Custom House and ruin
tho Republican party in Louisiana.
Brother Orvil will continuo to pick up
fat things in Indian tradorsbips. Bab
cock will not bo expelled from tho
army. Shepherd and his accomplices
will be protected. Fred promoted
ovor older and bottor mon. In short,
tho oloction of Hayes means four years
more of extravaganoo ; of high salaries
for tho officers and high taxes for tho
people ; official splendor and povorty ;
of wealth for the few and povorty for
the many.
IIristow-Blaine. The editor of the
Hartford (Conn.) 77mm, undor tho
hood of "Washington Affairs," relates
tho following "quoer" topio: Con
gressman McUonry, of Kentucky, ro-
latoa this incidont of Socrotary Bns
tow's visit to Mr. Blaino's bouso on
Sunday, tho 11th, as soon as the 800
retary heard of Mr. Blaine's suddon
stroke of illness. He wont with tho
Socrotary to Blaino's house. Ho says :
"Whon wo reached the portico, wo
found tho door wido open, and observ
ed Mr. Blaine lying prono upon the
floor of tho hall, within twenty foot of
the threshold, surrounded by attend
ants, who were endeavoring to restore
him to consciousness. Fearing that
he might disturb the sufferer by ring
ing or knocking, Gon. Ilrislow entered
softly. Ho bad no sooner entered the
hall Mr. Washington and myself re
maining without than Mrs. Blniuo,
who at that moment camo to her hus
band's side and recognized the Secre
tary, instantly slipped rapidly forward,
and with a motion of her band forbade
the Socrotary to enter, saying as sho
did so, 'Don't coino in, sir; you have
bad your way' (pointing to the hus
band), 'you bave had your way.' Gon.
Bristow, without a word in reply, bow
ed himself backward, in a very re
spectful and dignified manner, and
passed out of tho door into the street,
leaving Mrs. Blaine sobbing."
A Cabinet Flurry. Grant and the
"crookod whisky" dealers have work
ed away ontil thoy have got Bristow
out of tho Treasury Department As
soon of the Cincinnati Convention was
ovor, Grant k Co. wore getting ready
to kick Bristow overboard, but the
Goneral was a little too smart for thorn
and settled the affair by sending in his
resignation. Grant hesitated about ac
cepting it. He did not want to be de
feated in tbat way; but having ac
coptod Belknap's resignation so prompt
ly when tendered, he was compelled to
act just as'promptly in the case of Gen.
Bristow, or rise and give a lengthy ex
planation lor his distinction. Tho now
Secretary of the Troosiiry is Hon. Lot
M. Morrill, ono of tho United States
Senators from Maino. Tho announo
ment that Gon. Hurlhut, of Illinois, bad
been appointed waa premature. How
strange that the President and the
"crookod whisky" dealers should soloct
one of tbo oldest "Maine law" advo
cates to finish up the prosocutions com
menced against tho "ring ' by Goneral
Bristow. We suspect that this class of
prosecutions will stop undor the new
Socrotary, and tba "crooked" business
will ba revived undor the now tempor-
ance Secretary. What a peculiar alli

A Pair or Land-orabiikrs. Tho
Cincinnati Convention resolved against
"further grants ot the publio lands to
corporation and monopolies," whon It
is well known that our publio lands
have all gone into the possession of
monopolists through the legislation of
the Radical party. Further, it is found
on Investigation that Hayes, tho Radi
cal Presidential candidate whon in Con
rgoss uniformly voted in favor of every
land grant and every subsidy brought
before tho House during his member
ship, and Wheolor, tho candidate for
Vice President, was a chief among tho
Credit Mobilior supporters, and advo
cated every measure of any benefit to
the land grabbers. What a jewel con
sistency is I Denounce land-grabbing
in the platform, and thon nominate tho
grabbers for President and Vice Pres
ident No circus clown ever exhibited
more agility at turning hand-springs
than do tho Radical loaders at this
day for the sole purpose of securing
Grant's suocossnr.

