-1 NA3IPLE CI BEEN BACKER.
A fow Democrats in Lycoming
county, lunt fall, chimed in fitb'l'n
(irot'iiburkerii end helped to a
Mr. John Hum to (ho I.ogl.-lnUiro from
that county. He, with two otbor
Circciibatkern, voted for Cameron, the
Radicul nominee for United Stutos
Senator. Now then, when it in too
Into, tho Democrats and (irruiiliaukcre
are all mad, and (laus, the Greenback
member of tho Legislature from Ly
comingcounty,who votod lor Cameron,
has been bung in effigy, enough to
satisfy him that he ought to make an
explanation. II 0 has shown what a
powerful mind can sometimes do. lie
had only pledged himself to vote "tor
aGroenback United States Senator"
if such a man was nominated with a
probability of success, and he early
saw that thero was no chance ol such
a nomination. Mr. Gaus, thon turned
to Cameron as tho representative of
tbo CreonbackoiV principles to Buy
nothinu of naster and folder and
comtnitteo positions and voted tor
him. All tbo Greenback members ol
the Homo who supported Cameron
have now explained. Mr. J. T.Scuoo
nor, of Schuylkill, gives the reasons
which Mr. Gaus has adopted, while
Mr. Dennis O'Lcnahan, ol Luierno,
struck out with the statement that ho
gavo his vote to Cumoron because tbe
young Senator was a good friend of
tbe Catholic Church. These important
matters having been attended to, there
is nothing to prevent the Legislature
from going along with its businoss.
This trio of "Jioforinors" have now
all explained why they voted for Cam
eron, but their explanation is so thin
that even a one-eyed Greenbackcr can
see through it. It is a bad start-off
tbat a reform party which elected only
eighteen members to the Legislature
should loose one sixth of its members
tbo flrst fire. It's a pity 1
A Cesspool or Iniquity. Tbe Uni
tod Slates Navy, during tbe Grant-
RobinBon Administration, for frauds
and daily crimes committed, was ex
oecded by Belknap's infamous depart
mcnt in tbo War Department, who was
succcBsliiily impeached and disgraced.
According to tho recent report of a
Congressional Committee, Robeson de
serves the same fate. The editor of
tho Philadelphia Timet, in alluding to
tbe Congressional finding, Bays ! "The
gcnoral tenor of tbo charges against ex.
Secretary Robeson is pretty well un
dorstnod by the averago newspaper
reader, but the succinct summary of
tho specifications, as presented in the
report of tho majority of tbe House
naval committee, will none the less at
tract attention. Tbo committee has
not overstated the case as mado up in
tho voluminous testimony which was
recently given to tbo public. Tho bare
tacts aro full of condemnation for the
late administration of I be Navy Dopart
ment; it is impossible to build npon
thorn any plausiblo theory consistent
with the integrity of that administra
tion. The House committee has dis
charged its duty in t he painstaking and
thorough investigation made under Mr.
Whitborne's direction. The House of.
Representatives will adopt the report
notwithstanding Mr. Robeson's vigor-
oils backing on tbe Republican side, and
it will remain for tho President to see
whether tho country is without means
of redress against tbe oft'jiidors who are
named therein."
Hard oh to Buinirrs There are
now two Sheriffs j "one a Democrat,
from Butler county, and tbo other a
Radical, from Armstrong county
tho Western Penitentiary, for violating
tho Constitution, in paying out money
to voters to secure tboir election. Tbo
crime to steal horses is no greater, and
tbo penalty about tbe same ii the
party is detected. A cotcmporary in
alluding to the last rase says: "Sheriff
G A. Vi illiams, of Kittanning, who
was oonvicted at tho December term
1878, for perjury in oath of offioo and
using money lor election purposes, was
sentoncod by Judge Boggs to twenty
five months in the penitentiary and to
pay a fine of three hundred dollars,
Coroner J. K. Willis was appointed
Sheriff by the Court for tbe present,
and conducted tbo prisonor to a cell
There is a great sympathy for Will
iams, who was elected by the Republi
can party and who baa boon in office
since January, 1877. ne had hosts of
warm friends."
But bis friends amounted to nothing
when ho really noodod friends. Tbo
trial and conviction of these two men
should bo a warning to all others.
Biautlino. During a short debate
in tbe United Statue Senate, last Fri
day, tbe startling admission was made
by the Commissioner of Pension! tbat
twenty per cent of tbo pensions paid
were fraudulently paid. This astound
ing fuct makes it still more impossible
to calculate with any certainty how
much money will be required to carry
out the provisions of the arrears of the
Pension law. We have no doubt but
that thore aro thousands of porsoas
now drawing pensions, who are no
more entitled to tbe money than Hayee
is to tbo Presidency. But tbo thing
goes on. Tho aViir-fodrawsbie $50,000,
and tbo hospital bummer draws bis
bounty, whilo Tilden and tho true sol-
dier cam their bread by the sweat of
their brow.
Noni or Yoi'B Dam Nonsensi.
Parties residing on both banks of the
Susquehanna river, from Columbia up
to the mouth of the Juniata river and
Clark's Kerr)-, or Green's dam, take a
great interest in having the Columbia
dam removed for the purpose of allow
ing tbe fish to pasi along tbe York,
Cumberland, Perry, Dauphin and Lao,
castor shores. That would be a good
thing for the rosidebU of those coun
ties, and whon tbey aocomplisb tbe
removal of the Columbia dam, at. tbe
expense of the Blnto Treasury, the
shad business will bo played out above
Green's, Shamokin, Munrjr dams, etc
Wo bope that the op-river member
will not be simple enough to help this
foolish pioposition along.

