Gould Given Adrice.
The English magnate in telegraphic
affairs, John Pondir, who has been in
this country lately viewing its tele
graphic sjstem, is said to have given
some excellent advice to Mr. Jay Gould,
before he left our shores. It was rela
tive to the management of the Western
Union telegraph company which is under
Gould's control. Mr. Pondir was invited
to enter into the direction of the com
pany, but has not as yet signiQed his de
sire to do so. What lie told Mr. Gould
was that he should make it his endeavor
to conduct the affairs of the telegraph
company honestly and in the public in
terest. " You have made money enough
to satisfy any one's desire," is what
Pondir said in substance to Gould, "and
now it would be expedient for you to
try to get a good reputation." The
words were words of wisdom. Mr.
Gould, having a great deal of money
and no reputation to speak of, would
certainly do well to bend his energies
towards remedying his deficiency. Hut
probably his misfortune is that hi"? talent
does not run in that line. Very few peo
ple have distinguished talent In every
direction ; and the millionaires of tlie
country who have made their millions
by thimblerigging their fellow-men
in stock gambling transactions may be
supposed to be generally very deficient
in the qualities which go to make up the
respectable citizen. A man certainly
cannot be honest and respectable at the
same time that he is dishonest and dis
reputable ; it is possible that at different
periods of iiis lif.. he may appear
in these different aspects to his
fellow-citizens ; but it is not very pro
bable. The leopard cannot change his
spots and the wicked man cannot much
more readily shake off the confirmed
habits of years and appear before the
world in the white robes of innocence.
We have heard of a reformed cracksman
who divided the proceeds of a bank rob
liery with the bank he robbed, and hav
ing thuspurchased immunity from prose
cution, settled down to enjoy his share of
the spoils amid his fellow-citizens, and
who ever afterward lived a blameless life.
If Mr. Jay Gould has this versatility of
character, Mr. Pondir's advice to him
may bear fiuit, and it is possible that
we may some day become so much en
amored of his goodness and benevolence
that we will want to elect him to
the presidency; though if he has
any such high ambition perhaps
it would be just as well for
him to postpone his regeneration until
after he is elected and has served
his term, since it seems not to be the
thing just now to have an honest man
and a gentleman in the presidential
office. Mr. Gould is quite eligible just
as he is. Inreilecting upon Mr. Pondh's
advice it must bo quite difficult for Mr.
Gould to make up his mind as to the
propriety of following it. The question
being witli him as to whether it will pay,
the considerations to be contemplated
make the decision very difficult. Per
haps if Mr. Gould goes away in that
steam yacht of his for a voyage around
the world, he may be able to conclude be
fore he gets home whether it will satisfy
his ambition better to go on stealing or
to quit his trade and undertake to be re
spectable. Our own advice would be to
him to stick to his last. He is too old to
make the prospect flattering for the suc
cess of his new departure. It would, no
doubt, le very nice for men who want to
be rich and respectable, but rich anyway,
if they conld bo permitted to devote
half of their life to tho attain
ment of wealth in all manner
of disreputable ways, and the other half
to the acquirement of tho esteem of their
fellow men and a seat in Heaven. A
great many try it but few succeed. They
may dispense a good percentage of their
booty in charity, but they cannot make
its acquirement reputable by any such
reputable disposition of it. They may
live in great houses and be made famous
by the newspapers ; but they cannot en
ter the company ot the elect.
Mr. John Pondir was a prudent man
in not at present trusting himself in Mr.
Gould's association in tho Western
Union. He wants to see the result of
his advice and whether it is indeed pos
sible for his pupil to be honest. He will
wait awhile.
Useless Efforts.
There is no doubt that whatever stim
ulation can be given by machine meth
ods to the machine Republican ticket
will .be administered to it ; whatever
money can do, and agents bought by
money, will be done. By these methods
many a campaign has been won, and
those who have so often been suc
cessful with theni are loth to believe that
the case they arc now treating is beyond
their efficacy, as it certainly is. There
is but a certain number of men who can
be bought and but a certain proportion
of fraud that can be successful. Tbo
votes needed to be obtained in this way
in this election to make Beaver governor
are too many, and no apprehension nesd
be felt that they will be got.
The old device of providing a belting
fund is being freely used, and men are
found who are willing to wager even
money on Beaver's success. The fact
that his chance is nowhere considered to
be anything like an even one, is suffi
cient proof that these men, if they are
ordinarily sensible people, arc not offer
ing their own money, but are simply
the agents of a corruption fund.
