New Fr Harrhrtmrgl ' :- At Uarrisburg for many years there has been going on jnst such plundering as has been exposed in the Philadelphia almshouse , Thousands and tens of thousands of dollars "have been spent at the state capital year after year for re furnishing, for 'supplies' and for work done out C which the larger.) part, has been stolen or wasted. The old furni ture is carted off by the thieves, and more than once after rooms were relaid with catpBtifcg and the state .had paid to clean arid put away toe 'old floor cover la? it was found to be missing when search was made for it. Curtains that are takea down ar$ never put 'up, again and mysteriously disappear. Arm chairs are replaced with new ones, and those which have probably uotbeea used more than one season, and are good as new, are old to favorites at a merely nominal price or shamelessly carried off. Many a bouse o' some ring thief or the chamber of bis mistress, .has been furnished '.with carpets, furniture and decorations, bought and paid "for out of : the state treasury of Pennsylvania. Any one who can recall (he lists of supplies published in the Lntelltcjex cek from time to time, which are asked for by our state officials, will be filled wilh wonderment at the variety of tbein and the-quantities in (Which they are asked for. Many of these things are of a permanent character and should not neei replacing oftene'r than once in ten years. But they are bought? or at least paid for, annually. We, have heard of state officials who could not use or carry off all this plunder, who would take in its stead from the contractor gofffjwafchjes jWrlttiemselres iind silk dregsea fbr Hejrwhrta.' Aeo"Aqntrac tor was caught some years ago deliver ing 1,200 pounds. of coal , to f he ton for the state, and the scaJtooi3'Weh JbjsA'tbieving has been carried on at the state capital induces the belief that the swindle runs i,ip o tens of thousands of. dollars an nually.. Somehow or other it has been-kept concealed from the public. Occasionally quarrel among thorob , hers lets out some of (heir secrets, but ''j'even' this is1 soon adjusted and the ''squealer.'-' is silenced. It needs a courageous and intelligent man, vested with high official authority, to let in the light upon the rottenness at 'the state capittl." ' This. community some time ago heard with astonishment how things had been going on for years at the County prison. Philadelphia, is shocked at the relations in the almshouse management. But all of Pennsylvania is interested in a dis closure of affairs at Tlarrisburg. They need to be turned inside out. The de partments must be cleaned and fumi gated. The iats that have so long in fested them must be scattered. Municipal reform in Philadelphia be gan with the advent of Pattison into " office. 'Nobody pretends 'that he has ac complished it single-handed, but ho and bis administration first made it possible. Not a step has been made except in the line of his work, not a reform has been accomplished save by his co-operation. On the other hand the men who are sup porting Beaver are the Phippses of the city, xney nave plundered the munici pality and grown rich upon its spoils. They opposed Pattison and his woik ; their insolence and corruption drove tens of .thousands of honest Republicans to his- support, and with their aid the ring has been driven into the last ditch. When the cellar and store-room of the Pliipps mansion were uncovered the Philadelphia ringsters saw that their day of doom had come. .Now for Harris- burg! Thc Deadly Vance. Mr. Heber Donaldson, the dancing y f Presbyterian of Emlenton, in this state, has at last abandoned the battle which be has fought so long, so vigorously, but withal unsuccessfully. This is the end of the famous case in which Donaldson, who hadjtoe "oessioned" for going through the figures of a square dance at a social gathering, carried,his appeal up to the highest judicatory of the church, the General Assembly, only to have it sent back to the original tribunal for some alleged informality in the record. After the session of the church at Emlenton had completed the record and reiterated .the1 previous sentence Donaldson had announced his 'determination of again carrying the matter up through the church courts until a final decision is reached, but he has reconsidered his de cision and will let the matter rest. It seems a pity that after this prolonged uHimuiuun we are not co nave an au thoritative declaration of just where the church militant in this modern era stands in its view of the sedate quadrille and tho more festive waltz and polka. It would be interesting and instructive .to frisky Presbyterians who are suspect ed of an inclination towards sal tatprial amusements if they could,Jpave some 1 definite information on this subject. At the time the Gener.il Assembly Bent the , , case back to the session for amendment, it was whispered in some quarters that the grave and reverend seigniors of that most august tribunal simply took this means of dodging the record ; but after the earnest fight made -by lawyer Don aldson in maintaining the innocence of his action, it would be uncharitable to suppose that he1 has been " butl-dozed" iron his purpose to press the matter to a final determination. Probable he simply wearied in the battle; and so festive . deacons and elders will continue going through the deceitful figures of the cotil-lionorwhirlinzinthemazesoftheamnnri dance," in ignorance of thef awful 'truth J that possibly they are engaging in mortal eiaian invoking the wrath income upon Weir devoted beadsr vl I ' ' Ojte, of the tricks of; the bosses," . whereby they bope to pull through the Cameron ticket in November, is to tam- per with Republican assessors of easy political virtue, and induce them to omit from the registers the nama of as many Democrats and Independents as poijto, aad thi .pjtfwit them from voting.

