A Material Difference One of
tbo salient points in Senator Thurman's
spooch will bear repetition: "Under
seven years of Republican rulo the ex
pensed of running tho government was
:i.45 per capita against 11.94 per capita
fur a poriod of sovon years under Dem
ocratic rule."
TniiB Bua -bear. Tho same old tune
of "Itebcl Claims" is now being piped
by the Republican orguns. It is the
"Grandfather's Clock" of their party.
The organ grinders don't seem to bo

was frightoncd out of his wits by tho

The gentlemen named aro all repro
sentativo Democrats of Clinton county,!
and tho majority aro not strangors to

Damnable Work. Previous to the
mooting of tho Pittsburg Convention,
a small ring of unscrupulous politicians,
assuming to be Democrats, but really
in tho employ of "Don" Camoron,
compiled what was called Senator
Dill's Legislative record, and put it In
circulation tor tbo purpose of defeating
his nomination lor (iovornor, but they
failed. The labor of these mar-ploU is
now being tililiiod by the Radical State
Committco, which is circulating it
broadcast over the Stato as a campaign
document, for tbo purpose of defeating
our nominee for Governor. Mr. Quay,
the Chairman of the Radical Stato
Committee, if be has not already paid
tbat bevy, should reward them hand
somely for compiling bo much cam
paign thunder for him and bis Secre
taries. Rosier, aoe. how the Uliors of
cheap demagogue can be used to dog.
troy the right. We hope Chairman
Bpeer and his Secretaries will forret
out the rascale who done this dirty
work, awi fe their namot to tbo pub

