te wonder at the contortions winch our
knowledge of physical and moral
laws advises us can have hut one result.
Nobody ever did ride two horses atone
time for any considerable period without
coming te grief; and this impossible
feat is net just exactly what uie ...
Era essays. It rides the two horses, but
at different times; which is net hard te
de. But its peculiarity consists in its
steady endeavor te persuade its readers
that it never mounted but one.
As thev are net all, probably, as stupid as
owls, some of them must recognize the
deceit ; and it does seem te us that this
must distress them, if they really have
any regard for the newspaper they take
and read ; sis they are supposed te have,
Un tiier vniilfl net, have it about their
iieuses. And these who de net clearly
see the fraud must yet be bothered by the
repeated presentation of Mr. Geist en
jjagsef different shades of color at dif
ferent times while reading his calm and
solemn asseverations that he never rode
but one animal, and never faced but one
ivay.
It is fun te us te see the circus exhibi
tion the Xeic Era makes, and if the Xew
Era's readers enjoy it, tee, we wish it per
petual continuance, that it may be te us
all a never-ending joy. It does no harm
any mere, for the idiosyncrasy of the
paper is se well-established that every
wise man has learned te knew it. He
likens it te a barrel revolv
ing in the ocean billows, its
continually half-drowned rider steadily
occupied in working his head te the top
as the uneasy c:isk rolls away from him.
Leng usage has made him an exiwrt at
the job ; and hew he does grin and huz
za when he gets astride the barrel and
remains for a while in calm water, an
imaginary monarch of the seas. But
when shertlva breeze stirs ut the water
and the confounded barrel turns ever
and buries its rider in the sea, a momen
tary sympathy is felt for him in his pre
dicament, until he turns up smiling en
the ether side and commences his evolu
tions te regain his seat. And since it is
then apparently all well witli him in his
own conceit, we can afford te leek and
laugh and wait fei the next upsetting,
prepared te enjoy it with a clear con
science. The exhibition of its ruling passion se
pointedly made in its bold assault en the
district attorney, its capitulation before
a shot was fired", at theight of the jury,
and its renewed courage when the Ix
tklligexcek went in front of it and
took the scalps it hankered for, is still
frash in the public mind when the muni
cipal election comes -along and gives the
Xeic Era another fine chance te display
its special talent. A stout supporter of
Bering before the election, it damns him
afterward. " I told you se ' is the bur
then of its cry in its defeat, as it never
fails te be. In victory it would have
strutted and swelled and said, " See
what we have done by our loyalty te the
I Republican party, and our devotion te
its interests."' It is ever thus with the
Xcic Era. It never yet has been known
te have spared its claim te the honors
of success or te have refrained from
vowing that defeat came from
neglecting its counsels. It is al
ways right and always virtuous
in its own opinion. It was right, it
thinks, for it te support I Bering, who was
defeated, as it new claims, "because he
was an unworthy candidate forced upon
the party by the party lash wielded by
.selfish hands for mean purposes. It is
clear enough that with such views of the
candidate and the uses he was te sub
serve if elected, it was net the part of an
honest and sensible journal te advocate
his election. But, as we have said, the
funny thing about the Xcic Era is that
it never recognizes this simple logic and
never seems te think that anybody else
does; and se it keeps en in its amusing
gambols, calmly rolling ever whenever
it feels like it a very porpoise in the
sea.
The Examiner publishes the following
as a circular .which it pretends te believe
was sent through the Fourth ward the
night before the election by the Democ
racy :
FKimu.viiY 10.
Mr. : Bear Sir We are en the
eve of an important election. Te-morrow
shall decide whether honest Mayer Mac
Gonigle shall retain his position or whether
the corrupt enemy conquer. Yeu are a
young man and no doubt it is very imma
terial te you which way you vote. Would
you, for a consideration, help elect Mayer
MacGeniglc, say $10 ? Consider this well
and if you think it worth while, call at the
mayor's office between 8 and 9 te-morrow
morning. Keep this secret.
