A Potent Petition. Fourteen

Hayes to removo tho negro, I'rcd

that there was a sanguinary ongago

In Asia tho principal featuro this
week uas been tlio partial withdrawal
of tho Itussian right wing and tho
closer investment ol Kara anil liatoum,
Tho total ltussian force available for
active operations in Asia Minor is
about 140,000. Of theso .10,000 aro
around Kara, 30,000 between Kara and
Ualoiim, and 30,000 between Kara and
tho lino of liayazid and Toprolt Kale,
thus leaving about 40,000 for ihocentro
against Mukhtar Pasha's 40,000 In
strong positions.
Theso figures show that tho Itus
siuns havo no mcu to sparo if they in
tend to keen tho country thev havo so
far occupied, though if the'ir object
wero simply to effect a rapid advanco
and defeat tho Turks ns a preliminary
to peace, thero is nothing to prevent
their doing so.
Tho Russian telegraphic agency in

by a Kuropean congress. Beyond
tlicso points no engagement has been
undertaken. Tbo assertion that Rus

sion of pcaeo to applying tho rsolutiqns
adopted by tho late conlerenco is there
fore, incorrect."
Great anxiety is felt in tbo host in
formed diplomatic circles in Berlin
concerning tho relations between Kng
land and Kussia. Iliobeliel is gam
ine; L'round that Russia is determined
to tako such action as will force Eng
land to doclaro herself definitely. At
present she is neither at open war with

Princo Bismarck, it is known, is
strongly in favor of tho Gortschakoff

indication of tho sido Germany will
tako in tho ovent, which is regarded as
very probablo, of tho war oxtending.
Butler's "Mr Dear Pitkin." Tho
Philadelphia Times, in alluding to this
Louisiana "bloody shirt" agent says:
"Tbo President deserves thanks for
kicking 'My dear Pitkin' out of tho
ofllco of United Slates Marshal for
Louisiana. Pitkin is a great fraud,
Gcnoral Butler says ho 'wore the bluo;'
but ho did not disgrace that cloth un
til he had disgraced the gray by cow
ardice at Shiloh and was treated to
tho cold shoulder by his comrades in
tho Southern army. Ho was Kollogg's
and Packard's most pliant tool, and
was detailed by them last fall to turn
tho crank of tho outrago mill. Ho in
vented Eliia Pinkston and palmed her
off upon confiding Kclloy and tho near
sighted Sherman. Ho scoured tho
Louisiana cancbrakes for witnesses ol
political intimidation, armed and equip
ped them with affidavits and paid
thorn with the money of tho govern
ment. Ho devised tho plan ot pressing
Union soldiers intoservico as copyists
for United States Commissioners in
order to gel tho Sherman report and
accompanying junk-shop material bo
foro tho Senate and tho country as a
backing for Returning Board villainy.
It is gratifying to find (hat Mr. Hayes
is disposed to cast audi deadweight
adrift. Ho might havo easily found,
however, a better man than Jack
Wharton to tako his place. Wharton
is a gentleman of convival habits and
considerable popularity In conBcrpicnco
of his ability to tell a good story; but
ho hasn't much of tho stuff that cntors
into tho composition of good civil scr
vico officers.
A Sad View. A Pittsburg paper
bowails tho futo of that excessively
loyal city, In theso words: "Tho City
Fathers giro it up. Thoy have mired
Pittsburg's financial standing, impair
ed its credit, dishonored its obligations,
and brought it down to the lovel of tho
bankrupt carpet-bag govornmonta of
tho South. And thero thoy leavo It.
Tho Financo Committee of Councils,
with nearly two hundred thousand
dollars of ovcrdtio interest pressing on
it, resolved nothing could be done, and
things must tako thoir conrso, what
ever that may bo. Wo judgo it will
bo a levy by tho United Stalos Marshal
on city funds or property to satisfy tho
ciedilors. Our wonderful Clly Attor
ney exhausted his law books In dis
covering the city could not levy a spo
ciul tax to meet its interest. It Is in
deed a serious question : Whoro aro
wo now, and whilhor aro wo drifting?
There's no joke about It I" That's
sad wall to come from the Capital city
of tho West, which has been rulod ex
clusively for many years by "loyal
men" inflated with "grand moral ideas."

