it Has his Cabinet been mixed up
with the sale of PorH-tiadorHhipa and
tho whinkcy King frauds as (.ram's
was? No, whatever wo as Oemocrats
may think ol tho ability of Hayes' ad
ministration, we are compelled to ad
mit that it has been free from thoso
foul scunduls which so disgraced tho
name ol America in all civilized coun
tries dining the eight years ol (.rant's
aiiminiritraiion. N hy then uiu noono
in the Republican pari' propose to
nominate llayes, w lien it had been tbo
uniform practice to givo a President a
unanimous re-nomination P Thero has
been no such breach between Hayes
and tho Republican leaders as occur
red between Lincoln and leading men
during the war and between Grant
and Sumner and others. Excepting
the temoval of a few subordinate olli
ccrs, such as Cornell and Arthur, no
catifo oi disagreement has existed be
tween Ilnyesandan inluiential lead
cr of his party. Jlu has dono every,
thing his party demanded ot him,
however desperate it was, even to the
orimeotiiilunliei l ), lor he has strangled
Ins own inliint "Civil service Hclorm.
Win then, we ask again, was there no
one to demand or even favor his nomi
nation? Thero is but one answer to
the question. Ho waB never elected
President, and lor four years has been
usurping an ollice belonging to another.
All intelligent Republicans, either open
ly or secretly, admit this. No person
claiming to be abovo the mental con
ation or an idiot now seriously pro
tends thai Hayes was elected. He
rtole the Presidency and tho party
dare not attempt to carry that load in
campaign. Jlenco llayes bimsell
and every other prominent man in the
party at once recognized the impossi
bility of llayes' ro-nominntion and
election. Tho nomination of (iarticld
was an accident, not premeditated. It
was made without thought, in tho ex
citement ot a stampede No one at
tho time thought of his connection
with and responsibility lor tho Presi
dential steal of 1 877. Clad to escape
tho evils ol a third term on tho one
hand and the scandal of tho ilulligan
emhroglio on tho other, tbo delegates
rushed to tho nomination of (iurlield
as tho only port of safety. Vot ho
was one ot the majority of the Klccto
ral Commission who but throo years
beforo had stolen tho Presidency and
given it to Hayes. Garfield had been
selected by tho Republican momhers
of the Houso as a tit inulruinoul to do
this work. The choico was no doubt
made because ot his connection with
the Credit Mubilur and He Gohjcr
allairs and tho facility with which ho
had foresworn himself beforo tho Po
land Committee. It was necessary to
have a man who would not shrink at
perjury. Ho had to take an oath to
support tho Constitution and to de
cide according to right and justico,
and aflcrlaking that oath was expect
ed to wholly disregard it, trample tho
Constitution under hid feet and utterly
ignore both right and justice Tho
Jiepuhlican members of tho Houso
knew (I aril eld and selected him to do
the inlamous job, and he did not dis
appoint their expectations. When
tho entire Republican party admit
that Hayes, for receiving tho stolen
Presidency, Mas incupaolo of being
now eluded to tho olllco, shall any

