TUB MARSHAL IS FA MY.
The Grant Sherman attachment for
carrying elections tor Radical purposes,
is thus illustrated by the Baltimore
Gazette: '
"An interesting commentary on tbe
practical working of the Federal Flec
tion law, is furnished by a petition aow
nendinir in the United States Circuit
Court in this citv. The Attorney
General-of th State and tbe Bute's
Attorney fur this city, on Saturday
last filed a brief in support of a motion
that certain United States Marshals,
ndicted under the State law for as-
xaults upon voters at the pulls, be re
manded to the Criminal Courts of
Baltimore city for trial. These Deputy
Marshals were Indicted (or assault, and
they were rescued from the justice
of tbe Btate law by tbe removal of
their cases to tbe United States Circuit
Court, where their trial it ust as sure
to result in an acquittal as that of a
State Judge of Election Is certain to
end in a conviction. As to the deci
sion upon this petition it it quite sate
to hazard a prodiction. It will be de
nied. The object of the Federal Super
visor law and tbe unlimited employ
menl ol special Deputy Marshals is to
control th elections in tbe interest of
tbe Republican party. Tbe appoint
ment of tpecial deputies and the arm
ing ot thorn with pistol and bludgeon
ia logical only upon this hypothesis.
When these Deputy Manuals did on
the last election day assault and club
Democratic voters in this city, they
did tbe work which waa expected of
them, and the work which they will
do on a larger scale in tha election of
1880, If spared. The present casct will
merely serve to settle tha law of the
case, xue great Dusmess win oe w)
oleot or count in the Republican oandi
dato in 1880. Of course, if Judge
Bond were to remand tboso Deputies
to the State Court for trial, it would
make officials of that class timid here
after in tho use ot the club, and thus
defeat tha great object of tbe law,
which authorizes the swearing in of
hundreds or thousands of them, if
need be, on the day of election. This
shows sufficiently that there is only
one remedy for those evils, and that is
tho repeal of the whole iniquitous leg
islation. The law authorizing the use
of United States troops at the pells
mnst be repealed. The Federal Super
visor law must be repealed. Tbe law
authorizing an army of special Deputy
Marshals must be repealed, fortius
purpose tbe present extra session of
Congress is really called. The last
Congress refused to pass the bills ap
propriating moueys for the purpose of
carrying out these vicious laws. The
present Congress will stand firm aa a
wall of rock on the tamo policy."
Show up rat Rascals. For ton
ears or more millions of dollars have
boon drawn out of the United Slates
Treasury, to pay Radical sneakt under
the title of Marshals, who stand around
the election polls for the purpose of in
timidating and bull-dozing citizens in
to voting tbe Radical ticket. The
Democratic Sonata and House have
takon steps to stop this theft, and we
are glad to notice that Senator Wallace
has made a demand on "tbe Govern
ment" to show its accounts. A Wash
ington telegram to the Philadelphia
Timet, bearing on this case,says : "Sen
ator Wallace seems determined to got
at the bottom of the employment of
Assistant Marshals in tbe State of
Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Mas
sachusetta and Maryland, and offered
a resolution for a statement of the ac
counts ot these officers. Mr. Wallace
says these accounts have never been
given to the public, and it ia hit inten
tion in the coming investigation wbicb
be will institute to get hold of all the
facts at present concealed in Pbila-
dslphia.
Tm Senatorial Caucus. Accord
ing to tbe call issued by Senator Wal
lace, Chairman of the Senatorial Can
out Committee, the Democratic Sena
tors met in the Senate Chamber at
Washington, on Saturday evening,
March 15th. All the Senators were

as, Jones, of Louisiana, and Hampton.
of South Carolina. The object of the
caucus was to take measures prelim!
nary to the formation of the standing
committees. Senator Wallace was re
elected Chairman and Senator Beck
Secretary of the caucus. Tha follow
ing named Senators were appointed as
a committee to re arrange the standing