The discovery made by our new col lector of internal revenue that- the inter, estsof the civil service require that his nephew should exchange salaries and duties with the brother-in-law '-of tbe editor of the New Era should invite the latter to consider whether this is a step in the interest of reform. Until other wise convinced, wa will have to assume that the collector's nephew is elevated to an eleven hundred doilao' clerkship as a reward of merit, and thai the'-bVother- in-Iaw goes down to a $ix hundred dollar one for due cause. We cannot permit ourselves to suppose that the relationship had anything to do with 'the transfers pr Stalwartism either. We are bound to believe until otherwise ad vised, that the exceptional merit of the Kauffman blood did the business. This disclosure adds further point to the criticism we have made upon the differ ent treatment awarded to the political interference sought by Sturgis and Mil ler to secure their desirable positions. Sturgis is shown to have had the ille gitimate interference in his behalf of the president in securing originally the place which he afterwards managed to retain by the influence of Senator Con ger. General Sherman's reprimand of Major Miller can hardly- be expected to be received with respect by army officers who are currently and constantly re minded that it is not the use of political influence chat is punished, but only the insufficient weight of it. - m Cooi'EK's smut machine sustains a severo wrench in the recital we else where print of the loyalty and devotion to the Union cause which Kev. Dr. Pat tison, now deceased, lather of the pres ent Democratic candidate for governor, manifested throughout the rebellion. The attack on the memory of a beloved clergyman was at best an outrage against the ordinary decent sense and its mean ness was enhanced by the sneaking 1 innuendo lesorted to in the effort to create the false impression that the dead divine cherished secession sentiments. The Republican testimony to the con trary, which we publish, is overwhelm ing in its conclusiveness and the little Stalwart organs that have been so ready to pipe lorth their discordant strains in the attempt to defame the dead find their occupation gone and arc put to sad straits in seeking fur a weapon in their present desperate fight for the bosses. Smut is the poorest kind of am munition, and in this instance it seems to have recoiled on its projectors. Yon. We mean you, who are now leading these lines ; and we ask you if you are a voter ? If you are, are you legisteral as a voter in the ward or election district in which you live and propose to vote ? You may have been registered hist year, but are you quite sure you are registered this year ? We know some old Demo cratic voters whose names have been omitted from the register, either acci dentally or purposely. To day and to morrow the ward assessors will sit at the usual polling places to correct the lists. Unless yon are certain that your name is on the register, go and examine it. To-day and to-morrow are the last days. Friday will be too late. m m Adjutant-General, Diiuji says that President Garfield ordered 'the ap pointment of Gen. Sturgis to the super intendency of the Soldiers' Home, not withstanding the adjutant general told him that he could not find on the army register a man less fitted for the place. This is a severe reflection upon Drum as well as upon Garfield! It was Drum and his colleagues whose duty it was to recommend a superintendent for ap pointment by the secretary of war, and it was none of Garfield's business. If he interfered with them he did wrong ; and they undoubtedly did wrong in rec ommending an appointment which they considered unfit to be.made. m Tiie- picture of the elder -Pattison waving the Union flag at ,a great loyal demonstration in Philadelphia and offer ing his services to Governor Curtin to repel the rebel invasion of Pennsylvania must furnish the smut flingers plenty of thought for reflection. Dr. Pattison is dead, but tho men who undertook to revile his memory have been quick to discover that his works do follow him. Tun Republican assessors havo omitted the names of many Democratic voters from tho registers. Perhaps they have omitted yours. Go to tho polling place and soo for yourself to-night or to-morrow. Reasonable mcu find it hard to under stand how Mr. Jay A. Hnbbell can, as a member of the civil service reform com mittee of the piesent Congress, help alone