Ab ! J u oa ie, lad, tic' newi I har,

While down my heard tear obaiea tear,
Wl' very grief.

Wi' holy tpeech and plout atride,

An' when opo' the battle field,
Y'ur k intra i aword juii dcjgu'il to wcii-t,
We a' ripectod buttered tLield,
An' broken erar,
Kreye an inch o'grun' wnd jield,
For love or tear.
Ad' when, again, wl' loud huitai.
We teut ye all to make our lawa,
An' thow iourtel' in Coitgrent haV,

To make rebellion 'a bhtideit right.

An' then, again, we'd eauta to fear

Hon. Geo. A. Jenks.
Guiiigo A. Junka, tbo Dcihocmlic
condidato Air Supremo Judtro, is in bis
forty-firth year. Jle is tho youngcHt
of ten children, and wan born in 1'unx
sntawnoy, Jefferson county, Pa.,
March 20, 183G. His father, a pliysi
cian, was descended from B Welsh
Qualjr family who were among tho
early settlors of Philadelphia. II is
mother wiih a daughter of tbo Rov. D,
Barclay, u Scoteli Presbyterian minis
lor. When Mr. Jonks was a child, bis
eldent brother, D. B. Jonks, who was
a lawyer, was teaching him to count
a bundled, and casually at-ked him
what business be would follow when
be beeamo n man. The reply was,
"Wait till to morrow morning and I
will tell you." During tho night tho
determination was formed, and tho
next morning communicated by tho
subject of this sketch, tbat he would
be a lawyer. This purpose, so early
formed, was unaltorably fixed. Thence
forward bis every labor and study
was directed to lite purpose ol bis lilo
To there early studies is largely to bo
attributed bis capability to deal with
original legal questions, auch as bo
manifested on tbo impeachment of
Secretary Jielknap, tbo discussion of
tbo Louisiana and Oregon cases before
tbo Electoral Commission, and the do
bato on tbo distribution of tho Geneva
Award.
When attending the common sebool,
one of the readers then in nso was the
Introduction to tho English Reader,
In this, ono of tbo lessons was the
story of the "Noble Baskot-makor."
Krora the story the moral was derived
that every man, no difference what
bis circumstances or purposes in lifo
might bo, should learn a trade. This
moral be determined to act upon,
When fourteen years old bis fntbor
died. At sixteen lie entered upon an
apprenticeship of two years to tbo
carpenter and joiner trade. Whon bis
torm oxpirod, ho worked at bis trude,
taught school, and occasionally was
employed at civil engineering, till be
entered college Whilo ongnged in
the latter vocation, in the (Spring of
1855, ho assisted to lay out Omaha, in
Nebraska. In the full of tbat year be
entered the junior class at Jefferson
College, having iu tho mornings and
evenings, while teaching and working
steadily pursued his literary studies.
lie bad been entered as a student of
law before be entered oollego, and tho
lion. W. P, Jenks, who was bis Ktiar-
dian, bad Irom early boyhood, directed
bim in bis legal and literary reading.
Ho graduated at Jefferson Col logo in
tbo class of 185R, and in Pobruary,
1859, was admitted to tho bar, In
Jefferson county, having finished bis
legal studies undor bis elder brother,
I . W. Jenks.
At tbo Septombor torm, 1859, holed
in conducting bia first caso in Court,
which was an all-important ono to his
clients, a widow and her minor chil
dren, whose all was their home, and
that homo was dependent upon the re
sult of tho caso. He was onnoaed bv
the leading legal talent ut the bar,
including Hon. Isaao O. Gordon,
lion. William P. Jonks and Hon.
O. W. Zolglor. Ho won tbe caso and
tlionro lorward was employed in most
of the important causes in his own
county, and bis namo soon became
familiar in many of tho Courts of west
ern and central Pennsylvania, to which
bo was called for the trial of important
oases.
When not engagod in tho Courts,
his life has been one of constant atudy
and preparation. Ho novor sought
publio position, but was known as a
CLEARFIELD,
Democrat. In tbe fall of 1874 be was
tendered tho Democratic nomination
for Congress in the 25th district of
Pennsylvania, against Gen. Hurry
Whito. Tbo district was hoavily Re
publican, but his personal popularity
and tho tidal wave elected him to tho
41th Congress. Speaker Korr ap
pointed him Chairman of tbo Com
mittee on Invalid Pensions A mas
torly report on the condition and work
ing of tho pension bureau, derived
from investigation by order of tbo
House, bo soon made, and followed
this by a bill which was calculated to
prevent luluro abuses. Bounty land
warrants, which beloro this bad been
personal prororly, and become the
plunder ot a dishonest ring, which at
ono single timo bad (eir.ed upon ovor
ono hundred thousand acres ot land,
were changed to reality, through bis
efforts, and to guarded that only the
rightful owners, their legal heirs or