A Washington telegram, of the 22J
Inst., indicates that the Democrats in
th Senate and th House Intend to
"take the ball by the horns" in matters
of legislation, and in that way restore
the country to its former status by re
pealing all obnoxious laws placed on
the statute books by tho Radicals. The
dipatch eaysj : "Representative IIouso,
theCnairman oi the Democratic caucus,
to-day appointed the tollowing com
mittee to confer with the caucus com
mittee of the Senate with a view of
determining what the order of busi
ness shall be during the extra session :
Messrs. Chambers ot Mississippi (Chair
man), Carlisle of Kentuoky, Cox bf
New York, Ewing of Ohio, Springer
of Illinois, Tucker of Virginia, Atkins
ot Tennessee, Clymerot Pennsylvania,
Reagun of Texas, Ricknoll of Indiana,

oommittee, Immediately after tha ad
journment of th House, met In the
room of tho Committee on Ways and
Moans for the purpose of holding a
preliminary conference previous to
their joint session with the Senate com
mittoe. A general interchange of views oc
curred with regard to tbe most practi
cal mode of procedure, and considera
ble difference of opinion was manifest
ed as to the most effective and judi
cious course to be adopted. Without
passing upon any resolutions what
ever, and after conferring with Senator
Thurman, tbe Chairman of the Senate
caucus committee, It was decided to
postpone all further consideration of
the question at issue until to-morrow
morning at IV o'clock, at which time a
:oint meeting will be held with the
Senate committee and definite action
ill probably to taken, the nature of
which will be reported to a joint cau
cut of tha Democratic members of each
House. Although the time for bold'
ing the caucus has not yet been an
nouoced."
Souxbodt Blundieino. The New
York -Sua sayt that tht attempt to
nominate a Southorn man for Speaker
because he waa a Southern Democrat
hat done the Democratic party injury
and that every candid and reflecting
observer of political events muBt ac
knowledge it. Is not that queer De
mocracy? It looks as sectional and
selfish as anything Wendell Phillips
ever uttered. Tbe editor of the Baiti
timore Gazette, in alluding to this dark
shine of the Sun, says : "We pretend to
be calm and truthful and assume to
keep track of all the large-sized politi
cal event. We fail to see wherein the
Western and Southern members of
Congress havo injured the Democratic
party by supporting for the Speaker
ship a man identified with the South
and living in a Border State. If the
Southern Democrat are unworthy of
tbe confidence of tbe Democratic par
ty then the Democratic party 1 on
worthy of tb confidence of the coun
try, for the Southern element is large
ly in the majority. If tbe Southern
members of the Democratic party aro
guilty of an offense in asking to be
troated with equality, then some ttepi
should be taken to remove their disa
bilities. Wt really thought that the
union nau been restorea and made
whole but it seems otherwise."

The reason why tuch a large num
ber of the Southern representatives in
Congress happen to have been Confed
erate soldiors ia that during the war
of tbe robollion, the brains and culture
of the South went to tbe front to fight
Howevor mistaken tboir cause, they
were willing to show their devotion to
it by risking their lives for it. Their
soldiers represented such a large and,
by all odds, such a rospectable portion
of their community, that in the selec
tion of representatives they must needs
be confined largely to ex-Confederate
soldiers. In the North it is quite dif
ferent. Many of the loudest-mouthed
loyalists bad no taste lor fighting.
They were and ever tince bavo been
vigorous in their assertions of patriot
ism, but tbey snuffed tbe battle from
afar. Mr. Blaine, for instance, rather
than prove his faith by his works, tent
a tubatitute who got into the Provost
Marshal's office and from there was
promoted to tho penitentiary. The
Cameront about that time were more
interested in getting army contracts
for themselves and their friends than
setting squadrons in tbe field. Mr.
Conkling't beautiful figure was, we be
lieve, never exposed as a targot for
rebel bullets, Zach Chandler has told
ut only bow hit back waa turnod to
the enemy. Dawes and Hoar were
both in the prime of life when tbe war
broke out, but neither ever bucklod on

