We suspect that thoprimnt ttrrango

candidate, settled upon, or perhaps tho

would not make much difforonco which

Gordon, for District Attorney, is ul-
roady united upon. For Jury Com
missioner, the Groenhackors nominated
F. E. Smith, and the Radicals W. R.
Brown. Tbo former is a Democrat,
and the latlor a Radical. Hence the
Dcmocatic Greenbacker will be asked
to vote for a Rad. for Sheriff and Dis
trict Attorney, while tho Radical will
bo call upon to vote for Smith for Jury
Commissioner. In other words : The
Democratic Greenbacker must take
two pills vote tor a Radical for Sheriff
and District Attorney while tho Rad
ical voter only takes one pill, and votes
for Smith, a Democrat, for Jury Com
missioner. If there is any consolation
in this arrangement for a Democratic
Grovnbackor, we are unablo to see the
point.
The Dead Jurist. Hon. Warren
Woodward, Justice of the Supreme
Court of this Stalo, died at Hamdcn,
New York, Tuesday ovening, 23d ult.
Ho bad bcon in delicate health for a
considerable time, and fora few months
previous to his death his friends real
ized tbut there was but little Lope of
his recovery. Judgo Woodward read
law in the office of his uncle, the late
George W. Woodward.at WilkosBarre,
and after his admission, he practiced
tboro for fifteen yoars, and was ro
garded as the leading lawyer at that
bar. Governor Poljock, in 1856, ap
pointed him President Judgo of the
district composed of tho counties of
Columbia and Montour. Ho was elec
ted ProBidont Judgo of tho Berks coun
ty district in I860, and from that time
he resided in the city of Reading. Ho
was the Democratio candidate for
Judgo ot the Supreme Court in 1874,
and was elected. Although his tcim
of service on the Suprome Bench was
comparatively short, ho sustained the
reputation which he had previously
earned, of being an able, upright jurist.
Gov. Hoyt will, of courso, appoint somo
stalwart Radical to fill the vacancy.
The appointoo will hold his scat until
tbo 1st of January, 1881, at which
time tho Democrats will fill the vacan
cy by an election in 1880.
The DirrERENCE. In thedayswhen
giant statesmen governed, under the
Federal and Whig dynasties, Senators
did not think as Senators Blaine and
Conkling do at the present time, res.
pooling the employment of the regular
army as a civil police. Hon. William
II. Seward in 1856 declared that "Civil
liberty and a landing army for the pur
potes of civil police have never yet stood
together, and never can ttand together.
If I am to choose between upholding
laws in any part of this Republic which
cannot be maintained without a stand
ing army, or relinquishing the laws
themselves, 1 give np tho laws at once,
by whomsoever they are mada and by
whatever authority; for either our
system of government is radically
wrong, or such laws are unjust, une
qual, and pornicious." Blaine and
Conkling, in comparison with Clay and
Seward, come about as near being
statesmen as old Kick does to being a
Saint.
A Uioh-Toned Murder. They had
an assassination in Philadelphia, one
night last week. A Colonel Shisslcr,

