To the Honorable the Senate and House 0 Ryrescntativesufhe 1'nikJ Stotet: Tbo petition of '.bo unduraignod niombe'r. of tbo Lcginluture ol l'onn sylvunia, executive officers and cilizou. of tbo Slate t tbo .eat ot Govorn- munt rospectfully roprosont: Tbo coui'He of roueut ovunU ban exoited in tbo mind, of your potitioncr. very auriou. npprubebsion. for tbo .lability ol our institution and the peace ol tbo country. Our Government i. supposed to be administered by agent, ol thepoople'. choice aud tbervloro poriodical eleo tions are neceaaitry. No honorable citizen can doubt that these election, ought to be free and fair. Nor can it be denied that implicit obedience to the popular will when legally express ed by the vote of tbo majority in the plainest of our moral and political du ties. Yet it i. perfectly certain that these fundamental principle, have been grossly and systematically yiolated for many year, last past. Physical force, together with all lorm. of fraud and every spocic. of corruption, havo boon used without scruple to carry State election, and to falsify return.. We do not mention theso fact, lor tho in .truclion ol Congress. luoy aro knowu to all men arid to nono better than your honorablo bodies. You yourselves collectod and laid before tbo country the ovidonce which prove. ithout doubt that the present execu tive administration claimed and cot possession of the Cioverment, not by a vote of the people or their chosen electors, but by manifest fraud, (also protenses and forgery: We bave much reason to fear that theso dishonest practice will be ro- d. Tbo successful lraud ot 1876 ha. emboldened the perpetrators for a sl'rongor effort of tho same kind In 1880. Anothor cheat will compel u. to cbooao bctoVeon two of tho most frightful calamities which can happen to any pooplo, civil war, or tame sub mission to a Government hopelessly rotten. For the sake of the publio poacoand n the interest of common justice, to promote tbo gunoral good and to se cure tbe blessing, of universal liberty ; out of due regard tor the memory of our fathers and a natural solicitudo for tbo welfureof our children, we beseech your honorable bodios to take this Bub- joct into your carelul consideration and make such regulations thereupon as will guard us In the future against outrages like those of tbo past. To accomplish that end it is necessary in tbe first place that certain provision. of existing statutes should be repealed. Wo refer to those act. of Congress bich authorize tbe pretence of mili tary force at election. ; other acts re quiring tost oath, to be taken by jurors in political oaa, and stillnthora which gave to Federal Supervisors and Marshal, tbe powers which they now exercise. Whatever was tbe intent of those enactments it is obvious that tbey may be used by a corrupt admin istration lor improper, unjust and op pressive purposes ; say, it is certain that they bave been so used, and .0 long as they continue on the statute book we cannot hopo for Iree and fair elections. We cordially ap prove the resolution of your honora ble bodies to incorporate the repeal of these iniquitoustouslaw.inthe Appro, pnation bill., and we cannot sufficient ly admire tbe firmness and fidelity with which you bave upheld the rights of your constituents, notwithstanding all threats of revolution irom tho ene mies of liberty and justice. But the repeal which yon propose to effect in this way will not, in our judgment, meet all tho requirements of the times. Thore should be some other measures enacted to secure u. against the fraud and violence, which in the absence of preventive legisla tion, will without doubt be attempted If you shall be of the opinion that State elections for members of Con gress can in any cose be oversoon or the State laws enforced by Federal officers consistently with the oon.titu tion, we cannot objoct to a system of supervision which promises to check false Toting or expose false returns. The appointment by the Federal courts oi good, bonest and lawful men as Supervisors of cloction at places where they thomsolves havearight to voto, and with powers properly limit ed might result beneficially. Rut we protest against all law. which place the right ol .uflrage at the mercy ol unprincipled hirelings, set upon the voters by corrupt agent, of tbe gen oral administration, to pr'omolo its in toroata. The necessity ol subordinating tho military to the civil authority is uni versally acknowledged aa a lunda mental principle of all frco govern ments. The intervention of the army in elections, no matlor on what pre tense, can hardly iail to compass the death of popular liberty sooner or later. It should therefore be made a high erimiaal offense for any military officer to usurp tbe function, of a eivil magistrate, to interfere with tho pro ceedings oi any court or legislative body, to bring any organised fore to to a polling place, to assume the powor of deciding a contested election, to In stall or assist in the installation oi a State officer not