suggestion of Auditor General Schell
that the office of Bank Assessor should
be abolished, desurrcs tbe unanimous
fuvor of both branolio of the legisla

serves no public purpose except to place
banks measurable at tho mercy of ret k
less officials, and the sum of over six
teen thousand dollars now paid mainly
to partisan dependents should bo saved

but crediluble ; tbo ostensible incum
bents have generally performed no du
ties, and the salaries have at times been
divided among men who could not bo

State has scores of just such sinecures,
created from time to time to pay party
expenses and help to polluto elections,
and now that tho Democrats have tho
Dank Assessor plunder and aro tuking
Democratic shindy over it, tbo Iie-

GOLDEN WORDS FROM PRESI
VENT T1LDENS TESTIMONY.
From November, 1870, until Doccra-
bor 6tb ,the same year, under no cir-
custances, did I enter into any eonipe
tilion for seeking certilieatos by venal
induooment There never was an hour
nor minute that 1 entertained such
thought To the people who, as t be
lieve, elected me President of tbe Uni
ted States, to the lour million citir.ons
who were defrauded, I owed it to pro
claim I would not yield one jot or tittle
of my right. Whatever evils may re
sult from this subversion of tbe Elec
toral system and of free government, I
resolved I would enter into no trans
action for tho purchnso of the Chief
Magistracy Cheers, which the Chair
man suppressed, I was resolved tbat
I would continue to protest against tho
wrong by which tbo peoplo were do-
fraudod of their rights.
I declare before God and my country
tbat the votes of Louisiana and Florida
were bought I (meaning by Republi
cans) I would scorn and condemn my
righteous titlo if the Democratic party
bad secured my seat by fraud.
When a party set up a high standard
of morality I propose to analyze that
standard and aoo if they lived up to it
themselves. Col. Pelton thought it ex
cusable to fight fire with fire and adopt
the tactics of tbe enemy. Pelton's
act was an inchoate offense. The acts
on tbo other side wore consummated
and gave tbo Presidency La a nun not
elected.
FaAiL Man. The frailties of tbe
raco is eonceoded, but why tho "stal
warts" of a cortuln party should be
more afflicted than others is a puzzler.
For instance : When Blaino was to be
investigated on the CroditMobilier bu
siness, be was nin struok and compell
ed to leave Washington tor his home
in Maine, and has not been called yet
It will also be remembered tbat in
1876, after Mr. Conkling's feathers
were out at tbe Cincinnati Convention
he was soized with an affection of the
eyes. He was nnable to enter warm-
ly into tbe Stato canvass and Now
York went Democratic, as Maine wont
for Governor Kont on a memorable oc
casion. Tbe treatment which Mr.
Conkling is receiving about these days
from Sherman and Hayes may bring
on another attack of sore eyes in 1880.
It is observed that when Mr. Conk
ling goes blind the State always goes
Democratic, So it is with Blaine, Tbe
sun-stroke secured a Democratic Gov
ornor for Mai no, something that has
not happened for twenty years, Sore
eyes and sun stroke are not so bad if
the right fellow are amiotod,

