It ia rather noteworthy that the to
tal Republican voto in this Suite is not
equal to tbo total Domocralio vote last
Fall.
A Good Index. The voto cast for
Kclley and Robinson will exceed that
cast for Cornell about 45,000. That ia
tho Democratic majority in tbo popu
lar vote of tbo Slate.
Funky I Tbe editor ol tbo Tyrono
Jcrald,mt wcck,used a great big Demo
cratic Rooster ; because tho Democrats
of Blair county, elected their candidate
tor Prothonotary, and for a third term
at that.
That's so. The Now York Sun
says : "Tho solid vote of Pennsylvania
for Hancock in tho Dcmocrtitio Na
tional Convention next year would bo
liable to muko an impression on tbe
minda of delegates from more than one
Southern Stato."
Early. Tho editor of the Washing
ton Post bangs out this kind of a flag:
SEYMOUR, OF NEW YOUK.AND
McDONALD.OF INDIANA, IS THE
TICKET TO NOMINATE IN 1880
BECAUSE IT IS THE TICKET TO
WIN.
That's a mighty good team.
Radical IloNgsTY. An oxuhango
says: The Roadjnstors will have
i majority ol twenty-five on joint ballot
in the Virginia Legislature. Tho Re
publicans cloctod twenty-lour members
in the cntiro Stato, and nineteen of
them aro Readjustee or Repudiation-
ists. That tells the story so far as tho
Republican party of Virginia is con
cerned. "It J" Slato Treasurer Noyos bad
a Iiittor fight to win the nomination
from ilr. Barr in 1877, but ho stood at
bis precinct poll at Wostport on last
eloction day, and gave Barr an in-
creased majority over Dill. If Barr
could have commanded a few thousand
such men as "Old Square Timber" to
work for him, "it might havo been I1
Philadelphia Timet.
Gold Birds. Tha Philadelphia
Record of Friday says : An order has
been made for tbe translor of 551,000
ounces of gold bullion from tho Now
York assay office to tho Hint in this
city for coinage. The value of tbo
bullion is about 110,250,000, and is
part of that rocently received from
Europe. Tbo Mints will first coin
cagloB and half eagles.
A Poor Show. Potor not "that
Rock" spoken of in Revelation but
Peter Sutton, Greenback candidato for
Stato Treasurer, recoived in Philadel
phia 299 votes, and in tho Stato not
30,000 votes. Tbo rag baby was big
gor at its birth than when it bad at
tained its teens. Poor thing I lis Sutton
death will bo mourned in this State by
Frank Hughes and Honry Carey Baird
witb honest grief. It was no ordinary
humbug, and it should have no ordi-
nary obsequies.
Anotiib Gain. There was a Con
grossional vacancy to bo filled in tbe
12th district of Now York at the last
olection, Smith, Radical, having died
Waldo lluU'hins, Democrat, was eloo-
tod to fill it. It was an important gain
as it gives the Democrats in tho Na
tional Honso of Representatives three
majority over the combined Radical
and Greenback vote. Most of the lat
ter are with the Democrats, but it is a
hotter condition to be independent of
them on a close call.
Tin Official Vote. Following is
tho ofHoial vote received at the office
ol tho Secretary of tho Commonwealth
at Ilarrisburg :
Butler, RepeblleaB..
Barr, Democrat.
o-uttoo. Greenback...
Ricbardaon , Prohibition..

The total vote ia 169,750 less than
last year, 16,984 less than In 1877, and
220,516 less than 1X76 whon tha high
est vote was cast in tha State.
How Tuinus Turn. Eighteen
months ago, Sherman, Hayes & Co.
were wagging Senator Conkling, of
Now York. Thoy kicked his Collector
and Naval officer out of that Port
Now tho former is the Chairman of
the Radical State Committee, and the
latter iB cloctod Governor. There never
was a clearer caso ot the tail wagging
tbe dog than that which has sprung up
between tho Fodoral Administration
and tbe Radical Senator from New
York. ' He did not condescend to make
speech daring the late canvass In
tliat Sulo, but compolled tbe whole
Administration to "boost" and "boom'

