n.eM,vit.vif 1.1m cliiiinnaii of ihotivityef Jdge Poland, who made the
Republican county committee lest the
morals br the young men in this com cem
munily may he corrupted hy the location
of the Democratic headquarters is as un
expected as his appearance in the role
of a moralist and temperance lecturer is
novel. If Chairman Kslileiiuui-sintcn-st
in the morals of the young men, or Dis
trict Attorney Eshlemaus concern for
the pciice ami welfare of the community,
is sincere, he could have begun and con
tinued his missionary work in his own
party years age with credit te himself
and profit te all concerned. Conversions,
like charity, begin at home.
It would have been well, for instance,
if the pious exemplars of his party, who.
some eight yean; age. forged and fabri
cated iialnnilizat ion papers in this city.
had met their just dues. se that the
young men of Lancaster might hae had
set before them a vivid realization that j
the way of the political trangrcer is ,
hard, instead of being taught by c:imiv!
that the perpetration of such iniquities;
commends the offender te renewed facr i
at, the hands of Lancaster county lie-1
publicans. ;
It wvuld hae been well if a Rtpubli-.
can court had taken some cegr.irancv j
yearsagoefa Republican district atter-1
ney's flagrant offense, his breach of oath j
and fidelity, in representing te it that ;
the witnesses necessary te make out a
iiigh crime against a Republican official
were beyond process when they were
really sitting in court wailing te lv
called.
It would hae been well if this Mine
court had at some time taken cog
uixauce of another Republican district

this citv. exne.-t ' ': the uiteringand u.-e
of bogus tax receipt-, four years age,
liail been indicted, or at least deposed
from the favor of their parly, toshewthe
young men of this city what a careful
censer of the public morals that party is.
It would have been well if when tiir-e
Republican members of the Lancaster
bar, including Chairman and District'
Attorney I'shlcmaii.hadnided in the pros
titution of the local machinery of justice
te serve the exigencies of the Republican
parly, by saving one of its beat workers,
the Republican court had taken cogni
zance of the imposition practiced upon
il and the disgrace attaching te it.
h would have been well if i-oiee oneel
the pi-rjured Republican politicians in
this county wite, according te the .Vi"
AY', have made its primary elections a
" carnival of fraud," and who. according
te the Ks'uuim r, render it impossible for
any such election te be hemislly held,
bad been indicted, tried and convicted
under the statute law. which prescribes
abundant prohibitions, pains and penal
tics for these crimes.
It would b well if the district attor
ney, in view of the direct charges of
fraud and perjury against well-known
members of his parly, made by the :'.-(t.if.e.-,
in relation te the Second ward
primary election of KSTil, had set upon
them the aldermen, detectives and oli't eli't oli't
cci'e whom lie invokes te push and prose
cute cases of chicken .stealing and ether
offenses net nearly se grave as these
against the purity of the ballet, when
brought te his notice.
it would have been well if Mr. i'shle
man,s party had kept steadily in view
the influence of a geed example for the
young men of the city when they nomin
ated for district attorney this year the
most grossly unlit man at the bar for a
position of such high professional and
populareenlienoe, one who has betrayed
his clients and forfeited all claims upon
public toleration of his offenses, who
holds his tenure at the bar by the indul
gence or judges whose nomination, like
his,was secured by the favor of the worst
class of the corrupt politicians that in
fest this community.
It would have been well it the district
attorney had investigated the charges of
a corruption fund sent hither by one of
his friends in state politics and used in
his behalf te accomplish the direct
bribery of voters and alteration of returns
at the late primary elections.
In short, if the chairman of the Re
publican county committee will only for
one term of quarter sessions turn reform
er in earnest, he can find abundant ex
ercises for his newly discovered talents
in a, cause far mere urgently demanding
his attention than the impending danger
which he depicts te the young men of
this city, who occasionally assemble at
the Democratic headquarters. When
the young men of Lancaster want, te
pass ever the Red Sea, dry shed, they
will hardly call en Eshlciiiau te part the
waters. "When they are , hirst, neither
will they invoke Picaym'- .Jehnsen te

