Yankee plantation manners Sprague
after Conkling with a shot-gun.
Dead. Col. Honry, C. Eyer,
prominent citizen and well known
Democratio politician, died at his home
tn Selinsgrove, Snydor county, on tbo
3d of August, agod 82 years.
Ygs, IT is Awful I A contemporary
romarks: "It is sad to reflect when
at last Senator Conkling decided to
make the 'Greatost Effort ' of his life,
be was ovorreacbod by such a pigmy
as Sprague."
Alarmid. Tho editor of the Phila

cited over "the Glover roport, as well

Mori Alarm inq. The "shot-gun
policy" hits been the nightmare that
has alarmed the average Radical for
ten years. Now, nnfortunatoly, thoy
have another caso on hand the one
of the Sprague-Conkling calibre, which
went off in Rhode Island ono day last
weok.
OuTBAUEOfs. The irrcpentantrebel
editor of tho Now Orleans Picayune
attempts to blast the character of the
great American tramps in this coward
ly manner. He says : "Gen. Grant's
private purpose in going to India was
to see if thore was a jug or not. He
now says there was nothing in it."
The Home Roost. Whon tbe Wal
lace nee Tellor coramittoe, of which
Mr. Blaine was the founder, entered
New England to show np political dis
franchisement and balldoiing, Mr.
Blaine mnst bava regarded tbe event
as an awfully sad cose of chickens
coming borne to roost.

Romance and Fact Blended.
"Narragansctt Bay" has beon rodaocd
to song for many years ; but hereafter
it will be embalmed as "Narragansett
PIER," where Sprague and Conkling
inaugurated the shot-gun policy in
New England. If this was a Missis
sippi caso, bow wondorfully it would
shock tho nerves np North, and, per
haps, joopardizo the Union.
Upside Down. Last y oar tho Green-
backers elected five members of tbo
Legislature in the city of Louisville,
while tho Democrats got away with
but two and tba Radicals none. At
the election week before last, the Dem
ocrats skunkod both tbe Greonies and

last week, except the happy escape of
Senator Conkling's diaphragm from
being peppered with bird shot No. 1,
by Governor Sprague's mmiatnre how

election in Pennsylvania will be held
on Tuesday, the 4th of November.
Votors must be assossed two months
preceding tbe election, that Is, on or
before Thursday, September 4th.
Voters must have paid a State or
County tax ono month procoding tho

Clearfield, Pa., Aug. 20, 1879.
Pretty Slow, Too. Tbo editor of
the Somerset Herald announces that
"thore is not a Democrat in the land
capable of understanding the ABC
of finance." As tbe Radical party has
been in power tor nearly twenty years,
and in all that time have shown so lit
tle knowlodge of the mansgomont of
the finances of tbe country, it is pretty
evidont that there is no one in that
party capable of doing what tbo oonn
try needs. Wby has not that party,
when it had plonty of opportunity, re
liov.ed the country from financial dis
tress? If the Democrats are ignorant,
and the Republicans are allwise on the
subject of finance it is simply an out
rage, which is a mild term to ubo, to
koep the country in distress and suffer
ing. Wise mon of the Radical party,
why aro you so slow in coming to tho
front with your financial panacea to
fix up your own bad job 7
Bad Equality. Tho Wallace In
vesligating Committoe has boon mak
ing inquiry into tho provision of the
Constitution of the State of Rhodo
Island, which requires a property qual
ification for foroign-born citizens
claiming tbo right to voto. It is said
that over throo thousand naturalized
foreigners aro disfranchised in that
Stato, becauso they do not own real
estato to tho value of 1134. The
restriction applies only to foreign-born
citizens. Native Amoricans can vote,
whethor white or black, even though
they do not own a dollar's worth of
real ostate. The Democratio party of
Rhode Island is in fnvor of removing
this nnjust restriction, so that all
classes of citizens may bo placod on an
equality, so far as tbo right to vote is
concerned.
A True Representative. It soems
that the Backeyo Democrats aro
"bearding tbe lion in his don."
banner in Democratio processions in
Ohio is a piece of red calico with the
inscription, "Citizen Foster's war rec
ord. Seventy-five cents a yard." Tho
Radical nominee for Governor was one
of those loyal fellows who remained at
home and prosecutod tbe war with
vigor, by saying, "Boys, go and give
tho rebels h 1." Then, aftor he got
the men shoved to tbe front, ho would
sell the women calico and muslin at
from sixty to seventy five cents por
yard.