Beavir "Civilization." The edi
tor of tho Philadelphia Times bits a
No. 1 Btatosman between wind and
wator this way! "Collector Rutan'a
Beaver Argus and Radical related how
it happened that a couple of men in
that part of tbo Stato, who bad not
voted for many years, camo out at the
lust election and voted tho whole Re
publican ticket. They had read in
somo of the newspapers that Jeff. Da
vis was going to rnn for Prcsidont of
tbe United States and there would be
another war, and ever bo many things
which the organs know how to say
with overwhelming effect. It is won
derful tbat these men could have been
held back from doing their Bimple duty
as cittaens so long, since every year
the issue presented by the organs is
tbe same, and there is no more danger
now that Jeff. Davis will run for Pres
ident than there was years ago when
Uoraco Greoley went bis bail. Still
thoro is no law which prevents tho
organs from imposing npon timid peo
ple with big bugaboo stories when
tbey have nothing better to do; it ia a
kind of false pretense which the law
doesn't reach."
Did hot Obit. The recent election
in Virginia recently turned on the
payment, or repudiation, of tho hugo
debt put 011 the tax-payers by tbo car
pet-baggers and Hayes, the de facto,
who knowing that his friends had
stolen tho money, ho went over into
that Stato and made several speeches
advising the negroes to voto to pay
the bonds thus stolen by his confeder
ates in crime. He told the Virginia
negroes that tbiy must voto for pay
ing State debt, they showed their high
rcspocl for the acting President by
going right np to tho ballot-box and
voting tho othor way. Mr. Hayes
should havo considered tho back. action
character of bis advico.
A Domestic Afflictiom. The Phil
adelphia Times says: "After Senator
Conkling gets ex-Naval Officer Cornell
elected to tho Chairmanship of tho
National Republican Committee ho
will then begin to mako the adminis
tration solid in support of ex-Collector
Arthur for United Stales Sonator.
This is piobably all tbat will bo re
quired of tbo presont administration,
unless the favorite son of New York
should conclude to run himself for tbe
Presidency ; in tbat ovenl a great deal
of enterprising 'whooping up' will be
called for, and as Hayes no longor
spells reform with a big R ho would
be equal to all demands."
Ante. Sambo, Before tbe " latrffany means that Grant haa boon sur
lamented" abolished slavery, our bordor
neighbor, Canada, granted tbe colored
man an asylum; but now things have
changod. A cotomporary romarkB
"Canada, the negro's Canaan m the
days of the Underground Railroad, is

EA'POSE OF THE TREASURY
PLUNDERERS.
The New York Sun, in alluding to
Senator Davie and bis committee's
fortlicomingreportorhis investigations
of the United Slates Treasury Depart
ment, makes tlx so startling observa
tions :
"They have found millions improp
erly entered, and balaucea forced to
cover up tboeo fraudulent charges. I
Volumes of tbe most important ac
counts are missing and it ia evident
from their connection with the publio
loans that they were purposely car
ried off and deojroyed tohtf.i' villainy.
In somo of the existing books whole
pagos aro torn out, and thoy are other
wise mutilated, and orasuroa visible to
the oye, and otbera to an ordinary
magnifier, may be counted by thou
sands. A II these chargos, this tbievory,
this mutilation and this dostruetion,
relate to tbe most important books and
accounts of the Treasury.
Can anybody believe that such
criminal tampering witb tho records of
tho Treasury, extending only over a
limited period of yours, and all point
ing to intentional fraud and forgory to
cover up excessive issues, counterfeit
ing and stealing, was tho result ol
mere accident? No wonder tho Re
publican leaders sock to solidify tbe
North against the South by a soctional
cruBado, and to ignoro all those mate
rial questions upon the solution of
which tho general prosperity depends.
No wondor thoy cry out for a "strong
man," who will trample tho Constitu
tion under foot, uso the army to crush
out opposition on tho slightost of pre-
toxts, and snbvort the Government to
tbo worst partisan objects. This is
their game to win the olection, to bury
out of sight the iniquities which blot
tbo cureer of the party and of many of
its prominent leaders, and to prevent
the punishment which an indignant
pooplo would administer after a full
exposure."
Bx or Good Cueer. Wo seo noth
ing in tho result of tho election to dis
courngo Democrats. Tho hoavy Re
publican majority in this Stato ia
wholly due to tho apathy of the Dem
ocrats, and their absence from tbe
polls, and not bocause they have turn
ed Republican. Bucks county does
not stand alone. In solid old North
ampton, where tbe Democratio major
ity reaches nearly 4,000, it fell down
this year to 1,600, and Lehigh 2,500
to 350. Even, in Berks the Democrats
staid at bomo, and her Democratic
majority of 8,000 is reduced to 3,000.
No one will say all those Democrats
have becomo Republicans. They sim
ply staid at bomo, not the proper thing
to do, but it was done nevertheless.
Ex-Attorney Gcnoral Dear, in a recent
speech, was frank enough to admit
that the Republicans elected their
ticket becauso the Democrats staid at
homo. This is the history of our de
feat and this tells tho wholo story in a
nut shell. It the Democrats don't go
to tbe polls thoy can't expect to clout
tholr tickot. Doylestown Democrat.
Taking the Census. Tho State is
entitlod to ten Supervisors, and hence,
it will bo dividod into ton districts. It
ia understood that the districts will be
comprisod as follows:
Philadelphia la divided late two Diatriot. lit
and Id.
Tha Sd Diatriot la eompoaed of the followinc
eonntiea : Delaware, Cheater, Montgomery, Berke,