duly elected, or any way whatever to intorfer with the affairs oi a State except upon a regu lar demand of propor authorities agreeably to tbe Constitution ; and no military officor who commits such offense tbould be permitted to plead In extenuation thereof that he acted un der lbs orders oi a superior. On tbe contrary, tbe superior officer making such order should be hold as guilty as he who exeuted it. During the pend ingofan election ior electors of Presi dent and Vice President, no act of Congress can constitutionally be made to control the proceedings, lint when tbe ballots are all deposited and the poll closes, tho appointment of elector is, In the opinion of your petitioners, duly made, and any lraudulent attempt to altar it is an offens which may be defined and punished by the Doited States. We therefore pray that an act of Congress be passed for the propor and' just punishment of any Suite offluer who shall willfully mis count the ballots, or inuke a fulso ro turn thereof, oroorlil'y that any portion ha9 been cbon an elector who la known not to have received a majority of the votes actually cost. All persona, whether citizens oi the Stato or not, who encourage, aid or abet such fraudulent practice., before or after tbe fact, ahould be held as in ari lietectu with tho principal crimi nals, and any Federal officer wbo in sists upon casting aa a veto what ho knows to bo a fraud or a lorgcy, should bo puni-thed as'a felon. Let this be extended to members of Con gress, but without abusing their con stitutional freedom of debate If tho President or any head of a department shall appoint to, or keep in ofHoo, a person known to have been guilty ol such election frauds, he should bo deem ed a partirepi criminal, subject to Im peachmont and tried in the courts. There i. yot anothor kind of corrup tion, which, of lalo years, has visibly increased, I. increasing, and ought to be wholly abolished ; .wo mean tbo practice ol raising money for election purposes by assessments on tbo salaries of officeholders. By this device enor mous sums are periodically drawn from tho publio treasury, not to pay tbe expenses of the Government, but to manufacture voto. lor the party in power. In no othor way has the in fluence of tbo general Government been brought in moro dangerous con flict with the freedom and purity ot State elections. We pray your honorablo bodies to stop this by forbidding, under proper penalties, all solicitation, of public orti cors for tboso purposos and all pay ments by them. Wo aro aware that theso measures. just and necessary as thoy are, will meet with violent opposition Irom tbo loos of honest government, but with both Houses of Congress and tbo yot unknown heart of the people in their fuvor, wo cannot believe that tbey will fail, and your petitioners will evor pray, 4c. Signed by tbe Democratic Senators and Representatives in tho reniisylva nia Legislatures THE "ROOSTER: DELE (I A T10X Tbe Legislature has passed its reso lution authorizing a committee ol ten Senators and fifteen Representatives to meet General Grant at San Iran Cisco and wolcomo him back in tbo name of tho State oi Pennsylvania. Of course this resolution Is of no moro effect tban tbo pnsaage of a similar one at a Radical town mooting, and of no mere significance. On tbo wbolo we are inclined to think that the Radical Pennsylvania Legislature aro tbo proper parlies to moot Grant. All their characteristics are in keeping with Grant's tastes as manilested dur ing his Into administration. Thoro foro, when be meets the Pennsylvania "roosters" it will be birds of a feather flocking together. The Senate's quota bas already been appointed and Speak er Long of the Mouse is preparing a list of tho Ilousn chnntlolooiu. W, suggest that he make "Lish" Davis chairman. What "Lish" don't Inow oi "ways that are dark," is scarcely worth knowing. Neither Belknap nor Babcock could get away with their opportunities moro shrewdly tban ''Lish. 11 is history is a sug. gostive one. Coming into the House years ago from a western county be became Speaker at a time when it was proposed to gridiron the Btroets of Philadelphia by a network of railroads and no man could havo run tho bill through tbe House more expeditiously than "Lish," mainly, no doubt, from the interest he felt In them, he becom ing a heavy stockholder in most of tbe roads before tbe grist bad got through tbe legislative mill. This transformed an otherwise socdy lawyer of bare means and less talent, Into an opulent gcnlloman of leisure. Subsequently ho fell irom Camoron grace through an advorso voto where (hat Tycoon was interested, and was, as a punish ment, relegated to tho shade of private life. Latterly, the ban has been taken off and "Lish," again impecunious, struts his brief hour in tbe House, tbo loader of tbe "rooster" gang. Hence ho should be the first selection as "cock oi tbe walk." After him might be named, Petroff for Lieut., another "rooster" wbo a winter or two ago "boomed" with Hordio and was ex pelled