3. D. Tie Bloomsburg Columbian
hits somebody below the belt in this
fashion: "So fur as we know Jeff.
Davis is not running for any office.
These continued attacks on bim, while
harmlesa in result, show that either
the Republicans are badly off for cam.
paign Ihsuos, or else that the mass of
thoir party are presumed to be asses.
Why single out Jeff. Davis, who was
no more guilty tban thousands ol
others? Alex. H. Stephens was Vice
President of the same Confederacy, and
now sits in Congress and is toadied to
by the Republicans whenever be casts
a vote that suits them. Grant made
tbe rebel Genoral, Akerman, his At tor
noy-General. He gave tbe bloody
Longatreet the best office in tbe South
Hayes took his Post Master General
from the list of ex-Confederate Briga-
adiers. Mosby, the noted guerilla, not
only dictated appointments at Wash
ington for years, but baa been appoint
ed to a first-class consulate. If the
object of all this is to bury the dead
issues of the past, so be it j but it is
illogical to promoto one rebel for that
purposo, and endeavor to keep alive
sectional hate by causeless attacks on
another. We honestly believe today,
that it Jeff. Davis would join the Re
publican party, it would not only
receive bim with open arms, but would
gladly give bim political promotion u
it were in its power." '

A newspaper man, in alluding to an
ugly affair, says: "It ia not a 'Roland

Simon. Just now old Winnobago has
not to deal with Indians, Enow-Noth

whom be oao easily manipulate. But
tbit time It's a 'vidder1 and a broken
heart, made ao by Simon'a perfidiout
brokon promises. In tbe criminal
Court at Washington she has dragged
th gay old deceiver, and, aa usual In
such cases, considerable dirty linen Is
being washed. Simon's former letters
to the 'viddor' breathe love and dovo
tion, but since his passion has cooled
or hit affectioni have gone roaming in
other quarter, he has gone back on
his old flame. But 'vidder' Oliver

A SUERRIFF VSDER ARREST.
V. B. Marshal, R K. Cumpbell, ar
rived here on Friday evening, having
in charge George A. Williams, Sheriff
of Armstrong county, sentenced to the
penitentiary for "crookedness" in re
gard to his election in 1877, and in
whose oaso the Supreme Court grant
ed a special allocatur. Williams was
arrested for violating two of the revis
ed statutes of tha act of Congress re
lating to the collection of pensions,
and the charge of the Government con
tained in the information drawn by
the United State Attorney ia to th
effect that be fraudulently obtained
pension money and also committed for
gery In order to procure tbe same.
The Government expect to show that
tbe father of Williams was killed in
tb army in 1864 ; that Mr. Sarah
Williams, tho wife of the deceased, ap
plied for a pension; ibat she never
heard what became of it, and never re
ceived a cent of pension. Mrs. Wil
liams died In 1877. It subsequently
transpired that the papers bad been
approved, and a ponsion allowed ; that
the check for tbe money were made
payable to Mrs. Sarah Williams, and
that ber name to tbe same waa forged,
and tho money collected, and it 1 fur
thermore claimed that the defendant
received the money in all 11,100 or
11,200. Tb arrest was mad by di
rection of the department at Washing
ton City. The, defendant says . bis
mother was cognizant of the fact that
tbe pension wus grantod ; that she au
thorized him to draw it, and wanted it
kept from liar other children, ajid final
ly that eh owed bim some money
which she desired to pay and did pay
to him out of the pension proceeds. He
promptly entered bail in the sum of
11,500, and was released for his ap
pcarance at Court Pittsburg Critic.
Th Tramp Bill. Tbe Lower
House of our Legislature has passed a
bill to penisb tramps. The bill passed
by a vote of 123 yeas to 50 nays, the
Greenbsckers arraying themselves on
the negative tide, on tho ground that
the measure was oppressive and ty
rannical. The biii provides that any
person going about from place to place
begging shall be deemed to bo a tramp
and guilty ef miademcauor, end on
conviction shall be sentenced to solita
ry confinement at labor, or in the Boun
ty jail or workhouse for not less than
six months nor over eighteen ; provid
ed, that if he can prove that ho does
not make a praclico of going about
begging ho ahall bo discharged ; also,
that any tramp who shall enter a
dwelling against tbe will of tho occu
pant or kiudlo a fire in the highway
or on tbo lead of another, or be found
carrying any dangerous weapon, or do
or threaten any injury not amounting
to a felony, shall upon conviction be
sentenced to solitary confinement at
tabor fur not over three years. A sim
ilar bill bas been in force in some ot
the Eastern States, and tho tramps
have vanished. Like the whipping
post in the State of Delaware, it makes

