Thoro is no wouldn't moro annoying
or tllHtwtroiiH lliuii lliut ol' local Jiv mions
and the tlolity oucuniunud by tho ambi
tions of rural dwtrirt candidates. May
we not with confldeiito appeal to our
friends everywhere to cullivalo union
and harmony for I lie suko of tho eaueo ?
May wo not uoufi.iT.iily appeal to am
bitions to set naide their pornomtl hopes
for tho present in order that tho inter
ests of their grout parly may bo ad
vanced ? Will not district coiiterences
heed tho appeal to nutko nominations
with nil possible promptness, looking
alone to tho intoronts ol their party in
the great battla that Is Impending T
This is no time to imitate tho misera
ble wretch wbo ran into tho rejoicing
and tumultuous ranks of Washington's
army after tho surrender ol Cornwa
vociferously socking pay fir somo beef
supplies. Oflleo-loving ambitions
should content themselves now with
the singlo political purposo of rescuing
tho country from tho hands of tho
thiovos and marauders who havu rob
bed and oppressed the wholo public fur
years past unci who fight for success
now only that they may continuo to
glut their plundering propensities.
The poople are heavily taxed terri
bly oppressed by tho measures put in
force and by tho corrupt practices ol
thoitopublicun leaders and office bold
ers. They hnvo robbed and are daily
plundering tho publio in every form
that wicked Legislation can sanction.
If successful at the next election they
will not only continuo their luxurious
practices, but they will (through tion.
Grant) lasten un absolute dictatorship
upon the country. To accomplish
these direful ends money will bo most
lavishly spent and every species of cor
ruption to influence elections will be
resorted to. As a fuel In point, we re
fer to the well known event that tho
Republican Legislutuio created the
oflleo of Recorder in Philadelphia, with
fcos that will aggrcgato the enormous
sum of thirty to fifty thousand dolj
lars annually, to bo collected from tho
public, for no other purposo than to
furnish their Statu Committee with
funds to carry the elections I Thoro
has bcon a largo amount of just such
Legislation. So systematically has this
practice been carried on that tbe poo
plo are mado to turiiiili the defeat
themselves at elections by corruption
and fraud. 01 this Legislation the
hordes of off! to-holders, tho exorbitant
salaries ol all ufllciuls, tho Recorder
bill, Kiskeniinetas appropriations, etc.,
aro living examples.
May wo not therefore nppeul to
tho friends of relorm of nil chows
every whoro to cease petty internal
struggles, to surrender pcitonul ambi
Hons to the good of the cause, to frown
upon division and discord, and to pro
moto union, harmony and consequent
strength and vigor by every means in
their power ? Publio interest as woll
as patriotism demands it. Let all come
to the rescue, that all may participate
in ina coming triumph, buvo your
onorgies and fighting power for tho
common foe tho plunderor and assas
sin of the public interest and the rights
of the people.
F0L1T1CAL TRAGEDY.
Tbo proprietor of tho lialtimoro
Gazette sent a representative over to
Washington tho other day to look up
things, and bo introduced himself in
this way :
" What aro you doing down here?"
queried tho Gazette man of Gicnernl
Duncan S. Walker, as ha invaded the
quarters of tho Congressional Demo
cratic Committoo, at tho Houso end ot
the Capitol.
The General waved his band trium
phantly in tbo direction of a tublo full
of exchanges, and asked wholhcr wo
had seen a copy of Dan Voorboos'
oponing gun at South Bend.
"But whon does business begin hero?"
persisted the Gazette.
" About tho 5th of August we'll have
tho wheels greased and then trouble
ill commenco," tho acting pilot re
plied. 11 You seo we have been put
back by tho absenco ot most of our
mon on special work. Blackburn, the
Chairman, has boon kept at Now Or
leans ; John G. Thompson is busy in
grooming Thurman for the opening
fair in Ohio ; Banning is on tho Mili
tary Commission, and McDonuld is
taking a hand in tho Indian fight.
Hard times ahead for Voorhoca, I'm
afraid ; State so badly gerrymandered
that il must go Domocrutlc by at least
10,000 if wo are to get tho Legislature.
Blackburn arrives on tbe 5lh sure, so
be telegraphs, and Thompson will ar
rive a dny or two later. Those are the
two we need."