damnable fraud, baa not been palmed
off on pur party for fifteen yean than

TIIOSK JIOM)S.
The Radical press is terribly exor
cised over tho alleged over-issuo of
State llonds in 1H53. The Harrisbiirg
says: "The i'liilk!inu ..r.i.nc 'mtf
Utin copies an article Iroin llarpii's
iluguzinr Ui which it gives tho head
ing 'Lying Newspapers,' and imperti
nently invites to the articles the atten
tion nt ono of its cotcmporariiw. In
the samo number of tho Ilullrtin is a
strained and dishonest attempt to fix
the responsibility for tho alleged over
issue of Stnto llonds upon a Demo
emtio administration in which appear
the lollowingseiitonce: 'The overissue
of Stuto llonds and tho spiriting away
of tho Treasurer's official bond must
have been so nearly together that tho
coincidence ia at least suggestive.
What tho Iiulldin means to suggest ia
that the Stato Bonds wore stolen by
tho Treasurer and that his official bond
was stol.'U at the tunio timo in order
that his socurity might not become ro
sponsible. But instead of blurting it
out this pious journal prefers to insin
ualo a calumny. Downright lying
would bo much more manly. Tbo gab
bio about tho missing bond of a Treas
urer twenty-five years ago is simply
absurd. If it were in existence and if
the Statu bonds bad boon over issued
to tho amount allegod, there could be
no recovery from the sureties. If tho
bonds wero not In existence the mak
ing of it could be easily established
wero that at all necessary. It is di
verting to wilnoss the strained efforts
of tho Bulletin and other partisan
sheets to mako a little political capital
about an alleged but not proved irreg
ularity of a quarter of a century ago,
when thero are plenty of cases of a far
moro recent dato and easily proven."
A Wonderful Flower. Tho von
erablo Thurlow Wocd, on Wednosday
last gathered soino newspaper repor
ters at his palatial mansion to witness
tho blooming of ono ol the rarest flow
ors in the world, tho Flowor, or Spirt-
tut Sanrtus. of Brazil. The flowor is
rare, even in its native land. The stalk
is about forty inches in height, with a
leaf like that of a tubcroso. On tho
top of the one at Mr. Weed's borne are
four of the flowers, tholowostof which
is in full bloom, the throo others in bud.
The flower in bloom is small and of tho
exquisite cream color. Its porfumo is
delicate. It is similar in shape and
sizo to a Madeira nut opened but still
joined. Onc-huifof the flowor remains
upright, and the other half lies down
exactly at right angles to its male, ex
posing in tho erect part a most dain
ty floral grotto, in which rests, appar
ently upon a perch a petal shaped like
a dove n limit to fly, with outstretched
head ami extended wings. Tho dove
iB crcum white, with the exception of
the upper extremities of the wings,
which u n l iniitilully speckled. The
porfectiiui mid lif'e-liko appearance of
the dove tiro incredible to persons who
have not seen the flower.
The Climax Capped. Tho larceny
of the Presidency has bad another seal
added to tbo infamy. Hayes has ap
pointed the notorious Mrs. Jonks to a
fat ofllco. Tho Philadelphia Timet in
alluding to this infamy suys : "Jf it bo
true, as reported that tbo notorious
Jenks woman has been appointed to a
place in the New Orleans Custom
House, it caps the climax of Secretary
Sherman's infamy. It is an act that
hardly any other man filling a bigh
position unilor tbo government would
daro to own, for it cannot be construed
othorwiso than as tbo reward ol porju
ry in the face of overwhelming and
pronounced public condemnation of the
perjurer. Mr. Sherman has done many
culpablo things since bo first ontered
into the conspiracy to make a Presi
dent who would mako biro Socrolary
of tho Treasury, but this takes tho
lead. Ho is a hardened political sin
ner and bas grown very bold by suffer
ance, but be may yet (earn that the
wages of political Bin is death."
Chester Strikes. This county is
one ol the Radical strongholds in this
Stato. At their recent gonoral county
mooting tho brethren unanimously
adopted tbo following, among otbor re
solves :
ReeoWeil, That thin meeting approve the
ooorao of Hon. Jaroe B. Brerbart, our repreteo.
tatlra in the Stat. Beaeta, and that we inatraet
the member of the Legielatora from thia aoootj
to rota fur him for United Stataa Senator and to
aae all honorable mean toeecare hi election.
Last winter Senator Kverhart refus
ed to go into caucus to nominato the
younger Cameron for Senator, and
ovon refused to voto for him alter he
had been nominated. His consistency
in both cases now has its roward in be
ing endorsed by bis manly action, and
the high honor of being presented as
the competitor of Don Camoron in the
race for tho Senatorship. A few more
Republican counties of the State fol
lowing tho lead of Chester, would make
Don and hia trainers think tbat their
claim of hereditary title is in danger of
being knocked into smithereens.
Moral Ideas. That famous moral
idea corner of the Stato, embracing
Crawford, Erio and Warren counties,
has a spectacle on band just now, which
doe not accord with the former profes
sions of the statesmen of tho North
west. Tbo Warron Lalger puts a now
aspect upon the difficulty in the Twen
ty seventh Congressional district in re
gard to the Republican nomination,
which gives it a commercial character.
It says Mr. Osmor, tbo nominee, neg
lected to pay some of the delegate' ex
penses, which Roed, of Krie, was called
upon for. It further declares, on tho
authority ol the F.rio Gazette, that Wat
son, tbe present member, bad to buy
Rood off two years ago. It would not
be bad plan for the people of the
Twenty-seventh district to take this
matter in hand and leave all these bar
gaining gentry at home and Bond some
honest Democrat like Dr. Egbert back
again.
A Campbell Joke. Tho Patriot
aaye : Jakoy Campbell, ol the Somoraot
district, finds it necessary to play tho
demagoguo considerably since tho nom
ination or Ucn. Colrrotb. lie is out
in a letter promising' the ei soldiers of
tha district transferable land warrant)
and enlargod pensions if thoy will only
vote to return him to Comrress.
H
must imagine that the veteran! of
his
district are aa easily imposed upon
as
the Alrican man and brother downf
Sooth was when the rarpot-baggera
promised him forty acres ol land and
ft mole. But probably he will find bim
elf slightly mistaken.
"XOT H FRAUD!"
Tho Philadelphia Vi'. says that
"Mr. (irow represents tbe bout element
of the Republican party, which is tho
hect element of bl.B'Sy?!!'' ,'J1 ."J0"
im3'-(-jil-iir..fiigTi Tj tiTi.'ri.tM;-.-flghting,
not by fraud."
The success of tho "best element"
of tho Republican party in 1870, when
thoy stole tho Presidency from tho
Democrats by "Iraud," and put a flrst
clasa Fraud in the White House,
should tempt tho party of great moral
ideas to contintio in tho path which bas
hitherto led to victory. Any departure
from tho old wuy will assuredly loud
to defeat. This "best element" of tho
Republican party bas bilhorlo been
tho representative men of that party,
and if tho people aro tojudgo them by
their acta in tho past, tho Democracy
cun afford to go into Ibis fight on hon
est issues. The Republican loaders
must be diffuront men from tho Cam
orons, beforo tho people will believe
tbat Mr. Grow represents tbo best ele
ments of that party.
And if tho Republican party "goes
into thia campaign to win victory by
fighting, not by Iraud," such men aa
Quay, Muckey, Errett, and other
henchmen of the Camorons, tho "re
spectable element," no doubt, in tho
estimation of tho Prens, will have to
take a back Boat and go to school over
again. You might as well expect the
leopard to change its spots as thoso
men to forgot their political trickery
and rascality, and it thoso mon, who
have been loaders of tho Republican
party in tbe past, and aro its chosen
chiefs to-duy, couslituto its "best ele
ments," what shall we say of the little
pups who only bark when tho big dogs
give tongue .' Crusader.
Sitting Bull to be Arhehtxo. A
Washington despatch says : "Tho au
thorities horo will tuko no action at
present with reference to Sitting Bull,
being convicted that bis condition is
hopeless, and that ultimately bo will
become a prisoner of war by surrender.
Lator reports represent that be is starv
ing, and must Boon succumb. Ho de
clines to oxpretta any penitonco for his
criminality in tbo Custer massacre, and
insists upon roturning to the United
States with full pardon for bis crimi
nal deeds. Ha and bis followers will
bo arrested and treated as prisoners ol
war upon their sotting foot on Ameri
can soil. The action of tbe British
Government in harboring Sitting Bull
in Canada is objected to hero, tho Cab
inet holding that Canada would expect
tho United States to refuse aid and
sustenance to Canadian subjects who
bad committed crimes of the character
perpotratcd by Sitting Bull. Tbo Com
missioner ol Indian ArTuirs suys no
Government official will assumo res
ponsibility for Sitting Bull's good be
havior, if he is allowed to remain on
his roturn."
Commune Butler. Ben Butler made
a two hours' speech the other day, at
Biddeford, Maino, before a convention
of Grocnbackors. He said be came
not to make a speech, but to commune
with the people on tbe publie interests
of the day. He bad loft the old par
lies and had belonged to the Demo
cratic party until it attempted to des
troy tbe Union. Ho was with the
Republican party until it deserted its
founders, tbe laboring men. Capital
ista new bold tbe Republican party
bound hand and loot. Hayes has vio
lated every pledge and betrayed tbe
negro of tbe South. Tbe effort ol
Grant' administration to strengthen
the publio credit was swindle. Ho re
viewed tho history of the greenback
currency and claimed tbat it should
bo mado legal tender for all debts,
public and private. His commune idea
expresses tbo whole mattor. Butlor
haa robbed aud disgraced both tbe
Democratic and the Republican parlies,
and now ho is ready to make com
mon causo with political free booters
to rob and plunder all. He ia a scoun
drel by nature.
Enormous Increase of State Ex
penditures. As illustrative of tbe dil-
forenco between the expenditures of
Democratic and Republican adminis
trations lor State purposes, tbo Patriot
says wo comparo the expenditures of
Governor Packer, the last Democratic
Governor, with thoso of Govornor
Hartranfl, who ia likely to be the last
Republican Govornor, compiled from
official documents, as follows :