Goorgo Truman, Protbonotary, at the

about 2 o'clock in the morning. Tho
Philadelphia Quakers and all other

TI1K STATE TREASURY VfA'tf.
THE ATTEMPT TO REVIVE A CORRUPT AND
POWERFUL CONSPIRACY.
,We have no Congressmen to elect
in Pennsylvania this Fall; no Win
hers of the Staiu.l.pgislature, and no
Stato officers w ith iltu single excep
tion of Slate Treasurer, but upon the
choice of this ofllccr important results
depend Ho is by law the custodian
of all moneys In tho public Treasury
and responsible lor their sufc-kecping.
In recent years, Republican Treas
urers have bad control of millions of
dollars ol balances, presumable lying
idlo in the Treasury vaults, but in re
ality loaned out all over the Stato.
With tho reviving business, which will
largoly Increaso the Stato revenues, it
is almost certain thoro will be large
balances under the control of tho Slate
Tieasurer to be olecled in November,
and who will assume the duties of the
office in May next, succeeding Colonol
Neyes, the present Democratio Treas
urer. Tho Democratio party holds
that this system of unexpended treas
ury balances is all wrong ; that thoy
are a constant temptation and invita
tion to tho liberality and corruption of
legislators, as well as a means of cor
runt and unlawful gain by tbo Stato
Treasurer, who is temptod to uso them
ns Republican Treasurers invariably
have dono in this Slato for the past
twenty-five years, for purposes of spec
ulation. These unexpended balances,
tho Democratic party holds, should be
applied to the reduction of the Slate
debt, and if this canntt be adranta.
goously done, then the taxes should be
reduced so that the revenues collected
will only be sufficient to defray the ex
penses of the Government, economical
ly administered. Wo hold lurlhor, and
our candidate for State Treasurer, Dan
iel O. Barr, Esq., is pledged to this
course of administration, that the
Stato funds, remaining unexpended in
the publio Treasury, shall not be used
for speculative purposes, but sacredly
guarded to meot all just and lawlul de
mands of publio creditors. During the
two years past, that tho State Treas
ury has been under Democratio guar
dianship, thero has boon no scandal as
to its management no Treasury Ring
dispensing favors in the interest of a
political party or the section of a par
ty no misappropriation of tho public
funds. This condition of affairs we de
sire to perpetuate, and if tho Demo
cratic party is successful in the clcc
tion of its candidato for Stale Treas
urer, tho assurance can be confidently
given that it will be dono.
How is it with the Republican par
ty and its candidato T With their suc
cess it is an admitted fact, domonslra
hie by the controlling influences of
their Convention and the surround
ings of their candidate, that tho infa
mous and corrnpt Treasury Ring
which dominated the politics and legis
lation ol Pennsylvania for years, will
be rehabilitated in all its powor at
Uarrisburg. This cannot be gainsaid.
It is in the air. The election of Mr.
Butler will mark a revival of the old
Treasury Ring, with all its demoraliz
ing schemes of personal and political
gain. The adoption of the Dew Con
stitution and the eleolion of Colonel
Noyes In 1877, drove the Ring trom
the Treasury; but as a Republican
Legislature had steadfastly refused to
pass the needed laws lor carrying out
the reforms of the new Constitution,
let the Cameron-Republican-Ring can
didato for Treasurer be elected this
Fall, and within a year tho old combi
nations will be at their old work in
the Treasury and throughout the
State.
From 1861 to 1877, with the excep
tion of two yoars, the Treasury ol the
State haB been controlled by ringstcrs,
some of whom socured their election
the Legislature by the most auda
cious bribery. This was the golden
period of the Treasury Ring's power.
It is reported of one Treasurer that he
piid out in one day, from bis room at
Harrisburg, over sixty thousand dol
lars for the legislative votes that so
cared bis nomination and election as
Trcasuier for one year. The salary
attached to the office wag but five
thousand dollars a year, and under tho
law the Treasurer was not allowed to
use a dollar of the State funds for spec
ulative or personal purposes. But the
Treasury Ring cared nothing for the
law or official oaths. At times there
were as high as three millions of dol
lars of unoxponded balances in the
Treasury. This was the banking cap
ilal of the Ring ; the monoy it loaned
out in prosporons times at six, eight
and ten per cent, interest. The fact
that a candidate could pay out, for one
year In the office, sixty thousand dollars
bribe monoy, shows the monoy tboro
was in tbo place for the Ring. Treas
urer Mackoy lost, by the failure of po
litical frionds with whom he bad de
posited State funds, over one hundred
nd sixty thousand dollars in a singlo
year, yet be promptly mado the defal
cation good out of the profitt of his
other operations witb the unexpended
balances. The Treasury Ring con
ductod a banking business with the
people's money, against which 110 legit
imate bank in tbo State could success
fully compete. - Their capital was the
two or three millions in the Stato
Treasury, and operating through the
Legislature ot ooarse corruptly
they had no difficulty in securing laws
maintaining the unexpended balance
at the highest figures. They aetvallf
collected nncceiiry taxctfrom the peo
ple that they might ipeculate rith the
motif
' Nf v? as this all. While the Treas
ury ringottvs amassed great wealth
out of their speculative operations in
State funds, they built up and consoli
dated a political pewer that controlled
tbe Republican party for years, and
though that party controlled tho State ;
and the attempt la pow being mado,
through the election of the Ring can
didate for Treasurer, to reinstato this
power at tbe Slate Capital. The ways
of tho Treasury Ring In strengthening
their political aapremaoy wore peon
liar, and were felt in every county ol
the Slate where a needed delegate to
a Convention of a dcstrablo member
of the Legislature was to fro chosen
Depositee of State funds were allotted
to tavored pelitlcians to plaee in Jbaaka
for their own personal benefit; and
private banks or chartered Joanka,
whose iofluonoe tt waa taporidtnt to
cure, were mada depositories and al
lowed to snaka what profits they could
by foam's.? the pecplfi money bark to the
people. It was by such methods, as
well as by bold, unblushing bribery,
tbe Treasury Ri"g of Kemblo and
Mackoy, they being the loading direc
tors, was maintained and perpetuated.
Its hold on tbe politics of the State
was firm and sweeping, but fuarlully
demoralizing:. It controlled tho Re
publican party in Convention and Leg
islature; nominated and defeated can
didutes; had a powerful liurrlxhurg
lobby at its beck and nod, and the Re
publican press pensioned and corrupt-
d. 21 was master of the Mate.
It is this Treasury Ring that tho
Republican managers and jobbere pro
pose to reinstato in power at Harris
burg. Thoro has been an interregnum
of honesty and square dealing for a
cnuplo of years. But tho Ring is bun
gry for Kb old power and its old gains.
Tbo plan of operations was laid down
at tho Republican Statu Convention,
and tho first slop was the nomination,
under the auspices of Cameron, Quay,
Kemble & Co , of Mr. Butler, of Chcs-
tor county, for Stato Treasurer. Kem
ble, who promoted this nomination,
was a leading spirit of tbo Treasury
combination when Mr. Mackoy was at
its bead, as well as during bis own
term as Stato Treasurer, when be
amassed immenHO wealth oil a trifling
salary. Buller is the chosen ono of
tbe Ring. Ho is allied with tho legis-
latiro corruptionlsts. llo moved in
tho Republican Caucus that Cameron's
nomination for the United States Sen
ate should bo made unanimous, thus
ignoring and disregarding the honest
sentiment ot tho Republicans of dies-
cr county, llo voted against tho ex
pulsion Irom tho Legislature of the
convicted briber and lobbyist, Potroff.
His especial friends and supporter in
the Republican Stato Convention ro
jeeted with insults and contumely
Wolfe's resolution demanding honest
men in office and denouncing tho cor
rupt methods adopted to pass Kem
ble s lour millions steal last winter.
Uoviously, 111 selecting 41 r. iiutler as
their candidate for State Treasurer,
tho Treasury Ring knew what it was
about. It picked out a rcliablo man
for tho work proposed.
V e turn from this dangerous and
alarming record ot tho Republican can
didate for Stato Treasurer, which
clearly bIiowb his connection with the
worst elements ol the Republican party,
to tho Democratic nominee, Mr. Barr,
and wohavecvory assurance that under
his administration of the Stato Treus
ury the Constitution and laws will bo
rigidly construod and implicitly obey
od, in tho management of tho Slato
funds. Thero will be no speculation
or stock gambling with tho people's
money. Thero will bo no Treasury
Rings. Tbo books of tbo oflico will bo
open to tho public. The unexpended
balance will not be tho banking capi
tal of a combination of reckless politi
cal and financial speculators. Mr. Barr
is pledged by tho resolutions ol tho
tho Democratio Convention, and by
bis own record and declarations, to
this course. And his election Is the
one guaranleo possible to the peoplo
of Pennsylvania that tho old Treasury
Ring will not be revived in all its
power and corruption. This is the
most important home Issue on which
onr people will vote in November.