Rutler. .Many ladies wc.re hi the gallery

taat people almost stilled the musicians
and cut he! v drowned their efforts when
General Rutler appeared. The platform

lar Republican in his district and has elteu

spoke in Mib.stance as fellows :
" When pirlics change their principles,
p.itiietic moo change their parlies. I cast
my fust pieMucntial ballet for Lincoln,
the maityr. I shall cast my next for Han Han
ce.ik. the great soldier ::id tiie great
statesman. Democratic principles have
neer ceased te rule this country, but the
Democratic pari y has sometimes failed te
icspend te the Dcmoeratie instinct. It
was se. in ray judgment, in 1800. The
Republican party was born of Democratic
aspitatiens, cradled in Democratic ideas,
nursed by Democratic stafesmen and car
ried te triumph by the votes of the Demo
cratic massas. Rut in the fulness of time
that Democratic m:s .ion has Dcen accom
plished. Il has ceased te bear Democratic
fruit; and the fungous growth of sectional
ism which springs from its decay has at
length provoked the cry from the people,
fut it down, why eumisercth it the
ground V When the Republican
party first sprang into the arena,
armed for the tight with a party nominally
Democratic but actually sectional, villi
weapons appropriated from fhe armory of
Jell'ersenia doctrine, it declared for every
thing winch it new repudiates. She pie
amble te its first platform, adopted in lt."i;i,
at Philadelphia, deel.ires that lis purpose
was 'te restore the action of the federal
government te the principles of Washing
ton and .lull'ursen," and the first resolution
declares that the I'lainteiiaucc of the
principles promulgated in the Declaration
of Independence, and embodied in the
federal constitution, is essential te the
preservation of our republican Institu
tions, and that tlw federal constitution
the rights of the states' marl: that sen
tence, "the rights of the state,' "and the
union of the .states shall be preserved.
Four years later, in 1SU0, at Chicago, it
declared its linn resolve, in the fourth
resolution of itsptatferni, 'that ihemaiutc
nauce inviolate of the rights of the stales,
and especially the lightef each staloteorder
and control its own domestic institutions
according te its own judgment exclusively,
is essential te that balance of power en
which the perfection and endurance of our
political fabric depend.' In the same plat
form it denounced the use of ih veto
power te override a vote of the people's
representatives. Feiknv citizens, where
does it stand te-day'.' Net en that ground
eelrainly. It has ceased te talk of Jeffer Jeffer
eon and has come te regard 'the rights e'
the states' with a spirit of hostility that
is as fanatical as the spirit of:: pernicious
and malignant sectionalism can make it.
Then its orators were went te wake the
echoes with denunciations- of fed era!

Ge te your libraiies, my lellewcitixenSjand

when federal bayonet ; formed a -opiate
in which Auther,-,- Burns marched down

They spoke less contemptuously, I assure
you, of the rights of the slates in that con
nection. Rut the successors of the men
who rcs'-nted the presence of federal
troops te enforce federal laws e.i Massa
chusetts soil weuid have us believe te-day
that the Union is net safe and that liberty
is net secure unless the federal govern

Arc these the principles of .Tell'er.-en for
which they declared in 1830 anil ISM -.' Are
these the rights of the states which they de
clared then te be of essentia! importance '.'
Or is this the mailed hand of centralization
copying from Use pattern set by the third
Napeleon, with his prefects at every ballet

"What else did they declare in these
earlier pkitferins".' Fer economy in the

Accident.
On Saturday afternoon, 'Mr. Henry
Bessier, of Raphe township, in company
with his wife and. aunt, who is an elderly
holy, was driving a frectioiisiier.se, hitched
te a covered niaiket wagon. At a point
en the Mauhciiu read, about three miles
from this place, the horse became un
manageable, when his wile ami aunt
jumped out. The aunt escaped injury, but
Mrs. R. received injuries about the face.
The man, when he became conscious en
Sunday, could net tell new he get out of
the wagon. He sustained several severe
bruises about his upper extremities. They
were taken into the house of Mrs. Pelly
Brubaker, where they were kindly eared
for. The wagon was a brand new one, and
is new an entire wreck.