General Zachary Taylor. While Gen.
Lawrence was in tbe Black Hills In
th service ol the government four
years ago, hit wife became nnduly in

Secretary of tbe Belgian Legation, at
Washington. There was trouble, but
things quieted down aud ran along

when Mm. Lawrence deserted her hus

A fow years ago we were told of the
horrible fate wbicb would befall the
country if the army should be with
drawn from the South and the carpet
bag governments should be brokon up.
Tbe people of the South met the prob
lem bravely, compelled the withdrawal
of tbe army, expelled the carpet-bag
gers and thieves and assumed the man
agement of their own domestio affairs.
They have passed from uncertainty
and chaos to stability and prosperity,
and th carpet-bagger and his plea for
protection have passed out of active
current of politics. Nobody now
questions tbe right ot the South to
self government or doubt her capacl

before tbe fact was made known, and
what changes were made in them
while In tbo lawless custody of the

ter. Mr. Yocum and Mr. Hastings.,
being lawyers, well knew that tbe ab
straction of tickets from a ballot-box is
forbidden by law under severe penal
ties, and that to aacrodly are the seal
ed ballot-boxes regarded by courts,
that they will allow them to be open
ed only on proof that tho ends of jus

ao. ' For tbera to advise or assent to
tbe theft of tickets from boxes and take
the stolen ticket into their possession,
even to make a private examiAationof
the votes cast by particular individu
als, was ao utterly lawless act and
could be- dictated by no honest pur
pose. It is vory evident that exhaus

peration of those who committed and

much to expose them to the word.
How Republican Caaifaiu!! Funds
wiat Raisid. A late development
jives us some fbBide sight of tho po
lilies! saints who have been running
tho Republican party for yours. It
appears . that Bob Mackey, lately de
ceased, who was the "Big Injun" of tbe
party and who carried Conventions in
hit breeches pocket, was a partner in
divers gambling houses, from which he
received a regular "divy," and which
money, no doubt WM that nsed to de
bauch the ballot box. This was the
secret of the large campaign fund al
ways at band whon needed, which we
know by experience was always put
where it would do the most good.
Mackey was the man who made tick
eta for ministers of the gospel and other
good men to vote; but it can't bo a
very pleasing reflection for them to
know that the men they voted for
were selected by a gambler. Since
Mackey'k death his executors have
suod some of his gambliug partners for
the "divy" which belongs to bit estate.

."A Luckt Doo." The Know Noth
ing ex-Governor, who was crowded out
of the Mint and assigned tb the Naval
offlco, but failed in his confirmation,
baa been re-appointed by Hayea, be
causo the commission of the incumbent
expired. The Philadelphia Times, in
alluding to this freak, eaya : "Governor
Pollock ia now in tbe Naval Uttice,
with tho advantage of possession in
case the Democratic Sonate should
slumber over bis confirmation. Should
a bittor dead-lock come botween the
President and Congress, Pollock would
probably be one of the viotims ; but if
things go smoothly bia confirmation is
reasonably certain. Mr. Uiostand re
tires very generally regretted by his
brethren of tho press and by most of
his party friends. He is one of the
good lellows of politics, made a good
officer, and has well deserved all that
ho received from the party spoils."
Riciivino Un Friends. A Wash
ington telegram of tbo 17th says :
Mrs. Jonks, whose antics boforo the
Potter Comrailteo created a much cf
a sensation as her namesake, Captain
Jenks of the Horse Marines, is not dis
posed to sink into obscurity. Sbe came
here a few weeks ago and has been
conspicuous on the fashionable prome
nades, but apparently not satisfied with
the limited attention which has boon
bestowed on her, sho stirred up gos
sips on Saturday by making ber first
appearance at tho White House, done
np in stunning costume. Sbe sent in
her card to Mr. Hayes with the inti
mation that she only called to pay her
respects. Theootsidert suspected that
she had an ax to grind ; but as her
family is already provided for, hor ob
ject was probably nothing more than
the gratification of hor own vunity."

