Don't fail to road that sermon on
our fourth page, and the career of an
outlaw on our first page. It is all his
tory repeating itself. Help to cure it.
The murder and bribery cases wo
give this wcok on our first and fourth
pages are not sensational, but are facts
against society which should bo looked
aftor. .
The Color Line Broken. We
notice that ex-l'nitod Statos Senator
Kevels, of Mississippi, has been chosen
Presiding Eldor of the Jackson district
by the whito Methodist Conference of
that Stato.
A Bold Stroke. Radical Chair
man Cessna has launchod a now boat
on the liedtord-Somerset canal with
himself as Captain, steorsman, crow
and driver, and the craft is beaded for
the Bench of that Judicial District.
Joha Cessna as a Judge! Think of it!
A Practical Case "The Story of
An Outlaw," on our first page, should
be read by all men and women. It
shows bow young men aro liable to
drill out of the path of rectitudo, be
cause of not receiving correct parental
advico.
A Gooo Skookbtion. The Salt Lako
Tribune suggests that the Mormons
should considor the proposition to pur
chase tho Sandwich Islands. It would
requiro only seven years tithing to
foot tho bill of 7,000,000, and they
would havo a kingdom all to them
selves. We say go I
Move Slow. We notice that a Plym
outh Bock clergyman, named Yatos,
calls upon Henry Ward Beechor to do
fend Protestantism and religion, and
flail the Pope and Bob Ingorsoll. The
aforesaid had better advise Henry to
quit playing blind-man's-buff with the
femalo members of bis congregation.
Read It! We havoembcliahed ojir
fourth page partly with a sermon de
livered by that celebrated Brooklyn
clorgyman (not Beocher), Talmago,
who a few Sundays ago declaimed
against bribory. Boader, peruse the
sermon, and you can gather all the
facts in the case necessary for whole
some meditation.
Ham and Pulp. Tho New York
Sun owns np and tallies as follows:
"As to New York, Lapham is Lap
bam, and Millor is Wood Palp from
Horkimcr. They will both appear at
Washington plastered with the muck
ot Albany. It will scorn like a sad
chango to Mr. Cameron when his sub
dued eye wanders over the scabs of
New York and encounters Lapbam
and Pulp where men were wont to bo."
A Black Eve. The Dauphin county
Court has given the Legislative salary
grabbers a sovero blow. Undor the
ruling of the Court those mombors who
got away with the extra (500 plunder
most make restoration, ftcador: The
gross mismanagement of publio affairs
at the Fedoral and Stato Capitols
mould be proof enough to ovory sensi
ble man that a change of party man
agement would improve the morals
and the prosperity of the country.
Look at it I
Deathbed Repentance. Tho Now
York Timet, one of the stalwart or
gana of Radicalism, in alluding to car
rent events in its issue of July 24th,
ays : "Let us have a Republican party
once more, which, like the real 'old'
party, was an organization of free and
sincere men and not a degraded machine
manipulated by a lot of hungry and
unprincipled hacks, whose dovotion to
the party was measured by the depth
to which they could thrust thoir arms
in tbo publio purso." It is too lute.
Salary grabs, Credit Mobilier, Star
routes, the 8 by 7 job, and a thousand
other personal jobs aro.all in tho way.
"The Government machine," as "tho
late lamented" Lincoln termed it, must
be put into other hands for safety.
A Rascally CnARGE. In criticis
ing the judicial career of the late Judge
Clifford, tho Republican papors char
acterise him as "purely a political
Judge." This comes with a bad grace
from the representatives of a party
that, since its advent to power, bas
lost no opportunity to pack the Su
preme Court with ultra partisans.
Judge Strong and Bradley were put
on the bench not only to decide an im
pending financial qii?;tion, but, as flieir
subsequent conduct proved, for politi
cal ends. It is unblushing Impudence
to call Mr. Justice Clifford "purely a
political J udge," alter the action of the
Republican J udgos in assisting to rhoat
Hayes into the Presidency. Tho ap
pointment of Stanley Matthews was
ticiously partisan. Men who are not
decent should not reproach their neigh
bor! who do net exoel them in lolly
and crime.
