aro n few spec imen bricks linin the

the editor said :
Supposing that the acceptance of the bribes did
aut cover the members with dishonor, the perjury
that was ootnmllted surely did, and lor this alone
the criminals should be expelled. It Is useless
end foelisb to attempt to dodge this issue. The
Nation regards It aa of tbo highest importanoe,

No one oan 1 satisfied with the report of the
Credit Mubiiier Committee. Very properly it
convicts Oakes Ames ol brlbeiog varieus members
ol uongress, but there could be no bribery unless
some members were bribed, and the Committee
pretends that such was not the eaae for it falls to
oondemn the various parties who had negotiations
with Ames for stock of tho Credit Mobilier of the
U. F. H. R. Co. The public will receive with
failh the statements of the Oomuilttee in regard
to the various members, for those statf insnts
show that Mr. Dawes, Mr. Bcofield, Mr. Ding-
ham, Mr. William D. Kelley anil Mr. Uarlield
were all ceaitged la associations with Anns. Toe
attempt to eACUie them by declaring Ibat tliey
bnd no knoale Igo that they were doing anything
disreputable Is very lumo. No one belleres Ilial

gress with dishonor, TUB PERJURY

morals, but tho editor in question,
since he has been saddlo bagged with
one of tho CRIMINALS indicted, for
President, he, tho other day, chimed
in on this saino subject in this war :
"The sons of Oski-s Ames have issued a long
statement, in which Ibey attempt, with what
seems tobealargo measure of success, to vlodi
ode tbeir father from tbe charge that his conduct
of Hie Credit Mobilier busiues was unworthy uf
an honorable man It Is not likely that the pub
lic will care grestlr about tbe niatl.r Just at this
time, excepting In so far aa thoy may be new
proof preientvd lliet Ames did not corrupt llrn
etal Uarlield. Dut nobody outside of the Demo
eratic parly even now brlierea that tisrlleld wos
oorrupted, and nobody inside of tbe Democratic
parly would venture to admit that Uarlield is In
nocent, although aa Angol from llciren, instead
of Ames' children, should pruo'eitn the fact."
How stupid for oven a boy to crucify
himself in that kind of a way, much
less the high moral educator of the
Rulletin.

them like a malady. To illustrate, we
givo the following :
DcRois, Fa., August 11. A spirited Garfield
meeting was held here last night, and was a grand
success. The Republicans are doing .vorythiiig
they can in this new and thriving city, and hope
to redeem this end of old Clearfield frons the rule
ofrebel sympathitera. During tbe parade, befor.
the meeting last evening, a prominent Democrat,
on being asked to join the procession, replied :
".ilot by a d d sight. That is tbe Lnton nag,
and I never trained under it nor won't to-night."
This la nothing strange to people who have lived
in tbia banner Democratic oounty of coffee-pot
fame. We bare heard the rebel yell here before,
but w. put them down once and can do It again.
Thoabovo appeared in tbo Pittsburgh
Gazette of tho 12th, and was headed
by the editor, "Clearfield Copperhead-
ism." Tbo man that sent that tele
gram is eithor a tool or a knave, if not
the projvrietor of tho combination.
More : Ho is a liar and ho cannot call
a singlo witness to vouch for bis dam
nable accusation against bis neighbors.
Again : If that tolegram was sont by
a Sunday School teacher, Bible readers
can mako tip their minds thut ho has
no rospoct for tho TenComiuandmonts.

William Biglor was born at Slier
nittnsburg, Cumberland oounty, Pu.,
in December, 1K1J. II is iiarents.