to render his naino equally as notori

Decoration Day was tho time fixed to
derelopo the true meanness of tho crea
tine who has successfully imposed him
self upon tho people In tho shapo of a
statesman (?) for many years. But his
timo is up. This last effort confiscates
tho Groton man. Tho l'ost disposes ol
him in this way :
Boutwell had another bilious attack
at Barnstablo on tbo 3fllh ult. Ho
must havo fought bo hard and received
so many wounds in tbo late war that
ho refuses alike to forgot and to heal.
As ho looked at the fresh flowers
strewn on tho graves of Union soldiers,
ho declared that tho two last amend
ments to tho Constitution wero in
poril, and that ho (eared luo peril is
every year increasing. No one has
touched them yot, however, but a Re
publican Supremo Court, and Bout
well doubtless wants a seat on that
bench lor his "judicial mind," to show
thorn how to interpret. Three States,
ho said, instancing Mississippi, South
Carolina and Louisiana, "liavo been
seined by armed minorities," and he
says it is "a precedent full of poril."
As a peril diver, so to speak, Boutwell
is far from a success ; ho doos better
as a diver for sponge His melancholy
wail is that humble citiiens aro de
prived of their right of suffrage; but
if a dozen years of reconstruction ex
periments havo secured nothing, what
would be tho sense, according to any
but tho lloutwollian logic, in thoir con
tinuance. Tho Groton sago lays down
one broad proposition, namely, that
the minority must submit to tho ma
jority, or clso thoro is an end ot con
stitutional government. Docs be real
ly mean all that? If so, ho would
have employed bis timo woll, sinco ho
must indulge in a political harangue,
in denouncing tho fraud that put Hayes
in tho plaeo to which a largo majority
ol tho Stato and tho ponplo elected Til
den. But no bilious man ovor sees his
conclusion from his premises. Bout
well is simply a sorehead, and ho has
no belter taste and no more soul than
to advertiso himself as such on an oc
casion that warranted nothing of the
kind. Ho was in the land ot whale
men, and ho naturally thought of blub
ber. Having provod himself such a
startling financier, ho thinks ho will
now attend to tho Constitution, llo
shows himself an good a Judge as he
was General, and ho imagines himself
to bo Turgot and Turenno rolled to
gether. The Last HmiitL'n. An excellent
opportunity is afforded for those who
lack tho requisite capital for a colossal
smash liko that of Daniel Drew and
A. B. Stockwcll, in a circular from
Bradley & Co., bankers and commis
sion slock and gold brokers, of Now
York city. Thoy kindly offer to en
gineer a pool which they call "a combi
nation ol capital," in which shares are
placed at tho very small limit of one
dollar each. This firm has seen for
somo timo that tho poor wero kept out
of tho maelstrom ol Wall street solely
for tho lock of capital with which to
embark, and they, thoreforo, proposo
a combination of tho poor so that they
shall have all tho chances of a Jay
Gould, a Tracy or a Travers. Sond

will buy stocks for you. Y'ou pay
them six cents and a quarter lor every

lor every sharo they sell. 1 f y ou lose

five per cent. more. You turn your

Just as long as there Is six and a quar
ter cents left out of your dollar they
lake it, but it they should happen to
make anything they pay you the
profits less five per cent. It is the
heaviest percentage known in any
schomo of gambling, and' if you can
not loso enough in any other way this
soems to bo tho schemo to try. The
circular shows that the supply ot Hies
is running low, but it also indicates a
thinness in the quality ot tho molasses
which may perhaps bo traced to tho
warm weather. Times.
Garfield Lies. If what tho news
papers say bo truo, tho lion, and Rev.
James A. Garfield Is givon to lying.
Ho denies that Mr. Hayes ovor wroto
him a letter asking him not to bo a
candidato for United States Senator
against Stanley Matthows. Several
witnossos say positively that such a
letter was written, and somo of them
saw and read it. Tho reverend and
honorable gentleman's word would go
farther now if ho had not slrotchcd
tho truth on a former occasion. Ho
denied having owned any Crodit Mo
biiier stock, and said in his sworn
denial :
"I borer owned, received, or agreed tu receive
any atoek of th Credit Moblller or of th I'nlon
Cicifle railroad, nor any dlvidenda or profita
arltlng from cither of then."
Nevertheless, whc.i Mr. Poland's
committee investigated tho matter, It
roportcd among other things :
' Ho, (larlleld, ageeed with Mr. Amca to take
tea aharc of Credit Mtbilier atocIA butdld not
pay for tho una. Mr. Ante received Ilia SO per
oenL divided In bonda, and cold lhm for 07

