THE REPUBLICAN. CLEARFIELD, PA. WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY. II, 1ST9. E.XC1TIXO TIMES AT HARRIS- BUIia. lKVtHTIOATlON OF TUB CDAROEH OF ' iiBlDEBY l.V JUt B10T HILL. HAitRiBiiuRa, Pa., May 1. Tho first session of tho IIouso Committoo ap pointed to investigate the chargos ol Mr. Wolfe, a mombor ol the Legisla ture to the effoot that corrupt means were employed in tho attempted passage of the Riot Claims bill, was hold with closed doors on Tuosday evoning. 1 be bill was known an jioubo bill 103, and it purpose to appropriate $4,000,000 to reimburse the Pennsyl vania Railroad Company for losos oc casloned by the riots in the summer of 77. The evidence thus far produced tends to show that William II. Komblo, ol "Addition, Division, and Silenoo" notoriety, waa and an aotivo middle man between tho corporation to be benefited and tho members ready to bo approached. When theCommitteo mot on Tuesday evoning, all of the members were pres ent, and a throng oi spectators was in the room. A briof consultation ot the Committee was held, after which Rep resentative Gatchell, Chairman of the Committee, requested everybody to re- tiro, in order that the Committee mitteo might hold a privato confer ence. Alter tlireo quartors ot an Hour, the doors were opon long enough for the announcement to be mado that the sossion would bo mado eocrct. This course waa dotorminod upon by the votes ot Committeemen Catcholl, Rhodes and Doyle, againHt the protest and voto ot Wolfe. William H. Komblo was called. Ilis examination occupied an hour and a half. Ho was sharpley quostion by Mr. Wolfe. At the closo of his exam ination he hurried from the Com mittoo to his quarters in the Brady House. On tho following day the question of opening the doors ot tho Committee Room was raised in the House by members who wished to bavo a public examination, and aflor a soriea of stormy sconos it was agrcod that mem bers should have a public hearing if they desired it. A throng was pres ent a tthe scBiion ot tho Committee in the evening. C. L. Magoo, a Pitts burgh Fire Commissioner and a well known political manager, was ques tioned. To the printod questions ho gave a negative answer. In answor to further questions he said that he bad paid newspapers for publishing articlos lavoring the bill, and bad given to Burton, a mombor of tho House, a check for 177, to pay, ai ho supposed, for publishingsuch notioos. Ho thought he conld produce the chocks that he had given, and the Committoo gave him till next Tuesday to find them Charles B. Salter, Secretary ot tho Committee on Ways and Means gave negative answers to all of the regula tion questions, and said that ho had not carried mossagee for Komble in ro gard to the Riot Claims bill. Mr. .uin.igi.1, uiciuuur ui me JlousoUo- clined to be sworn, saying that il sworn he must prefer charges against a member of the Committee. Mr. Wolfe advisod him to go on with his charges; but Rumbergor still doclinod to be sworn and said that ho was " terribly npsot." He was allowed to go, with tbe nnderstaqjing that ho would tostify on the following day. ItoprosonUtive Graff was sworn. He answered "No" to the printed questions till he came to the last. He testified that he met Salter on the train going to Philadelphia while the Riot Claims bill was pending, and aflor some conversation in regard to the bill Salter said : "I'll see yon," or something of similar import He testified that lator he took some boor and a walk with Saltor in Harrisburg, and Saltor said that some pooplo who would be benefited by tbo passage of tbo Riot Claims bill had raised a fund, out ol which Komble. Ouav and others would pay 1500 for a Tote in favor of the bill, and 11,000 for a vote and a speech, adding: "Wo do not expect yon to make a spoecb, but havoagroed on 11,000 for yen. It is to offer an amendment that oil shall not be tax ed." lie tbon proposed to introduce Graff to Komble and Quay, but said "You mustn't say anything to Quay Labout monoy. The introduction to Kemble and Quay took place In the offico ot the Secretary of the Com monwealth. On tho day of Graff's examination Salter met him, and being told that ho was summoned to testily said : "You needn't say anything about rao as I than t offer you any money." The witnoss voted against the bill am) tostifiod that he ontortainod these ne gotiations merely out of curiosity. Representative J.U.White testified that Saltor advised him to vote for tho bill, and told him that ho would find it to his advantage to go ovor and see "them,"' in any ovent. lie voted against tho bill. Myron H. Silverthorne, a represonta- ,! I. T 1 1 ... 