SIM A TO 11 DAVIS FOH HAN
COCK. Tho approval of the choico of tho
Democracy, in selecting (fen. llnneock
as their standard bearer, by such emi
nent independent .Republicans as Sen
ator David Davis, of Illinois, is worthy
of especial notice. Senator Davis was
tho tried and trusted political and per
sonal friend ol President Lincoln, hut
in view of tho grnvo oll'nnccs commit
ted by tho Radical leaders tbo Senator
has broken away from tho Republican
party. Senator Davis is an eminent
jurist, a man of unblemished character,
and tho possessor of great wealth.
W hat ho does, he docs Irom a senso of
duly, and bence his endorsement of
(ion. llnneock will havo great woighl
with a largo numbor ol intelligent Re
publicans. Everything written by
Senator Davis is ot great vnlno and is
espocially so whoro political questions
aro concerned ; wo therefore ask a
careful perusal ol tho following letter:
IlLooMmnToN, III., Aug. 4, 1880.
My Dear Sir : Tho training and habits
of my lifo naturally lead mo to prefer
civilians to soldiers for the great civil
trusts, lint as parlies aro organised
voters miiBt chooso between tho can
didates they present or stand aloof, in
different or neutral, which no good
citizen ought to do at a Presidential
election. 1 havo no hesitation in sup
porting (Jcnoral Hancock, for tho best
of all reasons to my mind, because his
clcctionwill put an end to sectional strile
and to sectional parlies, and will revive
a patriotic sentiment all ovorlho land,
which political leaders and factions, for
sinister ends, havo sought to provent.
Thore can be no permanent prosperity
without pacification.
Groat as woro tho achievements ol
General Hancock in war, his conduct
in peace, when in command of Louisi
ana and Texas in 18U7, was still great
er and jnstly commends him to tho
confidence of tho country. That was
a linio when passion ruled in ths pub
lic councils and military powor was
exerted to silcnco civil authority. The
temptation was strong to sail with tho
making current, for an inflamed par
tisan opinion was too ready to eon
done excosscs and to applaud oppres
sion. General Hancock's order, No. 40, in
assuming charge ol the Fifth military
district, announced "the right of trial
by jury, tho nd&fni corptfg, the liberty
of the press, the freedom ot speech, the
JilU
CLEARFIELD, PA.,
natural rights ol porsons and tho
natural riclils ol property must do re
spected." Those principles aro the
basis ot Ireo government anu tne proc
lamation of them by General Hnucock
stands out in striking contrast with
the action of his superior, who soon,
after rebuked and drovo him from tbat
command lor uttering sentiments
worthy of all honor. Tho soldier cloth
ed with extraordinary power volun
tarily uncovered beloro tho civil au
thority, sheathed his sword, testified
his lidelity to tho Constitution and set
an example of obedience to law which
will pass into history as his proudest
claim to distinction.
Tho man who in the midst of tho ex.
citemenls of that stormy period was
cool enough to see his duty clearly,
and courageous enough to exocuto it
(irmly, may bo well trusted in any
crisis. His letter to General Sherman,
recently brought to light, lifts (ioneral
Hancock fur abovo the past apprecia
tion of his civil ability. It marks him
as one of the wisest of his time, with
a statesman's grasp of mind and with
tbo integrity of a patriot whom no
senso of expediency could sworvofrom
his honest convictions. Long and un
checked possession of powor by any
party leads to extravaganco.eoi ruption
and looso practices. Alter twenty years
of domination by tho Republicans,
chronic abuses have become fastened
upon the public service liko barnacles
on tho bottom of a stranded Bhip.
Thero is no hopo ol a reform by lead
ers who havo created a system of mal
administration, anil who aro interested
in perpetuating its evils. Nothing
short of the sternest remedy gives any
promiseof effective reform, and tho drat
Btep toward it is in a chango ol rulors.
Tho Government must be got out ot
tho ruts in which it has too long boon
run. Now blood must bo infused into
tho management of public affairs bo
fore relief can bo expected. Tho peo
ple demand a change, nnd being in
earnest they are likely to bo gratified.
Very sincerely, David Davih.
To lion. James E. Harvey, Washing