ussigns, could obtain thorn.
His forensic ability first became
known to tho Houso in a discussion
concerning the character of an Invalid
Pension. He had assorted that an In
valid Pension, for death or disability
of a soldier in the service, in tho lino
of bis duty, was a contract right. This
was denied by soino of tbo leading Re
publicans of the Houso, who alleged
it was a mero gift of gratuity, and a
warm debato ensued, at tho conclusion
of which Mr. Junks made a legal argu
ment, tracing tho legislation on the
subject from and since tbo Revolution
ary war, and establishing so couclus
ively the position ho assumed, that it
has not since been denied. This was
soon succeeded by a legal discussion
concerning tho refusal of Hullott Kil
bourno to testily bef'oro acommitleo of
tbo House.
' Tho legal prominence be hud already
(attained led tho House to elect him as
ono of tho seven managers on part of
tho House to conduct tbo impeach
mentof Secretary Belknap, tho others
being Messrs. Lord, Knott, Lynde,
MuMuhon, Hoar and Lapham. On
that trial befu'ro tho Senato the De
fendant was represented by three
leading lawyers of tho Nation Hon.
Joremiah S. Black, Hon. Mutt Car
penter and Hon. Montgomery Blair.
Mr. Jenks was selected by the managers
as one of tho Committee to draw the
pleadings. Ho was afterwards ap
pointed to mnko ono of tho arguments
on the quuslion of tbo jurisdiction of
tho Senate to impeach after tbe olHccr
had resigned, and subsequently, in
consequence of tho illness of Mr. Lap
ham, ho was selected to discuss tho
facts. His legal attainments were on
this trial mado conspicuous to tbo
Senate and the Nation, and conceded
to bo unsurpassed by any in the cause.
Tbo subject of tho distribution of
tho Gcnova Award came before tbe
Houso on majority and minority re
ports from tho Judiciary Committee
Mr. Jenks offered an amendment to
the majority report, and iu support of
llio amendment and report as amended
mado an argument involving some of
tho most difficult questions of interna
tional law. The report, as amended
by bim, was passed by tho House.
Soon after the meeting of the aocond
session be was appointed by Speaker
Rundall one of tbo committee of fifteon,
to Investigate the conduct of tho elec
tions in Louisiana, and on his return
was appointed by the Chairman of the
Democratic Caucus, with Mr. Field ol
Now York, and Mr. Tucker of Vir
ginia, to represent tbo Democracy of
tbo Houso in preparing, presenting and
discussing the facts and tho law before
the Electoral Commission. Itfcll to Mr.
Jenks to mnko tho opening arguments
in tho eases of Louisiana and Oregon.
While he wasongaged in llio discussion
of the first of these cases boforo the
Com mission, Sonalors Thurman and
Bayard sat sido by Bide. Senator
Bayard passed a note of admiration of
tbe argument to Senator Thurman,
and in response received the following
reply ; "Tho more I hoar this man, tho
more I admire him. Ho reasons like
a Nowton'or LaPlaco. He has spoken
half an hour and has not uttorod a
superfluous word." This compliment
ary opinion was genorally concurred
in by tboso who heard or read tho pro
ceedings before the Elocloral Com
mission. In most of tbo legal discussions that
aroso in the Houso Mr. Jenks partici
pated, in audition to tbo full perforin
ancoof his duties on tbe very laborious
Committee ol which ho was Chairman.
At tho expiration of his congressional
term, he immediately resumed his pro
fessional pursuits, in which be has
ever sinco boon engaged. His extens
ive praolico has included almost every
branch tbat arises in the State and
covers a voty broad range of Area.
His election to the Supremo bench of
the Slate will be but a just recognition
of bis superior legul attainments.
Crime Upon Crimi. Juduo Black
has boen liberally quoted by tho Re
publican papers as testifying Garfield's
furity in the Credit Mohiiier matter,
n reply to a direct question, be now
confirms his former statements, but
makes his meaning clearer, in those
ords :
'Did I mean la my teller to Mr. Illalao tbat
General MarBHd acknowledged tbo receipt ef
atoek and dividenda Irom ako. Aiaoir Unqoea
ttonably he egread to take the atoek and did re
eaiea dividend, opoa It. The letter plainly im
pliea tbat he had ooncealed or tried to eoneeel
tbat fact from ma. lint nil adiaiiiion wal coupled
with a atatement which ahowed him to be gullt
leae." Now, wholber Garfield took the
dividenda innocently or otherwise, bis
subsequent statement under oath and
bis persistent denials over sinco must
condemn bim in the eyes of honest
people wbo admire truthfulness and
bate the crime ot perjury. It is bail
enough to lie about such matters, but
to commit porury is awful I

