anco for the austenanco of its popula
tion. On tbo other hand, wo should
not be bliud to the fact that the lum
bering interests have been saruly tried
and crippled during the past four years
of dullness and depression, r'rom 18(52
until 1873, a period of eleven years, the
lumbering trade was in tho height of
its prosperity, and during all that pen
od of inflation, almost cvory one en
gaged in it was apparently doing a
prosperous and profitable business.
But thedisaslrausfinancial panic of Sep
tember, 1873, and the consequent stag
nation in all branches of Industries,
started a reaction with a steady de
cline of values, and tbe shrinkago in
all character of property was so groat
that none but tha strongest engaged
in active business were able to sustain
their crodit or preserve themselves
from financial ruin. Tho manufactur
ing and producing capacity of the
wholo country, stimulated by a decade
of expansion and extravagance, was
rapidly increased far beyond the real
necessities of its consumers, and just
hero a lesson is pointed out that should
be carolully heeded, and tbe effect of
over production bo avoided in tbe fu
ture. It will bo remembered that tho
financial crisis commenced in Septem
ber, 1873, some time before operations
commenced in tho woods for tho com
ing season, and had our own people
then fully appreciated tho true state of
affairs, and curtailed their operations
as they bave sincd done, much of tho
disaster that followed would havo boen
averted, and the ruinous decline would
bavo been checked as soon as it reach
ed a reasonable basis tinder the chang
ed condition of commercial affairs.
There was no leadimr branch of intlus-
try in so favorable a condition to sus
pend a portion of its production than
tho lumbering business, at that timo,
Its operators bad susluincd no losses,
and with noothor capital invested than
the cost of their land, or the valuo ot
thestumpago; with no cosily build
ings, machinery or improvements that
were better running at a loss, than
rusting or rotting in idleness.
Until tho Spring ol 1S74, eight
months after the crisis set in, there
was no over stock on the market, and
prices opened and were maintained at
but a slight decline from the previous
Spring, until about two-thirds of the
stock of square timber was disposed of.
Tbe market then came to a stand still,
mill-men relusing to mako further pur
chases; owners and dealers were com
pelled to carry over the balance of uu
sold stock, and from that point com
menced tbe decline and losses of tbo
producer, dealer and manufacturer. It
is now obvious that bad the stock for
1874 boon cut down, our lumbermen
would have realized fair prices for all
tbe stock taken down that year, and
been saved from the lose of many thou
sands of dollars on the stock carried
over, as well as saving tho eastern buy
ers and mill-men from the groat loss
sustained by them in cutting out their
stocks on a rapidly declining market,
and prices for subsequent stocks would
bave furnished somo reward insteud of
tho constant and steady decline in
prices that followed, and are now so
low as to scarcely pay the labor en
gaged in preparing and taking it into
market, and would have insured sate
on better payments and less doubtful
pa pvt.
Owing to the conservative policy of
many of tho largo operators in dimin
ishing production, togothcr with a lack
of Ircsheta to run a considerable por
tion of the timber raited last season,
tho eastern dealers and mill-men have
worked off tho greater portion of tbe
old stock, leaving the market compar
atively bare so far as Susquehanna tim
ber is concerned, and wero it not tor
tho yellow pine produced along tho
south Atlantic coast, that bas been
flooding the markets of tbe North,
seeking at ruinously low prices an out
let for its surplus stock, large quanti
ties ot which bad botoro been consum
ed in the South American States, thero
might be soma reasonable prospect of
un improvement in the white pine
trade.
If the policy of light stocks should
be persisted in a year or two longer,
thero can be no question but that it
will result in a speedy return of better
prices. bile thero bas been no ma
terial advance in the price of sawed
lumber, or bill stuff, yet, It is the opin
ion of experienced operators that the
bottom has been touched, and a
healthier trade is in store, should prop
er prudence and caution be exercised
But our people should not be misled
into tho idea ot realising increased
prices for the present, particularly
with an increased stock ; for while it
is true tbe market is somewhat rcliov
ed of its surplus, yet, its limits have
been wonderfully contracted during
tbe last few years.
Tho necessities of the people all over
tho country bave driven them to the
most rigid economy , and improvements,
both public and private, are almost an
tirely suspended, rurchasos are on
ly made from actual necessity, and the
competition among buyers has almost
entirely ceased.
From Lock Haven to llarrisburg,
out of eightoen bill mills running fonr
years ago, only aix are now left in the
trade, and we believe among former
ouslomora east of Port Deposit, the
proportion is even greater; so that
more than two-thirds of our old cus
tomers hare either auspended or gone
out of the business, together with the
faot that while there have bejo aotne
alight Indications ot ft revival in basi
nesa, yet, so other great ataplo baa