Yours respectfully,
Fourth Ward Democratic Committee.
Of course this is a clumsy forgery. Xe
such circular was cver printed, written
or circulated by the Democratic commit
tee of that or any ether ward ; no such
offers were cver made, directly or indi
rectly, by any branch or part of the
Democratic organization. If any such
idea had been contemplated of course no
such circular would have been issued, te
expose the nefarious business. But it is,
we repeat, a base forgery. If it was
written, printed or circulated it was done
Jjy Republicans te create prejudice
against the Democracy and injure the
party. Considering that some of the
leaders of that party have been caught
in the forgery et naturalization papers
and in the issue of bogus tax-receipts,
the forgery of such a circular as the
above would net be hesitated at for a
moment.
IIexkv 31. Ekisman did net "turn in

gates te the Democratic state convention.
E. D. Graef was ivcommeuded as a dele
gate te the national convention. The del

insane of Philadelphia, Bucks, Montgom
ery, Chester, Delaware, Northampton and
Lehigh counties was formally transferred
yesterday from the building commission,
appointed in 1878, te the beard of trustees,
te whom its management has been recent
ly confided.
Ex-Congressman Stcnger, of Pennsylva
nia, says that the feeling among the Dem
ocrats of his state is deefdedly favorable te
Tilden. He further says that, notwith
standing the stories of Tilden's methods te
secure the nomination, he thinks that
questionable methods are used by his op
ponents te defeat him.
In Norristown as Harrison Bickcl, a
private watchman en Main street, between
Swede and Dc Kalb, passed the posteffice

with two pistol shots. He opened fire en
the escaping burglars, but his pistol
would net go eQ' before lie had snapped it
three times. It was discovered that the
entrance was effected by forcing open the
rear deer. An attempt had been made te
enter through one of the windows, but the
inside shutters were tee firmly held by a
heavy iron bar. The large safe had been
rolled from its usual placp be as te screen
operations en it. and it had also been tied
with bags for the pnrpese of deadening the
sound from an explosion. A handsome
set of burglar tools was left behind.

WARNING."
"WORD or
It is Heard lu . Fair Weather as Well u Feu!.
The follewii ig editorial article from the
Daily Intell cgencek of Nev. , 1878 a
few days after Demuth'H election was
re-set yestcrday,te be published in connec
tion with an editorial reaffirmation of it,
immediately after Tuesday's election.
Other mauer crewuea it out anu we are
glad te publish it te-day, in connection
with the remarks of the Xcic Era upon
the same subject. We regret that our es
teemed contemporary did net find its
voice te re-echo our sentiments then. The
abuse was quite as rife then as new, and
the campaign fund of the Republicans in,
this city in 1878 had a great deal te de
with it. Tiie $2,000 sent by Quay te Lan
caster en the Saturday betere the elec
tions ; the orders telegraphed te a firm
here by the political agent of a great cor
poration in Philadelphia te " buy every
thing possible against Steinmetz and pay
any price," contributed te Dcmuth's elec
tion by means of the wildest corruption.
The Intelligescuh saw it in defeat ; the
Xeic Era was bedazzled with victory. But
as the Intelligence!! has the same senti
ments for fair weather and foul, it docs net
hesitate te repeat new what it said then
and te give the Xew Era's long delayed
answer te our early call. We are as ready te
begin the work of reform new as we were
then. This is what the Intelligencer
said iu 1878 :
There is no disguising the fact that year
after year elections have become agencies
of greater public demoralization. Their
frequent recurrence and the scenes and in
fluences attending them comprise a subject
well calculated te alarm the moralist no
less than te bewilder the politician. In
this city and county things have become
steadily vyersp eyer since tjjc introduction
of the Crawford county system of nomina
tions by the Republican party. That
system as new administered makes the Re
publican campaign for nominations here a
carnival of corruption and immorality for
the several months during which it is
agnd aptively, A class of bummers in
fest the' city andequnty, licsiegjng candi
dates for beer and money, and te a woeful
extent getting them. Year after year their
importunities and tlje ready yielding te
them become worse. Vetes are bought
and sold shamelessly in the market places,
and it is seldom that a candidate reaches
the goal without running very close te
financial bankruptcy and utter demoraliza demeraliza
j luii. We have the authority of one of the
most active politicians hi j he last Repub
lican campaign in this county for the 'cal
culation that the candidates for uemina?