this good cause by collecting "voluntary" assessments from government employees. The handsome face of Silas M. Clark, is to-day added to our portrait gallery of the Democratic candidates. The sketch which it accompanies is a faithful narra tive of his honorable career and fairly exemplifies the esteem in which ho is held by his neighbors and those who know him best. Able lawyer that he is, Mr. Clark will adorn the supremo bench and given mo aigoicy mac sucn names as Black and Gibson, Sharswood and Turnkey have won 'for it in. the past. The question has arisen "whether a certificate is required of Chinese traveling from one point to another in this country on a through ticket, and who may stop in Canada en route." The acting' secretary of tho treasury has concluded not to decide the matter, but to " leave all such questions to the discretion of tho customs officers to act according to the Jaw." In the case of an alleged Chinese merchaut, who arrived in San Francisco from Pana ma, and was not permitted to land, Judgo Field, in the U. S. circuit court, decided yesterday that " merchants coming from y.Luei Kuuuuies uwn mna may land without certificates." DEFAMING THE DEAD. W0BKUP IWOPlSaVB SMUT MAOH1N1S. Aa AttMk on tae Memory of a BIov ed Dl - viae That Will B VigoroasUr'a'aMntea:. Bishop Simpson's Testimony. Philadelphia Sunday Mercury. The Cooper machine committee has been guilty of several asinine moves since it took down its shutters and opened its shop for' business, but the one that most merits'condemnation is the wilful and un manly attempt to besmirch the character of the father of Candidate Pattison, who ere this has been " gathered to his fathers." It is sometimes safe to attack a dead man, and sometimes it is not. Where the dead man has friends who hold his memory in sacred remembrance and are able to defend it, and where the dead man, too, leaves behind him so large a constituency as did the ,Rev. Robert H. Pattison, such a proceeding is most impolitic. The Cooper machine com mittee, in its anxiety to get in a blow at the Democratic candidate for gov ernor, its arsenal being painfully bare of ammunition, strikes at him over the grave of his father. It accuses the father of cherishing disunion and southern senti ments during the late "war between the states." Then, to follow a line of logic, it implies that the father, being a rebel sympathizer, so mast the son. Only an Ohio man would attempt so blind a folly in a city and state where the union record of the Rev. Dr. Pattison is so-widely kuown and so well established. At the breaking ont of the war the Philadelphia annual conference, of which the Rev. Pat tison was a distinguished member, and of which he was the secretary for a round ot years, was held at old St. George's church, in this city. Strong Union resolutions were offered, which were supported by Mr. Pattison. They passed, as did one also that the mem bers of the conference practically exhibit their devotion to the union cause by tak ing tho oath of allegiance The published repoitsofthe proceedings of that body show that tho confeience inarched in a body to the office of the mayor, and there took that oath. In the pulpit as well as out of it, Mr. Pattison is lemembered as an enthusiastic supporter of tho federal arms. Again, at the time of Lee's inva sion of Pennsylvania, the Methodist preachers of the city, including Mr. Patti Mn, resolved at one of their weekly meet ings, held in tho Union church, on Fourth street, to offer theis services to Governor Curtis to repel the rebel advance. Subse quently the patriotic father of the Demo cratic candidate appeared, fully equipped aud waving a Union nag. It seems that the servicos of tho fighting preachers were noc accepted, but this did not deter Mr. Pattison from going to tho racinorablo tield.of Gettysburg, .