" Things looking well as fnrns beard
from ? "
"Yes; can't complain. Don't know
where to put tho Nationals, that's tho
trouble but they cut both ways."
"North Carolina all right ?"
" Woll, it'g a Vanco-Morrimon fight
down there ; that's all. Tboy both
want to come to tbe Senate We'll
get the Legislature and a Democratic
Senator suro enough, wbichover way
that fight goes ; and I believe we'll get
that other district, because Brodgen
will run independent against the negro
that ran away with iho Republican
nomination in tho Third, arid that will
throw tbe thing our way."
" Few Nationals down their ?"
" Yes, that's so ; but it's a stand-off.
Some placoa wo loso most and other
places the Republicans. 1 don't look
on that aa much, if any, of a disturb
ing influence in that Slato."
"And South Carolina?"
" Well, we understand that Ihe Demo
crats down thoro i.ilend to run the
campaign on exactly the platform of
1870, which elected Hampton, namely,
lull rights to the negro and conserva
tive government. If thoy do, we'll
aweep the Stato. Krcntally we'll not
only have the contested casoe now
pending, but In addition we ought to
retire Smalls and Rainey at least
They got about 1,200 or 1,400 majority,
and have no organisation at all. Tbe
esse with Cain, the nogro, ia different.
He got 6,000 majority, and will be hard
to boat Still, the nogrocs are pretty
well weaned over under Hampton, and
will wheel Into line ; 1 think, perhaps,
in enough to give us even Cain's dis
trict. Close districts in the North,
where the Nutloiiala come in to upset
. '.Cul'.,lilaUoe....,f,lv .y the anxiety."
'""W.f tS Jvm.' (UUKWJ aVa
cumpalgn ?" was asked later of an at
taches ot the Ilopublicun Congressional
Committee.
"To the South and Ohio, Wo'ro
working up our way. Somebody will
have to stund from under. We're just
about through with assessments on
largo oflleo holders,Collectors, Kovenuo
officers, io. This money Is nearly all
in now, und we're waiting for tbo Gov.
eminent Clerks. They're slow as the
wrath of (loil, but they'll have to come,"
About this time the lion. John J,
J'uttcrsoii, Senator from South Caro
lina, shot r cross the horicon, and wus
signuled :
" Sonator, Halo says bo's going to
capture lots ol districts down your way
this Fall?" '
" 11 1 1 " responded tho pious John.
" I like to hour these fellows who never
sat down on a political pin-cushion in
their lives, trying to figure out majori
ties on paper for places they don't
know anything about. Why, lxird,
look at It I Just look I Haven't they
got tho wholo thing in their bands
down there in South Carolina ? Tho
nigger knows where his bread Is but
tered. I tell you Hale and his crew
of mathematicians will wonder where
all Iho lightning csme from whciiHiey
wake up alter tho election and begin
to scratch around for Republican voUs.
Talk uboul senJing old Muilin Town
send don n in South Curolinal" und
John luughed till his hat tipped over.
"Would they kill Murtin in cold
gore f "
"Kill him? Notabitofit. In the
first pluce there wouldn't be anybody
to advertiso him or anybody else that
wont down to speak. I tell you the
party is dead. There's no organisa
tion. How aro you going to get a
crowd ? If he can secure an appoint
ment tho durkies will be told to keep
away, and tbo Democrats will attend
und laugh tho old man down, and he'll
flare up and make a fool of himself.
Wo have a fine corpse on our hands in
South Carolina, thanks to Hayes.
Don't behove we'll hold a single dis
trictdon't seo how wo can."
JS IT ALL SMOKE t
Tho Republican pupers, championing
the great fraud, " pluy on the harp of
a thousand strings," in season und out,
thai tho Potter Committee has devel
oped nothing new, and Ihe investiga
tion hus turned out a luilmv. Of,
course they know better, for oven their
own column, in the imperfect reports
of testimony sent by the Associated
Press, contradict their conclusions. It
is true the I ti. lt. of Louisiana vote for
Hayes wus known and conceded by all.
candid men, no uiutlcr hat their poll-1
lies, but the precise methods of the
luroony were only guessed ul. The
Potter Counniltec hus changed u 11 this,
and given us solid facts in placo of sur
mises. That is tho greatest service it
has done. We anticipate from the
Commillvo a presentation of the testi
mony and a report that will go into
history, as conclusive that Hayes was
made President by fraud, force, lorgory
and perjury. That will be tbo verdict
of posterity.