Tue munufactiiro of bill timber and

tho railroad at convenient ioints, and
the refuso lumber mow wasting in the
woods would bo mnnutacturud into
various articles at a profit, and the
money paid for manufacturing now
dono away from homo, would bo kept
here. Tho bark of the hemlock alone,
that yearly dies as tho pino is cut out
and the land cleaned up tor cultivation,
would pay the interest on tho cost of
constructing such a road, besides, the
valuu of tbo land for agricultural pur
poses would be greatly enhanced and
rapidly taken up and improved. The
mineral resources and great undevel
oped coal fields of tho southern end of
the county would be utilized, and a
western connection would soon follow
that would be advantageous to the
whole county and stimulate many
other enterprises outside that of lum
ber. We would suggest to our friends
up the river, thut now is as good a
tune as uny to start a movement in
that direction, for if a railroad will
ever bo of uo or benefit to them, it
will be before their lands are stripped
of the timber, and the population be
come too much impoverished from the
want of it to ever be able to assist the
enterprise. Meetings should bo called
and the subject agitated, followed by
an organization of active men, and
through an organization negotiations
for assistance may bo opened with
other railroads that will bo equally
benefited by ils construction. If cap
ital sufficient cannot be secured to con
struct a road of the ordinary guago,
thon build a narrow guage road. They
aro cheaply constructed, overcoming
boavicr grades and shorter curves, do
ing their work satisfactory wherever
they havo been built, both for the
transportation of passengers and heavy
freights.
The experience of the past lew years
will, no doubt, provo of real advantage
to this county. The low prices realised
for lumber has had tho effect of in
creasing tbo acreage pf cleared land,
and a general improvement of that bo
toro cleared, and the aoil heretofore
neglected for tbe sake of tbe moro
profitable b linoss of lumbering, is
now being made to produce its fruits
lor tbe support of its population, and
its productiveness, under intelligent
anil judicious treatment, has boen con
clusively demonstrated. The liabilities
contracted during tho inflated period,
are being slowly and steadily reduced
by economy and porseverance, so that
we have every reason to beliove that
in a very few years we will cmergo
from the hard times in a healthier and
more substantial condition than wbun
we were so apparently prosperous nn
der fictitious values.
Investigate Tho Pittsburg Tele
graph, is not exercised quite so much,
over Congressional investigation, as
the averago Radical organs are. Tho
editor comes to thissonsible conclusion :
He says: "We do not observe anything
very criminal in the resolution of Mr.
Wood, inaugurating a wholesale inves
tigation into the conduct of Govern
ment officials in Washington. Inves
tigation ia a good thing, notwithstand
ing the melancholy murmurs of some
of our contemporaries. Officials or
parties who object to being investiga
ted and all their acts mado public, stand
in need of rigid Investigation, and peo
ple who investigate merely for the pur
poso of persecution, always get tho
worst of it. Let Mr. Wood's invosti
gallon go on, and if there is any dii-
bonosty in official places to be uncov
ered, let the lid be lilted by all means
and as promptly as possible. Dishon
esty in all quarters must bo stamped
out. Tbe ends rather than tbe means
should be a mattar of solicitude."
A Thoughtless Kxecttive. The
Governor of Xovada neglected to
issue a Thanksgiving proclamation
this year, and, as nono ot his constitu
ents reminded bim of tbe omission, tho
State kopt the day and ate its dinner
unofficially, llisoxplanation isavery
simplo one. It did not escape bis mem
ory ; he knew that it was his duty to
bring Providence and tho Common
wealth into the proper relations ; but
the printing fund was short, and he
was afraid that tho newspapers would
not publish tho proclamation except
as an advertisemonl. However, a smart
law student Informs ns that a dc ado
Thanksgiving is Just as good as ft it
jure one, and Nevada seems to havo
had as happy a Christmas and New
Year as Pennsylvania.
How Tiietoot Their Farms. Tbo
Ottawa (III.) Timet says: "Some lime
go the citiaens ol Mendota were sur
prised to learn that ft married couple
who bad apparently lived In peaco and
harmony in Illinois, bad been divorced
in Kansas. Tbe mystery ia now ex
plained. The husband had a homestead
of ICO acres of fine farming land, and
there was another ISO acres adjoining
not yet taken up. The pair were di-
voircd, tbo widow entered tbo vacant
quarter section, and established hor
claim as the head ol a family. When
this was done the pair wero remarried,
and now have a tine farm of half a sec-
lion."
IiEMAaKABLE ir Taut. Tho oditor
of the Fitteburg Telegraph gets this
off: "Il ia a habit with the Chief Jus
tice, when he administers the oath of
offloe to tho President to note the
verse which ia touched by bis lips, and
Judge Waite baa just now disclosed
tbe fact that when President Hayos
kissed tbe book be performed a gonlle
osculation upon this passago: 'They
have oom passed me about) yea Iboy
have oom passed me about, but in the
name of the Lord will I destroy them.'
These things have alwaya been con
sidered prophetic."