The Supervisors are appointed by
tho President, by and witb tho advice
and consent of tho Senato. Tbe Su
pervisor select, enumerators. Thirty
days is tbe longest time allowod any
enumerator to do tbo work assigned ;
honce tbe sub-districts in each county
must bo very small.
Another Vagabond. We notice
that ono Mason O. natch, Secretary
and Treasurer of the Northwestern
Traveling Mon'a Association, and one
of the editors of Northwestorn True
tier, of Chicago, absconded on the 8th
inst., upon tho discovery that he had
forged certain papers by which ho se
cured a largo sum of money fraudu
lently. He also took with him ft con
siderable amount of tbo lunds of tho
Association. Ten thousand dollars will
cover tho amount of the stealings. Tho
next day bis wife received a telegram
from Troy, N. Y,, whither ho was re
ported to havo wandored in, as was
reported, a crazed condition. High
living and losses in grain, gambling
and stock speculations are said to be
at tho bottom of tho trouble." We
suspect tbat a lack ol moral training
in bis boyhood days is at tbe bottom
of it. Gambling is not inherited.
A Happt Family. An exchange
remarks : "Grant's receptions out West
have been a grand harvest fur pick
pockets. A gang of the light-fingered
gentry carried oft" several thousand
dollars in money and watches from
Galona the othor day. 11 0 has been
followed from placo to placo by those
fellows, but it i. not the first time by
rounded by thievcB." Tbo reador, no
doubt, rcmembora tho Credil Mobilicr
job. under bim, the trader-post sales
mado in tbe "green room" of tbo Whito
Uouso, as well as the Belknap busi
ncss all under bis immediato eye.
No other Administration not evon
Hayes', though stolen from Tilden
ovor disgraced the people so outrage
ously as Grant did during his last
torm.
Strategy. Wo notice that Governor
Cromwell, of Michigan, will oall ft spe
cial session of the Legislature to fill
the vacanoy in the United State. Sen
ate, caused by the death of Chandlor.
Tbo Governor will be a candidate in
the scrub race, for which Bagley, Bald
win, Conger, Joy and Newberry, aro
entered. Conger Is in fine oondition,
and his friends aro backing him heavily,
In tbe meantime, the Governor has
appointed PernandoC. Boaman,aworn
oat political plug, to the placo, so as to
get rid of the wonderful annoyance
heaped upon him, by the score of loyal
patriot, of that State, who want Zack'a
place.
FALSE SYMPATHY.
Tbo Euston Aram appropriately re
marks: Tbo lalo sudden death of Zachariab
Chandler, a Senat 'r of tbe United
States from Michigan, gavo the fcllowa
who indulge in extraordinary lamenta
tions over tho demiso of each promi
nent or notorious man a flno chance to
vent their sooming sorrow. The tolo-
grumB announcing bis deuth also told
us of tho exhibitions of mourning in
Chicago ovor the doath of Mr. Chand
lor. Ab fur tbo doceased, wo bad 110
exalted opinion of bim whilo living,
and we ra not now going to either
praise or censure him. Our purpose is
to allude to the foolish yea, worse
than foolish practice that has since
tho war grown upon tho American
people, of almost idolizing thoir dead.
The time was when only men who bad
shown themselves rcully great or
worthy were tho subjects of especial
sorrow whon called from their spheres
ot public duty. But now note United
States Senator of Iobs than ordinary
ability, whoBo most notod peculiarity
was the languago deemed rather more
forciblo than polito, can "shtirHo off
Ibis mortal coil," without having the
columns ol tho daily press crowdod
with laudatory notices and long jere