Garfield is hardly a creditable wit
ness In his own case.
Still an Unsettled Fhohleu.
When tho votes of Louisiana for elec
tors went into tho hands ol tho Re
turning Board tho majority for Tilden
was 7,876. When tho votes wont
through the manipulations of tho Re
turning Board acting under tho advico
ol Sherman-, Garfield and Kclley and
under the protoction of Federal bayo
nets, tho fraudulent majority for Hayes
was made 3,931 a chango ot 11,807
votes. When tho votes lor Govornor
went into tho Radical returning mill
tho majority for Nicholls was 8,040.
When tlicso votes cams out of tho
fraud machine, tho majority for Pack
ard was 3,510 a chango of 12,550. If
Ltayos wan legally entitled to tho elec
tors of Louisiana on these figures, Mad
ison Wells and his Radical backers
cannot understand why Packard is not
tho legal Governor. It is a hard
problem to solve but Huyes has done
it." Well, It is a pumlcr, and many
aro unable to solve it, but wo bay no

Tho Doyleslown Vtmwr.it puts tho
removal of the troops from tho South,
in this way :
"A good .many reasons havo been

of tho troops' from the SlaUi Houses of
iiTa a-i'i Louisiana,, rni,
i. cm i lue Aj ! I mu.i
that in doing this (ho President viola
ted tho known principles ot Ins party.
Un waa iml only not pledged to do
what Mr. Tilden would havo dono had
ho gut tho seat ho was elected to till,
but ho was bound in honor to do tho
other thing. Now why ho went coun
ter to tho well Buttled principles of tho
party that nominated him has passed
comprehension with a great many peo
ple of both parties. Wo bvhuvu wo
can give tho reason in a few words:
It teas because the next Congress trill
have a Democratic majority. Here lies
tlio milk in tho political cocoa-nut.
The "Southern policy," so called, was
tbo direst necessity to tho administra
tion. The credit it. is entitled to, for
rouioving tho screws from South Car
olina and Louisiana, can bo put into a
cat's horn and not half fill it. A few
days attor the adjournment of tho last
Congress, General Shorman mot a dis
tinguished northern member of Con
gress to whom ho criticised pretty
freely the refusal of tho llouso to pass
tho army bill. After somo conversa
tion, tho member said to tho General,
if tho troops aro not removed from the
Stale Houses at Columbia and New
Orleans before Congress meets in May,
you may expect to see the straps taken
from your shoulders, tor Congress will
voto lor no money for tho army. The
General asked (ho momber if ho was
in earnest; yes, ho replied, in solid,
sobor earnest. Thoy parted and tho
troops wore removed. Is any mani
gtimp enough to beliovo that tho troops
would havo been removed it the now
Congress would havo a Republican
majority? Wo hopo there aro nono
of ibis shado of greenness."
Judue Black's Review. A Wash
ington telegram annnnncos that Hon.
Joremiah S. Black is not through yet
with tho eight by seven Commission,
but is now engaged in tho preparation
ot a severe review of tho Klectoral
Commission and ol tho Supremo Court
Judges who decided in favor of Mr.
Hayes tho cases for tho Commission.
The article, which is designed forono
of tho mngar.ines, is said to havo been
revised byjustico Field ono day last
week at Judgo Black's residenco at
York, Pa. Another dispatch informs
us that a Mrs. I'us-ott is engaged in
painting full length life-like portraits
of tho Klectoral Commission, as an his
torical memento. This may be so, and
necessary, so far as the seven aro con
cerned; but tho infamous eight aro
already so fully impressed in tho minds
ol all honest men, that renders this