Jacob Bigler mid Susan Duck, sister
of Judge Duck, of Hal rislmrg, were
ol uorman tleseeiit, unit wore educa
ted, like most children rtl their origin,
in both the Gorman and English
tongues. While very young his par
ents removed to Mei-cer oounty, hav
ing purchased a lariru tract of wild
land, in tlie hope of building up their
lorlunes; but the title proving detect
ive, thoy found themselves in a short
lime bontfl of every thing but a small
farm, luo children had a sovere
struggle with lilc, und William drifted
into u priming ollieo. From 1830 to
18X) lie was enniloyeil hv Ins brother
John, in the olllce ol' the Centre Demo
crat, published ut ilelletiuitii. At tlie
end of that period, influenced by tlio
iibvico of his friends, among whom
was Andrew G. Citrlin, sineo tiovcrn.
or of the Commonwealth, he decided,
though not without many misgivings,
to remove to Ulraifield and cominenco
tho publication of a iioiilical tiuiier
Yuung Bigler bad no money, but ha
possessed about everything olno requi
situ to tko publication of a paper.
With tbeaiu of his friends ho secured
some ulc typo ttnd a second-hand
press; tleu, as ho used to say, ho
slurlctl An eight- by-ten .lucksou pa
per to counteract the infliienoo of a
seven-by-nmo Whig paper which bad
preceded him Into thai mounluinous
region." This paper was called the
t. learlield liemocrut. liiL'Icr tlul ueur
ly all tho work, writing tlio editorials
setting ti e type and working the old
baud press. Wilb all tbeso drawbacks
the publication was a very spirited one,
but it was not a source of iininudiute
wealth, lie was deep in pnlilcs, how
ever, and soon acquired a reputation
lor good iUdL'mcnt and siucerety. 11 is
uuilbrin courtesy toward everybody
made bint a gonerul fuvorile, und it is
said of bim thut ho was a real buck-
woodsman, u good hunter and the best
muiksman with a idle in all the coun
try accomplishments which in thoso
days by no means detracted from bis
intlueneo as a political loader.
In 1SJ0, or shortly alter Mr. Uiglor,
having married a daughter of Alexan
der B. Reed, of Cleurlield, disposed of
his paper and entered into purlnershit
with Ins tuthor-in law in mercantile
business. Reengaged in his new pur
suit with his usuttl industry nnd oner
gy, and in a brief period placed him
self in tbo front rank of the merchants
and dealers in lumber in that section
From 1815 to 18.10 bo was by liir tbo
largest producer of lumber or squaro
limber on tbo west branch of tho Sus
quehanna river. But his previous uct
ivo participation iu politics and his
well-know views on public questions
kept him prominently belore tho lico
plu. He wus an ardent udvocute of a
convention to amend the State Con
stitution und was presented f rom his
county as a delegate to that body, but
ho declined to bo a candidate.
In 1811 ho was nominated for tho
State Senato, and though much to his
pecuniary disadvantage, ho accepted
tho nomination. 1 ho district was
composed of tho counties of Armstrong.
Indiana, Cambria and tloarliuld, and
ho was elected by a majority of ovor
J.UUU. i hough opposed by a regular
ly nominated candidato ol tho Whig
party ho rccoived every voto in Clear
field county Bave ono, a result unpre
cedented in tbo history of politics.
Iho termor service Upon which ho
now entered covered a period of un
usual difficulty in the management of
tho amtirsot the stato. Ilo was elect
ed Spenkor of tho Senato in tho Spring
ol 181.1, was ro elected at tho opening
of tho session of 1844, and in October
lollowing was returned tor a second
term. Mr. Bigler did not desiro again
to ho a candiduto, and ao disinclinod
was he to continuing in puplio life,
that ho had instructed tho delegates
from Charfield lo the nominating con
vention to withdraw his namo, wbicb
thev did ; but tbe delegates from the
other counties composing tho district
conferred tbo nomination on bim not
withstanding, and he was elected by
a voto much larger than tho regular
parly voto. In 1818 bis namo was
presented for Govornor, and ho ro
ceived a larger vote in the Democratic
dominating Convention ol that year;
but tho chutco tell upon Morris Long
strolh, then a Canal Commissioner,
who was defeated by William I' . John
son. In lh III Mr. liiglcr was appoint
ed ono of tho Jlovonuo Commissioners,
whoso duty it was to adiust the
amount to be raised by taxation
the different sections and counties of
the State.