GENERAL rEMBERTON.
Gemiral John C. I'eniberton died at
Pcnllyn, near I'biladi'lpbia, on the 27tb
alt., without pain. General Pomber
ton huh born in this Suite in August,
1814, graduated at Went Point, and
became Second Lieutenant ol artillery
July, 1837. Ho cerve.1 In Florida
nguiiinl the Seminoles, and was in the
Mexican war serving on the stuff of
General Worth, and gaining tbo bre
vets of Captain and Major for gallant
ry at Montorey and Molino dol Rey.
Ho afterwards served on the North
ern and Woslorn frontiers, until April
1801, when be rosignod, being at
that time Captain of artillery. Ks-
pousing the Confederate causo, ho was
appointed a Colonel of cavalry and at
tached to the staff of Gonerul Joseph
E. Johnston. He rose to tho rank of
Lieutenant Goneral, and in 1803 com
manded In Mississippi, where ho was
defeated May ICth, at Champion Hills,
and at Big Black, May 17th. Falling
back on Yicksburg be dolendcd that
place against Federal assaults, but be
ing besieged was compelled to snrrcn
der the city and garrison July 4, 1803.
Goneral Pemborton was much censur
ed for permitting himself to bo bosuig
ed In Vicksburg, but it is known ho
retained the confidence of President
Davis, who afterwards bad him mado
inspector of artillery. At the close ol
tbo war he settled near Warronlon,
Fauquier county, Va., where be de
voted himself to agricultural pursuits.
Mori "Wab Records" I'ncovebed.
Publication of tho late Secretary
Stanton's extraordinary telegrams to
arrest Greeley draws from the Chicago
Tribune some reminiscences that servo
to show tho animus Of the affair. Ac
cording to this statement it was Stan
ton who contributed the memorable
"On to Richmond" articles, which
hastened tho battle of Bull Run before
the military preparations wore sulfi
oiontly matured, Groeley was do
nouncod all over tho country for tho
articles, though he never saw thom un
til they appeared In the editorial col
umns. Charlos A. Dana was tho
managing editor and bad really receiv
ed carto blanche from tho stockholders,
who woro dissatisfied with Grooley's
peace policy, to conduct the paper.
When the reaction came these meddle
some marplots forced Dana's rotiro
menu lie was proffered a position in
tho War Department in 1802, when
Stanton was mado Secretary ,and thence
promoted to be Assistant Secretary.
Dana was no friond to Greoley, who
had weakly yielded to tbo men that
he habitually alluded to as blockheads,
and it may be taken for granted that
Greeley bad no love for Stanton or his
assistant. From this mutual antneon-
iam Stanton's mind must havo tmkeu
the extraordinary color revealed in bis
tolcgrams to Piorropont. That his
mind was in a sano stato seems incon
ceivable lrom such testimony, and that
his death came from bis own band,
which bas long boon suspocted, theso
revelations of his unbalanced reason
seem to leave no doubt.
Tut New York Case. The editor
of the Philadelphia Times, in alluding
to the Sonatonal contost in the State in
dicated, says : A man like Lapham is
a poor substitute for Roscoe Conkling,
Ho is one of the old whool-borscs, a
survivor of tho period when Elbridge
Gerry was a famous name, who has
never risen above respoctablo modioo
rity, and in three terms of Congres
sional service bas not made himself In
any way conspicuous. He will nover
be a boss, but on the other hand he
will never disturb tho party with any
new-fangled notions of tho dignity of
politics or the responsibility of pub
lio service. Ho is a man of largor
knowlodgo and experience than Millor
and has not, so far aa known, proatitu
ted his office to personal ends ; but ex
cept in this negative way ho is lament
ably unfittod to represent Now York
in the Senate of the United Slates
Yet so degrading has boon tho influence
of Conkling's despotic rule upon bis
party that the election of Millor and
Lapham must be accepted as at best a
relief from something worse. While
Miller and Lapham are an outcome of
the boss system, their election pro
claims its overthrow, and it may be
that out of the chaos thoro will arise
now mon and new ideas to lead the
party and tho State to a higher plane
of political thought and action.