Tart. The Bellofonte Democrat
close in on the Radical candidato for
Stats Treasurer in this foxy manner
"Will Petroff take lb stamp for But
ler T It 'Previous Question' Hooten
want to have a rousing campaign lot
him start Petroff oat in th country to
explain bow his good, kind friend But
ler saved him from deserved disgrace
by voting against his expulsion from
the House last session," Now we
raise thit question : I a man fit for
Stat Treasurer who voted against tho
expulsion of this noted political scoun
drel T How is it, Mr. Butler T .
UWU TOSED 'CIVILIZATION.
New England is tbe abode of the
modern philanthropist. In that section
povorty is looked upon as worse than
crime, if local legislation Is a true in
dex. Investigations show that a largo
proportion of tho Deputy Marshals
employed to supervise the elections are
the worst class of bummers and crimi
nals. They cannot only vote, but aro
empowered to arrest and imprison
honost voters at thoir own sweet will
An investigation which has been made
during the past week by tbe Wallace
Senatorial Committee in Rhode Island,
brings more prominently to light tho
manner in which the foreign-born citi
zens are disfranchised in that blato.
No foreign-born citizen is allowed to
vote thore unless ho owns real estate
to the value of one hundred and thirty-
four dollars. A man may be a voter
to day, but through a rovorso of for
tuno, loso bis property and bo denied
the right to vote to-morrow. The
testimony shows that in Providence
many foreign-born citizens lost thoir
voto by tho city taking their little
property for public improvements.
Ono witness testiBod that according to
his estimate there were 9,000 or 10,000
naturalized citizens in Providence de
prived of the right of suffrage.
For this disfranchisement of voters,
the Republican party is responsible.
Tbe naturalized voters are mainly
Democrats, bonce their exclusion. Tho
consus of 1870 showed that in Rhode
Island thoro were 58,742 male residents,
twenty-one years of age and upwards,
yot six yours later at the exciting
Presidential election of I87G, only 2(1,.
027 votes woro polled, or over thirty
thousand less than the number of
voters reported by the census of 1870.
Probably if Rhode Island has the
alternative of losing a representative
in Congress and an doctoral vote for
President, the Stato will enfranchise
bor foreign-born citizens. In that
caso it will becomo a Democratic State.
Legging for an Jsmpibe. A con
temporary states that Senator Bon
II ill is corresponding with William G
Dix, of Peabody, Massachusetts, on
the subject of centralization. Mr. Dix,
who is a Republican, blames that par
ty because its statesmen did not at the
end of the war throw aside the Con
stitution of tho United States "bury
It in tho same gravo with slavery"
and adopt a National Constitution.
II is idea is that under our Federal
Constitution tho miserable old ciy of
States rights will always bo hoard. Ho
thinks that there should be a National
Government, the Governors of Slates,
though still eloctod by tho pooplo of
the State, to have thoir commissions
signed by the National Executive, the
Mayors of cities to be commissioned in
tho same way, in fact, that State
Courts, State Militias and State Con
stitutions should be abolished." The
man who holds such views should go
to Europe where bo can enjoy himself,
and not annoy his neighbors here with
his political heresies.
His Conversion. A contemporary
remarks : Ex Senator Fenton is a soft
soddorer and Grant is easily soft sod
derod. Wbon in Paris ex-Govornor
John T. Hoffman and Grant, who have
long boen friends, were talking togeth
er at a reception given to the members
of theooinagc convention, of whom Fen
ton was ono. Grant had boen all smiloB
until hosaw Fenton approach him, when
he shut bis mouth, looked heavy and
belligerent, and Fenton put out his band
soft and undaunted. In ten minutes
Fenton bad captured Grant. Without
putting it too thick he complimented
him with such suavity that Grant felt
it Ho said : "General, bowovor we
may have differed on things of politi
o.l expcdioncy in our own country, he
would be a very poor American who
did not rejoice in a foreign land at all
the honors given to Goncral Grant."
Hoffman has an idoa that Fenton will
oome homo a Grant man.