REASONS
WHY PENNSYLVANIA REPUB
LICANS SHOULD VOTE FOR
GENERAL HANCOCK.
The author of tbo folloning clear
and convincing TIIIHTY-SEYEX
DEASOXS is well known to us. A
Democrat up to the timo ol tbo Kansas-Nebraska
troubles, bo then took
tho Douglas viaw ( things, and dur
ing the war became actively identified
with tbo Republican parly. Ho has
voted with tho Republican party ever
since, though often restivo under tbo
disprtt'wfl- r,al--t1ti7 try a aeifiab
and corrupt leadership. The nomina
tion of General Hancock brings him
fully to tbo light of day, and bo gives
tindcniablo reasons lor tho fitilh by
which ho is now guided :
BECAUSE
The Republican nominee, General Gur
field, has been declnred a corrupt and
unworthy man by mmy of the high
est authorities of his own parly.
BECAUSE
Many of tho Independent Kenubli-
eans of bis own district adopted and
widely circulated a resolution which
arraigned and denounced hint "lor bis
corrupt connection with tho Credit

BECAUSE
Tbat samo body of the Independent
Republicans of General Garfield's own
irrespective ol lormer or purty attach
district called npon t licit fellow citizens,
mcntfl, who desired honest government
to unito with them in an effort to do
teat Genera) Garfield, and elect in his
stead an honest and reliablo man ; and
becauso such efforts have elicited so
much sympathy at various times in
tbo district where General Garfield is
best known, that if it had not contain
ed one of tho very largest Republican
district majorities in tho entire United
States, bo would long sinco have been
remanded to deserved obscurity and
disgrace, for the reason and on tbe
ground that bo is a dishonest and cor
rupt man.
BECAUSE
General Garfield's connection with tbo
De Golycrv pavement transaction, was
not only an unworthy and dishonest
act, which no man deserving tho sup
port of tbo honost members of any
party could commit, but a direct vio
lation ot one of tho best and most uso
ful laws over passed by tbo Republican
party, which duclures that for precise
ly such acts as General Garfield com
mitted in connection with this trans,
action, ho and all other criminals guilty
of tho same offense should be punished
by lino, by imprisonment, nnd by be
ing declared forever iucnpnblo of hold
ing any offlco of honor, trust or profit
under tho government of tbo United
Slates. '
BECAUSE
It is tbe duty of ovory honost citizen,
without distinction of party, who
wishes to secure tor himself and bis
posterity tho blessings of bonest gov
eminent, and aid in the enforcement
of such law, and to put an ineffaccublo
brand of disgraco upon tho corruplion
isls who violate them.
BECAUSE
On account of General Garfield's guilty
complitily with some of tho most cor
rupt schemes by winch tho National
Treasury has ever been despoiled, bo
would not bavo tho power to resist tho
clamors and demands of other spoils
men if bo should bo elected President
ot tho United States. Tho most cor
rupt elements of tho Republican party
would find in bim a congonial confed
erate, as bis own record establishes his
his complicity with their crimes, and
proves his readiness to violate his pri
vato and his official oath, to sacrifice
bis honor, to degrado bia manhood,
and to betray his trust as holder of the
purse-strings of tbo Nation.
BECAUSE
Tbe agencies now actively employed
to secure the election of General Gar
field, in spito of the horror his crimos
have inspired in tho hreasls of many
honest Republicans, are of a corrupt
and corrupting nature, inasmuch aa
tbo main reliance of tho present party
managers is upon the lavish uso ol'im
moneo turns of money, wrung Irom
employes of tho government, in defl
ance of tho Civil Sorvico Rules laid
down at tho commencement ol tho ad
ministration of President Hayes, and
from local party leaders who have been
enriched by municipal abuse.'.
BECAUSE
Men whoso sole interest in elections
hinges upon regaid for tho welfare of
their country, nnd who are not tho
partners, nor tho dupes, nor the de
pendants of tho leaders who wield gov