Carrying Deadly WiArom.-Mayor
King, of Philadelphia, bas issued bis
proclamation against carrying conceal
ed deadly weapons. In it be says
"whosoever carries concealed deadly
weapons carries also tho concealed
thought of murdor. The class who go
ready armed to answor a word with a
doath-sbot must now be taught an abid
ing lesson of obedience to the suprem
acy of law, and a proper rospoct for
thorightsand personal safoty of others.
To go armod in a groat city, whore
the officers of the law are constantly
within call, is a standing monaco by
tho criminal and tboughtloss class
against tbe peace and order of society
which shall no longer be toloratod."
These sentiments will bo approved by
every right minded citiron.
A Jtomin Discount. The members
of our Legislature who fooled away
two months in trying to electa states
man United States Senator, are now
In turn fooled. Each memborexpeotod
to get away with 1,500, five hundred
of which tho State Treasurer refused
to pay because be thought it was "a
salary grab." The members took their
case bofore the Court at Harrisburg,
and that Court has vetoed the sum ot
(500 for each member. This may bo
a little unhandy for the membor who
was indiscrete enough to spend 11,500
during the session, but it's a good
thing for the Treasury $125,000 saved.
The opinion of tbe Court will be lound
id another place in thii issue.
One IZoui'i Less in tiii House.
W notice that Warner Miller.of paper-
pulp (25 per cent.) notoriety, and one
of the recently elected United States
Senators from Now York, has resigned
as a Congressman, and be bas notified
the Govornor of that Stato of the fact.
Uorcaflcr be will look after his "pulp"
business In the Senate instead of the
Uouso, whore he had to button hole so
many people in order to keep the 25 por
cent, on bis pulp, out of which Bibles,
newspapers and Sunday school books
are manufactured. What a grinder
that Millor it I lie hat no more con
science than a buEx-saw.
SENA TO HI AT, DECLENSION.
A contemporary, in speaking of the
hiss of ability in the United States
.Somite within tbo past two years in
the Northern section of the 1'ulon,
status that the loss of such men as
Blaiui',('urpeiiter,Coiikling,etc.,aiidtbi
substitutes thut have been furnished, is
a burd stroko on the Itudical adminis
trotion party ; and il tho run continues
tho country will be disgraced. More :
Tho Democratic party bas also lost
heavily. When such won as Tbur
man, Wallace, Eaton, McDonald, etc.,
aro relegated out, und the men that
succeed thorn are canvassed and com
pared, we, as an biimblo citlxun, feel
disgraced. It looks as though Iho
wholo country was drifting in tho lino
of destruction. Tbo loss to tho North
ern section of tbo Union, has been too
sovero to bo safo. As a body, tho
Senato has fallen from its former high
estate, and no longor enjoys tho confi
dence that tho country once reposed
in it. Tho purchase of seats, almost
in opon market, by rich aspirants for
politic ul funio ; the constant accession
of the agents, attorneys, or creatures
of great corporations ; and the pros-
oncoof notorious jobbers In legislation,
havo contributed to a decline, which is
gotting worse Instead of better.
Border Sport. Cii icaio,J uly 2!.
A dispatch lrom tho Maple Springs
camp, r.uolairo county, isvonsin.eays:
New lifo has been infused into the
pursuit of tho Williams brothers by
the arrival of eight Indian scouts with
thirty blood-hounds, employed out
West by the United Suites Govern
ment. Tbo scouts are beaded by
Buffalo Charlie and Yellowstone Hol
lo. With theso names the public
were made familiar during Cuslor's
and Miles campaigns in 1876 and 1877
Bufl'ulo Charlie's paronlB, brothers and
sisters wore killed by tho Indians over
six years ago, since which time ho has
given bis wholo heart to the work of
tracking redskins and fugitives from
justice generally. The trail of the
outlaws will be taken up in tho vicin
ity of Doolittlo's camp, and tho scouts
will go ahead with tbe entire pack of
bloodhounds, making such a hunt as
was never witnessed in tbo big woods
Dotore.