once suggested. Whero does all tbo
money go to? The pertinent inquiry
will hereafter be answered.
Desertino the Ship. Like rats,
all tho shrewd loaders of the party in
thia and othor States, are leaving the
sinking Radical veasol beforo the
drowning period overtakes them.
When leaders like Butlor and Kelly
jump1 overboard, the rest of tbe erew
may well be alarmed because they aro
tho last to desert when there ia safety
and plenty to plunder on board. Thoso
mon do not wait until tbe wreck is
complete, but thoy aro now making
for the shore in dead earnest, whilo a
lot of foolish, bigoted follows liko
Blaine and Grow are trying to stop
the enormous leaks in their vessol
with bloody shirts and pocket-handkerchiefs.
Tbey must evontually
drown and go to the bottom with the
hulk.
Tin True Inwardness. Senator
Thurman, in his recent spooch stated
this homely fact : A national bank cur
rency moans the indofinite porpelua
tion ol tbe national dobt Tho nation
al banks, as far as their circulation is
concerned, aro founded on that debt.
It Is security for their notes ; and when
ever tbe dobt is paid the banks must
retire their circulation and cease to Is
sue notos. In order, therefore, to por
potuato their privilogo of issuing notes,
tbey must strive to perpetuate tbe na
tional debt. And tbe public may rest
assured that they will do so ; and the
influence ol mors than two thoasand
such institutions spread all over tho
oonntry, will be very powerful indeed.!