enriching themselves, cannot maintain
tboir soll respoct by acting as tbe ac
complices of notorious enrrnptionists.
BECAUSE
Every intelligent cilir.cn knows that
under the dominion of tho Republican
party the noble State of Pennsylvania
has held a subordinate and disgraceful
position at tho National Capitol, not
withstanding the great services she
has ronderotl to tbe Republican party,
and the virtues and brilliant talents of
many of her Ilopublicao cilitona, and
meanwhile the management of tho
leading Republican cities of the State
and of matters oonnectfd with State
government has often fallen into the
bands of unworthy men.
BECAUSE
Numerous attempts mudu to restore
ronnsylvania to hor truo position and
to purify bor counsels, wbicb bin god
on the hopo of effecting a radical re
form within tho lines of tho Republi
can party, havo disastrously lulled on
account of tho thoroughness with
which ils tnachinorv has been pervert

oniony opposed to pure government.
BECAUSE
The best and only hope of a trium
phant vindication of tbe motto of tbo
Commonwealth, "Virtuo, Liberty and
Independence," binges upon a Na

leadership of the most distinguished
and patriotic of Pennsylvania's living
sons.
BECAUSE ,
Every living principlo of genuine Re
publicanism has so often beon violatod
by influential leaders of tho Renubli-
cttn parly of Pennsylvania, that that
organisation has become Republican
only in namo. Tho vital spark bas
fled, and tbo controlling element of
inul which remains is a putrid corpse.
BECAUSE
Garfield, after remaining in tho Union
army long enough to bo of a little
sorvico to tbo causo ho espoused, aban
doned tho army lor tho purposo of tak
ing a scat in congress, at a time and
under cirenmstancos similar to those
of which President Hayes declared,
"that any Union officer who pursued
such a courso deserves to be scalped."
BECAUSE
Tho free trade rocord Garfield mado
during his fourteen years sorvico in
Congress, from 18C3 to 1877, was so
notoriously hostilo to tbo industrial in
terests of Pennsylvania, that when
Garfield was mado tho Republican
caucus nominee for Speaker of tbo
Houso of Representatives, soon after
tho inauguration ot President Hayes,
at a timo when Garfield could not even
be elected, five Protectionist members
of Congress from this Slnto refused to
voto lor (jurheld on tho mound that
bis tariff rocord could not bo satisfac

tectionists. BECAUSE
Tbo glitter of Garfield's life has no
solid und sterling basis. He is a pinch
beck boalman, a pinchbeck teacher, a
pinchbeck preacher, a pinebbock far
mer, a pinchbock lawyer, a pinchbeck
soldier, a pinchbeck statesman, and it
ho should unfortunately be successltil
in tbo present canvass he would bo a