A WEIGHTY OrA'O.V.
David Davis is the namo of one ot
the United Htatea Senators Irom Illi
nois. Ho was elected as an Independ
ent to that body, and has been saddlo
hagged for the past throo years. His
weight is .'100 pounds, and his opinions
whilu on tho Supremo Jlench woro as
profound as his weight. Tho Phila
delphia Itreordjn alluding to him, says :
"David Davis position on the fenco
bad ouo decided advantage. It was
favorable to deliberation. He could
look dispassionately on both sides. His
conclusions will havo duo weight with
thinking men who know his abilities
and consider his antecedents. Ho do
elares that 'long and unchecked pos
session ol power by any party leads to
exlravaganco, corruption and loose
practices. After twenty years of dom
ination by tho Republicans chronic
abuses havo becomo fastened upon the
public service liko barnacles on the
bottom of a stranded ship. There is
no hopo of reform by leaders who havo
created a system of maladministration
and who aro interested in perpetrating
its evils. Nothing short of the stoniest
remedy gives any promiso ol ell'ectivo
relorm, and tho first Btep toward it is
in a change of rulers. Tho Govern
nient must be got out of tho ruts in
which it has too long boon run. Now
blood must bo infused into tbo manage
ment of public affairs beloro relief can
bo expected. Tho pooplo demand a
chango, and, boing in earnest, thoy
aro likely to bo gratified.' You are
right, most ponderous Davis j tho poo
plo desire a chango."
Those Sukferino Women. Tho
Philadelphia, Times says: Wiser
than tho Socialists, who interrogated
tho several candidates lor President at
long rango, as to tho oight hour law
and othor troublesome things to poli
ticians, tho Woman Suffrage pooplo
are bearding tho Presidential lions in
their dens. Tho first den invaded was
that on (lovornor's Island and it must
bo admitted that General Hancock
novor was faced by more formidable
antagonists, although thoy warred
only with words, which are by far tho
most effective weapons of their kind.
Tho Goncral came off victorious, but
had to do somo brisk countermarching
and must shiver to think how narrow
ly ho escaped being impaled on tho
points of theso women's tongues. Now
we shall see how General Garfield,
Goncral Weaver, General Dow and
tho other Gonorala who aro Presiden
tial candidates will receive tho attacks
of tho aamo forces. II Bomo one ol
them could bo induced to troat tho
Woman's Suffrage with tho gravity
with which tho subject as treated in
Kngland, but which it seems impossi
ble for American politicians to bestow
upon it, that man would undoubtedly
havo tho moral support of tho associa
tion represented by this Committeo.
Hut tho troublo is that in winning this
boon ho would loso tho respect and
confidence of nearly all the other wom
en in this country, lor tho womon who
aro in favor of Woman Suffrage are in
a pitiful minority.
Government Tuiivts. Tho Cin
cinnati Enquirer says that in tho fiscal
year. 18(i7-b8 over ono hundred millions
ol gallons of distilled spirita wero
manufactured in the United States.
The tax was ?2 per gallon. Tho rove
nuo from thatsource should havo been
fico hundred millions of dollars. Tho
rovenuo from that sourco was only
ftntYfn millions of dollars. Whnt
becamo of tho difference 7 Why it
was stolen beforo it reached tho Treas
ury. Tho l'cderul officials got thoir
sharo of tho plnndor, as they were
partners in tho Whisky Rings, and
without whoso assistance such gigantio
rohories could not havo been porpo
trated. That is tho way it happens
that tho heaviest losses to tho Treas
ury do not appear on the books. Tho
money Is stolen bolore it roaches thoro.
Sinco 18C0 public officials have grown
cunning. They take thoir toll in ad
vanco, pay thomsolves according to
thoir opportunities, and let tho books
record only what they chooso to re

A TIIU1IUI.E ACCIDENT TO A CIRCUS PER
FORMER. Winchester, Va., Aug. 10. As the
stroot parado of Coup's circus, which
was to Bhow hero to-night, was being
organised about 8 o'clock this morning,
a torriblo accidont Iinppcnod. Charles
Drayton, a Herculean-framed gymnast,
and whoso specialty in the show was
to bo fired Irom a cannon to a trapexo,
but who also exhibited along tho line
of march in a cago of hyenas, had just
ontorcd the latter in his spnnglcd tights
and no weapon but a heavy raw-hido
whip. Tho iron door was securely
locked nnd tho key taken back to tho
tent. No sooner had it been carried
thither by the man, who had boon tho
only in one viow of tho animals, except
tho daring companion of their parade,
than one great fellow, the mnst recent
addition to tho collodion, made a bound
for Drayton. The latter had begun to
pose tho animals for effectivo viow from
tho only open side of tho cage, and had
glvon butslightattontion tothisono. Ho
saw the sudden movement toward him,
and had just tirao to throw his right
arm up, thus saving his throat. Tho
brute fastened his teeth In the flesh of
his forearm, and Its weight would have
borne Drayton to tho floor of the cage,
but tbat be seised hold of tho bars.
With bull-dog tenacity the ferocious
beast hung on, and only when the flesh
camo away from tbo bono did it loose
its hold, liy this tirao tho othor five
wore in a high stato oi excitomont, but
were kept at bay by a hearty uso of
the whip in tho briel interval boforo
tbo larger beast's second attack. This
was directed at Drayton's abdomen,
the wido open jnwn being turned side,
ways so as to catch and tear open the
entrails. With both hands he bore the
beast down so as to save his vitals, but
the long fangs met once more in hie
muscles, this timo the right thigh. Hy

torriblo action took place, was all com
pamod In about two and one-half min
utos. Drayton called loudly lor help
but amid the bustlo and contusion of
the commencement of tho parade ho
was not noticed at once. A crowbar
was finally forced into the animal's
jaws, while a blow behind the ears by
another oiowbar placod it effectually
out ol powor to do more harm. The
wounded man was then extricated frora
his still perilous position, the othor
hyonas meantime making a hidoous
noiso and dangerous demonstrations at
the prostrate tamer. Drs. McGuiro,
Uolladay and Williams were called in
and patched up the poor fellow as woll
as might bo done on the spot, in order
to render his removal possible. A re
markable feature of bis caso was that
fow large and no vital blood vessels
had been torn. The muscles of the in

