Club Meetino. A Tildon and Hon

Democratic candidate for District At

Senator Morton's "bloody shirt,'
which ho has bocn waving in Indiana
for some tune, is likely to provo
total loss. Thora aro not fools and
knaves enough out tliero to wear
thorn, to make the scheme a success.
Ho candidatofor President since the
time of Andrew Jackson has been so
maligned and slandered, as Samuel 1.
Tildon ; yet, like "Old Hickory," the
Great Reformer, will be most triumph
antly elected by a robbed and indig
nant people.
The second Tuesday of Octobor does
not troublo us as much now as betoro
the adoption of the Constitution of
18;t. In Indiana and Ohio they are
having rod hot times, which will bo
settled on that day. How glad wo
are that the corrupting influences of
an October election are romovod from
onr borders.

Read our first page, and learn what
tbo loading Constitutional Lawyer of
tbis country thinks of the thrico-tilled
gentleman, who bails from the Western
Reserve, of Ohio. The Yankee elavo
code and the Puritan Idea of war and
humanity aro exceedingly good in
theory, but as p racticcd by them, a
humbug.
I'm Dn ia Cast. We have late in
telligence Irom Kx-Gov. Cnrtin, who
ia now in Indiana stamping for Tildon.
He says the Stato will go Democratic
next Tuesday by a handsome majority.
Even Ohio looks comfortable just now.
To-day the tide is flowing wonderfully
an favor of the Democracy in thoso
two States, and the fact Is visible jn
ihe face of evory prominent Radical.

It appears from wliul Is transpiring.
around us, that (ho Modoc nnd Hioux
o not tho only 'Injuns" on tbo war
path and in search of scalps ; but that
ar has been declared in the hast as
ell us in tho Went. Tho telegram
found below, which was sent in nil-
swor to one of Chairman Murray's
nr bulletins, fully explains Itself, but
should bo read In this vicinity to bo
fully understood by nil who wore pres
ent ut tho Radical lovo-feast in tho
Court IIouso when Shnpley "wont fur