THE OHIO PLAN. I
An exchange says : It may he well
enough lor tho Stalwart press to hold
up its hands in horror nt the condition
of society in the shot gnu regions ot
tho South, bnt for high-handed, bloody
minded, cowardly outrago a tempor
ance village In Ohio has tuken the
lead. Vt oslervillo, Ohio, has a majori
ty of its population devoted to temper
ance, or rather to hatred of liquor. A
saloon-keeper named Corbin, who set
lied ihcre, was treated with all sorts
of persecutions, legal and other. An
attempt was mado to blow up his
hotel some four years ago, which win
only partially successful, yet though
tho most rcspoetnblo peoplo of tho
villago were suspected, oven tho doe
tors and clergymen, no investigation
was taken, t'orbiu wont away for a
while but a short tune ago returned
and Invostcd all he had bad in a hotel.
On Monday night It was blown up
wllh gunpowder while there wore poo.
pie in tho house. Corbin was injured
by the falling ruins, but tho others
escaped without serious injury. Two
kegs of gunpowder wore stolen from a
store on tho night in question and
these wero probably used in tho dast
ardly crime. It is a curious proof of
tho fierce fanaticism that sometimes
take possession ot religious and social
reformers. That arson, cowardly mid
night assault and bloodshed should bo
resorted to, to prevent tho sale of
whiskey is bolter calculated to injure
the temporunc 0 cause than to give it a
lasting success. If this abominable
atrocity should fail Vt meet a fitting
punishment it will offset a dor.cn such
street brawls as the Ch'wbolm or Dixon
affairs. Those worn simply brutal
murders ; but this Wostcrvillo affair is
a deliberate contrivance by which in
nocent lives wero endangered and a
hotel blown to pieces in order to get
ataman which tho community dis
liked. To have openly eono after Cor
bin with a shot-gun would bavo been
loss cowardly and less dangerous to
tho lives of tho innocent. Tho Ohio
plan is rather worse than tho Yazoo
plan.