Done Some Good. Tho New York
Herald, in roply to the insolont ques
tion of Republican newspapers, what
good has boon accomplished by tho
Democratic Congress 7 vory portinont-
ly answered that just as soon as the
appropriations came under tho control
of tho Democrats the lobby aitappeared
from Washington. The Herald might
have added that as soon as tho Demo
crats obtainod oontrol of Congress tho
interest on all that part of the publio
debt which could be refunded vat re
duced to four per cent. If, tbon, tho
people wish tho return of tho Republi
can party to power thoy must wish tho
lobby back in Washington and the in
terest on government bonds restored
to 6 por cont.
SrEAKiNO Truthfully. Tho Phila
delphia Ledger, (indepondent Rep.), in
commenting on the largo Democratic
majority in the Kentucky Legislature
takes occasion to say : "Almost Invari
ably the party that has an overwhelm
ing majority runs riot. We know how
it is ourselves with the vastly dispro
portionate number of Republicans in
the Pennsylvania Legislature. A
worse ono than the last it would be
bard to produce. Feeling its strength
it attempted and in some instances
did scandalous and outrageous things,
and would bavo run all tho schomes
through but lor rivalry among the job
bore thomsolves, and an unmistakcable
resistance on the part of the constitu
encios."
So we oo. Tho Philadelphia Timet
alludes to the fact that "General Bob
Toombs loft his comfortablo quarters
at Whito Sulphar Springs the other
day that he might travel fifteen bnn
drod mile to attend a mooting of tho
Board ot Trustees of the A thons, Geor
gia, University, lrom which institution
he was expelled whon a boy for indulg
ing in a fist-fight with his room-mate."
In connection with this, the oditor
might have stated anolbor fact : That
God. Schofiold, now In command at
West Point, bos expelled four boys
from that Institution, for "basing.'
About twenty five year Ego tbe Gen
was in th same fix expelled.
A Lightning Cure. In Pittsburgh
a lady who had been afflicted with
ever rheumatism tor many years was
sitting at a window In her boose dur
ing a storm, when she suddenly be-
came frightened at the lightning. She
becam ill, remaining so for couple
of day ; but when she recovered, her
old complaint bad disappeared, it is
thought never to return.
LABOR INFORMATION.
Wo notico by tho l'hilude Ipliiu Timet
that Secretary Evarts had tho happy
thought, when he took cliurgo of tbo
Stato Department, of giving tho Uni
ted States Consuls abroad something
to do by directing them to investigate
the rate of wages paid laborers in tbo
country where they were stationed,
tho cost of living and tho stale of trade.
Some interesting facts aro furnished
by their reports, which ought to put
American laborers in bettor humor
with their lot. Tho most important
point is thul the laborer in tho United
Status is paid bettor wages and can
support bis family more cheaply than
tho laborer in any European country.
The condition of the laboring classes
is especially gloomy in Germany,
whore tho avorngo weekly wages of
tho agricultural laborer, without board
or lodgings, are but $3,50, and only
half that sum whon ho is housed and
fed bv his employer. Wanes do not
rule much higher than this in Belgium
or France, but tho laborers in tho lat
ter countries aro more thrifty and con
tentod. Wages of all sorts of work
men aro much less in England than in
this country, while tho pncoa of food
aro fully a quarter highor. But strikes
and drunkenness render thooondilionol
the laboring classes in Great Britain
much less happy than their conditions
would allow. Our Consul at Sheffield
estimates that each workingman in
that district on tho average loses ono
day of each week through drink, which
is equal to a loss of ono sixth tho pro
ductive powor of the district, and this
vico, with its consequent loss, scorns
to bo on the increase Meanwhilo tho
successful efforts of tbo Trades Unions
to prevent tho reduction of wnges havo
disorganized many industries, and tho
condition of almost ail manufactures is
very discouraging. On tho wbolo,
there doesn't seem to bo much ground
for tbe American laborer to grumble
whon he compares his lot with that of
his fellows abroad.
TnaTwiNS. Anoxchango remarks:
"Tbo friendship which bus recently
grown up between tho Mulligan states
man, Mr. lilaino, and the Agnos Jenks
financier, Mr. JohnShorman, is really
beautiful. If the impending disaster
to tho purty i,i Maine is not made a
rock upon which to shatter this holy
attachment, who knows but that tho
fraternal oxamplo of Dumon and Py
thias may bo not only "seen," but that
those ancient gentlemen may actually
be raised out of tbo game."