from tbe House fur corruption. Petroff has an additional claim to be placed on tbo committee, be- having been provod during tbe present inves tigation with going it fSOO better on tbe Pittsburg Riot bill. And the bal ance of the oommiltoe might be made up ol lollows of tho same kidney, every one bosmirchod with lobbying, fraud and corruption. Grant would delight to receive such a parly ; they would be old chums ovor again ; leg islators after bis own heart. The U. Pacifio will no doubt furnish this vir tuous caravan with' frco passes, others with free liquor and grub out of some ono else's pocket What a high Old timo the "roosters" will bave and bow they will crano their necks, flap their wings and indulgo in vociferous crows when the man on horseback greets these disinterested Pennsylvania dead beads on the Pacifio coast. Danville Intelligencer.- ' ' An Oveesioht. When the Repub lican Senators came to make up their share of the committees, al the present extra sossion ol the Senate, they for got to provide a placo on any of thorn for thoir friend and Irothor, colored Sonator Bruce from Mississippi. Mr. Bruce laid his grievanco before his colleague, Mr. Lamar, one oi thoso terriblo "rebel brigadiers," who assur ed him that be would recoive every consideration bis position and high character entitles him to. This rook, as ii the stalwarts were going back on thoir colored friends. Away With It. It was never tbe intention of tbe framera of our Con stitution that the army shoold be em ployed as tbe police lores of the gen eral Government It was not until tbe Grant era dawned that any party attomptod to employ the army as the customary means of civil administra tion. Mr. Hayes seeks to make this exceptional and abnormal method a permanent feature of ear institutions. Tbe plan will missarry. ' AWFUL ANKIE HARRIAOI OF A WEALTHY WHITS UIBL OF BKAVXR CorNTT TO AN IOKOR- o 'ANT Nil I BO 00 A L MINXIl. Tbo town of Beuvor, which bas turned out more' office-holders to ths square inch undor Republican admin istration than any other point upon God's footstool, bas quite a sensation. A young girl, possessed of many per sonal charms, belonging to one of tho best fumilie. in this part of tho State, reared iu luxury and finely educate J, lult bor borne of refinement in an angry mood and n.arried an Ignorant I negro ooal miner. Annie Moore ia the only daughter and youngest child of a Well-to-do gentleman. Her three brothers occupy positions of publie esteem, two of them being talontod members of tbe Beaver County Bar, and one an accomplished Philadelphia physician. Tbe family is highly connected. She baa been a wayward, thoughtless child for years, wringing with anguish tbe hearts of ber parents by her unreasonable con duct Argument and entreaty were alike in vain.i Her evil oourse con tinued. She had been absent from borne several days this week, and it Is commonly reported her brother from Philadelphia, who was homo on a visit, proceeded to administer a severe per sonal chustieement. Aa early as half past five o'clock Friday morning Mr. Dawson, County Treasurer, glanood out of tho Window and saw her walking along the pave ment, and a few leot behind her two colored bloods. He remarked to bis wife, "1 wonder where Annie can be going at this time?" This seems to have boon tbe last seen ot her until Goo. Johnson, the coloicd coal miner referred to, walked into the house of Rov. Robinson (colored) al Rochester, accompanied by hor. Mr. McGpwan Clerk of the Commissioners of Beaver county, passing by, was called in, and though not recognizing Miss M. at first sight, witnessed tbe marriage coremony. .Miss 41. being ratbor a brunotto, it is possiblo that even the clorgymon knew not of her social standing at tbe timo. Tbe young oouple immediately returned to Beavor and made their arrangements for housekeeping. They went to what is knowu ns tho Muratta place-, near the fair ground, a small houso of four rooms, which they aro to share in com mon with several blacks. Sho wont homo for hor piano and trunk. . Miss M. for tho last three years has caused her parents unspcakabloanxiety by persisting in ber strange career of dissipation. Some fifteen mouths ago she became tbe motbor of a little girl, and alter the shock of the disgraco was somowhat tempered by timo, she re vealed as the name of her seducer a young law stndont, named Crawford, in Attorney Wilson's office at Beavor. Tbo mailer was brought before tho court, and bo, refusing to admit his guilt went to jail and served out his timo. Miss Monro is a daughter of Alfred R. Moore, a prominent citizen of Beavor county, and a brother-in- law of ex-Chief Justice Agnow. Judge Uice of Beaver county is also a rela tive of the ynnng lady, La baoing mar. ricd a daughter of Judgo Agnew. Pittsburgh Crttie. THE VETO MESSAGE. We can Imagine no possiblo contin gency, no combination of circumstan ces, that would render a veto oi an act of the Forty-sixth Congress by Mr. Hayes anything but exasperating and insolent. When we consider