Well, for tho benefit of thoso of our
readers who wore not present to sco
Shaplcy scalp Wallace, wo will state
that nobody was bint, Iho scalper
was introduced to tho meeting by
Chairman Murray, and the first thing
ho did was to pay tho very highest
compliment tu Senator ullucu's abili
ty and integrity that ono man can
pay to another. Then ho proceeded
to rend sumo excellent extends (but
cry inappropriate in view of the a
senibly before him) from the Senator's
Lock Haven speech. But thu liireo
did not last long. 1 he speaker soon
showod signs of exhaustion. Jt was
evident that ho was not qualified to
take a train in Philadelphia, at twolvo
o'clock at night, and rido 2(15 miles
and mako a spcoch tho next night, al
though portly nnd vigorous in his per
sonal appearance. But tho "Job put
up" for him by Iloyt nuil Murray
proved so exhaustive that Shnpley
broke down nnder the weight, throw
up tho sponge, und was hauled off tho
stage by his backers, and Senator al
lace's scalp was saved, although down
on a sick bed ut his residence. 8ha
ley was a Democrat, and wss a candi
dato for member of the Constitutional
Convention against Mr.Templo, of Phil
adolphia, and contested his seat before
that body but was kiekod out, and the
wont over to tho onemy and was ap
pointed by tho Mayor of Philadelphia,
Police Attorney. Ho rocoives fifty
cents per month, or six dollars per year
from 1,500 policemen, mnking his sal
ary f!),000 per annum. It was Ian
able to see him running over tow;
without an escort tho next morning,
hunting the Express, two hours after
the train bad left tho depot. Chai
man Jloyt had ordered him to make
spoceh at Lock Haven, on Thursday
night, and tliero socuro Congressman
Hockey s sculp, but tailing to make tho
connection in time, wo presume that
Mr. Mackoy, like Senator Wallnco,
still wears bis scalp, while Counsellor
Shaploy holds the fort in bis city bom
collecting fifty cents per scalp off the
well flooced policemen, and is as hap
py as before ho started out on his West
Branch crusade. hat a J OY his coin
pany must buvo been to MORRIS.
Tom Pepper Outdone. For square
toed defamation and falsehood, Tom
Poppor for ovor two conturies has
stood in the front rank of his class ; b
recently Blaine, of Mnino, has been
elbowing Tom out of plaoo, and now
holds the tort of fnlsohood himself.
"Jim" spoko bis peace at Warren
Ohio, last Saturday a week. It w
cbicfly devoted to proving that the
election of Mr. Tildon would involve
tho payment of the Robcl debt. And
yet Mr. Blaine as a United States Son
ator is supposed to know that tho Con
stitution expressly prohibits its pay
ment, and that that instrument can
only bo altored by a solemn voto of
three-fourths of the Slates. It is bad
onough for tho fledglings of tho Radi
cal stump to put forth snch absurdities
at cross-roads meetings, but for a man
liko Mr. Blaino It is infamous, and it
shows an ovcr-cstimato of tho swallow
ing capacity of even a Western Reserve
Radical audience.
Radicals in thissoetion would dospise
such cheap statements and go for tbo
fellow's scalp who would thus play on
their credulity.
Some Raisers Wanted. Wo under
stand that tho Cnmcronitcs in Brady,
aro short of help. Thoy have been
trying to raiso a Pole at West Liberty
(Jefferson Line P. 0.) for a week past
but have not succoodod. Tho first
troublo was to get teams onough to
haul tho polo, but after a two day's
effort, and sending over to Jefferson
oounty for additional motive powor,
the polo was put on tbo ground about
midnight. Thcro the pole reclines in
the mud, and nobody about to "bold
the Fort," and if Rufus Shaplcy and
Congressman Murray don't go out and
give it a lift It will freeze fust in the
mud. Shaploy should go, fur he has
tho "muscle" and the steadiness to hold
the thing, while the boys adjust the
tackle-blocks. The Macedonian cry,
"Coino over and help us," has bocn out
for ten days, yet no one heeds tho
wail.
How is mis for Hum? Tho Rad
ical majority in Maine, in September,
1872 (the Presidential year) was 18,182,
and at tho election this year it is only
11,183 just 7,000 loss, aflor one of tho
hardest Blaint contests ovor waged In
that State. Suppose tho Democrats
would have lost half th,U percentage,
what would have bocn the matter then?
Tho Democratic gain In Maine far ex
ceeds the expectations of any Demo
crat, and, wo think, Radicals too. Tho
result shows clearly that the drift of
tho political tido is in favor of Demo
cratic success in November. Ilecauso.
if Maino, with Blaino in it, loses so
heavily, what will bocoma ol thoso
Statos that gave but small majorities
in 1872 and have had no enndidato to
manipulate political affairs to suit his
personal ambition?
Heavy Guns. Gen. Goorgo B. Mo
Clellan, Gen. Joe Hooker, (Ion. Win
flold S. Hancock ; Ex-Gov. A. G. Cur
tin, of our Stato ; Ex-Gov. Blair, ol
Michigan,and Ex-Gov. Talmor, of 111),
nois, all occupied one stand at a Demo
cratic meeting, on Monday last, In tho
Stato of Indiana. The potency in this
matter, is the fact that all the Ex-Gov.
ornors were Radical "War Governors"
during the rebellion, but having be
come disgusted at the corruption rag
ing in the ranks of thoir parly thoy
have struck for Reform, sod are stump
ing Indiana for Tilden and Hendricks.
Everybody knows the Generals we
have named.
a It HAT ALA liM IX THE WEST.
The excitement and alurm which
tho Modoc and Sioux wars vuusod in
West, while they raged, did not pro
duce luilf iho alarm in Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin, that
is now manifested on'tbo part of tho
Radical leader! in thoso Blutos, because
a few prominent I'ennsylvanlans have
saw proper to make a trip across thoso
Commonwealths. The Indianapolis
correspondent of tho Now York Timet,
of tho 2Hlh ull., is greatly alurmed at
hat bo discovered. The invasion of
thoso Slules by Pennsylvaninns is what
troubles tho "Christian Slatosmon" at
Washington, and elsewhere
The correspondent In question in
sounding the alarm says :

That is a wonderful stato of affairs!
Why a few Pennsylvaninns should
alurm Indiana Radicals to such a pitch
is past our comprehension ; unions, it
is that they aro imparting the truth to
tho voters ot that State. On tho othor
band, wo havo tho alarm sounded by
the Cleveland correspondent of the
Columbus (Ohio) iS'i'ifr Journal, who
exclaims: '

Woll, that is a pretty good "scaro,"

elections in Indiana and Ohio. Why,
if a few more Poiiusylvanians would

tho Radical leaders would commit po
litical suicido. Thoy have our sympa

ntOCEKVIXCIS OF COKORESH-

The conferees of tho Twentieth con
gressional district mot at the Fallon
House, Lock Haven, on Thursday, tho
28th ult., at 2 p. m.
An organisation was effected by the
election of J. S. Rukord, President, nnd
F. O, Whitman and Eug. J.Jiillor,
Secretaries.
The following conferees wore pres