Conscience Monet. Tho rude mnn
of tho Baltimore Gazette hits tbo rfc
facto President under tho belt in this
way : "Wo foci called upon to contra
dict the story which is floating around
to tho effect that Mr. Huyos will con
tribute 5,000 to advanco tho interest
of tho Republican party in tho Ohio
campaign. Besidos being a violation
of tbo rules of civil service Mr. Hayes
feels that it would be unjust to tho
Democratio party to uso Mr. Tildon's
salary in this way."
Not CoMPORTAni.E An exchango
says: Residents of Mahanny City are
in a chronic state ot excitement lrom
an impending danger that portions of
tho town will ono of theso days sink
into a coal shaft underneath. One of
tbe gangways of the Elwood colliery
undermlnos part of tho town, and when
shots are fired by tho miners tho re
port is distinctly hoard and the ground
is so shaken that window glass
frequently broken. Tho neighborhood
is thickly populated.
A Gospel TRUTn. Tho Now York
Herald seldom contributes anything to
tho Democratic side of truth. How
ever last week tbo oditor said : "Tho
singlo, notorious fact that sinco tho
Democrats obtainod tho mastery of
tho Houso the lobby has utterly disap
peared from Washington, is an argu
ment which every farmer and median
io can understand. It moans that
huge and wasteful leaks in tho Treas
ury have boon stopped."
Quay Is not a bad loader, and as long as ho
lends his influence to the deration of mrn with
records as puro as lhatof Mr. Hollar, tho Reaub-
llcane will not oomplain, If the Drmoeratit do. Ho
is omlneolly better than tbo Wallaces, the Ken
dalls, tbe Barro, tho Vpeara, aod the Paddies, at
bo dors not resort to their loiquitous prartioee and
organises snoeors at too polls.
"Records as puro as that of Mr.
Butlorl" That's good. We find by
that "puro'' record, that Mr. Butler
voted "no" on the expulsion of that
noted Lcgislativo briber, PotrofT. Who
has tba impudence to defend such a
record ?
Nothing or the Kind in Him.
Tho Philadelphia Timet, in alluding to
the Spraguo-Conkling scandal, winds
up by saying: " II there is any chiv
airy in tho man, now is tho time for
him to show it." Col. McClure should
know that if a man pocketed the ro.
marks mado by Sonator Lamar, that
ha is only fit to lead a woman est ray,
although he may be a prominent can
didato for Prosidont,be is an alien to
chivalry.
Congressional News. The Bullc
fonte Republican of last woek gives tho
following :
"Al Congressman Yooom was drlf Ing hli span
np Alleghanoy street, on rrllay anoronoo, one
of tbo horsoe becomo frightoood and reared np
straight la tbo air, coming down on its eido. The
harness was loosened and tho animal put npon
its loot wtiooutaoy aaroage navtng noen done.
Tho result was lortunnto, because
this (XX.) Congressional District
might bavo been rendered vacant, if
'.be result had beon otherwise.
A Soldierly Remark. The Atlanta
(Ga.) Consfrfufion says: General Leo
asked a straggler ono day, whom bo
found eating green porsimmons, if ho
did not know thoy woro unfit for food.
"I'm not eating thorn for lood, Gen
eral," replied tbo man, "I'm oating
them to draw my stomach up to fit
my rations.
To Let. Whon Conkling was in
vited to take tho stump in "Ohio, ho
was forced by the multiplicity of his
duties in the cast to daclino. We fool
authorized to say now, however, that
Ohio can havohiin. His engagements
in Rhode Island have all boen cancel
led for the present.
Newspaper Enterprise. The Now
York World asserts that the body of
A. T. Stewart was recovered nine
months ago by his family, and that the
sum paid for tho recovery was 150,000,
And th Herald dovotos four columns
to proving that the body has not boen
recovered.
THE LEGISLATIVE RRIREHY
CASES.
V e learn from the 11 arrisbu rg Patriot
ot Thursday last, that the cases of tho
Commonwealth against tbo persons
chargod, with attempting to secure
votes for tbe riot bill by means of
bribery and corrupt solicitation, con
tinuo to excito much speculation.
Twenty two indictments will be laid
before Ilia next irand jury, which aro
distributed as follows : Chits. B. Salter,
9; D. K. Sboemakor. 1 ; E.J. M'Cuno,
1 ; C. Loiiff, 1-, "Jesse R. Crawford, 4 j
A. W. Leiseuring, 2 ; W. II. Kentblo, 4.
Tho attorneys for Messrs. Kemblo,
Leiseuring and Long wore, on tho 13th
inst., notified to enter bail bolore Alder
man Muurur for tbe appearance of
thoir clients at Court. In the ulter
noon MeBsrs. J. C. Bomberger and Win.