BECAUSE
Whilo General Garfield has been de

publican associates in Congress, by
many ol bis Republican constituents,
by many of tho Republican journals of

of all sections and parties, and

Tbo City Councils of Philadelphia, by
tho unanimous action ol all the Repub

The great sorvico General Hancock
rendered to the people of Pennsylva

was lully realized by tho brave troops
wbo del'endod the Union lino, and tbey

the glorious victory was achieved, and
on tho scoond day had again stnppod

It is so seldom tbat tbo editor
of tho New York Jeriild bits any
thing to say favorable to tbo Demo
cratic purty that we are not often
able to quoto from its columns ; but in
alluding to tho great meeting held in
Now York City recently, bo mado
the following truthful business remarks:
The speeches last night were natur
ally in praiBo ol tho Democratic par
ly, but lltoy contain some points which
are worthy ot general attention. Mr.
Belmont reminded iow lork and the
country thnt while Socrctary Shorman
has shown great ability in tbo rclumf.
ing of the debt at a lower ra to of in
terest this important financial opera
tion was bcgHn only after tho Demo
crats gained control of tho Houso and
had ils greatest success after they pos
sessed a working majority in both
Houses. Capital, neither hero nor in
Europe, said Mr. Belmont, Booms to
havo beon alarmed at tho Democratic
ascendancy, nnd tho attempt of tbo
Republicans to create a public alarm
now, ho thought, was willtout basis.
Undoubtedly ho is right. No parly
coming into power is going to destroy
itself by measures injurious to the
credit or honor ot the Nation. That
is rather to be expected of a party
demoralizod by too long possession of
power and already to bid too high or
stoop too low for continued support.
Tho Democrats, if they should elect
(ienerul Hancock, would make it thoir
first aim by careful good behavior to
conciliate tho confidonco of tho public,
in order that thoir predominance
should not bo short lived. They would
bo conscious tbat oven a moderate
amount ot misconduct would send them
hack into a very hopeless minority.

that llio Democrats in those days used
tho samo arguments against the Ko-
publicans which these, after twenty
years of power, now use against their
opponents. In thoso ante-war times
we used to road in all tbo Democratic

tho country it tbo ilopublicans were
allowed to carry an oloction. But tho
just and truo reply of tho Republicans
was that any parly yoked with tbo

HOBBIXO DEAD SOLDIERS.
The recent discovery of an old and
most izhastly system ot larceny prac
ticed lor yjars on tbo property and
effects of dead Union soldiers, kept in
a Govornmcnt sal'o in the Treasury
building at Washington, shows how
important it is that tho records and
archives ol tho publio service should
bo thoroughly overhauled under the
supervissrSsa ol a Democratic adminis
tration. Tboso thefts were penetrated
in tho chief clerk s room ol the second
Auditor of tho Treasury, from which
pocketbooks and packages cf valua
bles sont thither by those wbo found
ihcm on the persons of Union joldiers
slain in battle at Gettysburg, Antio-
tam and Bull s Run were taken and
emptied of their contents. It it diffl
cult to conceive of a viler or mora re
pulsive form of villainy, and yet from
Iho statements ot Secretary Sherman
and his subordinates it appears tbat
these robberies wore long a;ro k now n to
have occurred, but tho scandal was
"hushed up" not only until tho wretch
ed crenttire who had thus spoiled Iho

tained in office bad died, but until
Auditor French, who knew all tho
circumstances, bad died also. During
the present Presidential campaign
much bas been said, not alono by Re