Just before the adjournment of the
sub-commiltce at Now Orleans, an im
portant witness, who had occupied
posts under the Stato Government of
Kellogg to give him abundant oppor
tunities to know all the movements
and intentions of tbe leaders, National
as well as local, was called to tbe stand.
He was Mr. Thomas H. Noland, and
he testified as follows :

Most of the facta related by this
witness have been familiar to tbo pub
lic sinco tho Presidential eloelion, but
they derive importance as coming from
a Republican who beld three offices of
high trust under the Kellogg Govern
ment, who enjoyed tho confidence of
tho mnnagors .in Louisiana, and avhoisueh lorgerios.
personally officiated in the manufactur
ing of affidavits. Mr. Noland makes
it clear that tho Republican leaders
know tho State bad votod for Tilden,
and then organixod tho conspiracy to
falsify the vote. Pittiburgh Post.
NOT 1IERDICS WAY OF
THINK IS G.
Tho editor of the Philadelphia Kecord,
having rend Peter Herdic's lamenta
tion on business, unbosoms himself in
this way :
" One of tho coolest performances ol
tho hot term la the Issuance of an ad
dress to the people of Pennsylvania
from Mr. Potcr llordic, of Williams
port, upon tho causes of the financial
depression In this country and the
remedy for it Mr. Hordio is a pontic
man who had enjoyod remarkable op
portunities of making monoy, but has
not boon able to keep the money he
made. Many of the opportunities were
of more than a dubious sort Tbey
wore mado to his order in the shape of
Act of the Legislature. The boom
monopoly and other Legislative crea
tions of doubtful utility filled Mr. llor
dic a pockets while they depleted the
pockets of other men wbo were equally
entitled to Legislative favors but wore
not ao braaen in ask ing for thorn. The
speculative era of the war gave an ad
miring country many Hordica, who, in
their turn, undertook great enterprises
on capital of brass, for want of a
better basia. The Herdio who now
assumes to instruct the people of Penn-
aylvunlu boa been one of the lucot
postiforous of bis class. His reputation
as a lobbyist at Harrisburg is not In
ferior to the worst among tho men who
ualvem it no disgrace lobuyjindsell
XfgveVuAfl." -ji'(rtKTf) jV If
bermon of the West Branch Vulley,
owing to his malign influence and
activity, have been crippled in their
business by an oulrugeoua boom lax,
lor the reduction of which thoy vainly
struggled. Tbe city of Williamsport,
through his bad management and cor
nipt influence in the Legislature, Is
loudud down with a debt for which it
bus not received value equal to twenty,
fivo pnr centum of the gross amount.
Tito examination o! Mr. UertUv'.nkffaiw,
consequent on his disastrous fuiluro,
shows an amount of confusion und
recklessness that is inconsistent with
busiuess ability, or even with ordinary
prudence and forecast, Tho flush
times of paper money expansion
allowed many rude adventurers to
swim along on tbo great tido of credit
who were unublo to run a corner gro
cery upon a legitimate basis. Mr.
Herdio was a banker and a munulao
turor of many things, from hemlock
lumber to rubber overshoes. He built
street railroads and hotels and project
ed watering places. Ho did not dr
thoBO things wilb bis owu money, as
tho result shows, but with tho money
and property ol others, tie was a
famous buyer of lands and heredita
ments, and a famously slow puycr.
The margin between purchases and
his payments and tbo fine revenuo de
rived from his Legislative franchises
constituted his cupital. His debit were
always certain and substantial ; his
properties extended, mixed, doubtful
yet unpusing. His success, to those
who knew the man and what ground
he had to stand upon, was, indeed,
something remarkable. Doublless the
miserable toadyism of tho public press
assisted him somewhat in bis business
career which resembled nothing so
much as piling one egg-shell atop ot
another until the whole tumbled into
ruins. His new venture in the role of
a statesman is heralded by the Phila
delphia Timet in laudatory phrase,
although tho Times knows that, what
ever may be bis opinions, Mr. Herdic
is competent to put them in Bhape lor
tho press. Although tbo argument
fur a return to a system of paper
money expansion is a rehash of the
worn-out platitudes of tbo Greenback
ors ; although its so-called facts are
shown to be the merest fancies, and
its reasoning a delusion, yet, such as it
is, Mr. Herdic never wrote it. It is
doubtful if bu understands it, or cares
to understand it With a quick oye
for the weuk points in human nature,
j he perceives thnt the cry for moro
greenbacks is a popular one in this
line of distress, and that il serves him
the double turn of excusing his busi
uess emburrassmciit and enabling him
to muko a political martyr of himself.