AUKAHAM LINCOLN'S OPIN
ION OX HANCOCK.
A correspondent of the Lancaster
Intelligencer gives the following anoc-
uolo, as told him by Mr. James Mc
Dougal, a prominent Republican ol
liaitimoro:
When Mr. Lincoln issued his Eman
cipation Proclamation I believe that
was tho occasion a deputation ot citi
zens from liaitimoro wont on to Wash
ington to congratulate him. Mr. Jle
Dougal was one ol tho number.
"lake seals, boys, take soats! ex
claimed Mr. Lincoln, as ho rung the
bell for chairs to bo brouiht in.
The visitors sat down and spent
nenrly an hour in conversation. Pres
ently tho subject of Gonorala camo up,
and various opinions woro exprcssod
as to who was tho ablest ollicor on our
sido. When a groat many opinions
uau neon given, Mr. Lincoln said :
"Gentlemen, in my judgement you
have not struck tho right man yet."
And of course all woro anxious to
hoar him namo tho man, and asked
him to do so. He said :
"It ia Uen. Hancock."
Tho countenances ol bis visitors ex
pressed their surprise, and ono of them
ventured to say that ha feared llnn
eock was too rash.
"Yes," said Mr. Lincoln, "so somo of.
tho older Generals have said to mo, and
1 havo said to them that 1 havo watch
od General Hancock's conduct very
carefully, and 1 have found that when
ho goes into action ho achieves his
purpose and comes out with a smaller
list ot casualties than any of them.
Bold ho is, but not rash. Why, gen
tlemen, do you know what his record
was at West Point ?"
And Mr. Lincoln went to his book
shelf, and taking down an army reg
ister showod the position in which
Hancock had graduated, and that,
furthermore, in a class that was ono ol
tho most distinguished that had ever
graduated at tho Military Academy.
Continuing to speak of him ill tho
bighest terms, ho lurlher said :
"I tell you, gontlomen, that if his
lifo and strength are spared, I believe
that General Hancock is destined to bo
ono of tho most distinguished men of
tho ago. Why, when 1 go down in the
morning to open my mail and I arise
at 4 o'clock I dochtro that 1 do it in
ear and trembling, lest 1 may hear
that Hancock has boon killed or
wounded."
Mi HACKS OFF.
Tho Harrisburg Patriot Bays : Hon.
Francis W. Hughes, tho real leader of
tho Greenback party in this Slate, has
written a letter advising against a lu-
sion with the Republicans on Congress
men in the Schuylkill district. Ho de
clares in effect that he can entor into
no partnership with a political organi
zation by which "tho ballot is corrupt
ed by falso registration, by employ
ment and uso of roponlora at elections
and bribery of tho officers' to procure
falso counts and falso returns, and, all
thoso failing, thon by eight to soven
tribunals ; by which Legislators in
Stato and municipal bodies are pur
chased by interest in tho fruits ol such
Legislation or direct payment in mon
ey, property confiscated by taxation,
as in Philadelphia, by ratos of two and
a halt per cent, or more on high valu
ations, and tho administration of public
justico corruptod through jury-fixers,
witnoss maKors and tho shameless par
don of wealthy bribers and bribe-takers
and othor criminals through the
Pardon Board with Biicb strides to
ward tho pollution of tho bench that
in somo cases have engendered tho
gravest suspicions and impaired pub
lic confidence" Ho adds that "tho
Captain of the Pardon Hoard is tbo
accredited Commander-in-Chief of these
desolating forces." Mr. Hughes is
justly severe and if his advice had
been givon two years ago and hail
bocn taken to heart by hia paray it is
probablo tbat tho evils and wrongs ho
denounces might have been chocked
ero this. ,
A True Hill. Garfield Indicted.
Ex-Govornor Hendricks said :
After tho election Garfield went to
Now Oilcans by rcqucBt of Gen. Grant,
without authority of law, as a partisan.
Ho wont there to assist hia party in
making up a caso, and after his return
to Washington, of all his associates ho
was the only man who took his seat
upon tho Electoral Commission. Hy
every senlimout of fair play he should
havo been excluded from the jury box.
Hy bis own sworn statement ol what
he did in Now Orleans, Garfield had
chargo of the returns from West Feli
ciana Parish. In ono of tho inner
rooms of Packard's Custom Uousd he
did his work, examined the affidavits,
and whon thoy wero not sufficiently
full, be prepared or had prepared addi
tional interrogatories to bring them
within tbo rules adopted by tho re
turning board. Tho testimony, so re
ceived by Garfield, went back to the
'returning board, and the result was
that West reliciana with Us Demo
cratic majority was thrown out. In
Washington, Garfield's voto was that
Congress could not go behind tho re
turns thus made. As agent for his
party ho helped to make returns by
manipulating tho evidence ; and as a
juryman for tho Nation bo bold such
ovidenco as conclusive and binding.
Sneak Thief Intelliiienci. The
reported mooting of the National La
bor Convention, representing fifteen
Slates, at Sharon, Morcor county, and
its endorsement of Garfield, is exposed
hy tho Sharon 7"tmr. This meeting
was published by tho Garfield organs,
with all the display of big head lines
and enthusiastic doublo leaded com
ment. The Convention at Sharon,
reduced to cold fact, was the gather
ing ol a silver polish peddler from
Cleveland on a corner, and three or
four persons who were attracted by
his eulogy of the polish he was trying
to sell. The polish peddler was tho
"Convention of 15 States, casting 225
votes 123 for Garfield, 74 for Han
cock, and 20 for Weaver."