The Republican was in existence
long before the Republican party was
born, and if it is a disgrace for an In
dividual to chango his name, it is
equally unbeoomming in a newspaper
to do the same thing. Our Journal ex
pects to exist long after the Republi
can party is dead. Read the names of
the party indicated In the last fifty
years: Tory, Federal, Anti-Mason,
Whig, linow-Notbing, and in 1856 it
adopted '-Republican." A few years
more will extinguish tbat also. Sup
pose an individual would chango bis
name that often in tbo same length of
time, bow much character would ho
have leftf Would not everybody get
him down as a rogue 1
CirniRisH Kxploded. Tho cipher
dispatches, first unearthed by the New
York Tribune, have been thoroughly
investigated, tbe testimony of tboir
authors having been taken by tbo Pot
tor Committee. From the testimony
of the witnesses, it is made evident that
the Retnrning Boards in South Caro
lina and Florida were emphatically in
tbe market, Wood and Polton were
willing to buy, but the principals, Til
den, and the Democratlo National Com
miltee, have thown clean hands. Tbe
positive testimony of Pelton, Cooper,
and tbe straightforward unequivocal
denial of Tilden himself, will be ac
cepted by tbe public as a oompleto
vindication of the latter.

The difficulty tbat legislators find in
enacting an eight hour law which shall
secure at tbe same lime a leductiuo in
Ibo hours of labor without any change
in the daily pay of the worker should
convince tbem that they uru striving
after impossibilities. Tho lutest at
tempt to control omployers is made in j
tbo bill introduced in the Pennsylva
nia llouso on Monday, which subjects
to fine and imprisonment corporations
and contractors who force an employe
to consider a day's work to be more
tbau eight hours. Tho framer of tbe
bill possibly never heard of Butler's
true saying :
"lie that eompliei egalnrt bit will
la of tbe aame opinion still"
The contractor who wanted his em
ploye to work more than eight hours,
could not, if ho wauled to, force bim
to change his opiniou on the eight
hour question though bo might control
his practice. But Ibe whole question
in regard to tho hours of labor
Is too often made tbo football of dem
agogues. So many workmen have
their hours of labor regulated by the
weather, the seasons of tho year, or
tbe peculiar conditions under which
their labor is performed, tbat no gen
eral law could be devised which would
give rebel to nil classes ot workers
Nor could such laws if enforced give
pormanont relief to the unemployed
or increaao tbe buying power ot wages.
Tbey might, however, ciealo a great
deal of temporary disturbance in va
rious trades, from which the woikmcn
would bo tho chicl sufferers. It is not
improbable that such reductions in the
hours of labor as have taken place in
the past may tnko place in tbo future,
but they are not all likely to bo hast
ened materially by legislation.
M AKIN O FUN.
Tho Washington correspondent of
tbo New York 'limes, a leading Radi
cal organ, in alluding to the appoint
mcnt of Ex-Governor llartrunit, as

"Tho Pennsylvania members are in

pointment of Postmaster takes bim off
the high pedestal npon which ho Blood
and places him upon a level with U10
more placehuntur. "Why," said a
prominent Pennsylvania member of
tho House, in speaking of tbo appoint
ment, "Uarlranlt, until today, was
an available candidute for President of
the United Stales. He received on
one ballot at the Cincinnati Conven
tion twenty more votes than Hares.
He. was a rising man, and now to see

mere ward politician, after bis long and
honorable service in tbo Executive

keenly felt by tbo Republican mem
bert of our Stale." It is said tbat be
fore tho appointment was mado Hart
ranlt was consulted and signined a
willingness to accept There is no
doubt about bis confirmation."
An Economist. A Washington cor
respondent of tho Springfield Gaz. tte.
utilizes his views in this way : "Inas
much as John Logan has no particular
business in Washington now, there is
a motion pending to postpone bis ro
ception until Zach Chandler is ro elect
od and then receive them bolh at the
aame time. It ha boen estimated that
two distinguished Statesmen can bo
received lore vory slight advance over
what it costs to receive one and it is
argued that the imprcsaivencaa, bo far
as the booming of tho Grant move
ment Is concerned, Would more than
make up the differ nee. ' With proper
notification wo think that Father
Clapp could evolve a apoecb which
would enfold both Logan and Chand
ler In the slack of its eloquence and go
far toward restoring tho flush times
when Ulysses dealt large bands to bis
favorites and Babcock measured the
improvements."
A Good Lesson. Governor Robin
son, of New York has formulated a
lesson in tho following for men elected
to office that they ought to have al
ways with them, from the humblest
borough officer to the highest In lb
land : .,
. Tho functions which we exercise are
oommitlod to us as a sacred trust. The
government which wo control as publio
officers is not our own ; it belongs to
those who elected us. Tbo laws we
enact do not express onr will. The
money which wo handle belongs to
them and not to us. We can only take
it froia tbciA for Ibe legitimate ex
pense of government. More than tbis
is robbery. - Official generosity is
official crime. Every needless tax cuts
some comforts from a thousand bomos
It means lose food, leu luol, and less
cbcor in many families.
How About Hayis? Radical soolbr
savers insist that Tilden Is a guilty
man ; that ho was aware of what Pel