II. Kemblo gave bail to the amount of
S500 on each charge. Bail was entered
for Mr. Chris. Long by J. J. Dull, Esq.
All of tho indictments will be laid bo
fore tho grand jury on Thursday of
Court week, and in cuso truo bills are
found the committee bus decided to
proceed with tho triuls tbo next day,
unless tho defendants movo a postpone
ment, whon tho caso will probably go
over to an adjourned Court. Much
surmise is indulged in as to where the
money is to conio lrom to pay tbo
necessarily largo Icob of tho distinguish
ed counsel engaged for tho prosecution.
Many aro inclined to bclievo that tbe
luwyors huvo been guaranteed thoir
pay only in ciso of the success of tho
Common wevllli in tho suits and that
then a future Legislative appropriation
will be relied on ; but a Patriot report
er learned from reliable authority that
the Legisla ive Committee is able to
command my amount of money ro
quired and that one of tbe prosocuting
lawyers hnl stated that he and his
colleagticaiffiil be paid by private sub
scriptions.
WE SECOND THE MOTION.
The editor of tho Cambria Freeman,
in alluding to political cut throats, says:
Stanley Voodward, a Wilkes Barro
lawyer and somewhat prominent as a
politician, if a son ot the lute distin
guished Juc'ge Georgo W. Woodward,
and his Dciiocrucy, like his father's,
ought to be beyond suspicion. But it
isn't, for during tbe political campaign
of last year ho consorted with tho sup
porters ot lloyt, also a Wilkos-Iiarro
man and a porsonal friend ol Wood
ward's, and if ho did not voto for Hoyt
his course both before and aftor tho
election win such as to induce tbe be
lief, not only in Luzerno county, but
outside of it, that he was not much ot
a Dill mat. The Democratio Conven
tion of Luzerno county met last week,
and ono of tho nominations then to bo
mado wui that ol Presidential Judge.
Woodward was an aspirant for tbo
place and it was thought would bo
successful, but ho was defeated by Wm.
S. McLean, and thus reaped tho legiti
mate harvost of tbo political seed
planted by him last Fall. And so it
should always be. A Democrat who
will stub his party by refusing to sup
port Its nominations, and afterwards
impudently Beck otllco from a County
Convention, deserves uo quarter, and
in a political sense should be beheaded
on the spot The example sot by tho
Luzerno Convention in this instance
ought to bo imitated by every Demo
cratic County Convention in tbe Stale
whcnovei a recreant to his party at
tempts to filch from it an endorsement
of his claims to an office. The strength
and integrity of a purty can only be
presorved by making odious all muni
testations of treason to the decisions of
its Conventions, whether county, State,
or National."
The New Tramp Law. As tho
new tramp law went into effect on
Friday, tbo 15tli ot tho present month
wo now givo a brief summary for tbe
benefit ot those who may not havo
preserved tho full text. Tho law pro
vides as follows :
"That any person going about from
place to place bogging, asking, or sub
sisting upon charily and for tho pur
pose of acquiring monoy or a living.
and who ahull bavo no fixed placo of
residence or lawful occupation in tho
county or city in which bo shall bo ar
rented, shall bo taken and doomed to
bo a trump and bo guilty of a misdo-
meanor, and, on conviction, shall bo
sentenced to undergo an imprisonment
by separate and solitary confinement,
at labor, in tho county jail or work
houso, for not more than twelve months,
at tbo discretion of tho Court. Any
tramp who shall entor any dwelling
house, against tho will or without tbe
permission of tbo owner or occupant
thereof, or shall kindle any fire in the
highway or on tho land of another
without tho owners consont, or shall
bo lounil carrying any tiro-arms or
other dangerous weapons with intent
unlawfully to do Injury or intimidate,
shull be sentenced to imprisonment by
solitary confinement, at labor, for a
period not exceeding throo years."
Tho act does not apply to females,
minors under the ago of sixteen years,
nor to any blind, deaf or dumb person,
nor to any maimed or crippled person
who Is unable to perform manual labor.
As tho act makes the offences named
a "misdemeanor," Justices ot the Peace
can not try and disposo of tho cases,
but must bind tbe parties to appear at
Court for trial. This, it the tramps do
not not clear oat, will impose a serious
cost on tho counties frequented by
thoso posts.