Tn Loyal Wriuoi.ebs. The lio
publican State convention is to assem-
blo at Iliirrisburg on tho Rth day of
Moptomuor next, senator Davis, of
Bradford county, is to be nominatod
for Stato Treasurer. Ho played "in-
duliolidelil" last Winter and l'ulusod to
vote for Oliver or General Beaver for
United Stales Sonator, and adhered
closely to Grow, until an opportunity
offered to serve Cameron diroctly by
supporting Mitchell. Ho Was all the
timo a spy in tho Grow camp (it is
charged) and be is now to be reward
ed tor his trenchory by a nomination
for State Treasurer.
The Republican masses have no in
fluence over their conventions and
havo nothing to sy in tho matter.
Cameron dictates their nominations to
them and tho kindly masses become
useful only as voters to elect tbo man
selected for them by thoir dictator.
Clinton Democrat.
A Lono Seioe. Tho Now York
Legislature, after succeeding in elect
ing Lapham to the Senate, adjourned
sine die, after a continuous session of
nearly six months. Wbon tho mem
bers entered the Assembly chamboron
tbe last day of the session, they found
tbe walls adorned with handsomely
docoratod and splendidly executed pla
cards, reading i "For President in 1884
Winfiold Scott Hancock." Thore
seemed to be a significance in the in
scription that looked ominous to tho
Republicans.
QmiK True. Tho Albany Argus
says: "A fatality and an unvarying
one bas lollowed every departure from
Democratic support of Demoo rats alone
for United States Senators. It can be
seon by all but novices that Demo
cratic union on principles, that affirm
ative Democracy assures Democratic
triumph, and that Domocratio invest
ments in Ropublicnn ruptures enhance
tbe scandals and not the success of
party politics," "Principles not men"
baa boon our motto ever einco we be
came a voter.
Five Hundred Shout. We notice
that Judges Pearson and Henderson
the other day rendered a decision
to tho effect that the Act passed
by the Legislature last Winter allow
ipg each momber 1500 extra pay
was unconstitutional and that the
State Treasurer should pot pay it.
The 1,000 salary tbo Court says is all
right, but tho 1500 grab is all wrong, or
words to that effect. The members of
the Legislature will, of course, take
tbo case to the Supreme Court lor final
solllemont.
Artesian Wells. We notlco that
the Commissioner of Agriculture is
about to appoint a commission to ex
amine tbo regions of the Wost with a
viow to dotormir.o tho advisability of
sinking artosian wells. If e has rocoiv
ed valuable information on the subject
from Director Gonerul Powell, of the
Government Surveys. The officer
question had bottor move slow. As
tboro are millions ol acres of land un
occupied where thoro ia lots and springs
of wator. llenoe no am-ta expense need
be entailed.
WnT Should Tiiey f No mar. or
woman can do satisfactory work when
the brain it dull, tho nerves unsteady,

merchants, clorgymon, doctors, me-

drag through their work in this con
dition, when a small amount of Park
er's Ginger Tonic will always, at mod
erate cost, clear tbe brain and give

have felt its strengthening and brao

highly. Soe other column. 8 3-41.
Dead. Col. John C. Burch, Secre
tary of the United States Sontto, died
in Washington on Thursday, the 28th
ultimo. His death at this time creates
a vacancy of an unusual chnracter,
Farty lines In thut body are very
closo, and Scnntors cannot draw thoir
salaries until there Is a Secretnry, and
It is not likoly that thoy will -quarrel
very long over the selection of tho
officer who must sign the warrants
for their pay.