On motion It was resolved that tbo
confureos from counties not having full
representation, be allowed to cast
throo votos.
Tho following candidates for Con
gress were then put in nomination :
John Walls, of Union ; D. G. Bush, of
Centra ; L. A. Mackey, of Clinton ;
Andrew Rood, of Mifflin.
Bcforo proceeding to ballot the names
of Messrs. Walls, Bush and Rocd wore
withdrawn, when Mr. Mackey was
nominated by acclamation.
Committees wore appointed to in
form Mr. Mackoy of his nomination,
request his prescoco bcforo the confer
ence, and to request the presence of
Messrs. Bush, Reed and Walls.
Tho committoes returned with
Messrs. Mackey, Bush, Rood and Walls,
when Mr. Mackey accepted tho nomi
nation in a few well-chosen romarks,
and Messrs. Bush, Reed and Walls
mado brief addresses, endorsing the
nomination and pledging an increased
voto in thoir respective counties.
A Little Too Thin. It is givon
out by Radical authority that Ex-Sc-retary
of War Belknap, is to be crimi
nally tried for his crimes in December.
This is all gammon. Aftor tho elec
tion is good. A Washington Cityjury
will no more convict Belknap than the
twelve will agree to hang each other;
not if it were proven that Belknap had
stolon tho whole War Department,
would they convict him. Ho confess
ed to having committed every crime
oharged against him, and yet, the Rad
ical Sonnto acquitted him. Will a
Radical jury do anything vise ? No,
They dare not. The Urant-Camoron-Chandlcr
ring own the Court and jur
ors in Washington, and although "tho
Government" sent forth a telegram
saying, "let no guilty man oscape," not
a member ot tho Cabinet, or of the
Presidential family eould he convicted,

Post-trador robborioa and other crime,
which are being utilised for the benefit
of tho Radical party.

Grant, Cameron, Morton & Co. This

trict ol Columbia.
A Confessed Liar. The following
fair sample of the baseless charges
against Gov. Tildcn in connection with
his income tax :
(Fna th. New York r.'aiea, Sspi ,
Fee during tho year from tho Toledo
and Wabash Railroad Co. 115,000
From th. New York Tlmtt, B.pL II.
In Judge Sinnott's letter it is assort
ed that the Toledo and Wabash Rail
road Company never was a client of
Mr. Tildcn, and that neither In 1862
nor at any othor time did he receive
any leos from it. That wi must ac
cept A! conclusive. Proof ot our
charge was promised from authorities
in which we had confidence, bul in IU
absence that item mveI mi with-
DRAWN.
Tho Now York Timet, Is the circu
lating political medium in litis sootion,
and wo should think that the oonfea
sfon should provo heavy discount oa
the vawlty of that orgae.
OR RAT MA IIS.
Wo mean tlie Radical stumpers gen
erally. "A scholarly old gentleman,"
as he was ropreeontod to us, named E.
Joy Morris, wal broqght kll the way
from Philadelphia lust vwk, to ad
dress Iho Jisds of our cimntV. Ho has
boon fed ut the public orib lor over forty
years, and lias drawn out of the public
Tronsu ry ovor one A ttmlred ihmuana Hol
lar. Ho had the bi'ttsen audacity to
aland up in tho Court Houso and say
that thu "bruiser and blackleg," John
Morrisey, and "Boss" Tweed were the
familiar associates o'. Samuel J. Tildcn,
und that the Confederal Congress hud
turned out forty-flvo Union soldier em
ployes and appointed sixty Rebel sol
diers In their stead. Now, Mr. Morris
was awuro lie was uttering abaro-facod
fiilsohood when he used theso words.
When a man becomes 73 yours ol ago,
ho should abandon common lying and
not disgrace his kindred forthroo gen.
erntlons. Tho truth is, the lust Radi
cal Congress employed ono hundred
und fifly-lhreo persons, only uightuon
of whom wru Union soldiers. Thu
present Democratic, or Confederate
Congress, ns scallywags please to term
it, employs only one hundred and twuii
ty. three, (thirty less) thirly flvo ut
whom uru Lnion soldiers, tun Con-
federato and two Mexican soldiers.
Wo tako thoso figures from tho official
record and they provo Morris on mi
mitigated fulsifior ol tho very lowest
grade. Besides, he displayed more
malice and personal rovongo than we
ever wit nested on tho stump. In point
of falsehood and bale, K. Joy Morris is
a success, and ono of the coolest and
most deliberate ol his class. Mr. Sbup
loy, tho othor orator brought from
Philadelphia, cauio tiller Senator Wal
luce's scalp, as Chairman Ho) t termed
it, but ho was so exli.iuttrd and over
come by tho long rido that it was al
most impossible for liiin to mount the
stand, although Minister Morrisspoke
one half hour lunger than the pro
gramme called for, so as to let the Po
lice Attorney rocuporute his usual vig
or. But it was no go. it was evident
to all that ho was incompetent to tell
cither tho truth or much of a false
hood.
Usurpation. Hon. Gcorgo Ticknor
Curtis, (not Goorgo W. of Harper's
Civilisation Journal) ono of the ablest
Constitutional lawyers of tho ago In a
recent letter reviewing tho instructions
todeputy marshnls issued by Attorney
General Taft, critiuiies the acts of the
Attorney-General with deserved sever
ity. Mr. Curtis shows that in view of I
the ducisiun of tho Supreme Court pro
nouncing the election laws passed by
Congress unconstitutional, tho present
attempt to control tho elections by the
military power is a dangerous stride
toward dictatorial Hwcr on the part
of tbe President. Mr. Curtis concludes
as follows:
It B now therefore almply a tueetloa whether
pobll. .nioUn will tolerate th. enroreooMnl by
the Ezeentiv. or lawa which the Bapreme Court