Cutting Limber. A Washington
correspondent of the New York Herald,
on Friday last, said: "It is so hot in
Washington that Mr. Hayes has to
loan up against tbo jamb of a door to
fool that bis backbone is all there."
That is oortainly treating "the Gov

HOW KATE CHASE SPRAQUE
CAME TO BE A POLITICIAN.
THE BEi'UKT HISTORY OF THE ELECTORAL
COMMISSION STRUanLE REVIVED
CONKLINUj's INFATUATION WHAT
THE (lOeSII'S ARE TALK1NO OF
A COUPLE OF DIVORCE SUITS
POSSIBLE.
Tho reader of current European his
tory is aware that women often figure
in the polities of that country. This is
natural, because many of them are born
Princesses and aouio becomo Quoens,
and banco they have a right to med
dle in politics. -I'ut in this country tfcrir
situation is entirely different, and when
a woman turns politician she always at
tracts more or less attention ooeause
of tho novelty of her conduct. For
tbo purpose ot Inlorming our reauers
upon the last dash made hy woman,
wo copy from the Washington rosi oi
Auirust II, the following:
J ho all-absorbing tonic ot oonvor-
sulion in Washington is the l.onming
Snracuo scandul, and the t0Jf, tho
other day, with its four columns of
specials, was in demand ovorywucre.
Wherever two or three were collected
together on tho street cornors thoy
were proltv sure to bo discussing that
subject, and there were few who could
not tell something they had heard
about tho relations of tho two most
prominent Individuals. Everybody
had, as usual, to rely upon tho Post for
tho news ol this, tbo lutest sensation,
Now that the scandal bos bocomopub
lio pronortv. tho rrossips have loosened
their tongues, and ono can hoar more
n an hour than could Ho printed in a
dsv about tho Intrigue between Mrs.
.Spraguo and Senator Conkling. Tbe
I'ost, with a view ol giving the public
only what is reliable, listened to all
that was said, and weeded out, as dobi
it could, from the mess of gossip afloat,
that whicb was credible and worth
publishing. Thoro are now in Wash
ington many who will romembor tbo
first appearance oi Kate Chase in so
cial circles hero. She was young, vi
vacious and beautiful ; thoroughly ed
ucated and brilliant. She bad boen
the intimate companion of her futher
evor since bis entrance npon tbe po
litical arena, and more than once be
relied on bor tact and beauty to pull
bim through sharp political contests.
In lHb'J. whon at the zeinth ot bor so
cial powor, she lout a powerful hand
towards making her lather, the then
Chief Justice, the candidate of the Re
publican party for President. She had
been for several years the constant as
sociate and chief confidante of her la
ther, and become acquainted with bis
ambitions, his f riends and his strength.
She studied politics with the zeal ol a
newly-fledged orator, and devoted hor
whole mind and onorgies to the one
object of placing bor father in tho
Presidential chair. It was part of hor
ambition, also, toroign as tbe first lady
ot the land. She olten talked with
her friends on this subject, and bor
marriugo witb Senator Sprague was
generally believed to be one that bad
only this end in view. Sprague at that
time was immensely wealthy, and too
Chase party noodea money. Sprague
also imperiously controlled tbe politics
oi ithouo Island, and his money and
influence were worth having in behalf
of a Presidential candidate. Tbe
scheme fuiled, howevor. Lincoln was
renominated, and J ud go Chase became
detached from bis purty. In 18C8,
however, ho was prominently men
tioned as a possible Presidential candi
date bolore the Democratio Conven
tion, and his daughter, who had at
that time becomo Mrs. Spraguo, again
took an active part in his behalf. She
was recognized in Washington as one
of the brightest, wittiest and most fas
cinating women at tbe National Cap!
lal. Her passion, as well as hor apt
ness lor politics and political intrigm
seemed to increase with ber social
power, She cultivated public men un
til she know a largo number quite in
timutely, and even so late as 1876,
though known but to tew, exorcised
an influenco upon the last Presidential
election, which kept one man's mouth
shut and possibly changed the result
altogether, Hor acquaintance with
Senator Conkling had ripened into re
lations of the moat confidential nature.