tiens spent in the aggregate between $33,
000 and $40,000, of which at least 5)0 per
cent, was of the disreputable class of ex
penditures te which we have referred. Te
such a pitch qt excitement and such length
efshanielcssncss'h'ad tlic campaign pro
gressed, that en election day the agent's
of the candidates steed along the curb curb
btencs in this city, with inenp'y jn hand,
buying every thing that came along, re
gardless of party, age or residence, and
putting the cash in ene hand and the
ticket into the ether.
These practices gradually induced a
a large class of Republican voters in this
city te expect the same treatment at the
general election, and during late years' it
has bcfiii the custom net only te "beer"
them liberally for weeks in advance of the
election, but te pay tlcm well for their
votes and services en election day. A class
of Democrats have naturally come te ex
pect the same, and the institution of "poll
committees, " which once meant the pay
ment of a day's wages te a few needy men
who lest a day's work that they could illy
spare, te held the window book, distribute
tickets or ran the carriages, has grown
into a monstrous, abusp whjch new means
the payment of from $1 $5 per day each en
election day te anywhere from 300 te 1,000,
voters te held or change their votes. Te
be sure, many of these would vote their
ticket without this inducement, but as its
extension has become se general they ex
pect it, and politicians fear te take the risk
of withholding it. There remain hundreds
with whom it is virtually, if net techni
cally, a matter of outright purchase, and
year by year the number of this plass is in
creasing. Fer reasons which are obvious the Dem
ocracy must be the sufferers from this sys
tem. The unvarying liberal campaign
fund of the opposition, drawn from heavy
capitalists and corporations with great in
terests seeking legislation and raised by
assessments and levies en office-holders,
utterly obliterates the slim, voluntary con
tributions of Democrats. Rut we trust
there is a higher and mere patriotic view
of the question which honest men of all
parties can take. Aside from party ad
vantages, and beyond a regard fqr the
Mcvere tax which the system entails upon
active partisans, decent people must view
with grave apprehensions the long train of
ensuing ills. Chief of these, of course, are
the general demoralization and debauchery
of the vemers ; scarcely second te it is the
dangerous power given te money aud
office te overcome the actual voice of the
people ; most of the patriotic sentiment of
politics is eliminated by the fact that the
most earnest and high-minded patriot is
balanced at the polls by the bummer
whose yete can be bought for the almighty
dollar and a siuglp dollar at that. The
personal leadership which onee gave such
enthusiasm aud magnetism te campaigns
is rapidly becoming lest te us, and all the
legitimate powers of persuasion, the argu
ment of reason, the eloquence of the ora
tor, the ability, of the editor, count for
naught against influences which arc net
only unworthy, but yielding te which is,
in itself, vicious and demoralizing.
Philanthropic citizens and honest citi
zens cannot ignore these abuses. Te meet
them in a partisan spirit is only topcipctu tepcipctu
ate them. Yre must unite the better
classes of all parties te stamp them out. It
has become the leading question, net hew
elections shall go, but if there shall be
elections at all. "" A few mere years of the
recent progress toward an utter abuse of
suffrage, and anarchy will be down en us
like night,
. This is what the Aeic Era new saya :
"If half what is told of the money spout,
and the purposes for which it was spent,
in the late election, be true, it is a burning
disgrace te both parties aud a terribly dis
gusting commentary upon the venality of
a certain class of voters. It is an undeni
able fact that men were openly bought like
sheep in the shambles, their votes finally
going te the party which made the highest
bid. Beth parties charge it upon the ether,
and we will net pretend te gay which be
gan it or who did the most of it ; although
there is a pretty geed reason for believing
that the friends of Mayer MacGeniglc did
the out-bidding yesterday, whether because
they had the longest purse or reserved the
use of it until the time when they could
mere certainly " put it where it would de
the most geed," this deponent saith net.