At tho succeeding election for Gov
ernor in 1851 Mr. Bigler received the
Democratic nomination by acclamation
and was elected after a wurm contest,
in which Governor Johnson was his
opponent. Not only wore questions
ol , State concorn involved, but discus
sion turned upon tho fugitive slavo law
and tho question ol slavery In tho
Torritorios. Mr. Bigler was at this
time but 38 years of age, and it is
something of a coincidence that at tho
timo of his election as Governor of
Pennsylvania his brother John was
chosen Governor of California. Gov.
Iliglur's administration was character
ised by the virtues of the old-time
Govornors, especially maintaining rigid
oconomy and strict accountability in
tho use ot imiilio moneys. Ilo took a
firm stand against the praclico of put
ting good and bad legislation together
in a singlo bill lor the purposo of pet
ting tho bad measures through, ami it
was owing to his exertions that a bill
was passed forbidding tho passago of
any act which did not fully stato in
its title tho suiiioct-mutter and which
contained more than ono subject, thus
breaking down forever this most per
nicious system.
In Murcli, in.1I, he was ugain unani
mously nominated for Governor and
entered upon another laborious cam
paign ; but bis health failed and he
lay sick in tho northern part ot tho
Slate during mostof tho canvass. Ho
was dofeutud by tho Nalivo American
paity by a large majority. Tho new
party was very strong that year. In
January, 1855, but a tow days alter
tno expiration of bis luibcrnatnrial
term, he was elected President of the
Philadelphia and Erie Railroad Co., in
which capacity ho evinced his usual
onergy and industry and contributed
largely to bringing its alluirs to a
healthy condition. He was also, in
1855, elected to the Senate of the Uni
ted Stales, where be served for six
years, vt ben, alter tho election of
Mr. Lincoln, it became apparent that
secession would bo attempted, Mr.
Higler was untiring in bis cllorts to
secure an amicable adjustment of the
National troubles. Ifd acted with
Mr. Crittenden in bis efforts to socuro
a compromise, and held thut the peo
ple of the Southern Slatos oould have
no reasonable plea lor rosortinu (o
violonce until thoy had first exhausted
all peaceful moans for tho adjustment
of thoir grievances. In the oourse of
an elaborate speech upon the aubjoct
in tbe Senato, in February. 1HC1, he
said : "As for secession, I am ntterly
against it. 1 donr tha riuht, and I
abhor tho consequence; but I shall
;,wii,.., ...... ...., i .... ,i... I
...v..,KV u a,,u " uv I
It is no remedy for any one of the
evils lamented, ami In my judgment
it will aggravate rulher than remove
them and, in addition, superinduce
others of a more distressing und de
structive ehuiuclur."
lie wus a member of the Comitillleo of
thirteen, to which wus relorrcd the
I'umoiiB compromise propositions ol Mr.
Crittenden, and presented and udvo
caled a bill providing for subniilling
tho Ciilleiidun resolutions to a vole ul
tho people of tbo several Stales, which
wus rejected, but which hns since been
regarded by sagacious mun us a remudy
which would have utteily crushed
secession. He wus a member ol llie
Cbui'lestun Couvciillit. :A !8tl(), where
he took decided ground aguinsl the
nomination of J udgo Douglas. Ho was
temporary Chairman of tlio Democratic
Convention ot 1804, und voted lor the
nomination of Gunerul George B, Mo.
Clellan. Ho was also nominated in the
same year for Congress, and though
detoaled roceivud tnoro than his puny
vote. He was again a delegate to the
Democratlo Convention of 18(18, which
met in Now York. Ho hud tho nomi
nation for deleguto lo tho Convention
for tho revision of tho Sluto Constitu
tion, but withdrew from the tickot to
give place lo ex-Governor Andiow G.