A PAINFUL SCEN1 roR TUB FRIENDS OF
THE CREDIT IIOIIILIER CANDIDATE.
Prom tbo New York Star.
About tho time Gen. Garfield was
under investigation by the Credit Mo
bilier Committeo, a remarkable scene
took placo in tho Houso ol Kepresentu
lives. Gen. liutler and tho Ohio stales-
man crossed swords over an appronria
lion, and the latter received a thrust
that uttorly humiliutod him boforo as
sociates. The scene is thus described
in oneot John Russell Young's letters,
dated Fobruary 7, 1873:
Gon. liutler got in a torriblo blow
on Garfield yesterday, which has boon
the talk of the town to-day. Uarlioid
is a comparatively young man and an
exceedingly ahlo man, unj, until bo
got into tho Credit Mobilier job, was
considered a man of tho most sterling
integrity, lty means ol his ability,
ho is Chairman of tho second most im
portant Committeo in the Houso A p.
nroprialiona. Ho has an exceedingly
sensitive nature, and probably no man
nvolvod in tho Urea it Mobilier tools
more keonly bis disgrace. But bo has
been unfortunate, and especially in his
hatred of Gen. liutler. Ho belongs
to that class of supposed highly moral
nion in politics who think it a highly
moral duty to consider Gon. liutler as
a bad man and to treat him accord
ingly. Yesterday, during a debatoon
the Postofltco Appropriation bill, when
Myers was trying to havo tho pay ol
tho overworked letter carnos raised to
a rcsncctablo figure, Gen. liutler favor
ed the proposition and pitched into tho
Postoflleo Department. Garfield was
managing tho bill, and, annoyed at
liutler s remarks, said it was merely
spito work, liutler retorted, and Gar
field replied that ho didn't care to have
any personal quarrel with tho gentle
man. Butler, as quick as flash, rose,
and waving bis hand significantly al
Gartiold, said : "God knows 1 don t
want any quarrel with tho gentleman.
l)e mortuis nit nisi tionum," which, iu
good United States language, means
that it was not liutler s desire to hit a
man when ho was down. Tho speech
struck Garfield like a thunderbolt. He
sat down in his seat utterly speechless
and demoralized. Tho whole House
saw the fierceness of tho spoech, and
lor a minute or more there was a death
liko silence. It was sad and very
p .infill.
HOW ALIENS BECOME VO
TERS. Evory supporter of Hancock and
English who requires naturalization
papers to enable him to vote, should
attend to the mutter nt once: and all
friends should see that no vote is lost
by ncgligonco. Hero under is an ab-
stractot tho law, and somo suggestions
on the subject.
An alien is required to reside in tho
United States five years, two years of
which time must ho atlor tiling a
declaration of intention ; but when an
alien has been a resident throo years
boforo reaching the ngoot twonty-ono,
he need not tile a declaration, itosi-
denco must be proved to the satisfac
tion ot tho Court, by competent wit
nesses. Ono year's rosidenco in the
Slato is required, but it noed not bo
tho year last past, holdiors aro enti
tled to full papers after ono yoar's resi
dence. Minor children becomo citi
zens by naturalization of tho father
or widowed mother. If an alien
tiles a dclaiation, but dies beforo na
turalization, his widow and children
becomo ontitlod to all rights of citizens
upon taking the oath required by law.
A child born in a loreign lanu in a
citizen if the father ho a citizen.
Certificates of naturalization can
only bo obtained In open Court; and
all requiring tbom should bo in attend