AtalLevents, it is about time that the
decent men of both parties should get
together and order a halt en this most
degrading of all species qf corruption, and
hereafter estracise any man qi- party who
uses money for anything connected with
elections, except for legitimate and neces
sary expenses autherised by law, If some
thing of that kind is-notdene our elections
will be worse than a farce a crime, and a
nursery of criminals.
Seme Timely KemlnUcences.
This is what the editor of the Xeic Era
said oil Oct. 17, 1872, seen after the ras
calities of some of its present friends in
forging naturalization papers had been
disclosed :
"They are simply the culmination of a
series of frauds which have been perpe
trated in this county at every primary
election for years, and the same parties
having grown bold with impunity in their
crimes, have new ventured te debauch our
general elections in the same manner.
We asserted some time since that Gov Gov
ereor Geary was "counted"' in three year.
age, and were denounced as a slanderer
for saying se. But, if the statute of limi
tation had net thrown its protecting arms
around the guilty parties, we mi;ht show
by their own admission, that some of that
very fraud was perpetrated in this city, and
by the very men, tee, who are new doing
all in their little power te crush the Ex
press. It might be shown hew the assum;
cd leaders went into a private room, ex
perimented with different kinds of ink,and
finally sent out and procured the quality
which suited them, and then signed the
names of election officers te a return which
they had hCver made ! But the scoundrels
who engage in this work take care te con
ceal their frauds until after the statute of
limitation can be successfully pleaded in
case of prosecution !
The efforts new being made by the ring
leaders te coyer im the three cases of
alleged fraud just developed in this city,
point mere clearly te the guilt of the
parties implicated tlinu the duvet evidence
itself. Extraordinary efforts have been
made te intimidate Mr. Frey from prose
cuting MoMellen, who has been led te be
lieve that he would suffer in his business if
he did net withdraw the suit ! And it is
common street talk that ueue of these
cases will ever come te trial, as all the
money and political influence arc arrayed
en the side of tlje defendants. We brand
all such conclusions' as slanders upon our
court and the officers whose duty it is te
execute the laws, We demand that these
cases shall be tried en the same terms at
least as the peer man who is tried for
stealing a bag of Heur te keep the wolf of
hunger from his deer the terms of jus
tice. Will our honest citizens submit te
anything less? Are they willing te have
their hqiKHjt ballqts Ret aside qr liuHjllcd
by infamous fraud, and still leek en in
silence !
TOOK JfcNXIE TYL.KK.
The KT-Presnleiit's Niece Dead ami
Her
llusbaml Toe Peer te Huryller,
The death is announced of Jenuip Tyler,
niec,e of ex-Presidcut Tyler. Ten years
age she was' one of the reigning belles of
Washington, She possesuii also a comfort
able fortune. Yesterday her dead body
lav stretched en a table in a rickety and
squalid tenement of Brooklyn, her hus
band, William Cellins, being tee peer te
defray the expenses of the funeral.
It appears that she has wealthy
relatives who refuse te bury her.
Jennie was married tvioe. Her first hus
band squadded her money, Her second
husband, Cellins, was peer and was thrown
out of work. It is said Jennie's father
lives In Ilarrisburg. The dead woman's
sister lives in handsome four story b own

Details of Her Dcatli.
New Yerk Uei-aW.