over one third of tho South American

hull of tho population ol that sub-di-
vision of the earth, although thero are

tains a population of 300,000, an J is lo

longitude 43. Wo are thus minute
tor tbe purpose of giving ull our read
ers who may hnvo a desire to learn
something about this tine country, to
examine their geographies and "look
it up."
Another Straw. Win. E. Chand
ler, Secretury of the Iladical National
Committee, has written a long letter
on the eight by seven transaction. He,
this high priest, declares thut Hayes
was counted in. Thus, ono after an
other of those whom tho gods wish to
destroy, become mad. This feature ol
heathen mythology is as true as the
needle to tho polo. Chandler "bossod
llio Florida job," und stole the electors
of that Slato from Mr. Tilden, and
banded themovor to Hayes. He, liko
Sherman, and the rest of those who
had committed grand larceny, went to
Hayes tor his pay. lie wanted to be
mado Minister to Spain or Italy. Mr.
Hayes bad promised theso places to
Ohio men, and could not accommodate
tho New Hampshireite in thnt way.
Chandler cf course got mad, supposing
that Ohio had received enough of thu
steal," and straightway writes a long
letter ox,)CMing tho fraud. Had he
turned State's evidence while tho eight
by seven were in session, bis testimo
ny, liko Oukes Ames' cash, would have
boen put where it would huve done
"the most good," His revelations come
too late. Hence we are compelled to
chronicle tho fall of another great Ilad
ical leader before a gun was fired.
Tdev I'ear Investigation. The
reform movement inaugurated by tho
Democrats in the last Congress, makes
it necessary to proho still farther after
the frauds visible wherever a door
opens into a department of the Federal
Government. To this every Iladical
Congressman is opposed. Tho efforts
in tbo llouso to tuko un inside view ol
publio affairs, is sternly opposed by
those who aro awaro of tho crooked
work behind tho scenes. But other
and higher purposes are to bo subserv
ed by such an inquiry. God and tho
people bate cowards and knaves, and
tbey must bo dragged to tho sin face
before jtistico and integrity can be sub
stituted. More: Data for proper ro
ductions in appropriations aro to be
sought, useless officers are tn be abol
ishod and supernumeraries on tho pay
rolls of tbe various departments aro to
be dispensed with, and the leaks of
various kinds through which the pub
lio money is filtered into wasteful chan
nels, must bo stopped. In order that
Congress may act intelligently in ap
proaching theso reforms, tho proposed
investigation is proper and necessary.
Yet every Radical opposes the invosti
gallon. Why should an honest mnn
fear to bavo his account overhauled.
Impeach Him. Such is tho demand
mado by some since Chandler has
turned State's evidence. 1 1 might he
easy enough to draw up articles of im
pcachment against Hayes on the no
cusution of Chandler, if only lor the
amusement of tho thing. Hut it would
bo much moro satisfactory to punish
tho rascals who stole the electoral vntos
of Louisiana and Florida. As long as
Weils and Chandler enjoy immunity
from punishment, tho title of Hayes
will not be disturbed. All know thut
Hayes is In possession of tho stolen
goods, but bo did not steal them ; Sher
man, Chandler k Co., did that part of
tbe job, and until they aro indicted,
wo say let Hnycs alone if be commits
no further crime.
Mourneul. About thodeadesl Jud
ical yet, outside of a sarcophagus, Is
tho Hon. (?) Wm. K. Chandler, of Ne
Hampshire, lalo Secretary ol tho Rad
ical National Committeo. The Chair
man of the snmo Committeo, tho other
Chandler, is nearly ns dead, although
be has not yet turned State's evidence.
These things mako us feel poetic,
when, perhaps, we should mourn lor
tha heroes that aro fulling around us.
Our ditty under theso depressing cir
cumitanco will therefore bo short :
"One by on tho rocoa fall."
And tbo winter not very cold at thut.
A Great Chanoe. An exchange
says : Six years ago the Senate of the
United Slates was Ilcpublican by a
majority ol jnst fifty. In a single Sen
atorial term the majority has melted
down to two, counting with tho He pub
licans Sharon, who is never in his seal,
Paltorson, who belongs lu the peniten
tiary, and Conovor, who puts his voto
where il will do himself the most good.
Tho declino of Republican power has
boen auddon and startling; but it is
bard to explain. Grantisrn did much
ot it, and Hayos and Fraud are rapid
ly doing the rest.