1.1 vo irum nine, was oauea, and bis story was told without hesitation. He testified that about the 2d of April, W. F. Rumbergor, Representative from Armstrong, approached him with the question : IIT. 1, IX . . iioum yon line to make some money T " "That depends upon circumstances,'' was the reply. "There is a chance to make somo," said Rumbergor, "out of the Riot bill. I am to have $1,500 lor voting, and I'll give you one-half of it for voting with me." Silverthorne said he would take a fow minutoa to think about it, and forthwith went down and consulted his colloague, Mr. Short. Short would not give advice, and it was agreed to consult Wolle. Mr. Wolf heard tbe story, and said to Sil verthorne : You will be justified in doing any thing to expose anch corruption. My advios Is to accept the proposition, and find out who ia to give money." When Silverthorne and Rumbergor next mot the latter said; "Well, what have you concluded to do about It?'' Btk-or-thorne aaid that ke bad ooncludod to go with him. "Then," said Rumbergor, "they want to see yon at headquar ters." The walked to the Brady House, and Riimherger Introduced Silver. thorne to Keinbleand went down stairs, leaving them togothor. Silverthorne told Kemble that ho had not mado up his mind what to do about the bill. Well," said Kemble, "if you support tbe bill, whatover is arranged between you aud Rumborgor I will soe it's paid." When Silverthorne went down Itum- borgor said to him : "Did you see me put that picco of paper in Kemble s hand? Woll, I had written $750 on it. The customary price is $500. That what thoy aro in tho habit of pay ing, but out of rospoct for you I've in creased tbe amount $250. " n bile giving bis testimony Silvorthorno said : "Rumborger mado mo promise never to toll, but of course I lied about that." When ho reported those things to Wolfe and Short, they told him to go ahead. Hovotcd for the bill on the socond read ing, but tho money was not paid. Ho complained, and was told that Kemble bad gone home. He said that u be didn't got tho money bo would not vote for tbo bill again. Wolfe bad told him to get part of tbo money as evidence. Soon afterward he told Rum bergor ho would not voto for the bill acain. and. Rumbomer then denied that ho had ever offered him money Silverthorne further testified that, at his first interview with Kemble, the latter gave him a note to Klisha Davis, of tbo House. He never delivered it, and now produced tbe original, as fol lows: Dm Liihi : Trv and nalr all oor aliaantooa. Silvortboroo wiU try and pair Kinealdowith Snort, w. 11. a. Silvorthorno asked Short to pair ac cording to this arrangement, but Short wouldn't do it. The Committee mot to night In the House of Representatives. Josoph B. KnitUo, Representative from Columbia county, testified that in the early stago of this bill he had been approached by Goorgo F. Smith, a mombor from Phil adelphia, who said that all who voted for its passage would lie paid, and that $500 wore being offered for each vote, Subsequently the sum was increased to $1,000 and still later promises wore mado for a largoramountnotspocifiod promising that Col. Elisha Davis, a membor from Philadelphia, would ar range it. As his vote was not in tho market for sale, he never saw Mr. Davis about it. Harry Watson, a momber from Morcer county, tostifiod that Kmilie J. Potroff, a momber from Philadelphia, who, in 1870, was oxpollod from the House for corruption In connection with tho boom bill, told him that monoy was being paid. lie promisod that If Watson would join what be called tho "Rooster Gang" ho could mako monoy out of it. Last night, Potroff again saw Watson and begged him not report this conversation to tho Committee, but to snswer "No" to all questions. In most bumble manner and almost crying ho callod upon him as a Free Mason to protect him. John Wesley Cargill, a momber from Susquohanna county testified that two different portions had sought to intro duce bim to William II. Kemble, Jesse R. Crawford, Assistant Superintendent of PublicGrounds,offered him first $200, aflorward $500, and again $1,000 to be paid by Kemble. Charles P. Salter, ox-member from Philadelphia, then offered Cargill $500 for his vote, and at anoinor interview be promised $1,000, witb an amendment to tho bill provid ing that farmers should not be taxed. This money was to be paid after the bill had finally passed the House, and he was to be guaranteed by William H. Kemble and Matthew S. Quay, Secretary of the Commonwealth. Col. Rumborger, an Armstrong Rep resentative, was unablo, on account of illness, to give testimony. Ho bad already