The question, thoreloro, for ovory
freemen is : shall we live in a Repub
lic, or drift toward a Despotism nnder
Grant, Taft and Uayosism ?
Radical Missionaries. "The aged
and scholarly gentleman," Morris,
told us all about Calhoun, and other
things fifty years ago. But ho know
nothing about Grant, Belknap, Bab
cock & Co. We presume bo novor
heard of thoso tribes becauso in bis
two hour's speech ho did not allude to
them, although this gang of political
desperadoes had robbed him of half of
his liberty (like tho rest of ns) and
millions ot our revenue
When a Christian starts out to Ice
turo and instruct tbo hcathon bo
should tell the wholo truth and noth
ing but the truth. We hope that here
after, when those two Radical Mission
aries (Shaplcy and Morris) are sent
among us heathen they will sot us an
oxamplo for sobriety nnd truthfulness,
if they have nothing else to dispose.
"Brick" Pomoroy's paper supports
Cooper and Carey, the Greenback
ticket. Four years years ago, Brick,
Blanton Duncan & Co., kept up a side
show, ostensibly in tbe Interest of
O'Conncr; but then, a now, Radical
cash greased tho machine. Brick
Pomoroy has boon purchased by Grant,
Hayes 4 Co., just as iu 1872. Ho was
too godly to voto for Groelcy for Pres
ident, bul swallowed Grant's bribe
like swoot plums. Such is "Brick" ;
and he might bo handed a $100,000
every four years, and ho still would be
without money or Democratic princi