Il'V PROTEST.
Wo leel offended at the conduct of
our Democratic Congressmen. A low
days previous to the adjournment in
December, Representative Wood intro
duced a resolution In tho llouso, look
ing to un investigation of tho frauds in
the several Departments of the Govern
ment. It was well known thut every
Hadieal member would oppose the red-
olntion because of the fatal effect pro
duced during the last Congress, when
the War Department frauds wero
brought to light through Mr. Clymer's
committee, and Secretary Belknap was
driven out and dingraeod. Our Radi
cal friends want no more frauds un
covered, if they can prevent it. Hut
wo are digressing. When Mr. Wtiod
culled np his resolution, it was discov
ered thut many Democratic members
had scampered off homo und loll the
vole so close that ha bad Io let il go
over until the reassembling of Congress,
on tho 10 lb, instant. Consequently,
ibis resolution was tbe first business in
order after a quorum of tho members
was present on tho 10th. Il Is morli
fying for us to record tbe fact, but we
want tbu public to know it, that out of
tho 153 Democrats elected to Congress,
only 99 answered to their rvames, and
out of the 140 Ruilicals 101 answered,
giving them a majority of lino, in a
House where the Democratic majoriiy
should have been thirteen. Tho resolu
tion indicated was saved only through
tho strategy of Mr. Wood, by bringing
about an adjournment of the House,
until the next day, so a.i to allow the
straggling Democrats to gel into tbo
Chamber, This failure of tho Demo
cratic members to be present on the
occasion indicated is nearly as gross an
outrago as stealing a President. We
want no moro of such conduct. If
some of our Democratic members havo
too much privalo business on bands to
attend to their public duties, let them
resign and stay at bomo, rather than
to offend their constituents in this dir
ty manner.
.SECT10XAL HATE.
The Now York Tribune last week,
gavo .Mr. Hayes a black eye and strikes
out boldly to revivo sectional hatred
In tho utmost of Its ability. For ex
ample : t
-Wbr ii ibe South soli 1 r tamu-e the South
ia hungry. Bui why ia it lohdly Doiaocrutifl t
Uo -aure II ean una the Ilemoerelie party sa lit
feedlroujrh. Denoeratle Tletory aaeaa- tbe food

niakeo aheolute'y noee-iary u Republioen North
Tbe blamo of -Ottiuna iiui roiiauith tboaa whoia
lit upon s solid Houlb. Aa tooe; as the men of
that aertloB ojaee demands upon the puHie Trees
ury wbieb threaten baneruptey, aa long a, Ibry
araall tbe efndit of tbe nation by their roioe, so
louf there oaual be a sulid North."
First, the South was made solid by
a combination for self-protection. That
section was overrun by a band of poll
ticul freebooters and brigands, who
pillaged thai seelion for twelve years,
and tho property owners organised and
have locked a largo number In the
pcnileiiliurles and the rest have taken
flight up North, just ns so many wild
geese in Spring timo. Notwithstand
ing this acquisition of voters, thu North
ia becoming aa nearly "solid" as the
South.
Secondly, if tho North becomes solid
ly Radical, il can only be done by res
toring good government and prosperi
ty, and by placing honest men in office,
and in this wuy imitate the South, If
this is done, wo shall not object. "The
blame of sectionalism rests wilb those
who insist upon a solid South." Fur
bruzen impudence this exceeds any
thing wu bave ever seen in print. Be
cause the buuthm-n people insist on
good government, and prefer gontle
nien to thieves and robbers lor officers
and rulers, they must be menaced and
annnoyed, That is all this bloody
shirt organ means.
Stubborn Facts. Recorder Hack
ett, of Now York, on Friday aonionced
George Robinson forstealing law books,
or attempting to steal thorn, from ex
Gov. Tilden. He Is reported as using
tbo lollowing languago: "George Rob
inson, you have pleaded guilty to grand

of stealing law books from the office of
Mr. Samuel J. Tilden. Now, it was
despicably mean for yot to steal from