Declaration ol intention can bo nied

should now filo them.
Thoso who filed declaration in othor

Tho old provorb says that evory

One man goes through life luktng

Ho carries a heavy load and be finds
it not worth keeping when bo gets

Irot and wonr of work than upon the

old mill, thut mokes a great noiso over

Another man carries the same

A PECULIAR DEFENSE.
It was reportod several das age
that Mr. Justico Swayno, ot the Su
promo Court of tho United States, had
delivered an opinion Irom his judicial
place in tho matter ol ttio Do Golver-
Pavement -Garfield transaction. This
is the language attributed to a Justice
ol the Supremo Court ot the United
."Slates:
"The agreement icith General Garfield,
a member of Congress, to paylumiofiW)
as a contimitnt tee for procuring aeon
tract which was itself made to depend
upon a future appropriation by Congress,
u-hich appropriation could only come from
a Committee of which he was Chairman,
was a sale of official influence which no
veil can cover against the plainest prin
ciples of public policy. N o counselor at
law while holding high office has a right
to put Himself in a position of temptation,
and, under pretense of making a legal
argument, e.rert his official influence upon
public officers dependent on his future
actions. Certainly Courts of Justice wilt
never lentl themselves to enforce contracts
obtained by such influences."
Now, observes an exchange, what
sort of defense do the Republicans
mako against this statement? His
that some ono else, and not Justico
.Swayno, said these things. It appears
that Mr. Justico Swayno did not from
his high judicial placo utter this Indict
ment against Mr. Garfield. Tho do
fonso is that some ono elso, and not Mr.
Justico Swayno, made this statement.
1 ho dclcnso is not that the statement
is untrue. It matters little who made
this declaration. If tho Supreme Court
of Iho United States should make this
declaration, it being untruo, Garfield
might yet face a frowning multitudo
of voters. Hut tho defenso made by
tho friends of Mr. Garfield is tbat theso
charges were not made hy a Justico ol
the Supremo Court. The truth of the
charges is not denied. It mattors little
whether it was Mr. Swayno, a Repub
lican Justico of tho Supremo Hunch, or
Mr. J. R. Doolitlle, a Republican at
torncy of National renown, who made
the statement wo quote above. Tbo
emphatic and melancholy fact is that
the allegation, by whomsoever mado,
ia true.

Republican ot Jorsey City, and a Re
publican since the formation of the
party, spending his money and ener
gies in its bebull, announces hia pur.
poso to support Hancock in a letter, in
which bo says :
"I am sick and tired of this contin
ual waving of tho bloody shirt, which