TUKXUMHKR OFDELEGA TEH.
Under our party rules the number
of delegates each borough and town
ship is entitled to, is based upon the
voto polled for Governor ut the lust
preoedingelection. (See Rule 2d ). The
present allotment of delegates is there
fore based on tho vote cast tor Govern
or In 187S. At that election Bradford
township lost a delegate by not polling
her full Democratic vote. Her voto in
1874 was 108, and in 1875 was 146,
whilo Brady township went up from
334 in 1874, to 352 in 1870. Hence
that township was aicarditi an addi
tional deleguto lit two vote, whilo Brad
ford (osf ono by five vote. Our Demo
cratic friends will soo by what ban hap
pened in the past that it takes but a
few votes to either lose or gain ono
delegate: If llout.dulo polls six cotet
more for Govornor in November than
in 187G, it will bo entitled to 3 dele
gates, while Osceola needs but four
votes more, Beecatia 18, Bell 20, Chest
9, Covington 10, Decatur 15, to give
them all three delegates, instead of but
two.
It is but proper that our party friends
should mako an effort in the districts
named to increaso their power in tbe
Convention, when so few votes will do
it. Now let us bco which of the dis
tricts will gain or lose delegates at tbo
next election. .
Swallowed All. Tho Democrats
of Clinton county aro again after every
thing in the gill of the people in thia
soction of tho Stuto. At their recent
County Convention they appropriated
all in this way :
Nomination for Judtt beina: In order. W. H
Brown nominated Judge Cbarla A. Mayer, and
on motion so wa nominated by aeelamatlon.
For Coagreia, Mr. Bimon nomloated lion. L. A.
Uaokee, and on motion he was nominated bj
aonlamation.
For Henator, Dr. J. II. Plahbnrne nominated
Hon. S. R. Peala, who wa ulso nominated be ao
olamation.
Tbo capacity for oflico, as displayed
from timo to time by our down river
neighbors, is wonderful. It scorns that
most of them are slatosmcn. They
ovidcntly beliove tbat if you nover ask
for anything you seldom succeed in
obtaining it, and thcrelore they usually
ask for all that's going, and they are
getting pretty export at raking it in.
It is a wonder they don't invito us to
select our Sheriffs and other county
officers from that garden ol export
statesmen.
Proiiiuioub for Mischief. Tho
present position of General Butler in
politics reminds tho editor of tbo Now
York World of tho Nevuda mulo, when
ongagod as tbo donkey in tho play of
"The rorty Thiovos," before an audi
ence of miners. At tho critical moment
of this debut, ho stayed his fore-feet
and kickod. "lie kicked tho prompter
into tho orchestra, and tho call boy in
to tho flies j ho kicked away tho rob
bora' jam ot oil, ft cavorn and an ex
panse of forests, and he made all the
company shriek 'Open Bosame' as its
members sought some shelter ; nor was
that mulo secured until it had destroy
ed tho wbolo platform upon which tho
foot-lights biased. That mulo no long
er stars; yet it was well thought of
until such prodigious powers of mis
chief wore dovolopod."
How Thev do it. Wo havo beforo
us a printed circular, issued by Mr.
Quay and directed to a Federal office
holder, which Illustrates the manner of
raising funds with which to conduct
Republican campaigns. Hero is a copy :