this, but for crimes against the Constitution committed In bis interest and reward ed by him, he would now be in private lifo and the Democratic President, duly elected, would be in the White House, his porsistent opposition to the popu lar will, and bis repoatod voto messages cannot be treated as other than grossly insulting to Congress and the people whom Congress lawfully represents. And the fact that Mr. Hayes uses this regal prerogative with such unusual latitude in tho intorost of aristocracy , and In opposition to the spirit of de mocracy, increases the general and just indignation felt for such a course. As we predicted, this message is a labored effort to disguise the actual purpose which it Is intondod to serve, Mr. Hayes professes to find in the vetoed bill a prohibition to the nse of troops for such a purpose as tbe suppression of insurrection of domostio violonce, and he intimates that if such objections as this are removed, be will approve an act divorcing the bayonet from the ballot-box. All this is mere special ploading and misty sophistry Tbe Constitution gives the Executivs all needful powor to nse the army and navy, and no statute could encroach npon or impair that authority in the slightest degree. The objoct, and the only object, of Mr, Hayes' opposition, the sole roason why this weak man lend, himself to tho work marked out by bis masters, I. that the troop, may be nsed at tho polls to prevent a free and fair eloction, In the interest of bonost government, by tbe unintimida tod votes of ths majority. Mr. Uayos further professes to find too much of States rights in the bill. He discovered many things in It that "do not appear on Its lace." He seems to have dotocted a falso bottom that conceals any number of Trojan horses, and a large assortment of treason. atrategems and spoils. True, thoso thing, wero not put In, and nobody knows how they got in, but Mr. Hayes announces that he has found them. But be should bo the last of all American cilizcm to complain ol Slate rights. Ho Is the child to that doc trine in its rankest growth. He was borne Into another man's ofHoo through such an extreme construction of State rights as would have startled John C. Calhoun, such a construction as would bave astonished and horrified tho se cession leaders of 18CI. , . Neither of these objections bave point or weight If a Sozon bills were passed, and tbo men who framed them were studiously careful to avoid oollid- ing with Mr. Hayes' objections, 'It would not be a very difficult thing for Mr. Edmunds and Mr. Roboaon, and tboir associates, to give tbem such In terprctation aa to furnish a pretext for a dozen additional vetoes. It is tbe eottled determination of the Radical leaders to bold on to the bayonet at tbe polls, and they will use the man whom tbey have unlawfully and orim- inally Installed Id the Executive office, to effect this object Wtihinfton Post. THE GAME TO CAPTURE THE , .. .j'juiswexcY. ... , . , Tbo voto message was not coptlncd to tbe bill a bit h Congress had passed by decisive majorities in both Houses, lu the hope of making up a partisan issue, tbo Fraudulent President, under tbe delation of the Republican caucus, went out of his way to introduce and commend in tho following stylo tho Davenport machinery, which had boon invented in 1871 to carry this State t.j. flui.

Every person, whether with or without any authority, power, of any Stale, Territory, or municipal ity, who obstructs, uiuuors, assaults, or by bribory, solicitation, or other wise interferes wilb or prevents the .Supervisors ot (lection, or eituer ol them, or the Marshal or bis general or specisl deputies, or either of them, or which he or they, or cither of them may bo authorized to perforin by any law ot the United States, in tho ex ecution ot process or otherwise, or who by any of tho means before men tioned binders or prevents tbo free at tendance and presence or at such polls of election, or full and free access and egress to' and Irom any such place ol registration or poll ol election, or to and from any room whero any such registration or olection or canvass of voles, or of making any returns or certificates thereof may be had, or ho molests, interferes with, removes or rejects from any such jilaco of regis tration or pou or election, or oi cun vassing voles cast thoreat, or of mak ing returns or certificates tboroof, any Supervisor of election, the Marshal, or bis general special deputies, or cither ol tbem ; or wbo threatens, or attempts, or oflers so to do, or neglects to aid and assist any Supervisor ol election, tho Marshal, or bis goneral or special deputies, or either of them, in the performance of bis or tueir duties whon rcquirod by him or them, or either ol thorn, to givo sucn aid ana assistance, shall bo liable to insfifn? ar rest without process, and shall be pun ished by imprisonment and fine, not more than 13,000, or by both such fine and imprisonment, and shall pay tbe costs ol tho prosecution. The States aro not only invaded by