Our local colums tell of the theft of a
collector's tax receipts, which are found
to be in the hands of the machine Re
publican agents ; a circumstance which
shows the characteristic methods they
will be free to employ. We are advised,
too, of the issuing of a circular
to the iiensioners of the. United States
demanding their votes for Beaver to
save their pensions ; another device,
showing the quality of tho work done
for tho machine ticket.
All of these tricks will be vigilantly
watched, ineffective though they will be.
Their exposure will lose more votes for
Beaver than they will make for him.
This is not a itood time to be caught at
cheating ; public sentiment is not kind

Washington departments, charged to
Virginia, has been assessed $45 by
Mahone, and she has been referred
toMahoneby her department chief to
whom she went to know whether she
must pay. He thought that Mahone, if
he knew she was a widow with a
family and needed all her income,
would not be required by Mahone to
pay up, and he even ventured so far as
to decare that it would be a shame if
she should. But think of a government
clerk being referred to the Virginia
senator's mercy to save her situation and
her money ! If that is not a scandalous
exposure of the delegation by the presi
dent of the United States of his au
thority, we know not what it is.
TnE Lancaster Democracy are preparing
to give the next governor a rousing re
ception. Pattison will bo here to-morrow.
Has Governor Hoyt heard the loud call
that is made on him to speak what lie
thinks about Senator Cameron in general
and the present campaign in particular?
Cautious and farsigbtcd Republicans
havo already engaged pxssagc on the boat
that is to bear them up Salt River next
week. There will be a rush and a crush
after tho returns come in.
Republican outcry was raised at tho
alleged shrinkage in values of $40,000,000
after tho Ohio election. Since that elec
tion tho advance in corn and wheat has
amounted to nearly $'200,000,000. Hero is
a wido Mold for Republican comment.
Candidate Beaveh, in a speech at
Chambersburjr, Saturday night, de
clared that "one hundred thousand
full grown men in tho Republi
can party wera running away from
one man, Don Cameron." Was this ad
mission of the Independent strength in
tho state an inadvertence on the part of
tho Stalwai t candidate ?
Tueue is such a thing as carrying par
tiznn malignity too far. The veuonvdis
tilling Philadelphia Bulletin attempts to
main) capital out of tho exploded " Mc's
and OV story by claiming that Pattison
ha;; never mado an affidavit of denial. Mr.
I'.ittisou has denied this bare charge over
his own j gnnluro and the files of four
of tbo most reputable dailies of Philadel
phia hivo been looked through aud no
such r.'inark as alleged has been found in
the repoit of the speech as delivered. To
keep tho silly story )n circulation on the
solo technical groii'.d that an affidavit of
denial has never been made is an exhibi
tion of partisan unfairness of which only
the mostdi'-ropiitab-e bos orgaus couldbo
guilty.
' ' The abolition of unnecessary offices'!
the reduction of the number of public de
pendents, tho narrowing of responsibility
aud economy in the public expense, con
stitute an urgent and practical reform.
This would be a substantial benefit to tho
people. To lessen tho cost of government
lightens the burdens of labor. The authors
aud abettors of tho evils under which the
people sutler arc now on thoir trial in this
commonwealth. After a long steward
ship they will bo judged by deeds and not
by declarations. Professions are easily
made ; but tho people havo been fed on
such dry husks so long that they have re
solved to deterraiuo who shall bo their
servants, not by what is promised for tho
future, but by what has been douo in tho
past." From PattiorCs Commonwealth
Club Speeeli.
The closing week of tho campaign finds
tho Republican ranks iu tho last ditch of
demoralization, whilst the Democrats,
nniteil and confident, aro moving forward
with steady and resistless tread. There is
absolutely nothing to shako the belief
in Pattison's olectiou by an overwhelming
majority. From this time forward tho
watchword must be " organization." Tho
enemy will spare no effort to weaken tho
Democratic column, and if possiblo detect
vulnerable joints iu tho line. All that
money and baso decoit cau accomplish will
be invoked 'by the desperate Stalwart
bosses and their willing henchmen. It is
needless to say their machinations will ba
powerless if the Democrats keep their
eyes wide open and maintain a sharp look
out upou thoir immediate neighborhoods.
See that your Democratic neighbor is pro
vided with the full ticket, state, judiciary,
and county ; if ho bo infirm and unablo to
walk to tho polls, don't neglect to notify
your ward or district committeeman, so
that provision may bo made to have him
conveyed to tho place of voting, whero ho
may deposit his ballot in the interest ot
honest government and reform. It is tho
little points that require looking after, and
with these properly regulated tho big
ones will take care of themselves. From
now on to the day of election let there bo
no abatement of Democratic activity.