statod to Silverthorne, of Erio, that Kemble had offered him $1,500, at tho same time seeking to bribe Sil verthorne, introducing him to Kemble for that purpose. Chairman Gatchell said that unless Rumborger improved soon he would be unablo to appear for a woek. Further testimonoy developed the fact that a wholosalo purchase of news papers bad boon mado through the State, at ton cents per lino for reading notices and $200 for editorials. Kem ble bought tho mombors, and Chris. Magce, of Pittsburgh bought the press. Mr. Kirk, who is tbe representative from Schuylkill county, and owner and and editor of tho West Schuylkill rress, had been indiroctly offered this amount by Magoe's mossenger. By far the most important testimony was offered by Lewis Emory, Jr. repre sentative from McKean county. Ho has boon long identified with the pe troleum interest as a produoer, and is a member of tho Producer's Protoctlve Union. While the Riot bill was on second reading, he rooeived a telegram from B. B. Campbell's home at Par nassus, near Pittsburgh.. There ho met George Shiras, counsel for tho city of Pittsburgh, in Its claim for roim bursomont by this bill. Shiras agreed that il the oil dolegation would sup port the Riot bill, a Free Pipo law would be enacted, together with anti discrimination measure which tho oil producers have boon seeking for ten years. He furtbor promised that tho tax on potroloum, commonly called the derrick tax, requiring producors to secure a liconse before drilling upon thoir own lands, should not be imposed. The liconse foe amounting to $1,500 is in effect almost a prohibition, and has boon held over tho heads of the oil dolegation as a cudgol to force tbem into support of the Riot bill and the spoiliation of the Trousury. The guarantee came through Bhiraa from Hampton, counsel lor the Pennsylvania Railroad. This railway further prom ised its Influence to secure tho passage of the Roagon Inter-State Commoroe bill through Congress. But the oil delegation stood up to the rack and re fused to sell their votes, and in a secret caucus, hold after Emery's return, re solved that If tboy wore to be punish ed by a prohibitory tax for not passing this bill they would submit ; but that they would not make themselves a party to this crime. From the very first Emery refused to surrender himself, and only laid tbe matter before the dolegation at the re quest of Shiras. The witness exhibit ed loiters from Matthew S. Qoay, Secretary of the Commonwealth which were sent to him while the Riot hill was und or discussion endorsing Shira'a offer, and asking that the Blot bill might be delayed a few days. As Mr. Emery was stepping down from tbe witness etaad a crowd belonging to the Philadelphia delegation, and coiled Roosters" who bad favored the bill crowded around him, and Senator Klliott, who is knoorn as a special champion of the railway interests stepped up, and making a taunting re mark sprung at him, attempting to knock him in the face. Emery quickly avoided the blow, and was set upon by the others. Then followed a scene of tho wildest contusion. Nearly ono hundred members of both Houses were crowded together. E,ves were black ened, coats torn and furniture broken. In tbo melee the letters of Malt. Quay to Lewis Emery, involving the former in the attempt to coerce tho oil delegation, wore lost or stolen. This disgracetul row has been brewing all day, tho "Roostors" gang taking pains to insult members who in any way have lavored Wolfe's attempted investigation. Hard feeling has been growing fur some limo. Political and personal feuds bavo been buried and tho House baa divided itself into two tactions ono favoring the investiga tion, and tho other opposing. TAX ON OIL. The Philadelphia Time says: "If the oil producers are wiso they will ooaso hostility to tho taxation of oil and di rect their efforts to levy such a tax in tho most equitable manner. It iB the one great product of the State that has thus fur entirely escaped taxation, although it is tbe one produot that finds but a small fraction of its oon tumors in our own country. Four- fifths of the entire production of petrole um is consumed in foreign hinds, and no measure of taxation would furnish so large a rovenuo witb so little tax UDon ourown citizons. Tho nocossitios of tho Treasury are imperative in de manding inoroaned revenues ; the oth er productive industries, are already laxed as much aa they can bear ; our corporations aro overloaded witb taxes imposed in almost every form that in genuity can Invent; political interests, to which all parties bow, forbid the restoration of tax upon real