miads. Tho American pooplo are given
to making too much fuss over the loss
of very littlo tiuibor. They aro Bhcd
diug tears for what can very easily be
replaced. United States Senators aro
not all statesmen. Tbey aro not all
persons whoso records will bear tbo
closest scrutiny, and those of us who
bow down in sackcloth and ashes overy
timo one ot theso chaps is called to his
reward, show our lack of what is
propor at such a time.
Thin Friendship. The Philadel
phia Times, in alluding to tho latest
caso of th is kind, relates the following :
"The case ol Congressman Voorhis, of
Hackcnsuck, New Jersey, is a painful
illustration of tho flitting of Summer
friends when adversity comes. Ho
was esteemed wealthy, was liberal with
out being extravagant,and friends clus
tered about bim in sunshino like bees
upon tho honeyed flower. He was
chosen to Congress in an adverse dis
trict, and all classes paid bim botnago
as a worthy citizen. It is not charged
that bo deliberately defrauded any one;
but ho borrowed from li is own bunk
without lawful authority, confidently
expecting to pay, and ombatrassments
so accumulated about him that he was
$50,000 short in restoring tho money.
He was arrested, and tbe man who had
thousands of Summer flaltorcrs could
not command $10,000 security. Alter
a day of snrveillanco in his bouse un
der tbo care of a United States Mar
shal, tho umount ot bail was reduced
to $0,000, and his father and brother
were then ablo to save him Horn the
ignominy of a prison. Such Is life I"
Tho bank officer did not steal tho cash
out of the vaults of tho bank, but ho
abstracted $50,000 worth ol'collntterals,
belonging to tho patrons of the bank,
took thorn over to Now York, recoived
tho cash on them, with which he de
feated the Democratic nominee, with
the hope, no doubt, of reaching Con
gross to servo bis party and in the end
rcstoro the stolen securitios.
Still roa Horses and Doos. It p-
pears that Grant's trip around the
world has not improved his tasto or
morals. A Washington Post reporter
tuned up at Galena, III., Grant's old
homo, about tho time the General and
retinue did, and he remarks : "1 have
observed," romarkod Mr. Washburne,
as bo sat in Gen. Grant's parlor, at
Galena, tho other day, "I haveobserved
an increasing interest on tbo part of
many of our ablest leaders, as to tho
personnel of out tickot lor 1 880." Tho
Gcnoral smoked on, a whiff or two,
then slowly removed his cigar from his
lips, and calmly eyed the wreathing
clould that floated over his head. Turn
ing bis eye towaid his friend and
neighbor, tbe man who was first his
illustrious patron, and afterwards hi
favorite protogo, tho General remarked
tbat be had a couple of Arabian (tal
lions near Washington, that bo wanted
to bring to Illinois, and ho left a dog
with Gen. Boalo that ho would like to
have at his Galena residence. The
cigar was replacod, and tho Bmoking
went on, whilo Mr. Washburne dis
coursed ol tho weather and crops."
How He Got Him to Acckit. Of
tbe lato Senator Chandlor, it is related
by the Toledo Blade, that when ho be
came Secretary of tho Interior he de
sired that ft cortain position in the
Department should bo filled by a law
yer from tho West whose fitness was
undoubted. Tho lawyer refused the
appointmunt on the ground that he
could not afford tho pecuniary sacrifice
imposed by his withdrawal from his
business. "What sum will mako you
good ?" asked Mr. Chandler. "Not
loss than $5,000 t year," answered the
lawyer, "Yon sball have it," said tho
Secretary; and during his occupancy