Great results are achieved only by earnest
effort. The paity was never in better
condition for an overwhelming triumph.
Bring out the Democratic vote, and
naught cau slay the uoodtide that is
pre-
paring to sweop from Lake Erie to
Delaware and establish a Democratic
ministration in Pennsylvania for the
time iu nearly a quarter of a century.

PATTISON IN THE "WEST.
ENTHUSIASM AEX ALONG THIS LINE,
flow tbo Democratic Candidate Was Re
ceived la Ills Trip Across tbe State
A Monktor Meeting at Pittsburgh.
Democratic cuthusiasm, like the pro
verbial Star of Empire, seems to havo
taken a westward courso this year. At
least it has been the experienco of the
Pattison campaign party that interest
grows and enthusiasm multiplies as thay
I approach the Ohio line. The recent ver
dict of tho people oi tuat state may in
some manner account for that fact, but
tho uprising suggests that Western Penn
sylvania Democrats are taking a hand in
this election on their own account and
that while Ohio has stimulated it has not
furnished tho prime reason for it. Cam
bria, Westmoreland, part of Fayette and
the south part of AUogheny counties tra
versed Saturday aud at all points the samo
feeling prevailed. In Westmoreland
every body expects a Democratic mooting
to bo a sort of general holiday affair, but
after a thunder-storm of considerable
severity and a drizzling rain that continued
tho most sanguine oould not havo anti
cipated tho vast crowd that assembled at
Groensbunr. The subsequent meeting at
Connellsville drew the south section of the
county to that point as tho most conven
ient, but nevertheless tho streets were
crowded to excess and tho court house
has seldom bald a moro densely-packed or
earnest audience than that which greeted
tho candidates for governor and lieutenant
governor and their associate campaigners.
The party left Altoona Saturday morn
ing aud crossed tho mountain in a rain.
They stopped at Johnstown on No. 1
train and they wore met by a very largo
number of people. At Deny station a
committee, headed by J. L. Toner, got on
board to attend tho Groensburg meeting,
and at Latrobo Captain Jacob Boiror and
hosts of others were added. Greousburg
was alive. Tho park arouud tho station
presented au iuterostiug spectacle. Gon
cral Richard Coulter, tho famous "Fight
ing Dick," with his rheumatic arm in a
sling; cx-Licutcnant Governor John Latte,
ex-Congressman J. Turney, chairman of tho
county committee ; John H. Kooutz, sheriff
of Kettering, and many other leading
party representatives wero iu waiting with
carriagos and bands to escort the visitors
to tho hotels. Time pressed and this was
soon accomplished. After dinner tho meet
ing was organized and it was a monster
demonstration. Controller Pattison spoko
for half au hour with eloquent earnestness,
and was followed by Chauncy F. Black.
Black was almost on his nativo heath and
among the old Westmoreland Democrats.
A kinded spirit inspired him to his best
efforts and his speech was ono of the most
effective of the campaign. Senator Gor
don, after repeated calls, won rounds of
applause for his eloquent sentences, and
though Chairman Hensol was called for
loudly and long he forebore to speak, and
tho timo allotted to tho meeting having
expired an adjournment followed, and tbe
visitors wero driven to tho train for Con
nellsville. The trip through tho coke regions was
one of absorbing interest. Evidences of
thrift and industry wero observable on
every hand. At Seatdalo a largo crowd
was in waiting and the candidate, for gov
ernor spoke briefly. Mr. Black bad only
timo to thank the audience when the
journey was resumed and in brief timo the
end was reached. In all the journey
through the state no placo bad extended
a more hearty welcomo than this contra of
tho coke industry. A carriago drawn by
four white horses, handsomely decorated
with buntinir. was iu readiness to receive
Mr. Pattison and a procession fully a
qnarter of a mile long, headed by a band,
served as an escort. Only fifteen minutes
wero allowed, however, and no time was
wasted in preliminaries. Tho vast crowd
gathered iu front of tho hotel and Mr.
Pattison was introduced. Ho spoko intel
ligently of the great industry iu which
this community was interested, ani h.s
evident familiarity with tho subject won
hearty commondations. 3Ir. Black was
equally happy in his remarks, and the
good opinions of tho pooplo of the county,
in which many years of his life were spout,
were vastly strengthened.
A special train on the Baltimore & Ohio
road convoyed tho party to Pittsburgh.
Tho distanco is 58 milce, but it was cover
ed in ono hour and fifteen minutes. At
"West Newton a five minutes stop was
made, and both Pattison and Black bowed
their acknowledgments and on they flow.