A TANGLED ALLIANCE.
Tho Philadelphia Record in alluding
to what Is transpiring between tbe
Turks and the Grecians says :
"Those chronic anarchists, the Al
banians, or some of them at least, aie
now reported to havo agreed upou a
revolt against tho Sultan. The south
ern part of Albania belonged to ancient
Greece, and the new alignment ol the
Grecian frontier proposed by the Ber
lin Conference cut off a considerable
slice of its territory and assigned it to
the modern kingdom of tho llollonos.
This partition ol its Empire in Europe
was not so mnrh resented- by Turkey
in Its political character as was the
transfer ot a largo Musselman popula
tion to a Christian State hy the lunati
on I followers of Islam, not only in the
ceded territory but everywhere else.
The Albanian uprising is more a re
ligious movement than a pure and
simplestriko for dynastic independence.
It interpolates a now and etnbarrass
ingjf actor into tho voxatious diplomatic
problem with which tho six great
Powers are now feebly wrestling.
Whether the erection of Albania into
a new Mohammedan autonomy will
he a result of the present complication
remains to be seen. That might be
the let way out of tho difficulty ; for
thu Alli.tiian. are a uly custom
ers to deal with as tbo Afghans, and
there is no telling whnt they might do
if it wero altompied to coerce them.
There are something ovor a million of
these bulf civilized niountuinoors. They
are constantly under arms, and when
thoy have nobody elso to go to war
with they fight among themselves. The
agricultural capacities of tho country
aro excellent, but they are vory poor
farmors, robbery and pillago being far
moro to their taste Extensive mili
tary Bervico as mercenaries in other
countries has very generally lamiliar
i.od them with arms. Originally
Christians, the largo majority havo be
come Mohammedans since tho Turkish
subjugation of their territory, and it
is a strange compensation ot history
that a race which was onco devoutly
loyal to tho Cross now raises the ban
ner of the Crescent in resistance to tho
Ottoman himself.
Dead on His Engine. On Satur
day evening an engineer on the Chica
go, Burlington and Quincy railway,
named Emmanuel Curran, died on his
ongino between Peoria and Galesburg,
with bis band on the throttle and the
engine going at full speed. Tbe fire
man noticed that whilo ha was sitting
as usual with bis head leaning out of
tho cab, he passed a station without
blowing a whistle. Ho called to him,
but received no answer. Ho then
went to shaking him, thinking he had
gone to sleep, when to his horror bo
found him dead.
A Verv Good Text. Tho Spring,
field Jlevublican ( Indl suva ; Thnmnch
heralded journey of General Garfiold
brought to tho front a lot of Republi
can bummers and political bankrupts
who mado themselves conspicuous after
tho fashion ot such men. Whilu not

Presidency could not bo but distaslelui
to tbo pooplo. "Garfiold and Collax,"
too, at Chautauqua there is a text
that will last tho Democratic papers
till eloction day.
ANew Departure. Tho Now York
Sun has tho information that secret
societies, called "The 300," aflor the'
number of votes that wero steadily cast
for Grant at the Chicago Convention,
are to be organized all over tho coun
try, with a viow to tho nomination of
a strong man in 1884. This movement
has alreatly been started at Washing
ton, as at tho great centre of political
agitation, and is intended to take the
largest patriots who failed in their
recent oxporimont to dictate tho third

Well Put. Tho Radical circus head
ed by tho distinguished commission
which has bocn "swinging around the
circle," is stylod by the Valley Spirit
" I he wondcrlul Garhold immoral ag
gregation," and thinks that it contains
"moro curiosities under ono tent and
moro moral ngliness under ono suit of
clothes than ovor boforo dreamed of
by any man in the show bpsinoss."
All of which is a truthful pon picture
of the mountebank concern.
"Ia It any wonder that tht North ahould ba
wild for Uerleld ?" I'oluaioia Spf.
Well, yos, it would bowondertul that
it should, for many cogent reasons. In
tho first placo ho docs not desorvo tbat
it should, and in the second tbo people
of tho North know it and will not have
it so. Any othor conundrums on

NotOur Fault. Lot our Radical
friends bear in mind that what is said
of Garfield's criminal acts in the Do
Golyer and Credit Mobilior cases is
not an invention ot the uemocratio
party. It is wholly a Ropublican in
dictment, and submitted to the judg
ment of tho people it has boon return
ed "a true bill."
Tbo noted story toller, Genornl Kil
patrick, is tolling the Republicans of
Maino that "tho Democrats mado thoir
greatest blunder this year at Cincin
nati by tho nomination of Hancock."
It may be so, but it looks as if it re
quired a great many orators in Maino
to explain tho fact to the voters.
A couple ol red nosed old topers

was tho reply.
Smart of Course. A little fellow,
on going for the first lime church
where tho pows wore vory high, was
asked on coming out what he did in
tho church, whon be replied : "1 went
into a cupboard and look a scat on
the shelf." That boy is too smart for
anything.
The Doinocracy of Indiana are mak
ing a more vigorous campaign than
haa ever boon witnessed in any Stale.
They feel entirely confident of success,
but mean to "make assurance doubly
sure and take a bond of fate" by put

it all along the linos.
No Democrat should forget tbat
with scarcely a single oxecption evory
man of the Returning Boards in Louis

work of cheating Mr. Tilden out of
the Presidency was rewarded with

Not in a mother, not in wives, not