United States District Attorney, at
Washington, for his "crookod" wavs.
camo off last woek. and the lurv.
"ring" like, altor being out two days,
failed to agree and wore discharged by
the Court. Tbo verdict pleased the
"ring" Court very much. Soven of
tho Jurors wore for conviction, and five
for acquittal. Two of tho five who fa
vored acquittal, were "buttios" ot
Fisher's.
Discounting Already. Frye,
Blaino's right band man at the Cincin
nati Convention, guaranteed bis breth
ren a Radical majority In Maine next
Fall of 20,000 ; but at their Stat Con
vention the olbor day, the Rods re
served Hayes only 15,000 majority. Il
the discount of 28 per cent a month ia
kept up In this way, the Democrats
will swoep the StaU in November by
10,000 majority.

This quotation, which wo find in tho

Also Spotted. Tho Congressional

and bis associate, is evon worse than
that of Blaine, who bad tho shrewd

and othor plundering schemes, whilo
tho innocent Hayes went square on

that was introduced during his mom
bershlp, and Whoeler, duriug his con
nection with the Pacific railroad com
mittee, was a prince among tho Credit

Bad Generalship. Tho Philadel
phia 7Vmc, in alluding to tho bungling
effort of tho Blaino delegates at Cin
cinnati, says: "A good illustration of
the generalship of tbo Blaino men in
the Pennsylvania delogation is found
In the fact that, with tbat delegation
standing thirty for Bluino and twenty-
ajght for Hayes, the friends of Blaine
insisted ibat tho unit rule should not
prevail, and that each delegate should
vote as he pleased. This blunder alono
is sufficient to account for Blaine's
dotoat."
Disuracevul. If tho conduct of tho
Domocratio delegation from this State
is as outlandish at St. Louis as that of
the Radicals at Cincinnati, wo shall
mako a motion to tho effect that all
Pennsylvaniuns remain awayiom Na

loarn how to behave. Our delegates
at Cincinnati wore a laughing stock
for all tho other delegations. It is saitl
that Mcl'borson bad tho wholo rig on,
but the oars wore a littlo too short to
fully designato the boast.
Aoain Miraculously Converted.
A recent number of the 77mcs contain
ed the following : "Honcelorlh we will
rigidly exclude all personal communi

oharoctor of any privalo citir.en of this

of tho 22d, in alluding to tho personal

says : "Ho had a laborious day yostor-

the British commissioners. Nothing
seems to escape this careful and stu
dious statesman sovereign no Invon
tion or educational development, noth
ing in agriculture, art, or scionco. His
powers of observation are as koon as
bis industry is prodigious, lie takos
nothing for granted, but oxumines all

of the British commission, pronounces
him ono of Iho most thorough men ho

SENATOR H0YER-S EEPIY TO
MR. SCHOONO yEH.
Mr. Kiiitoii : If tho writers of
the llotU(y)-Wilson Scboonovor letter,
published ill IheltEI'liliLIOAN of tbo 21st
insl., expect to escape notice by adopt
ing as its reputed author a character
so utterly characterless that no gentle
man uaii ufford to notice him, thoy are
hereby notified to disabuse tholr minds
on Ibat score, humiliating as 1 conic
il to ho lo mo lo notice tins miserable
dupo, evon when matlo tho medium of
Sersons who chum to no gentlemen,
ly honor, which the twin combination
seeks to.nssuil, demands that 1 do not
sutler It 10 pass unnoticed. Tbo letter
and tho reputed writer (whoso
name is borrowed ; because, I suppose,
il is cheap,) are ubout on a pur tho
former tha pointless production of a
duiilicuto stupidity : tbo latler a sort
of caudal appendage, by no means orna
mental, only when extreme uuuKrupiey
of decency commands a premium ; but
ho mukos a fitting tail to tho kite, and
has, perhaps, a bettor reputation as a
first-class liboler than any person that
could havo boon selected by tho writers.
In fuel, ho is said to be tho only man
moun enough to lend his ornate name
for othor people to throw mud with.
For tho suite of these expectant
statesmen, 1 regret that 1 am compelled
to answer tho quostions tbey propound,
which I know they do not want an
swered. But in doing this, 1 beg to
siiy again, that I do not condescend to
notice tho chap whoso nuino is signed
to the letter, and feel humiliated onough
to bo compelled to notico tho actual
writers, who luck tho usseiitiul man
hood and courage to claim their off
spring, but will send it forth a bastard ;
or, what Is intlultely worse, givo it such
a parontago. Shamo on you, for send
ing tho bantling out so thinly clad and
with such a gloomy prospoct for pre
toction in tbo future I Senatorial vis
ions, it seems to mo, should inspire
mora courage, and Moc rates and I'.scit
lapius should have bolder representa
tives.