estate, and oil can no longer escape its just share ot the burdens of government What the oil interests of Pennsylvania most need is cordial relations with the other great Interests ot the Stato, and that has boon persistently and suicidally prevented by passion, arrogance and the babbling of domagoguos. The oil leaders have bad much to contend with, but their cbiet contost bos been witb thomsolves. If they would propose a wiso and just tax upon oil, thoy would command tho generous support ol the ! whole State ; but whilo they seek to throw the whole wealth of tbe West out of Pennsylvania into other States, by an anti-discrimination act that would bo destructive of the interests of both the producors and the trans porters, and whilo thoy insist that they alone shall dictate laws while other indnstnes bear all the taxation, thoy must not complain if their own follies bring unwiso and barnh exac tions upon tho groat interost thoy rep resent. Thoy ought to be ablo to soe by this time that the blatant dema gogues in their own circles, and the politicians who barter with them on the eve of elections, are not thoir source of saloiv when the dav of trial comes, and luojr van navelitllo exouse for persisting in opposition to enlight- onod reason and publio necossity. A Church Census. The editor of Philadelphia Times has adopted a new feature in his journal. Ho now sends reporters to nearly all the Churchos in that city on Sunday to learn bow many church goers they have in the Quaker city.

The House of Representatives at Harris burg, on Friday last, postponed Indeft nitoly a resolution providing for a fiual adjournment on the 30th of May. But attar a Subbalh day rest and a briof intorview of constituents, on motion of Dr. Early on Monday, it was reconsid ered and laid over fur the present, and can be callod np at any timo. This great deliberative body should do nothing rashly. There is a largo cat andor of business olaiming attention, and they have not boon in session quite yiiv months. It only oosts the State $4,000 per diem, and furnishes food and raiment to the professional politician. Hayes, legislation is a groat evil, if not a crime, and early adjournment should not be prossod. Take time, gcntle- mon. Centre Democrat. WeAssumeToo Mitch. The Wash ington rost says : Mr. Hayes is re ported as claiming that "an executive ought to have power to execute." That is quite true, and unanimously admitted ; but when an executive claims nearly a monopoly of loglstative powor, and undertakes to dictate to Congress the mallor and mannor of legislation, it ia timo for the elocution to atop. Recalled. The bill passed by tbe Legislature,! giving a pension to the Pennsylvania soldiers who served in the Mexican war, and which we Intend ed to publish this week, has beoa re called from tbe Governor, and fs again pending before tho Legislature. Bad For Tie Brother. "The Rev. Conrad L. Molt, pastor of Emanuel German Lutheran Church, at Detroit, has been arrested at tbe instance of the Rov. Emit Harodrot, also a Luth eran olorgyman. The charge is per jury." . John Sherman, as the Radical oan- didate for Governor of Ohio, don't mean Grant ibr a third terra it means John for one term If the people are foolish enough to endorse bim. TBH BECOXD VETO. The veto mossago of President Hayes, returning to Congress without his approval of tbe act to prohibit mili tary interference at elections, will be profoundly regretted by all conserva tive citizens of whatevor political fnilh. Could the Executive have ob tained the dispassionate expression of the Republican merchants, manufac turers, bankers and business men of Philadelphia, he would have receiVl-i an almost unauimona appeal for the approval of the bill he has just vetoed under the inspiration or ooorcion of disturbing partisan leaders ; and tbero will bo a degroo of unrest in bnsinoss circles throughout the country to day that has not boon felt for months past. The intelligent people of all parties woll understand that the socond veto is a purely partisan production ; that it was an after-thought dictated solely by presumed partisan necessities, and that it wantonly unsottles the harmony of tho important departments of the government toinvoke a fresh flood-tide of sectional strife. It is lomomberod that the Democrats in Congress accept ed tho just rebuke of tbe Executive for violent and coercive legislation, and thereby invited unity between the Ex ecutive and legislative powers ; that tho Democrats caucus framed tbo bill now vetoed in fuithful accord witb the suggestions of the President ; that the Republican caucus divided largely as to