Tbe throe States of Florida, Louis

THE MISLED WORK PEOPLE.'
One of the mort ludieious, and at
the same tnii" wt'toi initial' ut' the day,
l tbo jwfeet tniih nl ojwriteta and
orators of tbe "labor party" in their
sunselees remedies for the borrora ol
tbe situation, lew of which agree, .but
that fact docs uot seem to disturb (hem
in the least. .-
One of these worthies, in tho Iri.-h
World, has an elaborate letter to the
Hon. Mr. Hewitt, and tbo aplomb with
which be dcmulishcs that gentlemun's
vory simple remark that tbe Supreme
Court would doubtless decide against
any Congressional appropriation lor
settling people ou the public minis, is
.ny freshing. Ho says tbe 811
prcme Court, if in-the wat-, must bo
got out of tho way, nd the peoplo per
milled to 'enter on their "great Inheri
tance," whatever that may be. And
so through all, tho Sam. Carys, Brick
I'enieroys, bbupes, Irun tt mat, etc.,
it is Ibe same wretched bulderda'b,
the natural though deadly Iruit of the
"higher luw" teachings of Seward and
Liucoln, thouifb however wild and ab
surd the former, they really feel the
popular misery and no doubt honestly
wish to remedy it Their "idea" is
Wholly European, and while sensible
enough in Europe is utterly lulsu in
America. Under the old teudul system
of tho middle ages great bsronit own
ing all Ibo land, governed tboir work
people or serls lu their own wuy, but
alter its overthrow the 'divine rights"
ot kinifs was set un and the ureal bar
una themselves butaniu amenable to
law. This has in our limes been
changed into tbo "divine right'' of gov.
eminent, and enabled the lew, especi
ally in England, to get all tho wealth
and power in their bands, reducing ibe
million to a more deplorable condition
than under leudalistn. But tbe groat
French Revolution of 1780, while re
taining tbe idea, gave a new and won-
deiliil application of it, and which is
now rapidly changing the wbolo ol
western Europe.
Such men as Barnave, Mirubau, Ro
bespierre, etc., said: "For ages tbe
privileged classes tbe nobles and
priests tbe V antlcrbills and bono bold
er wbo pay no taxes, have used this
machine called guvut-iiinutit io benefit
tbe lew al tbe expenno of tbe many.
Therefore we will also use it to undo
these wrongs and give the people equal
chances in the future." Tbey there
fore not only oontiscated the lands ol
the nobility and ol the priests that
would not conform to the new system,
but, selling it as national property in
small lots, enacted a Democratic law
of primogeniture which forever forbids

A Jefferson or Jackson for example,

From the annual report ol Secre
tary Thompson lor 1877, it appears
thut at the cloxu nl Mr. Robeson's ad
ministration, utter all bis enormous
expouditurus,there existed an indebted
ness unwarranted by aty law, of 87,.
083,503 25. Mr. Thompson reported
to Congress at the same time that be
bad suspended contracts involving
several millions of dollars, wbicb were
made by Mr. Robeson subsequent to
March 1, 1877, without any authority
of law. . . .
Tbo inlormation furnished to tbo
Committee by tbe present Secretary
in regard to tbe manner in which con
tracts have been made since 1870, tbe
maimer in which indebtedness has
been incurred, and the manner in
whieb public properly bus been dis
posed ol, shows a constant and almost
coa&cU-ss disregard and violation of tho
luw.
During the eight years of Mr. Robe
son's administration there disappeared
irom tne isavy register the names ot
sevonty vessels, of which five were lost
at tea, forty-six wore sold and the pro
ceeds paid into the Treasury, three
wero sold and tho proceeds paid over
to contractors, and twenty were de
stroyed by the order of Mr. Robeson,
and tbe materials cut up and turned
over or credited to contractor. II
tbis destroyed proerty, which cost
tho government one hundred millions,
1 credited it only fifty millions, we
haventioxpenditurediiringeightyears
OI over 3,UUU,UUU. The property
sold and disposed of would certainlv
navo yielded a revenue ol S-'iUiyn.utiU to
any prudent private individual. In fact,
the government rec eived for it less than
two millions. Now, subtracting from
the annual appropriations for the navy
Ibo sums applied to its maintenance, it
is tound that over (01,000,000 wore
applied to construction, equipment
and armament. This makes ncarlv
05,000,000 applied to construction, a
sum wbicb, if applied to building war
vessels, would have given us seventy
new vessels line 1110 Tien ton ono of