Pennsylvania'! Day. We have
boon on the Ccntonnial Grounds wbon
the average admittances reached 22,.
000, in August, and 100,000 In Septem
bor. It was a pleasure to be on tho
grounds so tar as numbers wore con
cerned in August; butOI the hot
weather, 96 degrees In tho shade,! It
wa tolerable in September with one
hundred thousand to bother one, but
on tho 28lb ult, Pennsylvania day,
when 2(7,286 entered the grounds it
must havo been a nuisance, so tar as
comfort is concerned, to have been
among tho number on that day.
News Up Here. Plenipotentiary
Morris, when up horo last week, made
tho stunning statement thai Gen. Bel
knap, Grant's War Minister, was a
Democrat. It ia remarkably strange
that thbi fact wa not drawn ont dur
ing Belknap' Impeachment trial.
Ministor Morris evidently pot a very
low estimate upon tb Intelligoooe ot
those he was a4dicaaiog, or hs would
nal have lit I (red thil nsksdj falsehood
A Sure Pop. The Harrisburg Pa
triot says: "The Republicans insist on
a "solid south" for Tildon and Hen
dricks. Aro thoy aware that by so do
ing they concede 138 electoral voles
to the Democracy and that it will ro
qulro only the votes of Now York,
New Jersey and Connecticut, In addi
tion to the Southern States, to defeat
Uuyes and Wheeler? When, there
fore, Republicans talk of a "solid south"
they admit the defeat of their parly in
tho Presidential election as a roragono
conclusion. For there is no more doubt
that Now York, Now Jersey and Con
necticut will cost their electoral voto
fur Tilden and Hendricks, no matter
what may bo the result in the Oelober
Slates, than that the day of election
will arrive. If the Republican mana
gers do not moan to disorganise their
party they must censo their blather
about tho "solid south" for thu Do
nun racy.
Is That Ho? A Radical exchange
says that tho soldier element which
supports Tildon, all belonged to the
rebel side. Wo hope our contemporary
will inform ns on which sldo Iho fol
lowing named individuals were found
during tho wur, all of whom openly
iippnrt Tilden und Hendricks: Major
(frnorals McClcllun, Hancock, Hooker,
llalily Smith, Slocuin, Franklin, Bart
lett, Sigle, Met'andleits, McClernund
and Moitfun, of Ohio. Tho names ol
Mushy, ilubixK-k, and Belknap, are not
on this list. They aro for the other
fellow.
"Kobrwt." "When 1 sec." says a
reflective corressmdent ol the Spring
field UepuUican, (Hayes organ,) "such
men as Butler, of Massachusetts; Rol
lins, of New Hampshire, nnd Chandler,
of Michigan, put In tho front ranks by
tho Republicans, and such men us
Charles Francis Adams, ot Massachu
setts! Robinson, of New York, and
llubburd.ot Connecticut, by the Demo
crats, then I think I am Justified in be
lieving und saying that tbo Democrats
uro showing more tit a disKisition nnd
capacity for reform than tho Repub
licans. A New Biiiut. Kansas has been
famous for bloody inventions fur tho
past twenty years. Tho last one out
ia that of Mr. S. I). Hart, Greenback
candidate for the Legislature in the
Thirty -eighth District of Kansas. Ho
has mado tho awlul announcement that
tho United States bonds aro to be paid
off in "greenbacks or blood." This is
a now sort of bloody shirt, bat proper
ly originates in tbe Stato of Kansas,
bahtizod in blood and Sharps rifles, by
Boecbor's Sunday School scholars tin'
til wart aqo. Tho achcino is Kansas all
ovor.
A Kylertown correspondent draws
a pretty hoavy bead on a clergyman
of that vicinage ; but ho informs us
Hint ho can provo a groat deal more
than he relates. Wo, thorclore, allow
bim to have his say, believing it to bo
uttorly impossible to got more out of
order than the clergyman, if only half
of what ho relates is true. A political
priest is a pest in any community, wo
caro not which party he adheres to.
Brother Thompson should be givon a
wido berth in the future. He will learn
something as he grows older.
A Re union Tho surviving mora
bora ot tbe Constitutional Convention
of 1873 had a ro-union in Philadelphia
on the 27th ult Two members, Theo
dore Cuylor and Wm. D. Baker, both
of that city died, during tho year. Ex-
Governor Bigler was re-elected Pros!
dent, R. A. Lamberton, Esq., of Har
risburg, Secretary, and a Committee of
Arrangements, with Hon. James W.
M. Newlin as Chairman, was appoint
ed, to whom the selection of tbo time
and place of the next meeting wa
referred.
No Use. Tba trial of Grant's ex-
Private Secretary, Babcock, for com
plicity in the safo burglary, is about
closing at Washington. The testimo
ny shows that Babcock knew moro
than an honest man ought to know
about the business, but the Adminis
tration will not allow him to be con
victed. You can't convict any Radi-
oal rascal in a Washington court. In
a low day Babcock will be discharged
as innocent and left at liberty to help
in tho canvass for Hayes and Wheeler.
The Drift of the Tide. Whon a
prominent leador liko Judgo Hoadloy,
of Alabama, who has voted twice fur
Lincoln and twice for Grant, comes
out for Tilden and Hendricks, the Re
publican organs call IC "returning to
his first love." When men like Adams
and Bartlott announce their intention
of supporting the reform candidates,
they cull it "desertion." This "return
ing to his first lovo" and "doscrtion"
is what will placo Samuel J. Tilden
where Linooln was put in I860.
Read and Study It. The greatest
document of the age will bo found on
our first page this week, It I Judgo
Black's Icttor to Rev. Gen. Hon. John
A. Garfield, of Ohio, and should bo
read by all men and women. Tho
clergyman, the General, and the dem
agogue, I furnished with old idoaa
newly coihed, and must bo profitted
by a careful reading of this keen, cut
ting review of a hypocrite in religion,
a buffoon in Generalship, and a dom-
agogiie in statesmanship.
Bad Treatment. From tho long
facos we have soon on our streets sinco
Wallace's scalpers left, we are satisfied
that neilhor Morrii nor Shnpley will
ever be lent lor, no difference how
many scalps aro demanded from this
section, by the Radical Stato Commit
tee.' Those two gentlemen, like Bel
knap and Babcock, wore tbe crcaturon
of n nf'ortu nale circu mstances.and while
trying to scalp thoir neighbors lost
something more than hair on their
own account whllo here.
Centennial Comforts. Thus vis
itor to tbo Centennial, who complain
ed of being crowded when 50,000 per
sons entered the grounds, will fool
more comfortable at homo when thoy
learn that 257,280 persons tramped
ovor that lorrltory on tho 28th ult., for
the purpose of looking al tbe lights on
Pennsylvania's day, Think ot it; fiv