-.where he adminis tered to the sick, couifoited the dyiug and made himself useful in a hundred ways to Meade's army. He was also au active promoter of tho Christian commission. KKl'UIILlCArt TESTIMONY. Bishop Simpson's Kalogy of the Kev. Dr. 1 Paulson, Altoouu Times. Bishop Simpson, who seldom wavers in his support of the Ropublicau party, and who stood high iu tho counsels of the Grant administration, in his " Cyclope dia of Methodism," bears this testimony of the late Dr. Pattison : Robert II. Pattison, D. D., of the Phil adelphia confereuco of tho M. . church, was born in Cambridge, Md., January 22, 1824. He was converted at the age of ten years, and at fourteen ho entered the pre paratory department of Dickinsou college. He graduated iu 1813 ; taught for two yeais at Baltimore, and entered the Phil adelphia conference iu 184G. He filled a number of prominent appointments in Philadelphia and elsewhere, aud was also presiding elder of tho Harrisburg district. In 1858 ho was chosen secretary of tho conference, and continued to hold that office until his death. In 1868 ho was a delegate to tho general conference, aud was one of its assistant secretaries. He was for several yens a member of tho foreign missionary board, and wss con nected with the various organizations of tho Philadelphia conference. ' Dr. Pat tison was a good man, a truo Methodist, a faithful pastor, an accepted and earnest preacher, and a Clnistian gentlemen, whom to know was to esteem and love." There is no hint of disloyalty in the above agamsS tho father of the Democratic candidate. In fact, ho could not havo been so highly honored by the Philadel phia conference had ho bt.cn "a Maryland secessionist." Dr. E. C. Stockton, of this city, was a member of Dr. Pattison's Twelfth sticct church iu Philadelphia for three years, and declares that his pastor was one of the most lovable men ho ever knew, and that ho was thoroughly loyal to his country in the great struggle for its life. Ho also says ho has kuown tho Democratic candidate from tho time ho was a mere child, and though not identi fied with any party, yet if he was in Phila delphia ho would vote for Robert E. Pat ti son for governor. Burrowing into the grave of an honor able man to subserve partisan purpose is iniamous, ana alike an insult to every Methodist and to a church that had no rival in its devotion to jthe Union cause during the gieit rebellion. The cider Pattison was not only a loyal man and a Christiau gen tleman, but ho was liberal in his religious. Views. Ho was not afraid to intrust the legal education of his sou iu the hands of that eminent jurist, Lewis C. Cassidy, esq., a Roman Catholic, aud his toleration contrasts in tho faiiest light with that of General Beaver, the candidate of the Camerons for governor. Tho late Kev. Thomas M. Reese, about three weeks be fore he died, in discussing the probabilities of Boaver's nomination, declared that though he was a Republican in the strictest sense, yet "ho would voto for tho bitter est Democrat in the state before ho would vote for Beaver." Mr. Reese was presid ing elder of the Altoona district for four years ; had his residence in Bellefonte, and had ample opportunities for studying the character of General Beaver and learning the liberality of his religious views and methods. Ho said that Beaver, as president of tho Y. M. C. Association, was " one of tho most bigoted men iu the state," and in bis official relation ignored the members of other denominations be longing to the association in favor of those holding his own religious views. The Times does not refer to this matter for the sake of partisan ends. It does not believe in dragging any man's religion into politics, but is fully justified in citing this incident, by way of contrast; in de fence of agroBsly calumniated dead mau.

The IHseaso which Prevails Among Snine In Hfrks Uouuty. The disease which has carried off so many swine iu Shocmakcrsviile aud vicin ity has excited alai in among tho farmers of Berks county. Forty valuable hogs have died, eighty in all are sick and the disorder is on the increase. The disease is supposed to bo what is commonly known as " hog cholera," ' purple blue disease," etc., and is a contagious inflammation of the lungs and bowels, accompanied with purplo and red blotches en the skin. The animal at first is dull, looses his appetito, lies down aud moves unwillingly. He hangs his head and sometimes make efforts to vomit. Tho bowels at this time are generally constipated. Iu a few days the characteristic symptom of the disease shows itself. This cousists in the appear nice of dark red or purplo blotches pass ing into a uiuisu black color about the cars, throat, neck, breast and insidoofthe forelegs. If tho afflicted hog is a white one the discolorations aro plainly visible. Soon his breathing becomes labored, ho is pal sied in his hind quarters, and if he is driven runs with his hind legs reeling and his head dropped to the ground. At this stage a fetid diarrhosa sometimes sets in. Tho fatal termination is reached sometimes in a fow days, but generally in a few weeks.