I -If.l . , . . , L .. . II J L
I uiu muru to puss uiu oo-cuiicu uoom
Dill than any ono senator in that sen
ate. I know that my amendment
saved tho Dill, by bringing to its su-
IKirt votes mat it would olliorwiso
tavo been Impossible to get for it. I
advocated this amendment of ono dol
lar, anil, by personul solicitation, got
for it the requisite number of votes ;
and when tho bill finally camo
back from tho House, whoro a packed
committee attempted to load it tlown
and defeat it, I demanded of tho Presi
dent jiro tan. of tho Senate, who bad
steadily and consistently opposed it,
that It should bo siL'iien without fur
ther opposition. This I did in tho
nreseneo of Senator Alien, of J.veom
mg, whom 1 called to witness tho de
mand properly niado, and then and
there wo got the pledgo that tho hill
should bo no longer delayed on its way
to the Govornor. And I further dely
my oppononts to produce any word,
act, ordecil of proof from the ono hun
dred ana about eighty witnesses ex
amined before tho committee of the
House, that I tried ia any manner to
influence a voto against tho passage of
ttio bill In tholtonso. ion have noth
ing but the naked stutcmont of Andre.
If you havo a Record at hand, read the
statements of many members who wore
compelled to repudiate tho reports of
tho oommitteo and the printed testi
mony. Tho questions as put to Mr.
Conrad by tho House committee, wore
contrary to all rules governing testi
mony, and ran only be excused on the
If round that the committee was bound
to smirch parties whom they had no
power to roach. Tbat ho did not say
what that committe reports bo said, is
Iilainly apparent from the testimony
io gave before tho Sonato committee
after calm thought ami reflection, and
altor no bad read bia lostimony
S rintcd by tho House com in it too. An
ro simply took a copy of his testimony
as it was prepared for bim for tho
llouso and ro-swora to it before tbe
Senate cbmmittoo ; but Conrad (who
is an honorable man and cannot be
usod for any malignant purposes, not
withstanding the oaso attempt of the
writors of Iho Schonnover letter to
blacken bis character by cowardly and
mean insinuations.) honestly reflected
and got the truth, and swore to it as he
rocollocted it. Andre, liko Schoonovor,
was simply the base tool ot more can
ning, but cowardly creatures, who seek
honorablo positions, but havo neithor
capacity or moral honesty to reach
thorn ; honco, they attempt to rise on
tho ruin ol others.
It will require but a momont's re
flection to reconcile my statement of
my acquaintance with Andre. I know
him as I did many othora know whore
thoy came trom, and what tbey wore
doing m Jlarrtsburif, but did not know
tbeir names ; and whoa I stated that I
sat down by him bocuuse 1 know him,
1 meant exactly what I said. I had a
passing acquaintance, as we often do
bavo with people, and as 1 wanted to
wait fur the Centre county mombors,
it was natural that i should set down
by some one to pass away the time.
Andre's seat was in the imroediato
neighborhood of the mombors from Con
tra county, and it was natural that wo
should enter into conversation on legis
lative topics ; for 1 had not such an ac
quaintance with bim as to justify any-
tiling jiau a laminar vunvurauiiun un
topics that wore not connected with
our business at Harrisburg. The boom
bill was at that tiino tho principal
topic of conversation, and it of course
came up. 1 his could happen with an
on tire stranger, or on the slightest ac
quaintance, ami wbon I saitl I know
tho man, I, of course, meant to convoy
iho idea that I knew who ho was.
Whon I said before tbo Senate commit-
too that I had no acquaintance with
the man, I snoko tho truth also ; for
bo it remembered, tho question by tbo
Senate committee to mo was : "llavo
you bad a long personal acquaintance
wim jir. Antiro t Aly answer waa
"No: I had only seen him passing in
and mil at llio Hotel be boarded at
My acquaintance, thorofore, was only
a passing speaking acquaintance, and
not an intimate acquaintance that
would enable me to more than know
bim, as I did most of the members of
the House, some of whom I know all
winter without being ahlo to call thorn
by name.
Mr. Sbugort's testimony hoars the
impress of truth and sincerity. lie
swears io wnsi no recollects, aud not
to what ho thinks, as Andre did. If
ho faded to recollect, whon before tho
oommilloo, a convolution be and I
had on one occasion, it is no evidence
that ho wishes to bido it, or that be
swears falsely. His good name will
protect him against allsueh characters
as tbo two minds who writo for Schoon
over. My reference to Col. Uartshorno was
made without consulting him. 1 mado
it as I would to any honorablo man
who 1 am convinced cannot be made
the tool of any ono. I boliove that he
knows my position, and fool satisflod
that he will stale it tinnnroJilv , Ao
soon as 1 can roach bim by lottor, I
win auuress in in and ask lor it.
In order that you can have no ex.
ouso for making publio what you ao
cowardly insinuate, I again dely yon
to say aught against my political
record to point to one single instance
where I did not faithfully represent my
constituents ; and I demand of you to