Leoal Scoundrels. We learn from
our Philadelphia exchangos that on the
20th of July, William R. Dickorson
and Voel Yanarsdalon, two lawyers,
were convicted of forging the will til
Robert Whitaker, by which it was pro
posed to aivert in estate valued at
1300,000 to thoir own ends. Unfoneo
deferred. We hope the Court will treat
those lawyers with lb severest penal

By the Court; The pleadings in this
cuso riiisu a ainilo iiuestion. Is the
plaintiff as a member of tho Legisla
ture of Pennsylvania, entitled to re
ceive out of tho Treasury ot the Stale
tho sum of five hundred dollars in ad
dition to tho salary, mileage, etc., al
ready paid bim for his services during
tho session of 1881 F That depends
on tho constitutionality of the first sec
tion of tho act of tho 1 1 lb of May,
1874, making compensation to the
members of the Goneral Assembly in
theso words: "That the compensation
of members of tho Genoral Assembly
shall be one thousand dollars for each
regular and each adjourned annual
Bossion, not exceoding one hundred
days; and ton dollars per diem fur
time necessarily spent alter tho expi
ration ol the hundred days: Provided,
however, that such timo shall not ex
ceed fifty days at any ono session. "
Mileago is also provided for, and also
adjourned or special sessions at the
samo rate per day. It is concedod
that the session ot the Legislature of
which tbo plaintiff was a member in
attendance, continued for ono hundred
and fifty-eight days, terminating on
the Dth day of J line, 1S81.
Tho provision of tho Constitution
under which this law was enacted is
in those words as found in section
eight of tho second arliclo : "Tho mem
bers of tho General Assembly shall re
ceive such salary and mileage for reg
ular and special sessions as shall bo
fixed by law, and no other compensa
tion whatever, whether for service
upon committee or otherwise. No
member ot either House shall, during
tho term for which ho may huve been
elected, receive any increase of salary
or mileage under any law passed dur
ing such term."
One main question to be determined
is what was meant by tbo words "sal
ary as shall be fixed by law T" Was
it intended to giro a salary as gener
ally known and understood, or por
diem compensation f or was it in
tended to give both, a salary and daily
pay? Was it to lie u rlxod lumped
sum during one hundred days and
compensation at the same rate per
diem fur tbo noxt fifty days, or not ex
ceeding that timo ?
In construing a Constitution oourts
are perhaps not bound down to tho
form of words used as in a privuto ar
ticle of agreement, or even an act of
Assoiubly. It is a lorm of government;
must bo cxpoundod liberally to effect
tbo general object; must be studied in
tbe light of ordinary languago and the
construction placed upon it by the peo
ple 4 P. K. Smith, 200, 201. H Sergt
k Rawlc, OH. A Constitution is made
not particularly for the inspection
ot lawyers, but for the million, that
they may jndge of their lights and du
ties. Words uro not to he used in their
tochninul sense, but aro to havo their
plain, popular mid natural meaning.
The Stato is only bound by their nat
ural meaning. Gibson, Ch. J., fi W.
& Sorgt., 114. Now what is the plain
and natural meaning of tho word ' sal
ary?" It is a word with which the
world tho mass ot the people have
become very familiar. Vo need not
look into dictionaries to study its mean
ing. Not even into law dictionaries
to seo how it hs been belli by the
legal profession. It gives us but little
light to know that the word was de
rived from the word "salt" a neces
sary of life, in which tho wuges ol the
Itoman soldier was paid ; or from
"sala," a hall, or tho rent of a hall or
"sala. How is it understood by tho
mass of the people In this country at
tbe present r by the Knirhsh speak
ing pooplo of the United States in the
latter part of the nineteenth century 1
n obstor doflnos it to be the recom
pense, or consideration stipulated to
pe paid to a person lor services, usual
ly a fixed Bum by tho year, or for a
shorter period. Richardson defines it
in nearly the samo languago : Services
done at certain times or periods.
"Wages" usually applied to servants;
salaries to su penors. v orocster savs :
"An annual or periodical payment for
services a siipuiaiea periodical rec
ompense." tomiin in his dictionary defines it.
"A recompenso, a consideration mado
to a person lor Ins pains or industry in
anothor man's businoss." Bunnell, L.
D., "An annual compensation for serv
ices rendered, a fined sum to be paid
by tho year." Bouvier, L. D., says,
"A reward or recompense for services
performed, It is usually oppliod to
tho reward paid to publio officers for
tho performance of official duties.