It is believed that sbo exorcised over
him a powerful influence. It is even
declared by many who bad frequent
opportunities to know Conkling s opin
ions during tbe electoral struggle that
he was withheld by Mrs. Sprague's
influence from publicly declaring his
conviction that Tildon was the right
fully elected President, and that his
hitborto nnaocounted for vacillation
was attributable to this causo. At one
limo ho boldly declared that the frauds
practiced in Louisiana and Florida
lurnisbcd all tbe basis necessary tor an
overthrow of tho pretext that Hayes
was eloctod, and for tbo ewearingain of
1 Helen, lio mado no secret ot bis dis
gust at the efforts of John Sherman
and others to count in Hayes, and, it
is asserted, agreed to make a speech
denouncing the fraud, but nothing
camo of it, Mrs. Sprague occupied a
front scat in tho members' gallery of
the sonata every day during the ex
citing count, although nobody thought
oi nor a anything but a spectator.
Tho day that Senator Conkling was
to riso in bis soat and demolish the
fraud, arrived, and those familiar with
the programme wore in their scats.
Senators Alcorn, Spencer. Conover.
and several othor Republicans, woro to
voto with him against tbo approval of
mo partisan derision oi the J'.lcctoral
Commission. Enough Republican vo-
tors bad boon aocured to make Ins vic
tory certain. Col. Pelton. Mr. Hewitt
of New York, and many olbor promi.
nont Tilden managers, had scats in the
gallery for tho purposo of hoaring
Conkling's speech. To thoir utter
amazement, however, he did not ap
pear at all, and it was also observed
by somo bright people that Mrs.
Sprague was absent for the first timo
Senator Alcorn, in fulfillment of his
word, first voted to reject tho decision
of the commission, but alter he discov
ered that something had gone wrong.
ho changed his vole so as to make it
accord with his party. It was subse-
nnontlv discovered that the shrewd
Radical managor of tho Zach Chand
ler stripe bad ovcrcomo Conkling bv
winning Mrs. Sprague ovor to their
sido. Thoy hsd persuaded bor to take
an intorost in Hayes' success, and, it is
said, she kept tho New York Sonator,
on whom so much depended, from ap
pearing at the Sonato Chamber that
day.
Now that tho scandal is made pub
lio, a thousand incidents of tbe rela
tions of Mr. Spraguo and Senator
uonkling are told. J hat they Ire.
qnontly rode out together until very
Into hours, is prolty well known to
many. A family driving towards
Edgewood, just alter the extra session,
stopped a runaway horso hitched to a
coupe, Within a short timo Sonator
Conkling appeared on the read and
claimed tbe horse and.vchiclo. It had
already beon recognized as th prop
orty of Mrs. Spraguo, and th family
discovered mat in Dors bad broken
awny from its tother while unattended
Telegraphio information received
here staled that Mrs. Sprague had, in
view of th lata bohavior of her hus
band, left him for all time, and tba
opinion is freely hazarded that one
and possibly two suits Tor divorce will
grow out ol this emeute.

THE WALLACE COMMITTEE.
Tbe Washington Post , in alluding to
tho progress made by this Senate Com
mitteo, says :
Since tho reorganization ol llio
Senate on a Democratic basis placed
Mr. Wallace at tba bead ol the Com
mittee to invostigale eloction frauds,
and gave to the Democracy the direc
tion of that Committees operations, iv
has e-iven to the country a vast lund
of information, all tending to show tbo
settled nurooeo of the Republican man
agement to control tne eiecuunn hi mo
South, not only by lorco of tbo laws of
Congress, but by means ol laws, do-
vices and contrivance in t" muiuo.
No luct was ovor more clearly dem
onstrated than that tbe solo purposo
of appointing Deputy Marshals has
been lo increase the Kopuuncan voiu
bv unjust methods, and at the cost of
tho public purse. The investigation of
elections in Philadelphia brought out
a startling array of tacts and figures,
which actually proved more than any
Democrat in tho Senate or House had
alleged. Tbe United States Marshal
ot that city frankly admitted that
tbero was no occasion for the sorvices
of Deputy Marshals in order to insure
a quiet and fair election. It waSBhown
that the brigades of Deputies appoint
ed bard work' for the candidates of
that party. It was proven that many
ot tbe Deputies were men of tho worst
character, who had done the Stato
somo service in tbo penitentiary and
otber penal institutions. And although
the pile of 'paying dirt' in the Quaker
city was scarcely diminished at all by
tbe brief investigation, enough of ras
calily was developed to make such a
case against tho Radicals, and against
thoir election laws, as to astonish tho
whole eouiXry and convince every
honest man that tho corruption, and
not the purification ol the ballot, was
tho one only object of appointing Dep
uty Marshals there.