Ciirtin us representative of the Liberal
Republicans. Afterwards tho dele
gates ut-lnrgu in the Coiislilutiuiitil
Convention reported that they bud
selected him to fill the vacancy caused
by tlio resignation of S. U. Reynolds.
In 1874 bo was olected a member of
the Ceuteiiniul Board of Filianuus, and
tho energy and ability which bo dis
played in that service are still fumilliur
to tho mostof our people. In Septem
ber, 1875, bo was presented in the
Democratic Stato Convention ut Erie
for tho Gubernatorial nominulion, and
Irom tho third to tho tenth bulloi led
all tho other candidates. His namo
was withdrawn alter tbo tenth ballot,
and Cyrus L. Pershing, of Schuylkill,
was iioimnuleu.
In 187U he manifested a warm in
terest in tho Democralio canvass for
tbo Presidency, and when the election
was seen to turn upon Iho disputed
votes ol certain Southern States, be wus
requestor) by Mr. lilden to go to Lou
isiana with other prominent andsuL'u
Clous Domocrals to see thut tho votes
cast in that Sluto wore fairly canvassed
and that tho rosult was leu-uHy declar
cd. His associates from Pennsylvania
in this duty wero Mr. Kundull and ex
Govornor Curtin. Mr. Higler went to
."sew Urleuns at a great sacrihee of
personal comfort ami business interests,
but in obedienco to a profound sense
of tbe gravity of tho crisis. In his own
words, lie lult tout he was "a peace com
missionor" and being such, could not
bo influenced by mere partisan consid
erutioiiB. II soon becamo satisfied
that Louisiana had declured for Tilden
by a very largo maiority.and could not
for a moment believe that tho despuruto
scnomos imputed to them would be
carried out by tho Returning Uoard.
When ho saw that he was mislukon in
this chaiitublo judgement, ha was as-
totmded and feli back upon the hope
thut there would bo such a manifesta
tion of popular indignation against the
Returning Board as would compell it
to retrace its steps and prevent the
consummation of what ho believed to
bo a great outrage. There could bo no
better illustration of his strict senso of
justico and his sublime confidence in
tho policy ol law and the integrity of
tho American people. In all ot the
proceedings at Now Orleans ho was a
prominont figure, commanding tho re
spect of both parties, and consulted ns
an oracle by those ot bis own political
faith.
For several years past ox Governor
lligler has given almost his entire at
tention to tbe development of the ro
sourcos of tbe county in which ho
lived, and was hiirhly esloomed by all
who know him. Ho was a man ot tho
sturdiest character, honest and faith
ful in doing all that ho undertook, and
whatever of good can bo said ot any
man who goes from this life to the one
boyond may bo said of William Biglor,
and truthfully.
Ex-Governor Bigler for a number of
years had boon ullectod with valvular
disease ot tho heart, and for tbe last
twelve mouths groatly enfeebled. For
the last threo months ho has boon con
fined to bis room. Although every
effort has been made by tho best med
ical skill he continued to grow worse
and for some lime it has beon evident
to his friends that his recovory was
impossible. He bore bis sufferings
with great resignation, and being fully
conscious of his condition be calmly
awaited death. On Sunday ho was
very much oppressed with difficulty of
breathing but passed a comlortuble
night, and at seven o'clock Monday
morning guvo signs of groat prostra
tion, his pulse being almost gone. Ral
lying again it was thought ho might
livo somo hours, but at filtecn minutes
of nino bis bead fell back, and, with a
fow gasping breaths and without a
strugglo, he passed away as in a gentle
sleep. Although unablo to oonverso
much ha rotaincd full consciousness
until nearly tho last moment. His
death bed was snrrounded by his family
and many of his personal Irionds. His
botly was deposited in tho comotry at
Clearfield on Wodnosday at ono o'clock
P. M.