" They Ijad de as T .said, fqr I made
the match," said Mrs Charlette Rice te a
reporter yesterday. ' I did it for the best
te give the peer "jrl a home,"
The speech' had reference (e the mar
riage of Jennie 1 lemon Tler, a daughter
of Cel. W, W, Tyler ami grandniece of
the late President Tyler, te William
Cellins, a laborer in the Brooklyn gas
works ; and it was in response te the re
porter's question as te why, both being
Reman Catholics, they were married in a
Protestant church. While Jrs. liee v.iv,
speaking the reporter looked around the
barren apartment, wIiemj uncarpctcd fleer
aud the bare walls spoke of poverty and
ajnjest squalor,
"J was net always e peer." said Mr.
Cellins, interpreting the reporter's leek.
That he spoke truly there could he no
doubt, for still he was rich in true manli
ness and all the higher attributes of hu
man nature. Stretched en a table, which
served for a bier, lay the peer woman,
whose story is a siqgqlarjy sad enp. The
child of wealthy parents and boasting a
lineage as proud as any in the land,
splendidly educated and a pet in the high
est, secjal circles, she was, before her girl
hood was past, betrayed, disowned, east
out. Deluded into a mock marriage In
Brooklyn by a man named Jennings and
despoiled of her property, she was left te
beggary and starvation, or worse. Jennie
Tyler was born in Richmond in 1848 ; her
girlhood was passed en her father's
plantation in Mississippi ; she was educa
ted in a convent, -and in li?72, when her
cousin, Jehn W. Stevenson, was United
States senator from Keutucky, she was
introduced into Washington society. It
was seen after the last event that slip made
the acquaintance of Jennings and married
him. A few months wrought the misery
and downfall of the bright, vivacious and
intelligent yenng girl. Fer the next two
or three years nothing of her history is
known by the public except that she was
disowned by her family, and as Mis. Rice
declares, harshly turned away from her
sister's deer when she went te beg for
bread and protection.
t'l wpnt with her te hpr sister's house, "
said Mrs. Rice, '"but the deer was
slammed jn her face, I told her te come
away with me, aud that is hew she be
came my brother's wife. "
" Mrs. Cellins has net been iccegnizcd
by her family, " said that sister's husband
te the reporter, "because she married be
low her station. There are family reasons
why I should net talk about her life ; it is
purely a family matter, and does net fuui
cprn the publip. "
Butthe man who shared his scanty earn
ings with her, who gave her name and a
home, who was proud te call her wife, was
net se reticent. As he sat ever his dead
iu his peer apartment at Ne. 78 Hudsen
avenue, Brooklyn, yesterday, he never
ceased talking of her gentleness, her virr
tqes and her accomplishments. There was
no mistaking the fact that this poorlaboi peorlaboi poerlaboi
ing man was proud of his talented and
high born wife, "She was tee ffnp a woman
for a peer inan te marry," he said; "she
M-as fit for a prince. Bnt she never com
plained of her hard let she was never ua
happy in her prevcrty. Ner did I cver
hear her say an unkind word of her rich
relations who had disowned her. She was
well acquainted with General Pryer, the
lawyer. Senater Stevenson was her cqushj
and was Mrs. Arthur, the vife of General
Arthur, in New Yerk, Her middle name
was Hernden. Yeu see she was of royal
stock."
"Have you heard from any of her friends
since her death?"' the reporter askwd.
"Mr, Brophy, her brother-in-law, sent
me 623 te bury her, but it came tee late
te de it te-day, and this morning I re
ceived a letter from her father. Here it
is."
Mr. Cellins handed the reporter a letter,
which was dated at the European bete',
Ilarrisburg, Pa. Its ceiitpnts yefe as fol fel
lows :
"Villiaxi Cellins, esq. 3Fu Dfar Sir:
Your telegram was this moment received
conveying the sad intelligence of the
death of my daughter Janp, and I met
sincerely condole with you. Though it was
what we were expecting every" day, yet it
is a severe blew te me, and mere particu
larly se because it is impossible for me te
attend the funeral and drop a tear ever her
remains. Please let me knew whether she
received the List rites of the church or net
which, if she did, would be the Greatest
consolation te me, and I could havca mass
said for the repose or her soul. "-irs.