cnvolopo and stamp manufacturer, usod

foro-brcakfast, and Oukes Ames gavo
him a f 1,200 check monthly, for tho

which ho acquired whilo presiding in

Sunday School lessons, and it will be
well onough lor our boys not to imitate
Schuyler's crooked ways
Insurance. Wo clsowhoro allude
to the insurance business in a general
way. Hero wo only wish to call tho
readers' attention to tho report of the
Lycoming Mutual, which does consid
able business in this county. This
company last year collected ofT the
pcoplo tC85,082.93, and paid out (or
losses 503,507.02, leaving a bulanco of
nearly forty pir cent, for commissions,
expenses, etc. Besides, tho company
has J93.4 13.33 on deposit In tho First
National Bank, of Muncy, probably all
tho bank's capital, and yot the ofllctrs
have made ono of' the largest assess
ments this year that they over made.
Now, who is willing to go Into
business and havo his capital found
and realize out of that capital forty
per cent ? That is just about what
mutual insui unoo costs tlicso days,
when men who loan their own capital
cannot earn half that sum.
Patriotism WinkinoOut. A Wash
ington dispatch 13 tho Philadelphia
Times, says : "Under this administra
tion fivo and probably six foreign mis
sions havo been declined by dis
tinguished citiiens. Goorgo Wil

"The government's" Southern policy

ho offered to sell (ho wholo world whon
ho did not havo a titlo to a foot of soil,

that would produce. No "rcbol yell"
could exceed It.

ing to incite now troubles, at tho very
moment that tho people are relying on

commercial disaster."
After Ben. Butler, thoro is no greater
fian J than Forney. The former, in
deed, when properly assigned, did
show somo pluck when war came, but
tho latter did all his fighting by
substitute. Hence, ho should be el
bowed aside by his party like Duller,
unluss he is purposely ongugod to
break up tho Radical party. If that
is his duty, ho is doing the country
somo service after all. Politically, bo
is a dead beat, and his fulsome praise
of Hayes at this timo is all "put ou" for
tho purpose of plunder, and if not
allowed to do this, then bo will botray

Decoration Poison. A few parti
san bigots, who bad been accidently
selected to deliver memorial addresses
on Decoration Day, violated (he (rust
confided to them, and waved "tho
bloody shirt" as valiantly as thoy did
on the stump last fall. Gon. Jesse
Morrill, of Lock Haven, was among
the number who decorated the ground
upon which he stood, if his closing re
marks are correctly reported in tho
Democrat. Ho threw a wet blanket
ovor the graves of tho dead, when be
stepped aside and gave utterance to
the following Radical stump text :
"But all has not been done that should
have been done Tbo armed Rebellion

still grouing and bringing forth fruit.

Mad Literary Results. Just pre
vious to tho adjournment of tho Legis
lature, last Winter, a committee was
appointed to interview or examine our
penitentiaries. The Wardens of tbo
Eastern establishment bavo furnished
tbo committee some damaging facts
relating to our education. It appears
that nine out of every ten of the con
victs are what wo term educated, and
"smart," but thoy never learned a
trade. Tbe Woi dens say that something
must be done to make trade education as
dignified as Intellectual labor, and in
this way decreaso tho number of con
victs. This phase of tbo case is a
terrible satire on our "free school
system," and shows clearly that a
moiilul education without muscular
effort is a failure and void of moral in
tegrity. Hence, the filling up of our
prisons and penitentiaries. There are
some screws loose somewhere, and
they should bo tightened up.
Radical PlloTonRAPHERH. The Rad
icalism of Ben Butlor and Wayne
-MacVeaghcannot bediscounted. Thoy
are orthodox in all thoir sayings so far
as their party or themsolvos are con
cerned. Butler represents MacVeagh
as an ass, an idiot, a fabricator of false
hoods, marrying for money and despis
ed by his wife's relations while wait
ing lor dead men's shoes. MacVeagh
portrays Butler as tho leier of our
politics, who has disregarded tbe eighth
and ninth commandments until no one
who knows him will believe anything
he says against anybody. Two strik
ing portraits, truo to tbo life. Wbo
aits lor tho next picture? Now, II
some "coppoibead" had painted this
picture, what a hugo likenoss it would
do considered cy loyal men. i)ut as
those Radical elders tell what they
know, it must bo true.
IIatisisvi. This is the way the
Boston Traveler, a number ono Radical
organ weeps over the fate of its party :
"What moal both oonlampt which Hamptoa
and llutler rl fur Hya and tbatrucnlent Cab
inet 1 "Will tbay luv the iraaeos, they dee
pie th traitor," and 11 1 common to bsar them