Moody and Sankoy have broken out

LETTER FROM A REFORMED
ORASQER.
Ma. Editor: Will you give me a
little space in your paier to mako one
or twosuggoslions ? Sometime, by tho
most humble, somo good thing may
be illustrated. As tho country is now
being aroused to tho necessity of re
form, may it not bo proper for each
ono to enquire of himself, what can 1
contribute? Politically, ovory man
can and must contribute more or less
to accomplish this object, humblo a
bis condition in lite may be, by adopt
ing consistent 'and correct principles.
I may convinco somo one that reform
is nocossary n the administration ot
our Government, Having done this,
thon what should mark my course?
Should I take up the war club and use
it, or the olive branch ? Can much
good be accomplished by force, all othor
things in pointof power being equal, or
will tho calling ot vilo names begot
friendship and confidence? He that
is pure let him throw the first stone.
Do not a very large class of politician
live in glass houses? Havo not all at
some poriod of their lifetime mado
somo misstep? Now, thon, Mr. Editor,
taking the position that none are hot
ter than they ought to be, let us take
in our hand, and hold out to our an
tagonists the olive branch of peace, and
with the othor, extend to all who may
come, fraternal greetings, pointing to
tho general depression in all brnnchei
of business, except the business of dis
counts and heavy usury; a blank fu
turo, grave countenances depictod with
caro and sorrow, thoir homes, onto
happy, now desolate, and to many the
realities of bankruptcy and want star
ing them in the face, let ns in all good
ness and honosty extend the hand of
friendship and say, como Join with us
to reform, so far as possible, those evils
that aro upon us. It is worthy of an
effort A change of administration in
tho National Govornmont can make
things no worse. If we succeed, then
we will have accomplished a blessing
upon ourselves and our posterity. If
we should fail, we shall have perform,
od a dutv wo owo ourselves, our conn
try and our children. Will we not
mnko an effort to porpctuate that
which our forefathers bled to establish
and bequeath to their offspring ? Can
we do less for ours? Then let us say
in behalf of our standard bearer, Sam
uel J. Tilden, who is puxlgod to reform,
and whoso record stands out in bold
relief to all tho world, to all good and
truo men everywhere lbs laborer,
who is out of work and moan of stts
tensnco, the mechanic and the manu
facturer, and to all, como and help us,
and by union and an earnest persever
ance, reform will assuredly come, and
tho hammer, tho forgo and steam whis
tle will again make our valleys resound
with a resumption ot business and
prosperity, and plenty will bo the re
ward of our effort. Granoer.

1 am not sure that tbis calculation il
accurate, but il cannot bo very far
from wrong, and it is not equal to one
half the whole steal ; for it doos not
include the value of tbe road Itself, nor
tbo land grsnt-t, nor tho proceeds of
the bonds to which the lion oi mo
United States was postponed, nor tho
equipment bonds. As this swindle was
thu largest, so il was one in tne mutt
inexcusably base. It was perpetrated
at a tiiuo when tho nation was swamp
ed with debt, wbon the people wore
loaded with luxes, and when tbe moat
rigid economy was imperatively ro
onired. All circumstunces, as woll as
the direct evidence, sbow tbutit wasno
sudden act of thoughtless imprudence
bul wu wilfully, deliberately and cor
ruptly pre-arranged and dotormined.
Tliero is nothing to mitigate il; you
cannot defend it oven by waving tho
bloody shirt.
How did the Republican party 'pun-
isb its own rascals" in this cose? -Not
hair on tho bead of any rascul was
touched. On tbo contrary, thoy were
promoted, honored and udvunced ; tne
most guilty oi mom are now, us urny
wore beliire. the very darlings of the
purtv. Even that ia not the worst of
it. These swindler sro periodically
swelling the colossal proHirlions of
their crime by Inking out of ihoiruus.
ii rv additional millions wnicu inoy
claim as tho "precious result ot Uicir
original fraud. They havo no bettor
title to them limn a woll hu lo a mill
ion ho slaughters by moonlight. Tho
legal remedy ugainst tliew) exactions
is no plum that Ignorance mono room