THE REASON WHY.
Frequent complaint ia mado in the
Northern Republican papers, that there
ro no Ueputilican journals punted 111 a
number ot the Southern Stales. This
is attributed to bull-dozing. Perhaps
a simple statement of fuels may ro
movo tins false impression, and show
why Radical journals do not flourish
like a green bar tree in that portion of
the Union where the negro anil the
carpet-baggor, bucked by tho Federal
bayonet, formerly held sway.
In the Spring of 1870, just before
tho inauguration of the last Presidential
campaign, a Republican, now residing
in this city, and a journalist of ability
and experience, was temporarily so
journing in a Southern State. The
county in which bo was thus staying
was Republican. All its olllces wero
filled by Republicans, with tho excep
tion ol ono, lor which a Democrat was
appointed becaiiso the Radical who
bad boon elected could not givo mo
rciiuisile bond. This Republican journ
alist called one day on a manor 01 01-
ticial business upon the Uounty Clerk,
a reoent arrival from Boston. After
bis business had been transacted, he
rem ark od to tho Clerk end the Depu
ty Clerk that bo thought a weekly
Kepublican paper in that county would
be a good Ibing for tho party locally
and the cause generally, and hinted
that be would establish such a journal
there if any reasonable oncouragemont
wore ottered.
Thereupon the County Clerk and
bis deputy leaned back in their arm
chairs and burst into loud laughter.
This continued for some moments,
much to the cjiagrin of the visitor.
Finally tho County Clerk managed to
check bis risiblcs, and turning to tho
visiting journalist, suid : "1 beg your
pardon, but do you know that in this
Republican stronghold, this county
that gives so strong a mujority for the
Kepublican ticket, there aro but thir
teen tchitc Republicans, and that but
very few of the blacks who constitute
our reliable majority can read 1 What
would support a newspaper for our
party in such a field ?" A little further
conversation revealed the fact, that
all of tbe thirteen whites who managed
tho county 0 flairs, and hold most of
tho offices, were really citizens of
Northern Mates.
This incident, which wo know to be
just as wo have slated, shows why
Kepublican newspapers do not live in
tbo South. A newspaper cannot bo
supported long without a subscription
list. Pooplo who do not read, do not
want and will not pay for a paper.
The great mass of Southern Republi
cans except in tho bordcrStates arc
illiterate. It is not their fault that
they aro so, but tho fact remains. They
wero slaves, and that class did not of
ten learn to read anything. Kven
thoir preachers wero generally depend
cut on some whito friend to read tbe
Bible to them and selct toxts for them
to expound to their simple flocks. Tho
thievish carpot-bag Governments of,
thoso States compelled tho native
whites to unite in opposition to syste
matized plunder that bad robbed them
of much of the remnant of their pos
1 sessions that tho vicissitudes of war
hud spread. Tho brains, the culturo,
tho wealth of the ex Conledrrato Stales
wore sniidiHed ugainst the lladical
party by lladical oppression. Thoso
I boniocruts do not aid in building up
Kepublican journals. ihey prefer
journals of their own political fuith.
Ono non psrtizan reason for this pre
ference is that tbo only good newspa
pers in that rogion have been Demo
cratic When tbo Jlopublicsns of the
South really want uewenapcrs thoy
will hare them. But we kuow ot no
honest way of supporting a papor
among a constituency who can't read.
II asnington I'ott.
Haves Mad at V ussi.es A Wash
ington telegram to the New York
rimcj reads this way! "Vice Prcsi
dent Wheeler comes in tor somo Ad
ministration criticism. It is suggested
that while no ono would think of com
pulling tbo Vice President to conform
to tho civil sorvice order, or any other
order, still, a proper regard on bis part
for tho policy of the Administration,
and above all, respect lor tbe Presi
dent's notion ol civil service reform,
would have suggostod to him tho pro
priety of abstaining from any active
part in tho State Convention."
A Government Barber. An ex
change says : "One of tbe clerks in tbe
oflico of tho third Auditor of tho Treas
ury at Washington, Is a colored gen
tleman, Cbarlea l.cmos by name, who
receives f 1,000 per annum. Lcmos is
a tonsorial artist, and his duties con
8ist In shampooing the President, bath
ing his Privato Secretary, Kodgera,
perfuming and coaxing out Webb
Hayes' moustache, drawing his salary
and in a general way illustrating the
beauties of civil service reform."

2.C7G Poslofllceti wore established and
1,070 discontinued. The total number
of oflicea ia operation on Juno QOlb,
UrI, wai 40,872. Sinoo thon thero has
been an increase of 373 offiVos. This
is a pretty good army.
How ! It? Was the attempted
aHttaasination of Kalloch duo to tho as
condenoy of tho Republican party in
California ? The Kepublican organs
toll us California is a Republican State,
and. according to their ruling with
reference to tho South, every murder,
rep and ombexalomunt ia chargeable
to tho pqlitieal party which has a local
supremacy.