Inquiring next whether the laws en
acted for tho government ot the Naval
service and protection of tho govern
ment's Interests bavo been observed,
tho Committeo sny thoy are constrain
ed by tho facts and their sense of duty
to the House and tho country to
answer that theso laws have not ouon
observod or obeyed, but. on tbo con-trai-y,
have been disregarded and vio

disregarded In tho delivery of mater

hibiting any department from exceed

declared to havo boen disreirurded. and
tho report goes on at considerable
length asserting similar disregard of
aw, una in Bumming up tho acts re
ferred to, tho Committee sav thev deem
it to bo their duty to call upon tbe
proper department of tho Government
to oring tne responsiuio parties to jus

aro George Sf. Robeson : W. W. Wood,

I be Committeo considers at length
the defense and explanation tendered
for these alleged violationsol law, and
further on say that the testimony
taken, will show that vory blgb
prices have been paid to certain parlies,
the frequency of whose names is ug
gustive of favoritism, and that up to
me moee 01 Mr. jiooeson edrniuistra

tbo trade ol the ijavy Department

Messrs. Hunt, Roach Gardner, in
1876 and 1877, at prices which bad
prevailed in years before, Mr. Hunt
indeed, belnii paid hiifhcr price than
be bad previously built for ; and bis
p-jjlanation that tbo same high prices
wero paid to other parties is no doubl
correct.- From ..thirty y thirty-two

wu contracted to be paid to these
parties, when it competition bad been
admitted jt j the ppinjon of tbe Com
mittee that the oust oould have been
rcduovd lo from eighteen to twenty

ORPHANS SCHOOL.
Theso schools havo proved tho most
expensive luxury ever entailed upon
tho taxpayers of tho Slate, and wo
are pleased to notice that thero is one
man, (Hon. John G. Freeze, of Blooms-
burg,) wbo has courage enough to
allude to this piece of robbery in a be
coming manner. Ho soys :
" Tbo report of the Superintendent
of Soldiers' Orphan Shools for the
yeitr 1878 is belore us. Inasmuch as
tbe war ended in April, 18bu, Ihelc-'is
lution admitting children of soldiers
sick and otherwise disabled, born since
January, 1866, seems to be pushing
the thing In an citit-mity. It seems,
too, that this change in the luw admits
children not orphans, and has incrcus
ed the .number of children in the
schools luriroly. They now number
2 526, and we are told that at least
three fourths of tho children now in
school could not have been admitted
under Unoriginal system. That state,
ment is sufficient to show tbat tbero is
somewhere in the present management
a considerable quantity of "sugar"
dealt out lo somebody. Under the old
system Uco schools would now suffice
for all tbo soldiers' orphans. But un
der tbe present ono we havo thirteen
schools and eleven houses. And for those
schools for tbo year 1879 thore aro re
quired $150,000.00 for tho general ex
penses, and eio.tiuu.ou tor expenses of
vie department, jnow a large amount
ol tins money can be saved, not only
without detriment to Iho children, but
with a positive advuntago to them
in addition to tlieabovo f. 160,000 00
thero has been appropriated for some
years annually the sum of 87,0011 to
enable tbe graduate from the orphan
schools wbo show an aptitudo for teach
ing to enter a Normal school and there
complote tboir education and fit them
selves to toach.
There are, we believe, now, ton
-Normal Schools in operation. Thoy
noed tho assistance of tbe Slate and
have been receiving it Tho " stieBcs-
tion is, toabolish these Soldier Or;, ban
Schools entirely, and distribute those
2,526 children among the ten Normal
schools ; and then you vet foi them
bettor educational advantages, and at
a greatly diminished cost to the Slate.
By Ibis von get clear of 110.000 de
partmental expenses you gel clear of
Ibe principals, teachers, maids and ma
trons of iioentyfive distinct institutions,
with an expenditure of, say f 100,000.
at tbe least and other matters to
which wo need not call attention. Tbis
plan will benefit tho Stato and the
scholar, and ought to be adoptod.
Tbe Normal Schools could receive
them all without any additional out
lay or expense. And an empty Treas
ury, aory for economy , and professions
of reform bring this man up for prompt
attention,