Thai it will b n bow tb South kaa gained
thirty-Ivt Congroeamen, and the eama number
il tb Electoral College by tb Mifranekiemenl
of th negro, wht now falli nadr Dianerli
control."
From tho tono ol this squib, It is
pretty evident that thore is some "con
tempt lodged In Boston as woll as in
South Carolina, and what is bettor
still (ho ediUir in question, in alluding
to tho ultimato result, tells the truth
fur once and thereby exposes the
blunder his party has made in the re
construction business.
An "Example." Tho advocates of
capital punishment base (boir chief
argument on example, with a view of
terrifying those who are disposed to
commit murder. A Phila. "rough"
and prominom local politician, named
Flotchor, was bung last week for kill
ing a fellow-man. Ono ol hia "cronies"
who was present and witnessed the
"eye for an eye," etc., murdered one of
his asssociatos the next day. Tho
Times in alluding to the crimo says :
"Tho strangled body had not been con
signed to Ibe grave before our city
was tho ftcono of another mutdor, (ho
victim being, as in the Fletcher case,
a fireman. Tbe wboleicmo influence
of hanging a man Is not very appar
ent under thoso circumstance." Reader,
reflect.
Criel. The editor of the Philadel
phia Times, in alluding to tb post
ponement of the extra session of Coo
gross, says: "Probably the reason
Hayes postponed tbe extra session ol
Congress from June to the 15th of Oc
tober, wsj from a consideration of th
fact ot Mr. Blaine's liability to sun
stroke during the hot season,"
Mr. Pierrcpoiit is sotting an exam
ple of ostentatious oxtravaganoo
which ill becomes tho reprosentativo
of a republic. Ho is lavishing bis mon

(but Londonors don't know what to

Bloodv Simht Morton. Tbo In
dianaolis Sentinel ays : "Evidently
Morion is dying, llo looks pale, bas
a waxy complexion. Ho is on bis last
legs. His mind scums to be weaken
ing, llo lacks vigor. If he can raise
the devil in the South again ho muy
revive and exhibit bis old time vin-
dietiveness. But tho indications are
that he will be called upon at no dis
tant day to wrap the folds of his
bloody shirt around him and pass in
bis chocks.
Old Sitting Bull Morton is not tho
"big Injun" bo used to bo. Wbon ho
lectured at Indianapolis, on tho 9th
mat., there wero less than ono bun
died people to listen to bim. This,
notwithstanding he was among his
own pcoplo and tho lecture was for a
charily. Think of as big a man as
Morton lecturing on as large a topic as
the doctoral college before as small an
audience as one hundred, w rite leiia

The Real Criminals. Tbe New
York llVld commenting on Senator
Boutwoll s speech Bays : " 1 he criminals
with whom the people have just now
to settle a tremendous account are not
tho authors of secession in South Car
olina. They are the aiders and abet
tors of Mr. Boutwell, who have made
ten years ol peace more terrible and
more disastrous to this country than
five years of civil war.
Severe iRosr. An exchango soys:
"Tho Governor of Rhode Island has
written a letter to Mayor Stokloy ol
Philadelphia, tendering to that city
iho Rhode Island Centennial Building.
A careful measurement of tho struc
ture showed that it could not be put
up in Rhode Island withdut infringing
upon the soil of Connecticut. Hence
a resolution by tbe R. I. Legislature
to give it to Philadelphia.
Tho current paragraph to tho effect
that General Wade Hampton carried
the dead body of his son Preston from
the field while the hattlo of Petersburg
was still raging is incorrect. Wade
Hampton, Jr., now living in Mississip
pi, was riding with his brother when
tbe latter was killed, and carried tbo
body to the rear. General Hampton
did not know ol his bereavement until