THA T HORSE.
Kx Gov. Palmer, of Illinois, when
beforo tbo Potter Committee, among
other things raid :
"Wl'k n. dlirrtpeet to Mr. Tilden, I belleee If
These aro idle words. It Mr. Tilden
bad "mounted Lis horse," means, wo
suppose, beaded a column of men to
march on Washington olso it means
nothing: for Tilden rode tin horseback
every day during that exciting time.
If mounting his horse means a forciblo
resistance to tho counting in of Hayes
it would have been tho thing of ull
others which Grant desired,,. For Unit
purpose the army hud boon called to
Washington, artillery posted to rake
the streets and military telegraph
stretched from tho barracks to the
Whito House. The Senate, headed by
tbo audacious and rock less Morton,
would nover have yielded, tho House
encouraged by "Tilden on horseback"
would not have yielded, and the coun
try would have been thrown into the
uncertainties and confusion of a dixput
ed succession. Neither Hayes nor
Tilden could lawfully have boon coun
ted in or inaugurated ; Caleb Cushing
and old Judge Tail were all ready with
their legal opinions tbut it was Grunt's
duty to hold ovor and order now
election j and thero was the army to
"preserve order" a thing which Gen
eruls Sherman and Sheridan would
have followed hiovilalily from the ap
parition of 'I ilden ot horseback" if Gov.
Pulmer'sflgiiruofspeech bus uny iiieun

to assume us be nlwuys bus -that it
wus not bis loss, but the loss of the
American people whoso will was de
feated through fraud und fiirco. If be
bad "mounted bis horse" it would have
lowered the whole causo to the level of
a personal wrangle for tho high office.

AN A WFVL EXPLOSIOS.
A powder magazine at Pottsville,
containing 1,200 kegs of giant pow