Wo have taken Philadelphia as an
average sample a lair illustration.
The researches of the Committeo in
other directions bavo brought to light
the same general condition ot things.
While Mr. Hayes was hypocritically
professing a desire to preserve the pu
rity of the ballot, the Committee was
proving, by an impregnable array of
tacts, that tlio laws whoso repeal ne
resisted were only to corrupt tho bal
lot-box and make it render a lying ver
dict. Tbis was so plainly shewn, and
with such overwhelming effect, that
the Radicals evaded discussing the
evidence presented, and branched oil'
on numberless tangent, indulging in
a profusion of vague generalities hav
ing little relevancy to the question at
issue.
Last woek tbo Wallace Committoe
appeared in Providence, Rhode Island,
whoro it sunk a shall and struck a lead
which is likely to make that diminu
tive Commonwealth more prominent
as an objoct ot National interest than
she has been since tho Dorr rebellion.
It is not with tbe election corrupting
law of Congress and tbo .National bull
dozer that the Committee has boen
doaling in tbe domain of Anthony.
Local disfranchisement and local cor
ruption of the ballot are the great fea
tures of the situation. It has boen in
contostibly proven that the Demo
cratic State of Rhodo Island has been
and is made Republican by systematiz
ed and persistent disfranchisement and
intimidation. In the singlo city of
Providence o,U00 foreign-born adult
males are robbed of tbo right of sul
Irago. On last Friday a reputable cit
izen of Providence testified that 'pre
vious to tbe change in tho registration
law thoro were 6,000 qualified foreign-
born votors in this city, but since then
thoro wore only forty out ol 5,000 who
were qualified to vote.' Another wit
ness testified that 'many ot the manu
f'acturing establishments carry their
employes to tbe polls and make them
voto tbe Republican ticket ' Hon.
Thomas Davis testified that 'the poorer
classes are so much under tbe control
of tbo wealthy that there is very little
voting from principle.' Thomas Mo
Marraugh testified that 'there are
many foreign residents who will not
become naturalized, because they
would thus become subject to draft,
etc., and yet not to be entitled to vote.'
Several other witnesses testified that
'they desired the franchise, but wore
unable to obtain tbe requisite real es
tate.' Thoso aro but samples, and the
worst has not yet boon reached.
A real estate qualification, for the
lorolgn born citizen only, is such an out
rage on equal rights, such a base dis
crimination against a class, that wo
are sure it will be detested by honest
men ot all parties. According to the
laws of Rhode Island a man may be a
lax-payer til his lifo having personal
properly only may be conipellod to
serve in the army to suppress insur
rection or ropel invasion, and yot ho
cannot vote tor any ofllcor, municipal,
Stato or National ; while the meanest
native-born white ir black can vote,
bo long as be keeps out of tho pen
itentiary.
It has boen known lor years that
the cotton lords of BJiode Island rule
their employes in the mutter of voting,
with an absolute, despotic sway. Tho
workingmcn are plainly told that tbey
must vote the Radical ticket or get
work elsewhere. We admit that H
isn't very heroic to submit to compul
sion, but we are not speaking ol heroes.
These nro poor and very practical
men. Thoy have wives and children
to be fed and clothed. Rather than
risk hunger and cold, and continued
suffering for tboir families, those mon
voto against their convictions. Shall
we blame them, or the proud purse ar
istocrats who give them the choice of
thus voting or going out to bunt for
work in an over stocked labor market,
and on tbe threshold of winter ?
Whllo thus, for years, Rhode Island
has boen bold by the Republican col.
umn by the moan above montioned,
while that Democratio State has boon
misrepresented in tbe Senate and
House by Republicans, bor Senators
and Representatives have boen loudly
bowailing the fact that tho while peo
ple of the South, solidified by the cruel
hand of oppression, bavo retired tbe
plantation negro and th thioving car
pot-baggor from the National Capitol!"

Harry (on his dignity) "What you

A Loyal Distinction. In .Radical
Rhode Island a foreigner has to own
real estate to tbe amount of $134 be
lore he can vote, while a negro needs
only to pay his dollar poll tax and put
in bis ballot.