Radical Government. It is well
known that there is a class of political
oconomists who save at the spigot and
allow the bungholo to bo open all the
timo. Hero is a Radical case in point :
Revelations have just been mado which
go to show that whilo tho revenue de
partment has been bunting "moon
shine whiskuy" in tho mountains of
North Carolina, extensive frauds have
passod unnoticed at the Now Custom
House, and the Government has boon
defrauded to tho amount of ubout
$300,000 by the smuggling of vost-"
ments and church ornaments. Church
regalia is tree from duty, and this gen
oral hoad, statuary, toxtilo fabrics,
jewelry, books, and a variety of manu
factured metal goods, often lavishly
ornamented with jewels, bavo been
undervalued. Tho "clergymen's oaths"
bavo been so manipulated and forged,
that tbo Catholic clergymen aro re
lieved of all complicity in the matter
Tho whole performance implicates a
number of officials, and is said to one
of tho best laid schemes that ever de
frauded tho Government.
Departed Glokv. The holiday
robbory and earpot-hag rule in tho
Southern States at one time was a
"grand moral idea-' affair. A cotom

marks: "Numerous ex Senators und
ex-Congressmen, of thocarptbag and

tered as night watchmen in public

so, where is the strong arm of Federal

Rascally Tricks. The Radicals of

became so proficient at in Horida and
Louisiana during the Presidential
count, of tampering with tho returns.
Closo on the hocls of tho election and
for ecvoral days thorcaftorall the New

that the Democratic Stato Ticket with
tho oxecption ol CorncM was elected.
Still there was a suspicions holding
back or returns in strong Radical coun
ties, and now Inoraosed Radical major!
ties aro rolling in, which have evidently
been "doctored" so as to elect all the
candidates of that party. The Demo.
crats of that State hold that tho first

tho returns now are mado to show the
npposito it is tbe result of deliberate
fraud.

GENERAL GRANT'S HURLING-
TON SPEECH.
The denial comes now of the state
ment mado somo days ago that Gen
eral Mierman had written to a friend
in t'bicugo to the effect that when
(iunt-rul Grunt arrived in that city ho
bad "un important message which ho
would there deliver to the people ol
tho United Slates. Naturally surmise
had arisen us to what "mesmigo" this
unofficial person could now have to
deliver to the ooplo. It had been sug
gested, however, tluit tho message to
bo delivered at Chicago would be
simply tho declension of a third term
nomination. If this coniuclure had
boon verified, such au action on Gen
eral Grant's part, in the laco of the
act tbat he has, according to tbo view ot
some, but to any "yes" to socuro the
nomination and probably his election,
it would bavo raised bim lar btghorin
tho estimation of thoso whoso esteem
is must valuablo than any olber deed
of bis wholo life. W'hntovor may bo
tbe personal opinions of Generul G rant,
however, when or wherever expressed,
it is to ho hoped be will not indulge in
expressions similar to those expressed
by him in his speech at Burlington,
.0WB) 0II Tuesday, and in his speech a
ipei
to tbo pupils of tho schools, ho said
1 believo that if there ever is another
var in this country it will be one of
ignorunco vs. intelltgciico. 1 think
that war will bo one of ignorance and
superstition combined against cduca
tlon ami intelligence." lite fact la
there ulways has existed strife between
intelligence and ignorance it is a law
ol tho world's progress. Therefore,
unless the iteration of those words by
General Grant is meant to ho tho first
nolo of a now issue to bo raised on be
halt or tho "stalwarts, they seem a
mere meaningless collection of phrasos.
It was certainly very loose talk for a
person of General Grant's well-known
discretion. When attempting to give
a political turn to such a matter, the
question comes up as to buw and
where to draw tho lino. What is ig
norance und what is intelligence in the
final analysts? there is an ignor
ance of history and civilization, such
as is manileslcd by tho voodoo wor
shiping negroes in Louisiana, and an
ignoranco of moral obligations, like
that of tho Oneida socialists, and of
tbe distinction botween meum and
tuum, such as that manifested by somo
of tho county officers 111 tho Mute in
which General Grant spoko, where
sovcral County Treasurers have of
luto years been in default, "lntcll"
genco" at Washington lately pretend,
ed to direct "ignoranco" in Southside
Virginia to voto ftr the debt-paying
candidates, but the shrewdness ot local
wire pullers waa able to control the
voters created by Washington "intelli
gence,"'to tho injury and shame of tho
stale. Intelligence ot the sort which
can expect to be serviceable to the
country and this day and generation
ought not to lapso into such errors of
judgment as all this implies. Jo go
no f 'urt her, the impolicy ol such speeches
must be obvious tu every one. Evon if
thoy do nothing else, ihcy let ia a
flood ol light upon the vitul weaknesses
ot the "strong men upon whom sun
dry politicians seemed disposed to pin
their faith. Gonoral, Giant in bis last
annual message confessed ignorance of
politics as an excuse lor blunders ol
his administration, alleging that bis
time hud mostly been spent in bar
racks. If, therefore, tho lines between
ignoranco and Intelligence had been
drawn very closely bo might bavo
been shut out from ever being a can
didute for tbe high office to which ho
finally attained. But tho fear is that
the intimations in such speeches as
here retcrred to have ft sectarian or
oruaading bearing about tham. Haiti