tho magazine and all the buildings

havo been accumulating for ages.
Pottsville is a largo town. I la build
in's rest on solid rock foundations, but
on this afternoon, when tbo 1,200 kegs
of giant powder were touched by the
glowing lightning tho town and nil
tho earth around it shook as if a planet
hud struck them. To recount tbo
numbcilcH distant windows destroyed
on this remarkable occusuin would give
but a faint idea of the terrnhle foli o of
tho powor.
Inmates of houses wero hurled from
chairs as if they were in tho pulti of
an avalanche. Large and deeply loot
ed trees which had withstood tho elo
mental fury of a hundred storms were
torn asunder, snapped off like twigs,
while their massive fragments were
scattered to tbe winds. All this was
but the work of an instant, yot the des
truction was terrible and complete.
Twenty-five houses wero crushed as If
they were eggs under a locomotive.
Solid and substantial houses were liter
ally lorn into kindling wood.
Coming to a Point. On Wednes
day, during a supplementary examina
tion of Col. Roberts beforo the Potter
Committoo, Goncral Butlor asked the
witness whether "the fairness and jus-
tico of his case which Hayes's friends
acknowledged, did not mean then the
breaking up of tbe Packard Govern
mont" ? and Col. Roberts answered
"That was tbo result aimed at, because
Nicboll's had a majority of votes."
"Then," General Butlor said, in a voice
of thunder, rising in bis sent, "did not
justice and lairncss equally require
that the man who received a majority
ol votes of Louisiana for President
should bo declared elected, as well as
tho Governor, lor whom you say jus
tice and fairness required recognition f"
Col. Roberts replied that Gen. Butlor's
.view was correct. What sort of an
answer would Fraud Hayes himself
msko to such a direct, blunt and com
prehensive quostion ?,
A Scott ish Scheme. We see it an
nounced that Governor Hampton is
reselling out for another of the old
ring robbeis ol South Carolina. Ex
Governor Scott Is tho party ho wants
this timo. Scott is living at Napoleon,
Ohio, and it is reported at Columbia,
S. C, that Govornor Hampton ha, for-
wardod a requisition on the Govornor
of Ohio for bim. Ho is charged with
having bought ft majority of votes of
tbo members of the Legislature during
the sessions of 1871 and '72, in order to
defeat his own impeachment for "high
crimes and misdemeanors," and in or
der to raise) tltav annney to buy the
voles ho issued fraudulent warrants on
(he treasury in tho names of imaginury
pontons to the oxlcnt of 1100,000.
Chinamen. The Now York Post haa
taken a census ol the Chinese popul
tion in Han Francisco, and says: "In
connection with the question tho lol
lowing statistics of the Chinese popu
lation in San riancisco and their eati
ngs will bo of interest: Merchants and
professional men, 1,000 ; cigar makers,
5,000; laundrymen, 1,500 ; servants,
7,000; boot and shoemakers, 2,000;
slipper makers, 800 ; gamblers, 1,400 ;
makers of clothing, 3,000; peddlers,
5,000 ; fishermen, 1,000 ; laborores, 1,
000 ; other occupations, 3,800 ; women,
2,000. Total, 82,000."
The Contest Ended. Tbe forty
year ccntost to divido Lnzerrle county
was ended last week. In accordance
with the Act of Assembly a vote was
taken on the question of forming Lack
awanna county out of the upper end
of Luzerne The voto stood for 9,615.
against 7,029, giving almost 2,000 in
favor of tbo now oounty. Scranton will
of course be the new oounty seat.

that if the members of tha Vigllanoa

All Weono. Somo of our party
friends deport themselves very strange
ly during the primary canvass. Thoy
are not satisfied with shouldering
candidate, and do all they can in t do
cont way to bo successful, but tbey
will attack a competitor and abuse
him soundly for tho purpose of tor
warding tbe interest of their favorite.
This modo of electioneering is all
wrong. Wo like to see voters zeal
ous for their candidates, but it is dis
graceful to turn around and abuso a
rival. It is just like a bird befouling
its own nest, and wo all know that it
is a very dirty bird that does that.
A Duti.ee Brick. It seems that
"Bon" has t fuw bricks loft. Here is
a specimen of tho ono ho dashed at "the
government" recently :
I cant lee any administration. I'd Ilka lo
know what Hayes administer. Tbs only admin
istration I have aean la hi appoiatmeat of e7
men wno aellied bim to fraudulently a 11 the kin-h
eat oAre in tbe government. He baa appointed
more scoundrels lo omoe than were aecr known
la the ooootrj bofora.
Nover before haa tbe Essex states-
man thrown a brick moro vigorously
than Ibis one, Had somo Democrat
uttered this naked truth, It would be
denouncod as false by the Radical
proas. But Ben has "bottled" them
securely.
Modern Philanthrope Tbe Bal
timore Gazette snya : Tbe pardon mill
has been running under full powor
over ainco Hayes went into tbe White
House. Between March , 1877, and
May 20, 1878, according to tbe late re
port of tbo Attorney General, 284 of
lenders were turned looao. Tbe list
inoludos sinners against tho rovenua
laws, grand Inrcenists, for restoration
to citizenship on expiration ol sentence
and on account of critical condition of
health. Mr. Hayes has a large flabby
heart lor one who is so small in othor
respects.
A IsRowleb. n embellished our
columns two weeks ago, as usual, with
somo stubborn facts, to which ft cor
respondent of tbo Journal objects, at
length. Wo bavo read the critic's
epistlu, and camo to the conclusion
that wo would not attempt to argue
the case with him. Ha knows far too
much for us, and we will allow the
great mass to pass upon our respective
arguments, and pay who is right
What we said is either true or false,
and we will adhere to tbe former and
risk our reputation fur truth upon it.