'I'lto nrgiitnenl lu this case pending
before the Supremo Court, closed on
Thursday lust, Wa dud a i-yiiopsis ol
Senator Wallace's argu moot in Kriduy's
issue of the Philadelphia I.el(Ji r,m fob
lows :
The argument in I license of .Martin
V. 'J unior the Cuniiniuiwoallh, be
fore reported, was continued yesterday.
Henutor Wallace look up his assign
ments of error in detuil, und in an ex-
hbiiutivi wav
bliutiril WSV tirCHcntvd litem tn tlie
upon llio churgo ol ihe lower cuuVl, in
which thu jury were told thirty one
innos mat ihuy mint be $alajitd, must
believe the evidence to be Mtitfwturii,
must buvu tutisfiwtion us to llio guilt ul
Ihe accused. The tine ol thu words sn-
tfn-jM, .vxtWorfv. .tulw.fitrtton, without
qtiulitying words, were claimed tn have
been error, tho law requiring thai the
jury should he ronvtneett, not nntinfteil.
"beyond a reasonuolu doubt, of the
guilt or innocence of the uccusud. The
action of the Court in charging the
jury substantially liiat it required a
greater quantum ol evidence on the
purl of I be uccused to prove an alibi
than was required of the Common
wealth to provo that ho was ul Will
lams' on thu duy of the murder, und did
commit tho deed, wus ulsu severely
criticised.
Concerning thut pin t of the Court's
charge which spoke of tho munulao
luro ul testimony as an eleim-nt, alter
the failure id iirool of an alibi, to be
considered against the prisoner, Sena
lor Uulluce sMiku at length, contend
ing tliitlsuch instruction virtually took
away from thu prisoner tho bouofit ol
the (loiiln ho was entitled lo upon this,
us well upon all the other branches ol
tbu caie. In commenting upon this
point, ho spoke as follows:
1 ho Court aavs iiiion tins subject :
''An alibi, if proven, t onstliulns a com
plulo duleuue. If ilia not proven and
you ihink il is not, au attempt to man-
ulacture evidence is a circumstance
which always bears against tbe prison
-No innocent person Is driven to
niunui'ueture evidence." This part ol
thu charge logically means if Turner's
ilibi lulls ho muiiulaclured evidence
and therefore be is t guilty person.
I bis is gross error from every stand
point, and worked great injustice to
tho prisoner. First, because il is a
stulcmenl from the Court to the jury
Ihut, llio alien lading, tho truth ol the
Coininonwt-allh's allegations is there
by admilled. Second,- the defendant
might manufacture evidence and atill
he innocent, and this faot wuuld bo a
circumstance to be nonsidcrcd by the
jury, but is not a matter of law upon
which they wero to be Instructed.
Third, thero was no proof that Turner
manulacitired testimony ; tlierclorothe
Court was in error; and I6iiilh;a fail
ure to prove an alibi ia not proof of
guilt, ns substantially staled by Iho
Court.
('onlmRntilln, noon that rart of tho
charge which held the prisoner to a
higher degree of prool than lhal requir
ed ol the Commonwealth, and which
virtually threw the burden of proof up
on him to eoiublwh an alibi, Senator
Wallace contended that the burden ol
proof was, in law, upon the Common,
wealth, und that the allegation ol an
alibi was not a plea which put Ihe bur
den of prool on the prisoner, but mere
ly a traverse ot Iho Commonwealth's
allegation, and still left the prosecution
tbo lubnring oar, to prove that the pris
oner "did kill and murder," as alleged
in tho bill ol Indictment.
lie argued further that it was not
sound law for tbe court below to bold
that tho defenco must affirmatively
prove an rr ? 1 6 1 as a fact from its own
exclusivo testimony, and contended
that it was the law upon thut question
that all the testimony, as well upon
tbe part ot tho Commonwealth as aon
that of tho defence, was lo be consider
ed by tho jury. And if tho jury was
not satisfied ol tho proof of iheaiiAi'ua
a fact whirh entitled tho prisoner to
an acquittal nKin tho high ground of
innocence, then the fact that the testi
mony of the defendant ana tho Com
monwealth bearing on that point was
sufficient to raise in the mind of the
jury a reasonable doubt as to the alio
gallons oi tbe Commonwealth "that
the defendant did then and there kill,"
mnst opernto to the acquittal ol tbe