11 wo wish to arrive at what was
aotoally moant by the framors of our
present Constitution by the section
citod, wo can gain mnch information
by looking Into tho registry of thoir
proceedings. In voluno I. page 50!
wo find tho section introduced by a
committee substantially as adopted,
This was voted as an amendment to
ono in different language All of tho
arguments show that the object was
to have a fixod salary for tho session,
An effort was mado to amend by
striking out "salary" and Inserting
"compensation." This was rejected on
tho ground that a fixed salary for tho
session was desirable and intended.
Again, when the matter was brought
up as finally inserted, tho proposition
to substantiate "compensation, as in
tho former Constitulians of 1730 and
that of 1838, was proposed, it was
again rejected by a voto of tbe conven
tion. See vol. 7, pago 313. This was
not the mere reasoning of a few mom
bors, but the solemn voto of tho body.
The reason given was that daily pay
prolonged tbo sessions,
A legitimate source of reasoning is
found in the change from the lormer
language and tho inconvenience felt
undor it in paying by tho day to tho
salary as adopted. The Legislature
of 1874 uppear in enacting the statute
to havo gut as far as possible from the
language of tbo Constitution, in using
tho word "compensation" instead of
"salary," and not only fixing a cer
tain sum ol (1,000 tor tho hundred
days, but also a por diem allowance
for the residuo of the time spent.
There was cortainly no authority to
fix on two distinct modes of payment
under the clause in the Constitution.
We aro well aware of the fact that the
Constitution, as framed, is of no avail
until voted on by the pooplo and they
may viow it in one sense whilst those
who lramc it intendod it in anothor,
but thoro it nq roiBon to suppose that
the samo words were intended differ
ently, and to roach tho true intent of
tbe instrument is to adhere to the
words as noarly as practicable, unless
it should causo great inconvenience, or
introduce an Ibsurdily. We must not
be too literal in our construction, lest
we conflict with the maxim, 9111 haeret
in tittcra haeret in cortice, but in tho
present caso we consider the latter the
wisest course, and least likely to load
to evil or inoonvenienoo. In oonstru
ing a Constitution wo may, with pro.
priety, look into a former instrument
of the same goneral character to soe
the changes made, and from them
judgo of what was intended, in
doubtful cases we may with propriety
examine tbe debates to tea what waa
actually intended, and Into tho history
of what led to the alteration. The
people look into the wordt used to eol
ect tbe moaning. 13 Michigan, 147,
8. to 100. Tbe different modes of
compensating was considered in Tnrli-
ana. "it may he bos to sheriffs and
cerluin officers. Wuges to laborers ;
salaries to certain other olllcers, 01
persons in otlior situations. 10 Jndi
ana 85-0. Again in 12 Ohio Slate It.,
p. 017-18 ''Salary," compensation lo
an olllier for a fixed time, or it may
he tho limool'sorvicooramoiiutthereof
rendered. All of those cases draw tho
distinction between fees, wages and
salary, row persons woum in tha
present ago confound tho three as all
meaning the same thing, yet thoy
might all come under the word "com
vernation" as used by tbe Legislature,
but could not by any possibility under
tuo word "salary as usod by tho con
vention, which carefully avoided and
rejected Iho word "compensation." It
follows, as we conceive, that so much
of the act of 1871, as fixes a salary for
tho session of the Legislature is consti
tutional; that which gives per diem
compensation in addition ia unconsti
tutional. The Legislature might havo
declared that the session should not
exceed ono hundred and fifty days,
but tho salary must bo fixed, and
whethor the session lastod twenty days
or one hundred and fifty, tbe salary
must be paid. The time and amount
wero both discretionary, but it could
not bo sulury and daily pay also, on a
sliding scale, a mluiyalono was pro
vided for in tbo Constitution. If that
had not boon declared, tho Lciisluluro
would have had an unlimited mode of
payment, as under tho lormer Consti
tutions, by tho woril "compensation."
By tho chango of languago it is very
n,nn;r,.ut - .i:tr. . .1 1
iiMMuini, iuu, t uoieruiii iiiuiuoti ul
payment was uitonded, and the object
of the change was clearly to avoid a
prolongation of the session, or any
temptation tloyi'to.