A rain from I he west last night will put
an end te the injurious effects of the
dreuth. In a sheit thins the water will
soak deep into the ground and wells that
were dry (of which there were many,)
will koeu be replenished ; the backward
tobacco which had, strange te say, retained
much of its vigor, will commence te .sit etch
its leaves surprisingly; the cornfedder will
be all the better in consequence, and the

There are a number el line toeaeco

llnlx-as Corpus Case.
alary Diana Stout, a nine-year-old col
ored girl, was brought into court in order
that the court might decide who was enti
tled te her. She is the daughter of Aman
da Stout, but since 187(5 has been living
with Jeseph ditto and his wife, who are
very respectable colored people and reside
in Little Britain township. Catte and his
wife claim that in the year 1870, Mrs.
Stout, who was then working out as a
cook with different people, hail no place
for her child. She made a verbal contract
with thcni by which they are te take her
child te raise. They were te clothe her,
send her te school and maintain her as
their own child. Since that time they
have kept the child and did net want her
te leave their possession. Mrs. Stout
admitted having given the child te Catte
and wife, but she said there was no time
specified for Lcr te remain with" them.
Since she has been living with them
she (Mrs. Stout) has bought clothing for
her te the amount of $10.75. She new has

in need for them. Mrs. Stout also claimed
that upon one occasion the child had been
severely whipped by Mrs. Catte. The

While almost every election district in
the county is forming political clubs, Bart
is ever head and ears in the tobacco busi
ness. We visit the hotels of an even ing in
order te get some new ideas about the
campaign, but are greeted with no con
versation except that relating te tobacco.
Yve stroll across te the postellice, thinking
we may hear sonic of the newspaper arti
cles commented upon, but we are there
deemed te listen te the same strain
tobacco, tobacco. The fact of the matter
is, the people of our village aud vicinity are
net going te bother themselves te any ex
tent about politics or politicians until the
tobacco crop is safely housed, afterward
leek out for some little " Hancock boom "
from "old Bart."
Our tobacco crop is net one of the small
things. Bart will send out about as fair
a crop of geed wrappers for Ib'O as any
ether section of the county. Although
some of the raisers this year are amateurs
in the business we may safely predict geed
results te all.
Among the raisers who are housing a
geed quality iu size and gtewth, may at
present be named I). G. Stcacy, Solemon
I lamer, J. P. Russell, ?. 31. Lennex, A.
Hcidlebaugh and a great many ethecs.
The demijohn stolen from Ben. Fritz en
Monday niidit, August 10th hist., was left

The thieves who are making these incur
sions are no doubt the same "Welsh
mountain gang" who, two years age, en
tered the store of Aitkin & Palmer iu this
village.
The season for festivals is at a close, and
the people hereabout need net feel slighted
en account el" the lack oftheso conven
iences in their neighborhood. Four festi
vals were held during the summer, two iu
the village of Georgetown and two at the
nickel mines, each one resulting in a geed
net profit or from $80 te $I2."i.

no doubt be a grand success.

Abraham lnter JJonere;! Life.
Te have lived in a community for eighty

Peters, one of Lancaster county's best
known citizens, who celebrated his eighty
ninth birth-day. Our correspondent says :
"We found him enjoying unusually geed
health and excellent spirits for a man of
his age. lie was called upon by a number
of his friends and neighbors who congrat
ulated him upon his health, and wished
him many happy days te enjoy iu his old
age. His old Democratic friend, C. F.
Rces, the German speaker at public meet
ing:-, sent linn a bottle or wme with his
compliments in the morning. He told us
he iias voted at every election since 1812.
and his friends suggested that they would
take him te the polls in a carriage this year,
but he straightened himself up and said
that he intends walking te the polls as he
did for 03 years, and intended te vete for
General Hancock, aud hoped he would be
elected, as he wanted once mere te live
under a geed old-fashioned Democratic ad
ministration." Cuuccriicil for the "Yeunij Men."
In his speech before the Yeung Men's