loiiud out tbo way not to do il. l'hey
permit the government lo llodo.cn und
bo nibbed meiiii-unniiully, by a form
ation which Tilden would long ago
have disarmed of il powur,and whose
criminal abettors ho would have swept
into the penitentiary by scores.
1 repeat that I do not blamo you as
an aelivo accomplice in tbis wicked
ness. But you ought to have come out
from the evil and corrupt fellowship as
soon as you saw how evil and corrupt
it was. You owed it to yourself, to
your church, and your country, to
break off at onco from political asso
ciates capable of such indefensible con
duct. But your acceptance of tho
doctrines planted at Plymouth by tho
Yankee blinded your judgment and
mado your conscience inaccessible to
tho principles planted in Jerusalem by
tbo "pooplo first called Christians al
Anlioch.
You would have us believe that
Hayes, if elected, will reform abuse
and give us a pure administration.
Your statement and that of other gen-
llomon equally reliable, mako il certain
that Mr. Hayes bears an irreproacha
ble character in all his private rela
tions. I do not doubt his possession
of that negativo honesty which it is a
disgrace to want. I accord bim those
tame household virtue which ontitlo
him lo the respect of bis neighbor and
the confidence of his family ; but he ean
no more stem the torrent of Republi
can corruption than he can swim
against the rapids of Niagara. His
whole history shows that be would not
even make an effort to do so. Ho bas
been most happily called "a man of
tried subserviency.
A reformer in theso times must be
msde of stern material. He must have
no connection with, and be under no
obligation lo, the author of the abosos
which need reform. Abovo all things,
he must not have consented expressly
or impliedly to tbe commission of the
public, wrong which bis duty as a re
former would require him to punish.
Wbon he oomos to oppose wickedness
in high places, tbe consciousness that
he bimseit in pan delicto will make even
a strong man as nerveless as infancy.
To show how hard it would be fur a
man liko Mr. Hayes to resist the worst
ot oi own party, 1 will cite a case di
rectly in point, and certainly within
your recollection as well a mine.
Id the case of Milligan, you made
an eloquent and powerful speech be
fore tho Supreme Court for those free
principles which I, at tbe time, sup
ported in my weaker way. Yon show
ed tho indestructible right of every
citiaon to a legal trial ; you proved
Magna Charta did not perish on tbe
balllo field ; you demonstrated by ir
resistible logio that tbe constitution
was supreme alter the war as it was
before; you spurned with lofty con
tempt tbe brutal idea that law was ex
tinguished by tbe victor of tho forces
called oul to delend it ; and you closod
with that grand peroration on the
Goddoss of Liberty, which, if spoken
at Athens in tho best days of her
"fierce Domocralic,"would have "shook
the arsenal and fulmiued ovor Greece."
These wore not tho words of a paid
advocato, fur you had volunteered in
the cause; nor the sudden words of a
neophyte, for you had road and pon
dered the subject woll. You spuke
tbe deliberate conclusions of your
mind, and there It no doubt thai in
your heart of hearts you believe them
to be true this day.
Yet when tbo reconstruction law was
proposed you suffered yourself to bo
wuippoa in, surrendered your con
sclencotoyourparty.and votodagainsl
j our recorded convictions, lor a meas-
uro that nullified every provision of
me constitution, whoroby ton millions
of people were deprived of right
which you know to oe sacred and in
alienable.
It tbia was your case, what subserv
iency may not be expected from Mr.
Hayes, wbon the party lash comes lo
be fuid on An back f l' ou ar his su
perior in every quality that holds a
man truo to publio duty. You have
boon carefully schooled in tho morality
of tho Now Testament, yon bavo lived
all your lite in the full blaaa of tbe
gospel, you aro gifted with a logical
acumen which low can boast, and with
moral oourago far above tbe average
It you full down boforo tbe Moloch of
Abolitionism, and gave op all princi
ples at once, wbat act of worship will
Hayes deny to that grim idol?
Speaking of reconstruction and seo
ing your broad accusation oi treason,
I am tempted to ask if you ara sure
that you yourself and your associates
did not commit that crime.
In March, 1867, tho then existing
government of the Union was supremo
ail ovor tbe country and ovory State
had a separate government of its own
for the administration of its domestic
concorn. That government was en
titled then, if it ever was, to the uni
versal obedience of all citixens, and
you, ita officer, bad taken special
oath of fidelity to it. Nevertheless,
you made a deliberate arrangement,
nol only to withdraw your support
from it, but to ovortbrow it totally
in ten ot the Statos; and thja you did
by military one, In all the (South you
levied ur against the nation and against
the defenceless Stale, destroyed tb
free government of both and anbsli
tutefln their place an qntompered and
abwolat despotism. .
Now suppose yoa bad been Indicted
for tbis now eould you have escaped
the condom nation of lh law T I know
your excuses and I nan andorstand
yonr claim! to m.rcy bot what legal
defenoo could yoa bav mad eopaiit-
ent with youf own argument and the
decision ol tho court in tbe Milligan
enso ?
1 cannot doscribo to you bow un
pleasant ia tho sensation produced by
your professions of a desire for peace.
Why do you not give us peace IT you
aro willing wo loan nave iv f
need bul to cease hostilities and tne
general tranquility will bo restored.
You rufuso lo do that, becauso peace
would ondiingor your party ascenden
cy. To maintain your piunuers in pow
er you havo uniformly rosortod to the
bayonet you navo main cmi armo
ehronlo condition or the country
wherever you could have displaced
liberty, fraternity and equality, and
given nothing instead but infantry, ar
tillery and cavalry. You are at this
moment openly engaged in preparing
your battalions for armed Intervention
in tbo struggle of tho people with the
carpetbaggers.
What make this worse is your clos
ing declaration that you will take no
stop backward. There is to be no re
oeiitanco. noobangoot policy, und con-
ntiquently no peaceful or honest gov
ernment. "Onward" you say Is the