this partisan enactment, in defiance ot tho Constitution, but in flagrant disre gard of all the local laws made to pro- toct tho freedom of elections, to pre vent violence and to preserve tho peace. Theso Supervisors, Marshals, and General and Deputy Marshals, are clothed with a power which strikes down tbe personal liberly of tbe cili- sen, and commits his very lile to the discretion oi tbo wont class of parti sans, wbo may make "instant arrest without process," and in their blind fury may maim or murdor without tbe least danger. Tbey are made the solo jndges of tbe necessity, and, by con venicut perjury, they may imprison innocent men, and load them down with penalties. The vilest despotism never conceiv ed a more infamous system than this is. Professedly, it is confined to Con gressional elections; but mark tbe practical operation. Another act pro vides that tho election ot Representa tives, Presidont and Vico President, shall tako. place on the same day in every State where the Constitution of that State has not otherwise provided. For . convenience, tbe States have ordered thoir elections for Stato, cou nty, city, and town officers to be held on the samo day with that for President and Congress In tho year when the latter are chosen togother. Hence it is seen that undor. tho presence of supervising elections for Congress, this law cntors into, affects, and controls the whole canvass. Herein lies the whole secret of the late voto, and of others which have yet to como. Tbe Republican party sees its last hope of continued existence in suocess al the next Presidential election. It is des- porato, and If Congress yields,' tbo sword, tbe purse, and these unconsti tutional election laws will be nsed without scruple to retain ascendency, Let the country not bedecoived, The issue is plain, and must bo squarely mot -tV. 1. Sun, SPEAKER LONG SPEAKETH. In a recent debate in tbo House at llarrisbarg, on the proposition to ap propriate 112,000 to the Superintend ent for keeping tbe Public Ground, in order, and for furnishing, repairing and improving the Publio Grounds, Sposker Long took the floor, and told some unwholesome truths about tbo manner in which the taxpayers had been robbed through this channel. Ue was-amarting under unfavorable treat mont he bad received from tbe State administration, and "talked right out in meetin'," - - Uo laid that last year, when he was Chairman of tho Appropriation Committer, he had inserted a clause requiring tbo .Superintendent to file quartorly with' tho Auditor General vouchers fur all sums exjiended, but this had been complied With, lie then took up some ol the items In the de tailed statement of the Superintend on npon which the. appropriation waa based. Tbe first 13,000 for paint ing, when he said thore had not been throe dollars worth ol painting done in the past year. The plumbing aud gaa Utting was put at 11,600, whor a man bad a separate contract ior tbe plumbing in tbe Publio Buildings, and charges one or tw hundred pep cent more than he should. Throe thousand dollars was wanted for tho Execnlive Maniioa and be thought tbat it bad bettor be burned down and house rented for tbe Governor than to ex pend this sum annually to keep the Mansion in repair. They wanted $1,000 for paving, and yet be bad been hers for five yean, and In alt tbat time thore bad not been brick laid and the same old ruts wore in the walks. Then there wore 500 for flowers, and 300 for benches, and 15,000 for mis cellaneous. Ho did not know what miscellaneous was, and the ex-Siiper- intendeut, known as the tarmer, bad fulled to file the vouchers as re quired, lie was opposed to paying for flowers and wine for tbe Executive Mansion. What has become of tbe Oregon Congressman wbo shot across tbo con tinent wilh such Icarful velocity to at tend the "Corous" that be lett a trail of sparks and smoke, and the smell of burning cross-tios behind nim r vt uero is Wbiloaker, and what ia bo doing to save the country ? O'sciimafi Com mercial. Voting like a Democrat and honest man as ho is for impartial juries, free elections, and an honest count of tbe volo actually cast. What moro would you havo him do ? Washington Post. The Color Line. Tbo United Slplcs District Court, at . Richmond, a., decides that it has no jurisdiction over tho question of marriage, and, consequently, that it cannot interfere wilh tbo case of tbe colored man and a white woman who havo boon sen tenced to Stato prison for living in tho married relation contrary to a statute of Virginia. This ruling of the Court confirms the right of each Stale to regulate ils own domestic affairs. Taste of Couasi. A Northern lady wbo lately visited tbo Capitol at Wash ington, says: "With tho exception ot Mr. Hour of Massachusetts I saw no Senator who pleased mo so much as Mr. Bruce, the colored representative of Mississippi. Ho was the first su perior colored man I evor saw." Ui$rrUanrou. ARNOLD WANTS Shingle Bolts & Saw Logs, OarwensvUle, Jaa. I, f S-tt TnKOPEKTY I'OH HUNT. X Mra. John B.