Tyler's condition is such that I cannot be
absent from her but a few hours at a time"
She unites with me in the warmest regards
and sincerest geed wishes for your health
and happiness. I am most truly
.'w , W-W.Tyi.eii.
' Were the last rites of the church per
formed?" the reporter asked, after perus
ing the latter.
"Yes," Mr. Cellins answered, "by
Father MeCue, of St. Ann's church, only
a few minutes before she died. "
Further inquiry elicited the fact that
Mr. and Mrs. Cellins were married Octo
ber 13, 1875, at St. Peter's church, in
Twentieth street, by the Rev. Dr. Beach.
She died, of consumption, en Monday last
at 2 o'clock p. m. Her remains will be
interred at Flatbusli in the cemetery of
the Hely Cress, this afternoon. As the
reporter rose te take his leave the
wemau who was in attendance upon
the dead lifted the covering from
the face of the deceased. A glance
revealed an emaciated but striking face, in
Its outlines wonderfully like the portraits
of the late President Tyler, whose bleed
was in her veins. There were still some
lingering traces of her girlish beautv
which even years of sorrow and poverty
could net destroy. "Her face is the best
part of her," said Mr. Cellins mournfully;
and it was plainly te be seen that she was
a mere sKeioien, as gaunt as dcatli itself.
Cremation ami SivedeiiberSamsiii.
A correspondent in the New Orleans
Picayuw writes : I read in your paper this
morning an extract containing an account
of the cremation of the dead body of a
young lady at Washington, Pa., and the
Writer stated that the father of the child
was "an ardent follower of Swcdonberg "
and called cremation the last ceremony of
the Swedenbergian creed.
What next will ignorant persons impose
upon us peer Swedeubergians ? They
have had us setting plates, at our tables for
our neat' nlcnds for thp last hundred years.
Tl'icy have made out that we saw ghosts
and talked te spirits. They have roundly
asserted in the face of all the facts that
we were spiritualists and held spanecs.
They say we deny the Divinity of the Lord
Jesus C!;rit, when we are the only Chris
tians qf the face of tlc earth tha,t tv".ly
and fully assert Iis siwreme and sole
Divinity. They say wc deny the Bible, when
no ether denomination teaches se absolute
a faith in the spirit and letter of the Hely
Scriptures, And new the spirit of miurep miurep miurep
vosentatlen takes the queer shape of a
statement that cremation is an article of
the Swedenbergian faith,
Let cremation stand en its uun bottom,
rty'odenljorg Bidd neriiing about it; the
church which toadies his doctrines says
nothing about it, and very few Sweden Sweden
hergians have ever pronounced an opinion
en the subject. It is, however, likely that
disciples of Swcdenberg will adept the
practice of cremation mere readily than,
the members of ether churches, aud for
tlui following most excellent reasons .
Swedciiberg very philosophically teaches
that there is never going tu be an end of
time, that the world is never going te be
destroyed, by cremation or etherwise, and
that the material body is never going te be
resurrected. He teaches with St. Paul
that we have a spiritual body, that the
spiritual body lises at death, and that the
natural body is necessarily cast off forever.
j The spiritual world is totally different from
j the natural weild, thp spiritual body from
the natural body. The geed saints who
have gene te heaven would be inovpressi inevpressi
( bly shocked if tlipy were told they would
I liaye te come back into the natural world
, and get into their bodies again, no matter

rciicive them,
Swedenbergians. therefore, attach no
special value te the material body. It is a
compound of se much oxegen, hydrogen
and ether chemicals which undergoes
iunuiHcrable transformations forever.
A deceased friend has nothing mere
te de with it te eternity. Crema
tion is probably tl'P most respect
able, doctor, rapid, cleanly and sani
tary method of disposing of it. Wc turn
our thoughts entirely away from death
and the grave, and expect te meet the

wedded, and the job was done without