It is said he wants to go to Congress,
If ho cun again entrap tho people ol
Lycoming county into trusting him,
they will richly deservo all tho load of
misfortune he has nut upon their
shoulders."
HTiM T HAS BEEN PRO VED B Y
THE POTTER COMMITTEE.
Tho Potter Committee have proved,
beyond successful rjbuttal, things be
lieved to be truo, but not absolutely
proven to be truo before, to wit: That
the Electoral votes of Florida and
Louisiana, which were given to Hayes,
belonged to Tilden. Leaving tbe State
of Florida out ol consideration, which
no honest man will deny to have been
stolen, we will take np Louisiana. As
to this State the Potter Committee haa
clearly proved :
I. That a conspiracy was entered
into by cortain Republican loaders, the
object being to hold no election in East
Feliciana, Grant, and other Democratic
parishes.
2. That the fact that no Republican
votea were cast in East Feliciana was
not due to intimidation, as alleged, but
was owing to Anderson's advice to the
Republican leaders net to vote, as it
would have a better effect than all the
affidavits that could bo produced.
3. That for a period of two days
after the election the Republican lead
era admitted that Tilden and Nioholls
had carried the State by a heavy
majority.
4. That when It became evident that
the oloction of Hayes depended upon
tho result of tho Stato, deliberate pre
parations were made for the purpose
of defeating tbe will ol the people as
expressed at tho polls.
5. That in pursuanco of this plan,
protests, forged and altered to suit tho
occasion, were made for the parishes
ot East and Wet Feliciana, whereby
a Dcmoorutio majority of 2,800 was
changed to a Republican majority of
500.
6. That the Supervisors ot the above
named parishes were prevented, by
promises of reward mado by John
Sherman and others, from exposing
7. That the 27th day of November,
when tho Returning Board proceeded
to sum up the result of Its labors, it
was discovered that while Packard
and a Republican Legislature wore
elected, Hayes waa defeated.
8. That after the above date, and In
order to secure the Electoral vote for
Hayes, forged protests were made for
Richland and otbor parishes so changed
aa to increase the Republican vote.
9. That affidavits bearing fictitious
names and the names of dead men
were manufactured In the Custom
Uouse, and upon such affidavits vari
ous Democratic polls were throwa out
10. That the acta above recited wore
known to some of tho Visiting States
men and received their approval.
11. That the Eloctoral vote of tbe
State, as counted bolore the Houses of
Congress, waa a forgery.
12. That John Sherman, now Secre
tary ol Ihe Treasury, and at the time
the personal representative of Mr.
Hayes, was guilty of eabornation and
perjury.
13. That the loading parties neces
sary to a oompletlou of the fraud wore
promised by blot protection and re
ward. 14. That the fraudulent President in
fulfillment ol Sherman's and Noyee'
promises has rewarded with office
every scoundrel connected with the
great crlmo in both Florida aod
Louisiana. '
15. That Stanley Matthews, a Re
publican Senator from Ohio, and Joa-
tice Harlan, a Judge of the Supreme
Court, had guilty knowledge of the
fraudulent transactions by which tbe
vote of Louisiana was stolon, and per
sonally iuturvedud to reward and pro-
10, That Senator Morton and Gen
oral Garfield, both members of tbe
Electoral Commission, knew when thoy
voted to count tbe vote of Louisiana
for Hayes that U was both fraudulent
and a forgery.
17. That Sunatur Kellogg, who as
sisted at the forgery of the Louitwna
returns, has since been guilty of aecrot-
ing tbo witnesses.
18. That not one of the criminals
who assisted to perpetrate the collos
sal crime of the age his been punished ',
but that all but two numbering over
a hundred have been provided with
offices by Mr. Hayes' direct order or
request, and in some cases by and
through bis continued and persistent
interference.
With few exceptions thoso facta are
proved, exclusive of the testimony ol
either Anderson or Weber, notwith
standing that tbo Committoo has only
fairly entered upon its task. Washing

TI1E SILVER DOLLAR.