refer to one single act of disloyalty to
my trust, but warn you that I will ac
cept nothing but tbe truth, even though
your cowardly fears may indue, you
to send it endorsed by a medium In
whioh there is no truth. Judge Orris,
in hia able and exhaustive cbarg to
tbe jury in a lata lib! oaae, haa dalaed
what yoo may say, and it give. ya
permission to charge tha trath m But
ter how bad that truth may be. ;
II you can lliul any comfort in my
Buying that I did not want tho lull
back in tho Heuutu bocuuso 1 diil not
want to bo annoyed with it, you are
wuleomo In II, 11' you hint read my
remarks on the hill when I tillered the
amnndmont that was agreed to by the
lumbermen, you could quota from It.
1 believe I then suit) every person was
liretl of this quuHtliiii, and that il wits
ap annual uuiioyitnco and a reproach.
1 did not condescend lo niitico the
speech ol' I'li'ini'iilniiit which be hud
carvliilly written at the time he read
it. He prepared it in malice mid reatl
it in ileNptiriilion, ull ur every legitimate
oll'ort hail lulled to confirm the charge
against me and to sustain Iho testi
mony t, Andre ull ol which wits dono
with the malignance with which tho
pull- wrote tbo loiter of tbo 2lt hint.
The contempt with which Krmenlrotit's
atleiupt was received by the Senate, is
only equaled by the contempt the
eiiuri muilo to mm uiy reputation Iium
been received by our people when they
read tho lletts(y)-vilsoii-Hcli(K)iiovor
letter. An old man liko Andre may
bo duped, and his consclenco may bo
somewhat eased by the slime and saliva
covering put on by Krmoiitrout ; but
you can not dupe so intelligent a con
stitiieucy us I liavo bad the honor of
representing. Ibey regurd your low
insinuations as huso and cowardly, anil
insist thai you shall mako them good,
or accept tho odium that attaches to ail
slanderers of your class.
Tho quotation from Meigs is hardly
worth untieing, only lo show tho des
perate mi in it to which my enemies aro
drivun to find anything against mo.
uosiifcs, something awlul might hap
pen tbe astute and leurited compiler
and iikt of othor mon if I failed lo
notice tins wondorlul co-iiiciuence.
1 quoted Meigs from memory, and
tried to qunto as near correct us 1
could, but 1 find by tho showing in tho
pagier that 1 did Moigs injustice, for
wuiiu x iijiuiogir.e w inu npintoi .ueiga.
1 holiovo that I nut iho neeessarv rmolu-
tion marks to the manuscript, but may
havo forgotten it. If so, it is ell the
sumo ; tor Iho Meigs letters are copy
righted, and no one, except ono of
Meigs' representatives, can cull mo to
an account lor it. Hut it 1 bod boon
"Sohooney," I would not have signod
tho letter unless thut part was slrickon
out, for it don't look well. Hut, por
haps, bo ditl not rend it ; 1 doubt if ho
could in writing, foor duiw) I
I will not weary tho public by r
hcursihg tho evidence in tho reports
ol two committees, who bad this mat
ter almost exclusively under investiga
tion, the ono absolutely so. Tbo first
says that somo evidence was taken
that may bo considered as in somo
senso corroborative of tho respective
statements ; hut, as it is only corrobora
tive to the tact ot an interview or con
vernation with Andre, which is not de
nied by me, and in part to other ques
tions (of courso not conneclod with the
hill), tho committe says it may, or it
may not, bo considered as evidence
Now, will any sano man believe that
Strang, a high-toned, but ardent l(o-
fiuolican; uunkleand l.awronco, equal
v honorable and renreseiitativolEeiiub-
hcuns, or that Dill, who is well and
fhvoruhly known to many sf our peo
ple, would lend tbuir names and risk
their reputations on a doubtful report,
if any real Incts had boen elicited f Ur
that Allen, who w as the local champion
of tho boom bill, would permit a doubt
ful report to tie mado against bis inter
ests ? I say his interests, for be it re
membered, while tho commitleo was
at work, the evidence hud accumulated
that tho lumbermen bad made spceilic
oft'ors of money to secure votes lor the
passage of tho bill. Under this slate
of facts, it is not likely that Mr. Allen,
who is ono of tbo best lawyers in the
Senate, and a very honorable man, w ould
havo protected ma, il'l bad been against
bim, or guilty of tho chargo of attempt
ing to bribe mon to voto against tbo bill.
The committee appointed in pursuance
of my resolution, demanding that tho
spocillc charges against mo should bo
investigated, was composed ot tliroo
Republicans and ono Democrat. A Iter
a vain search, and having the wholo
power ot tbe Stuto to aid them in get
ting the bottom facts, they reported
unanimously that "thtit there tras no
milenet to sustain tho charge of bribery,
which report was accepted by a unani
mous voto of tho Sonato, and laid on
tho table.
It is an easy mattor for persons who
have no great regard for tho truth to
mako charges and dirty Insinuations.
such as are contained in Iho B.-W.-S.
letter, but after three committees of
investigation, sworn to ascertain tho
truth and so report, tailed in criminal
ly connecting mo with the boom scan.
dal, It is hardly prolrable that masked
snoaks will succeed through so despica
ble and moan a source as tbo one
chosen. T. J. Boter.