A question has been raised as to
whether the courts can declare uu Act
of Assembly voidin part as violated by
thu Constitution, ami valid tor tbo rest
duo. Of'thal power we have no doubt.
Homo provisions' muy be good, others
had, valid under 1111110 statu of facts, an
violul vo of the right ot individuals,
good tpainst others differently situated.
This act ot 1871 is constitutional so
far ai it gives a fixed sum for the sea
sion whether by the name of "salary"
ur uj nuoiiicr name out 11 cuniioi;
give both iho compensation by the
Hcssun, and by tho day, or by the day
alono. We aro well aware ot the legal
primiplo that the Legislature can do
ovory thing consistent with our goneral
fran oof government not prohibited by

must be liberally construod, whilst tho

can do nothing but what is authorized

We are all well aware that it is only
in a clear caso that tho Courts can de
clare an Act of Assembly unconstitu

pudiated and lamented having given.
Tho majority of the Court differed
with him entirely. We aro aware that
in constitutional quoationagroal weight
is to be given to oolomporaneous con
struction by the Legislature, and that
tho statute relied on by tbe plaintiff
was ouauted in , 1K74, and bus been
practiced under ever since, as is said,
without question. It is very true that
its validity has never been judicially
questioned, but it was greatly doubled
and denied by Attorney General Lear
in a very ablo opinion presented to us,
but In some way tho controversy was
dropped and novor brought before the
judiciary, and peruais not presented
to the Stale Treasurer. It is doubled
in tho argument whether the Court
can, with propriety look into tbo de
bates ol the Convention to ascertain
tbe meaning and intention of the Con
vention, but it has been done on sev
eral occasions by the Supreme J udgos
ol tho United Stales, and by those of
our Court at an early day, and even as
lalo as one case in 9 w. N. casos 241, in
1S80. We are, therefore, clearly ol
opinion that so much of the Act of the
illhot liny, lb74, already cited
pretonds to give daily pay, in addition
to a nxedsum, to members ol tho Loir
isluture, is unconstitutional and void.
It would bo unlawful for the State
Treasurer to pay it ; this Court cannot
enlorco payment by mandamus, and
tbo samo must be refused. We leave
out ol viow every question of policy or
expediency. Those are questions for
the Legislature alone, over which the
judiciary bas no control, and no right
or disposition to pass judgment.

AN INTERVIEW WITH THE
STATE CHAIRMAN.
A VERY IIOI'tri L VIEW.
Tho editor of the Union Leader
hilo at Lewishurg attending the
commencement exercises 01 the Uni
versity, met Hon. A. II. Dill, chair
man ol tbe Ucmocrulio Stato Commit.
ee. lio found the cenial ex Sonator
In the best of spirits, and when the
opportunity offered, ho tnlkod with
him about the political situation, and
obtained his views which will be found
of interest.
"Mr. Dill, about what time do von
expect to call the Slate convontion ?"
was asked.
"1 have heard no conoral expression
of opinion as to fixing a time for hold
ing the Stato convention. I intend
calling tl)0 committee together in a
short time to fix the date. 11 y own
opinion is that il will be impossible to
attract the attention of tbe people to
the canvass until we are nearer to tho
day of election."
"What, in your opinion, are the
chances for electing a Democrat for
Treasurer this year f"
"In tho present condition of the lie
publican orgnniiation in the State the
nomination of a Democrat of known
integrity and capacity fir business
would probably result in his election."
"Whst aro your views as to the gon
eral political outlook f"
"As to the gor.eral political situation
the views of a Democrat are likely to
bo colored by his hopas and the wish
be father to tbo thought, but it is sp
paront that a mortal quarrel is raging
between the old leaders of the Repub
lican party of so great significance as
to almost equally divide the party,
and which threatens to destroy its
long continued rule. If the present
dispute simply Involved the putting up
of one man, and the putting down of
another, tho results might be simply a
change ot leadership, but the times arp
ripo for change, and the people are
restive under tbe present condition ol
public affairs. Thoro is a resemblance
to the political situation when Douglas
broke with bis party. Tbo question
is different but not the less interesting
and vital to the whole body of the1
peoplo. Conkling breaks with his
party when the pooplo are becoming
justly alarmed at the consolidation of
uuiuiumi Kim corporate power in me
hands of the few. It may be that
mere personal consideration Induced
the f.tei, but he is sagacious enough to
know that that thu battle mil not end
with his defeat at Albany. Huirrroor
not be bas struck the key ti'td of the
next groat political umh tliu power
I of the 0 onlu auaiiisl co;.s-.:i lated ihi
litienl und corporate power. It i this!
j condition ol public affairs Inch bIkmiI.I ;
give success to tho lienmciaiic puny.!