standing in ibe rotunda of tbe Capitol,
viewing tbe beauties of the building,
the wife of one of tbe members of the
Houso had ber pocket picked and lost
considerable sum of money. Tbe
robber was a daring fellow to do this
right between tho Sonate and House,
whero all the laws are made. It is a
mark of boldness and enterprise seldom
equaled, even in these days of high-
toned education and moral refinement
How It WaiDo!e. The Philadel

Thursday. Mr. Stephens, of Georgia,
advanoed tbe theory that tbe country
wat inrtcrtng excruciatingly and was
in need of some legislative emoluments ;

" Both Houses ot Congress took
matters very easily to-day, and tbe

detailed statement of the amount paid
to Marshals in Now York, Pennsylva
nia, Massachusetts, Ohio and Maryland
to date, and the character ot services
performed by Deputy Marshals during
the fall elections of last yoar. Senator
Wallace is determined to find this out
and the Republicans showed their tn
williugnoss to hav the facts como to
light by endeavoring to-day lo kill tho
resolution with amendments. Mr. Ed
munds offered one which should have
been entitled "An amendment to en
able Secretary Sherman to favor the
Senate with a campaign document for
the us of Marshals and Doputics in
elections," but Souator Wallaoe saw
through it, and the majority sat down
on Edmunds for tbe second time thi
session. After accepting an amend
ment of Senator Coukling's culling for
similar information from all tbe Slates
after that first asked for is turnisbod,
Wallace's resolution was adopted.
After a two hours' session tbe Senato

civil service reform policy. A thrice

an angel unawares.
Ob, Deau I Some of tho lladical or
gans speak about a conflict between
Congress and the executive Well, it
would only be a conflict between a law
ful Congress and fraudulent President
and the former represents tho peo
ple, while Hayes only represents Mrs.
Jenks, Mad. Wells, three Returning
Boards and aliunde Joe Bradly. Let
the conflict come. Thousands ot Dem

Joun PniLror Curran. When bis
schooldays were over, and his college
career ended, Curran went to London
to keep bis terms for tbe Bar. Hn
finances wore often vory low, but bis
spirits kept high, and though oppress
ed by poverty he did not give way to
despair. A story is told of his going
dinnerleas to St. James' Park, where,
silting hungry on a bench, be began
wbistling an tnsli-tune. An elderly
gentleman paused to rest on the same
seat and struck by tbe melancholy
look ot tho youth, inquired : "How be
came to be sitting there, whistling ail
Irisli tune when other people were at
their dinner?'1 Curran replied, 'He
would be at bis dinner, too, but a
trifling mutter delay in remittances
bhged him to dine on an Iruh tune.
The stranger struck with Ibe playful
manner ol the youth, Invited bun to
dine at a neighboring tavern, and ere
long was delighted with the humor ol
the young Irishman. Curran was
equally pleased with bis new friend,
and, a your afterward, when Curran
was known and famous, recalled this
occurrence to his entertainer Maok
lin, tbo celebrated actor with the as
surance, " Ion ncprT acted better."
A Goon Law. We notice that the
State of New Jersey has passed a law
providing tor summary investigation
of unlawful or corrupt expenditures by
officers ol towns or incorporated vil-
lages. I nuer us provisioni,twenly-nvs
tax-payers can halo tho offenders be
fore a Justice of the Snnremo Court
on ten days notice. Failure lo comply
wun toe manuaie oi me uoun is pun
ishable as a contempt by fins and im
prisonmenl. This law certainly affords
an opportunity for a celerilous settle
ment with unfaithful officers. A similar
enactment in Pennsylvania might be
of service. Tho "law's delay" in many
instances has proved a most effectual
protection for criminal offenders. '
A oro Hour. Tho people of the