building, in ibis oily, nddr.-sr.od to
"Kuvo," in London, subscribed "I'hilii-
tlelphiu," with this direction: "table
this iiumeduilely uj chairman House
Judioiuiy Committee, Washington."
What billowed was un oxuel tlrull ol
tho London telegram received by Mr.
Knott. This is ono of the Iiuh si liib
rlcations ever porpetratod, and will
cover with inefi'uceublo infamy every
man who wus a puny lo il or nn ac
complice in il. lis detection and ex
posure aro due to Mr. Hewitt, whose
intiinalu knowledge of the .telegraph
business, from his having been presi
dent of one of the cable companion, on.
ubled him to direct the Ivestigation
with the requisite nUiII (or nncovcring I
this scandalous fruml. H e trust that
its skulking authors and nil their ac
complices may bo detected and mt in

It is clearly the work of Mr. lilaiie's
friends, and tlioro is a slron;; irosiimp
tion that it wns dono with ins knowl
oiIl'o. The fact that ho knew all about
it before Mr. Knott, to whom it wus
addressed, nnd tho two or three gen
tlemen lo whom ho had mentioned il
disclosed its existence, is a strong cir
eiimslanco against Mr. lllaine. ilia
acquaintance with the transaction wits
so minuto that be surprised ami ulmost
confounded Mr. Knott, by telling bim
in tho llonso tho substance of its con
tents and tho very hour when it had
boen received. Mr. Ulaino's other at
tempts lo lumper with witnesses and
to manufacture or suppress evidence,
seem small muttei-s in comparison with
this. Kven his method of procurim;
his letters from Mulligan is less dis
graceful. This extraordinary and as
tounding transaction justilios the sui-
pieion that the Mulligan letters were1
not road by Mr. lllaino as they were I