Until within a day or two John Sher-
mun bos beld the legal-tender silver
dollar tightly in bis fist and has refused
to sell it except for the purchase ol
bullion. Banks could only get It by
paying gold for it and those at a dis
tance from Philadelphia and New
York were compelled to pay heavy
freight charges besides. Under this
stutu of facts the gold ringstvrs and
friends of gold as an exclusive legal-
lender ruised tho cry " the Dollar ol
the Daddies" would not circulate,
Democratic Legislation, however, haa
compelled Mr. Sherman to order the
Assistant Treasurers to pay It out on
checks and in disbursements on pay
rolls. Ho has also authorized its ex
change for small notes, greenbacks and
National Bank notes in small amounts.
Silver dollars will also be sent free of
charge to banks whore the Govern
ment has deposits. This is giving the
silver dollar some little cbanco to get
into circulation ; but so little, that it
will disappear as fust as it reaches the
interior States and the WosU. Wore
froely paid out by the Government
tor all expenses It would soon become
tho general circulating medium for all
purposes of change under fivo dollars,
and would no doubt at once become
par with gold, as it can now be nsed
fur all purposes so far as the people aro
concerned that gold currency can be
used fur.. The large addition to tbe
volume of cuircucy that would be thus
made would also prove a great relict
in these hard times and would have a
strong tendency to still further reduce
the rates of interest on private loans.
Destructive of all monopolies and "corn
ers " in monoy, the goneral circulation
of largo quantitiea ol silver will have
a most beneficial effect upon business.
The cry that it will not circulate, but
bo quickly returned to the Govern
ment, is loo stupid lor comment far

AN EQUALITY SUR1EKER.
The Baltimore Gazette says : The
able editor of tiie Philadelphia Prest
bos been moved by a spectacle which
greets his vision from the South. On
last Thursday a young white woman
waa stripped naked to the waist and
publicly whipped by a negro Constable
at Elisabeth Court Uonse, Va., under
a law passed by tbe late Legislature,
proscribing the whipping-post for tbe
punishment of such orTonsos as petty
larceny and tbe raiding of chicken
roosts. Saya the able editor, his heart
bleoding with sympathy meanwhile :
This hBmillat lag aeeae la aw evldaaeo el tha
daadealag and degrading lafiueuees ef slavery.
It I. eimply impossible that thla eatrage eboald
take place is reaaey Ivaaia er aay State north ef

Snob iaauaoae aa thla prove that lae laatilaliaa
of alavory wa. eemethiaa woreo tbaa a wroac to a
raoa. It waa Bot tee degradation ef Ihe blaak maa
merely, but ot labor.
Just whore the broad and philan
thropic editor of the Prttt discovers, in
the,whipping of a while woman by a
negro an evidence of the deadening
and degrading influence of slavery, we
are not informed. It eoems to as that
if a white woman had whipped a negro
tbo deadening and degrading influence
of slavery would have been more ap
parent to the average Republican edi
tor. For our own part we do not see
that tho degrading effects of slavery
upon labor are brought ont any more
when a negro Constable wallops a fe
male thief at tbe whipping post than
when a gang ol brutal Mollie Maguirea
in Pennsylvania murder fellow-work
man or assassinate a capitalist
Suirman vs. Shsbbian. Tbs Secre
tary of the Treasury, John Sherman,
is known as the most unflinching advo
cate of enforced resumption, of the gold
standard for payment of tbe bonds, and
opposed to anything like paying off in
silver or greenbacks. And yet tbia
same Mr. Sherman once saw things in
a different light A letter of his haa
been brought to light, written in 18C8,
to a citizen of Brooklyn, New York, In
which ho used tbe following language,
called forth in reference to paying the
5 20 bonds in greenbacks ;

Tin DoDoia Statesman. An ex
change say s Governor Hampton desires
the presence of Senator Patterson in
South Carolina, . He thinks it necos
aary that the Senator should pnt in an
appearance and make answer to the
many charges that have been preferred
against him. The Governor is Im
pressed with the idea that aa Congrem

longer plead bia Senatorial privileges,
but will atcp forward like little man
and let tbe whole world know whether
the Indictments found against him are
founded In truth or whether they are
more endeavors on the part of politi