tho expediency of opposing tho new measure, while only tho most revolu tionary assailed it on its morits ; and with these vital facts it will bo keenly remembered that the President public ly avowed his purpose to approve the bill after it bad been discussed and passed in the popular branch by a large majority. The bill that was yesterday vetoed by President Hayes, was commended to tbe confidence of the country by tbe silonco ot the dis armed leaders; by tho confession of party organs ; by tbo practical sugges tions of tbo voto of the army bill, and by tho avowed approval of the Pros! dont himself. And what excuso is offered for this betrayal of the tranquility aof the country, in obedionco to tho arrogant oommands of revolutionists ? If the President bad not declared bia ap proval of the bill aflor its thorough investigation by tbe House, it might be assumed that he has honestly do ceived himself into his second voto: but with' a manifest purpose of tbe majority of Congress to yield all tho Executive asked on the issue, for tbe sake of attaining harmony between the Executive and the legislative au thority, tho Presidont suddenly rocoils upon himself and presents a veto mossago that is notable mainly for its feebleness In all things save its sell contradictions. I o ono paragraph of the veto the coun try is assured that "any military In lorlorence whatover at the polls is contrary to tho spirit of our institu tions, and would tond to doBlroy the freedom of elections," and in another paragraph it is statod that cortain ex ceptions "recognize and ooncedu the soundness of tbe principle that military force may properly and constitutionally i. ueva t tue places ui elections, wben such use is necessary to enforce tbe constitution and the laws." The fact that the President feels it to bo ne cessary to apologize for the assump tion of revolutionary power ovor elec tions, is manifest from his voluntary plodgo, given in tbe veto message, that no soldiers shall be present at tbo polls to perform tho duties of tbe civil police forco, "under orders from me during this administration." Perhaps not ; but the country would feel much bottor assured on tbe subject jf the the pledgo had come from Conkling and Chandler, who dictated the veto for the two fold purpose of bringing tbo administration into pubio contempt and to deepen tho political convulsions which are expected to recall Grant to a third term. It is difficult to measure at this early day the conscquenoes of this unfortu nate voto. It is of little moment In itself, for tho country could probably go along through another national campaign without having to meet the exorcise of arbitrary military power at the election ; but when it is considered that tho President has needlessly pre sented tho hitherto abandoned issuo of bayonet elections as tbe koy-note of the next Presidential struggto, and that he has wantonly doslroyod tho last hope of harmony between tbe Ex ecutive and Congress when Congress had manfully met tbo Executive on bis own platform, there seems to be nothing left to the country but the strifo and distrust that rocklcso, parti sans would give tho people. Much will dopond upon the wisdom of Con gress, and to the majority that now rules there tho anxious oyos of the Na tion will bo turned. Thoro is nothing to hope from the Presidont Ho chas tened Congross and then dofiled him self, and henoelorth he will be regard ed as the more breath In tho nostrils of the revolutionist who halo him be cause he ever dared to be faithful to the oountry. But no degree of faith lessness on tbe part of tho Executive can excuse or evonextonuato any tolly on tho part of the majority in Con gress. It, is now responsible to tbe whole pooplo, North and South, and to tbe whole industrial and businos inter ost of the land, fur protection against the partisan madness that rules In the administration. It will not do to meet party violence with party violence, nor to revolutionise against revolution, ary power. The neoossary appropri ations should bo made under any cir cumstanoos, and if tbe Exooutive shall abuse the arbitrary power over elec tions he now claims as hil prerogative, the Senate and House have an ample remody in thoir right to reject any veto that eome with the flavor of the sword. The occasion will test, and soarchingly tost, the wisdom and statesmanship of tbe majority In Con gress; bat if it would deserve well of the country, it will faithfully perform it duty and resolve to hold each co ordinate department of tbe government to the atriotest accountability for any invasion of the freedom or sanctity of eloctione.