It waa organized to usurl thu power i
and dignity of the individual citir.iMi
against i-omliined oorporulo und.polit
n al power. The aggregation of power,
political and corporate which has ( ill
mina'ed in the union of the political
dictator with tho corporate millionaire,
hjs been accomplished only by tho
continued and succossivo defeats of the
Domocratio party. Let tho party
assort its fundamental doctrines,
strongly and manfully, that the people
may lielievo Its declaration is not
merely profession, but tho evidonce of
a sincere purposo to be accomplished
in tbo oxerciso of political power, and
tbe result onght not to bo doubtful."
"But tbe President and his party de
clare thomsolvos to be Reformers ? "
"Tho presont administration, it is
true, is sometimes called a reform ad
ministration by it friends, nnd Garfield
a reform President, but names are
nothing. The antecedents of the
President aro not assuring in this re
spout, and the proceeding iu tho Treas
ury investigation which is slopped
when it soomcd to be reaching those
in high places, the rumored check giv
en tbo Star Route investigation im
puted diroctly to tho highest official
nilliieneo and the developments ol
bribery and corruption at Albany.
show that all professions ot reform
trom that quarter are the mere hollow
protostulions of politicians."
"Then you think the future hioks
bright fin- the Demoi ralic party ? "
"If tho party bo equal to her oppor
tunity, it can nikkii a live issuo, which
needs only to bo formulated and dis
cussed to gain tho ear and tho voto of
the people. If our parly fail to do it.
il will be dono nevertheless by some
oilier party or some new organisation

FOR STATE TREASURER.
lion, u ran go rioiiie, 01 l.ne, was
the unanimous choice of the Warren
county Pcmocrats lust Monday, and
thoy pul that preference in the form
of a resolution. This must be gratify
ing to Air. is obio and to his triends.
This paper has great respect for 11. B.
I'lumcr, of Venango, who is in tho
field lor the same office, and who has
received the endorsement of his own
county. We havo met Mr. Plumer,
and he has the bearing of a gentleman,
and a man of brains ; hut publio senti
ment runs in this section toward Mr.
Equalities as well as those of businoss
i.u.n n.T. II1WI llin IIOUIO
lio knows how to look aftor matters
of his own. His deeds of generosity
and breadth of mind aro known and
recognized all through the oil region,
and everywhere he is known. It seem
od to uV and to all, that Hon. Orange
Noble would command a largor vote
oeioro tno peoplo than any candidate
from any part of tho Stuto. Warren
county does not support him entirely
out of compliment. We desire tbo can
didate shall he elected, and we all sup.
ported Mr. Noble with a view of mak.
ing not only bis nomination, hut his
election sure. Tho delegates scorned
to have boon imbued alike with the
idea that his nomination was equiva
lent to an eloction. Mr. Plumer has
strong personal friends in Warren
county, somo of whom were in the
Convontion, but thoy doomed it best
to instruct for tho man most likoly to
command the largost vote belore the
people of the State. We bollevo thoy
did wisely. Wo cannot promiso in tho
event of his final nomination, that the
pooplo will do as well for him at tho
polls as the Democrats did in Conven
tion, via : be a unit, but be will receive
a large and a flattering vote from
Warren county. It is no disrespoct
to Harry B. Plumer, that he was
beaten by Orange Noble, of Erie, in
this county. The name of Plumer is
an honorable one in tbo Stato; but
Orange Noble commands the votes of
all parties more nourly than any other
man we know; and him we never
mot; but know him all tbe same.