Quigley. ueil known in police circles, was
fiem the ltr: Mispeeted as the ringleader
iu these depredations. Since his
race with and escape from Oflicer Adams
his abiding place was unknown until late
en Saturday night, when he was arrested
by Ofiieers Adams and Lentz, at a tenant
farm about two miles north of Cochran
ville. Chester county. Every night for
weeks past these efiieers have scoured the
county iu the hepO of finding n clue. On
Saturday evening they bearded the 0:2."
train for Atglen (or Penniiigtonville),
where they hired a team and proceeded te
f echranville. They had information that
two suspicious characters were working as
farm hands en a farm about a mile from
that place. Ariiving at the farinheiise
Officer Lent;: guarded the rear deer, and
Adams went te the front deer and knocked
for admittance. Soen he heard the step of
a man coming down the stairs and the
deer was cautiously opened. Officer
Adams feu-ed bis way in and
at once recognized Quigley. When Quig
ley saw Adams he ran for the stairs, but
was caught by the officer before he had
proceeded far, and then ensued a terrible
tussle between captive and captor. The
women in this house cried "murder," and
the "ether man" jumped out a second
story window and took te the corn-field.
Lent, hastened te the assistance el Adams,
the bracelets were put en Quigley and he
was brought te town and taken te jail
early yesterday morning. On his way te
town I;e sieke but little el" his kilo actions
and seemed very defiant. He had repeat
edly declared that no officer should take
him alive, and il is probable he would
have made a mere effective resistance had
he net taken the officer te be ene of
his thieving companions returning from
a midnight raid. Officers Adams
and Lentz deserve much credit for
the persistence, tact anil success with
which they hae hunted Quigley down.
The law has several unsettled accounts
with him. First, he jumped his bail in
the case against him wherein be is charged
with the theft of a quantity of block lead
from the city reservoir grounds. Then he
was seiiw months age charged with the
larceny of chicken:; from Mr. Ceover, of
r'phrata. and still later, when he outran
Officer Adams, as has been before rciierteil,
be dropped from his shoulders a
bag containing several pairs of
shoes which have been identified
as a part, of the property recently stolen
from Geigcr's store in Quarryvillc. It is
known also that, he sold several pairs of
the stolen shoes te parties in the eastern
section of the city, and it is confidently be
lieved that he wiil be proven te have bad
a hand in several ether burglaries and lar
cenies recently committed.
The baiJp'ece for Quigley':; arrest for
stealing the lead pipe was issued by Al

A Het Knx Sti:-y.
All old passenger engineer relates this
story of a het box en a certain car years
age as showing the inconvenience and
trouble te which net only the train men
but even the passengers may be put. One
night while running the Cincinnati express
west, when between Ceatcsville and
Parkcsburg, en looking towards the rear
of his train, he noticed :i glare issuing
from the train which lighted up the fields
en both sides of the read bed for a distance,
of a hundred yards. With his experience
he had no trouble iu making out the cause
of the light, aud ou reaching Parkcsburg,
where the train stepped for water, he
went back te sec whether the box could
be cooled. The first leek convinced him
that all such attempts would be fu
tile as the "journal" el the car and
the "brasses" encircling it were at a
white heat. The eugitieuiau told
the conductor he had better awaken the
passengers in the "sleeper" and have
them take another ear. The conductor
thought it unnecessary ; but it was fin
ally agreed te leave the mutter with thu
passengers. A few minutes were spent in
awakening the dreamers aud then in an
other minute or two the occupants of the
car had assembled ou the platform at the
station. The engineer told them he was
satisfied te haul the car if they desired te
remain in it, but explained te them the
danger attending such an undertaking,
stating that the car might go down at any
time and that it was net sale for a minute.
The passengers unanimously decided te
take te another car, and the disabled one
was placed en the Parkcsburg siding.
Frem Parkcsburg it was taken te Lancas
ter ; from Lancaster te Mount Jey, from
Mount Jey te Harrisburg and from Har
risburg te Thompseiitown where it was
lest sight of by the engineer. He was as
sured, however, that it took a week te get
the car te Pittsburgh.