There is an interesting incident
mentioned in the lifo of Chas. Wesley,
which led to the writing ot ono of bis
Hwcet hymns.
One day Mr. Wesley wus silting by
an open window, looking out over the
beatilifial fields in Summer time. Pros
enlly a little bird flitting about in tho
sunshine attracted bis attention. Just
then a hawk came swooping down to
ward tbo little bird. Tho poor thing
very much frightened was darting
here and there, trying lo find some
place of rolugo. In tho bright, tunny
air, In the leafy trees, or tho green
fields, there was no hiding place from
tho fierce grasp of the hawk. But,
seeing the open window, and tho man
sitting by it, the bird flow in its terror
toward it, and with a beating heart
and quivering wing, found refuge in
Mr. Wosloy't bosom. Ho sheltered it
from llio threatening danger, and sav
ed it from a cruel death. Mr. Wesley
was at tho timo suffering severe trials,
and was fooling the need of a refuge
in hit own timo of trouble as much as
the trembling little bird did, that nes
tled in hi bosom. So he took up his
pen and wrote tho hymn :
"Jeaei, Savioarof my eoitl,
Let m. tv Thy bneom fly.
Whil. tbe wave, oftraable roil,
While the Itiapeat etili ia high."

Colonel F. A. Conk ling, brother ol'
Senator Roscoo Conkling, addressed a
largo and enthusiastic meeting of Dem
ocrats and independent Republicans on
Mondny evening last in Now York,
and among other things said :
"Who bavo taken tbe places ol Sum
ner, Chase, 'Trumbull, Seward, and
other loaders', Tbo Logans, the Cain,
ornns, tho Garfields and tho Colfaxo.
From tbe time tboso men bavo assu ro
od tho control of tho party it has beon
held together by tho oohosive powor
ol'plundor. And now I would liko to
ask what tbat Ikpt-Wkar, jarty
bos done. Tbo party has put forward
a man whoso character will not hour
scrutiny. They havo mado an odious,
malignant aeetiuiialismtbuchiel feature
ol the canvass. This man Garfield
has been put forward as representing
tho principles of that parly. Now I
tell you ho stands before the American
people as a liar, a perjurer, a bribe
laker, a back-salary grubber, and, last
but not least, as tbo most conspicuous
figure in tho electoral fraud of 1870.
Now, of courso you and I understand
that the men who havo put Garliold
forward must necessarily support him,
iiml if their consciences will permit
them lo do so I find no fault with
them. But 1 do obiect to one lliinir.
1 do object to Iho Ron. Hamilton Fish
declaring that 'no purer or abler man
ever assisted in tho councils ol tho
Nation. No bettor man can be found.'
Now, wo do not expect that men liko
Hamilton Fish ana George William
Curtis shall throw dust in the eyes of
tho American pooplo like that."
Tho speaker said he thought it
proper to read Thomas Jefferson's ad
dress, and he quoted at length from it,
and added, "I may say that there ts
no man that has lived in this country
who lives to up that creed hotter than
Gen. Hancock." Whon bo was asked to
support the nomination of Genoral
Ilancock lie said he held back, having
thoughts of West Point nnd of milita
ry men wbo bad no experience in civil
offuirs, but after ho bad read Goneral
Ilancock s letters it seemed no exagger
ation to'suy thnt no man who has figur
ed in the affairs of this coujilry better
appreciates tbe spirit of our institu
tions than General UancockT- !'l have
referred," he continued, "to the dilem
ma in which tho Republicans rrVo plac

something just now about Hamilton
1'isli. iSow, it any gentleman should
happen to hear of my brother speak
ing of Mr. Garfield in that way be
would oblige mo by dropping me a
postal card." Cheers and luughler.
One of tho important circumstances
of this campaign, be thought, is that
so many Republicans have come out in
tho support of General H uncock.
"There is no need of giving names." bo
said "You know many ol them.
There are about threo hundred ol
them where I just catno from. They
asked mo to como here and speak.
They uro against tho narrow, odious

Uo has been a decided supporter to

Uo voted for tho ten per cent, reduc

measure which was opposed by all true
friends of American industries. Gen.
Garliold has boon dazed by tho glam
our of Frco Trade and tho fanciful
honor of being elocted a member of
tho Cobden Club. Ho bas been ready
to sacrifico your intorests for the sako
of winning applause, or possibly more
substantial rewards for competing
British manufacturers. So far was
this subserviency to foreign intorests
carried during fourteen years on Con

was selected, in 1877, as tbe caucus
nomineo of tike Republican party tor
the Speakership of tho Houso of Rep