ning ut lust w eek, September 2tilh. In
point of number,lho meeting exceeded
ull tormer L'Uthorings ot a similar kind,
when no special otlurts were made to
gather up a crowd.
Tho meeting was called to ortlor by
Israel Test, Esq., Chairman of the
County Committee, who prefaced the
proceedings wiin a lew weti-uineti re
marks. On motion of Captain McKier
nan. of Gulicb, Dr. J. W. Putter, ol
Kailbntis, was elected President ol ihe
meeting. The Doctor, on taking his
scat on the platform, asked to bu ex
cused in tho speech line, nnd return
ing thanks to those present fur the
honor conlerred, tooK Ins seal.
Mr. Humphrey, of Lawrence, then

Mr. James Kerr then moved that
Tbo. A. Hoover, of Curwonsvillo, and
A. J. Jackson, of Clearfield, act as Sec

The meeting being fully orguniced,
Chairman Test arose, and alter a few
preliminary remarks, introduced John
U Byrne, Jvsq., ot v ilmingvon, Dela

personally known to a number of our
citisens.
Mr. O'Byrno is ono of tho most pop. j
ulur slump apcukera wo have, as well
as one of tho ablest lawyers of Phila
delphia or Wilmington. His spoecb
was a grand effort when compared to
tho antidcluvian effort of Morris and
the gushing failure ot Hhapley, the fol
lowing evening.
M r. O'Byrne, besides bo'ng a scholar,
ia a fine orator of tbe truo Irish char
acter, who has nothing to conceal, and
utters the toolings of his heart in pub
lic, as freely as in private conversation.
We hope lie will visit our county ollen
in tho future.
At tho conclusion of his remarks,
Wm. M. McCullough, Esq., our nomi
noo for District Attorney, M as culled

his usuul ability, to draw a picture of

uncomfortable for tho member of that
party who were present. At the con
clusion of Mr. .McCullough'. remarks,

LETTER tROM MORRIS.
Kylertown, Sept. 20, 1876.
Editor Republican. Dear Sir:
Thinking it best tbat the"grentevents"
ol every community should bo record
od, not only, foe the information of
those Immediately interested, bnt that
thoy may ba preserved for tbe future
use of the historian, I thought I would
write you a brief account ot a max
meeting, of tho Republicans, hold at
morrisiiaio nines, on tne l-tb insk, at
which I chanced to be present At
rather a late hour of the evening, tho
meeting was organised by choosing
tho Rev. Thompson, pastor in charge
of a congregation hero, as President.
1 he meeting was then addressed by a
Mr. Arnold, ol Curwonsvillo, whosovtn
od anxious' lo socuro some Democratic
support for hi patty, whom he ac
knowledged was sadly in noed of re
cruits to savo them irom disaster, and
aa an inducement to join the ranks of
mo Cameron legion, he compared Til
den with Tweed and shook tho "bloody
shirt," alter wbieb he gave way to the
reverend President, Thompson. He
commenced by apologising for tbo
lateness of the hour, but proceeded to
say that all dishonest, bad people be
longed to one party and thai was the
Democratic party. He said that ha
had never known bnt ono preacher
that was a Democrat, and bo had ran
off with another man's wife, and that
he and Whcelor were both from Now
York, and, wore it not for the lateness
ot the hour, be would toll them of tbat
great and good man, but that on some
future occasion ho would "fill them full
ot him." He then requested all present
to go home to their wives whom hs
hoped wore all good Republicans, and
if they wore not they wore not fit to
be wivoa.
Now, Mr. Editor, If tbis reverend
Radical, who boasts of coining from
tho aamo State as Mr. Wheeler, be of
the same class, we, of Morris township,
don't want any Wheeler in our, lor
the reverend' conduct on this occa
sion was as disgusting to tho greater
part oi mo itopubiioana present aa to
the Democrats, and 1 would suggest
that if your County Committee ha
any funds to spare in hiring speakers
fur this campaign, they could no', make
bettor use of it than by hiring this rev
erend Radical to stump the county for
n ayes and w neeier, as bo made a num
ber of convert that ev.ning who will
votd for Tilden and Hendricks. A
far a his future in this community is
concerned, i tninR bo has baked his
bread in a cold oven.
Truly, A Listener.
Just Lire Them. It now turns out
that th Radical Assessor in PhllsdeV
phia have jumped 30,000 names on th
Registry list! of that City. That
number of name are fictitious and
ara pot on fbr the purpose of repeaters
who will vote five or six limes, giving
a different name at each election win
dow. Of such I Radical rule.
The Test. Tbreo Slat, Indiana,
Ohio and Watt Virginia, vote for But
officer! on Tuesday next The party
carrying two of thoao Ktate on that
day, will elect tho next President,
Mark th prediction.