General G runt sentcntiously remark
ed in his speech at Burlington, Iowa,
that tbo noxt war in this country
would bo botwoen ignorance and in
tolligenco. A diagram should always
be sent along with grave utterancos ot
this character. By tho way, it was at
Des Moines, Iowa, that Grant declar
ed war on the Calholio Church. Can
it be possible that his vacuo remarks
at Burlington wcro aimed at the samo
target ? It strikes as that it would bo
well for this peripatetic dead-beat to
stop talking about war lor season.
Baltimore Gazette.
A Remarkable: Fact. The Now
York World lecontly contained an odi-
torilo artical referring to the lato elec
tion which gave tbo following bit of
personal history of - the Republican
oandidnte for Governor: Alonzo B
Cornell ownod a cotton plantation In
Georgia in 18C0, and on January 28tb
of tbat year stood by ohewing an
clevon inch cigar whilo four strong
negro slaves (recaptured runaways and
his property) were cut to pieces at the
whipping post. Tbe only remark on
that occasion of the Republican candi
date lor the Governorship of the Statu
of New York in 1879 was, 'You must
kill George, but merely cripplo theother
throe.' George left ft wife and three
children, and the oldest son, now
man of thirty, Robort Diossy, stumped
Now York for Robinson.

A CONTRAST.
Two men died recently, only a few
hours apart, both suddenly away from
home. One bad served his country, as
ho supposed, faithfully, on its blood lest
battle fields from Bull Run to Atlanta,
anil ucyoliu 10 me ttca ; ne jusny euru-
ed the familiar name among his coun
trymen "rioiiTiNo Joe Hooker.
Tho other, served bis party the par
ty ol sectional hate, hypocrisy and vil
lainy, bravely, by tho hot uso of Iiib
very bad mouth and worse brain, in
tho party caucus and in tho balls of
fraud and usurpation of power ; he too,
earned a common epithet among those
tamiliur witb bis habits, it was"l)HUNK
en 7.ACB. (.'handler." One retired
from active Borvice when tbat service
needed bravo men, no more, to culti
vate tho arts ol pcaco and encourage
friendly relations between tho late
civil enemies; the other retired too,
but because the people of Michigan, at
their return of reason bad no uso for a
representative blackguard, ranter and
inciter to ilnmestio strife; from which
obscurity bo was called by ft drunken
president, the mend ot the whisky
thieves, to ornament bis ruby Cabinet,
whore he was frequently in his best
trim to show off what brandy will do
for a true Kopulmcan statesman, lluv-
ng thus become "stalwart 111 defense
of .Republican peculators and ring
thieves, be aguln demonstrated bis
superiority in crying for "blood let
ting," while whisky oozed from bis
pores, and the Itepublican party, onco
more Decomo the party ol sectional
hate, had need lor his services. Chiefly
instrumental in screening the wbisky
thioves whose principal was Gram
himself, ho was tbe most eminently fit
tool to Meal the ljesxdencu for Hayes,
which he did accordingly, as tbo whole
country knows. For this service to
his party of Iraud and treason, be was
rewarded with tbe "stalwart" leader
ship, malqrt bis drinking habit, which
in a Republican statesman, is esteemed
a great virtue.
And for this he has earned a tablet
and perhaps a monumont in the tern
plo of tho Republican party, such as
never a Christian or a true hero has
won, but only monsters in human
shapo like Tamerlane, Nero, Warren
Ilatttings, Lord Rawdon, Tecnmseh
and McNiel. For this almost every
Republican newspaper in tbo land is
filled witb praise ot him, and Popo
Haven must duly 'sanctity" him, and
his mumbling puppets repeat tbo sac
rilege, in all corners of the North.
For this, all bis crimes, treasons, strut
egems, and thells, must be buriod witb
his carcass, and only bis service to tbe
Republican god Fraud, be kept in
grateful remembrance.
On the other band, tho soldier, tho
good citizen, tho patriot whose course
was not bounded by the miserable cir-
cumterenco or party success, must be
laid away in his tomb, witlt hut a pass-
ng notteo, a ingiu rccuaiion 01 wncroj
ho was born, whoro ho longbt and
where ba died, without even so much
as a regret that he is gone. This is
hot tha Republican press reward
"Fighting Joo Honker" lor his serv
ices to the Union. This contrast OL'ttih
admonishes us of tbe double, deep dyed
treason of the Republican parly, which
prefers the demagogue, thief and swin
dler to tbe patriot and honest man;
the sharp speculator in the wars of
tho country, to the soldier who periled
nis me tor tne cause 00 oeueveu was
just ; the trickster and common drunk
ard to tbe square-dealing and temper
ate man.
It follows, moreover, that when the
Republican editor or stump speaker or
street-ranter says he loves the "Union
soldior," you may aptly apply to him
the text of a Christian apostle, via :
"if a man say he loves God, but hatoth
his brother, he is (a thief and) a liar
arid the truth is not in bim."
This is true of tho Sherman Repub
licans of Ohio, who defeated Generals
Kwing and Rice; it ia truo of the Re
publican editors who can find but little
space to speak well of "Fighting Joe
Hooker," whilo they devolo columns
to stalwart Zach. Chandler; it is true
in general of tbe Republican party of
today, which hardly ever rewards
"Union soldiers" lor whom it prolcsses
to havo a particular love and guar
dianship. iVilliamsport Sun.