accused.
Upon the wholo question of the alibi
and tho charge of the Court concern
ing it, Senator Wallace aaid: "The
wholo of the evidence upon Ihe alibi
was not given to the jury at any one
lime or in any one pan of the cbargo.
Tbe prisoner was held to full proof;
affirmatively, of hta allegations that
the Commonwealth's affirmation that
'be did then and there kill,' is nnl true.
In other words, the defendant is held
in affirmative proof of a negative. Il
our proof failed it was held a fact to
infer guilt from, and tbo doctrine that
tho whole caso is to bo taken into con
sideration In determining the question
of guilt or innocenco is nugatived. The
uourt, in answering my itnirtn potnv,
hnlds that wo must provo tho ii6i 'as
- Area tmnlljr Incompatible with guilt.'
1 hat, we contend, is not so. Witnesses
may so testify npon our side as to
raise a doubt as lo the prisoners pics
enee at the scene. This hi enough in
law for an acquittal. The jury may
not be satisfied that he was there or
not there from inferences drawn from
the whole proof. This is enongh. One
proof brought to bear npon tho Com
monwealth s prool may cause tho jury
to reasonably hesitate. This is enough.
And all these are proots other than
'proof of a fuel totally Incompatible
with guilt. II a litct 'totally incom
patible' wero proven, the prisoner
would be acquitted on the high ground
of innocence. If our proof raises a
reasonable doubt upon tho material
affirmation of tho Commonwealth I
that ho did kill,' tbe prisoner would
bo acquitted by reason of the reasona
ble doubt npon a vital part of the c ase
of tho Commonwealth. The remain
der of tho arirumcnt was devoted to nn
elaboration of tho remaining assign
ments of error as to the leuutilv of the
sentenco of the Court below, and as to1
the forms and wording of tho bill of
indictment. 1
The speaker deniod that tho prino
nor could be bung upon the sentence
pronounced against him by an "Addi
tional IjBW Judge, who had no con
stitutional power io try plena of mur
der in a double judicial district, as
Clearfield county undonbtly was, and
wno, in sucn cases, la an officer un
known to tha Constitution.
At the conclusion of Senator Wal
lace's argument, Thomas It. Murray,
tv-q., began the argument for the Com
monwealth, answering the points of
the prisoner's counsel, and citing large
ly from anlboriliua to anstain his own
views of tho case. At the adjourn
ment of Court be was still speaking.
When the Court will render ils de
cision in tbe case, no one la able even
to conjecture.
C'osirosTifto the Konntioi.tiiRs.-
Tho Cincinnati Cummi-rcitif consoles the
"bloated bondholders" in this way:
"Wo have not complainod of tho bond
holders. They are as a class innocent
of tho trick of demonet icing silver.
That was done by a few experts rcpro-
aunling speculators and tho Interests
of the great money lenders of Europe.
Our bondholders did not knnw what
was going on any more than the mem
bersuf Congress who passed the crook
ed legislation, and tbe President who
wrote his name in tha place pointed
out, and did not knew what It meant."

Wo eo it stated in several of our ex

bo is accused ol'i'iideiiturnig to liiunip

sincere conviction thai aoinelliing lo
the udvuulago of tho party Is going to

war of the rebellion, when ii was a

those who lake exceptions to Senator
Wallace were, when lie wus acting as
Chairman of llio Statu Committee and
using every exertion to keep the puny
in tact, as luditl'ereni about success us
if they ditl nol belong to the party.
Wo remember, too, when Col. Barr, of
tho Pittsburg Past, stood like a gran-'
110 wall against the surges of Radical

and those who should bavu put their
shoulders to the wheel and helped him

wish now to be regarded as leaders,
were skulking behind the covering ol
a mean and coward ly neutrality. Il

Those who sought the sunshine
while iho Democratic party was pass

onis lofind fault with those who dared
lo stand, enveloped in thu durkness of

should come lo the front In mock
humility, and if you seek Icadershin in
thu pany, lei them do it with becom I
ing modesty. Veterans who bear the!