of executing lsaao Jacobson, tbe ring
leader of tho "watch" who killed the

oondemned to be banged on January
30th, 1880. The other prisonors were
arraignod for manslaughter, and were
sentenced to tho Albany Penitentiary
after Jacobson was condemned. The
President Judge, the District Judgo
and District Attornoy Valentine inter
ested tbomselves at once to secure tho
commutation of Jaoobson's aentonco to

was hanged old residents can remem

tboso days executions were held in

scones on this occasion and when Por
ter, the mail robber, was banged, dis
proved this Illusion. Another inter
esling case, from which, however, Jack
Ketch was cheated of his victim, was
in 1842. The Amorican emigrant ship,
William Brown, had foundered olf
Newfoundland by striking an iooburg.

WHY DON'T THEY DO lTt
The Ilarrisburg Patriot gives porti
nent details in this way: An import
ant election will bo held in Louisiana
on the 2d of December. Stato officers
and members of tbo Legislature will
oe cuoscn, and the peoplo will voto on
ft now Constitution. A. tho Legisla
ture to be chosen may be authorized to
ohooso electors for President, this elec
tion in .Louisiana may have a most im
portant bearing on the national contest
of 1880. It has been Buggostcd, there-
lore, that tbe Uopublicans send Blaine,
Conkling and some more of their pop
ular orators to Louisiana in order to
recover the State from the Democrats.
Conkling might consider it beneath his
dignity 10 mako stump speeches on a
lovei with tne understandings ot the
colored voters of Louisiana, but Blaine
would be in bis element. Tho former
method of the Republican, in Louisi
ana during tho good reconstruction
days of Grant was to set np State
governments with tbe bayonet, and
when this was not feasible, tha votes of
the majority were eUaced bv the manin-
ulalions of Returning Boaidg. But the
troops are withdrawn and the Return

To obtain political powor in Louiaiana,
tho Republicans will tberolore be
obliged to return to tbo popular and
regular methods in vogue in the rest

Thore is no reason to doubt thai the
Republican orators Irom the north
would bo hospitably received in Louia

in immense throngs to tho meotings of
tsiaino. llis efforts to excilo prejudice
of race for tbe purpose of securing a
party triuiupn might not bo in irood

demonstrate that the utmost freedom
ol speech prevails in Louisiana, a fact
which isstrenuously denied bythostitl

respects little better than the Kellogg