Tho ovent of tho trip occurred at Guffey's
Station. Ex-Sheriff John Guffoy and tho
Clarion county oil operator, his brother
James, met tho party at Altoona aud jour
noyed with them throughout tho day. Be
fore the station was reached these gentle
men suggested a stop for lunch, and when
tbe train stopped tho old homestead of
that substantial old family was ablazo with
illumination. A hearty welcomo was ex
tended aud tho fifty occupants of tho car
were soon seated around a table laden
with good cheer. This is a historic house.
For half a century it was famous as a
summer hotel and during that period was
the stopping placo of many illlustricus
people. Some years ago the hotel was
abandoned, and it is now a private rcsi
denco. In 1803, while a Republican deto
nation was passing on a train for U nion-
town. a Democratic banner excited thoir
enmity. Tbe train was stopped aud au
attack was made on tho houso, which was
occupied by ono young man and two
ladies. They repelled tho assault with
what strength they could and a vigorous
fight ensued. Subsequently six of tho
attacking party wero convicted of assault
ing the house, but they had pardons pro.
viously procured in their pockets. In en
tertaining tho Democratic candidates the
amiable hostess was in gonial occupation,
and in disposing of her amplo spread tho
candidates and others were equally happy.
At McKcesport thousands of pcrsous
were in waiting and a fivo minutes' stop
had to satisfy them. At Bradford there
was tne same experience, no otucr stop
was mado until tho tram steamed into
Pittsburgh, where thousands were in wait
ing at tho station to welcome tho candi
dates. Tho meeting there was a surprise
to every ono. witnout enort such a
gathering has not been witnessed sinco
the presidential contest. A stieet parade
brought l,ouo men into lino and the old
City hall was crowded to its utmost
capacity. James H. Hopkins presided
and Mr. Guthrie, Colonel J. P. Barr, R.
P. Birkiuson, Mr. Reardon, candidate for
ceuator ; O. Beldon and other prominent
leaders occupied seats on tbo platform.
Thousands of people were turned away
from the door and Chairman Brcnnan has
had his hands full in explaining to those
unable to gain admission that no larger
hall could be procured.
The Sixteenth ward Pattison Gleo club
sang selections, to begin with, and tho
bands played on all sides. A. L. Brand -age,
of Wilkesbarre, and D. J. McCarthy,
who recently exposed tho tricks of Cam
eron in Luzorne, were there, and, taking it
altogether, tho Democracy of Pittsburgh
had a great day. Mr. Pattison was tho
first speaker, and ho occupied ovor an hour
in tho delivery of an address that boro
evidence of careful consideration. Ho
was applauded at several strong points.
Chauncoy F. Black followed and received
a response that equaled that accoido.1 tho
head of tho ticket. Georgo M. Dallas, on
his native soil, spoko with earnestness and
oloquence, and Reed, Carrigan and others
followed briefly.
Chairman House! spoko at Grecnsburg
to an immense audience, and P. F. Devir
and Charles F. McKenna entertained the
crowd at Connellsville. AH this indicates
that the Democracy of Western Penn-
sylvania is wide awake and the best results

Destruction or a Fall River rrlnt Mill.
The Flint mill at Fall River, Mass,
caught fire on Saturday afternoon from a
belt in the packer room, and the flames
spread rapidly through tbe whole building
which was a total lois. Tho mill was a
magnificent structure of granite, five
stories high, built in 1872, aud constructed
and equipped at a cost of over $800,000.
The main building was :JO0 feet long by 94
feet wide. There is an insurance amount
ing to $020,000, all in mutual companies
in Boston, Providenco and Fall River.
The mill had a capital of $000,000 and a
largo amount of the stock was held by men
who can ill afford to loso it. The total
number of stockholders is nearly 200.
Tho mill employed 500 bauds and had
nearly 50,000 spiudlcs, aud had an aunual
production of 13,000,000 pieces of print
cloths.
The ruins of tho mill aro still burning.
Of tho main mill only tho lower sides and
part of tho south end rcmaiu, and portions
of theso will fall. Of the picker house iu
the roar the upper two stories aro gone ;
the lower story, ou whioh is tho ongino
and boiler room, is comparatively unin
jurod. All tho machinery lies iu tho
basement among a mass of burning
debris. Thero was a defective water sup
ply, caused by tho smallncss of tho sorvice
pipes of tho water works. In one cud of
tho mill was a tauk containing twenty
barrels of oil and at- tho other a vessel
tilled with a large quantity of naptba. but
strangely neither of thorn exploded, al
though covered with a burning mass and
exposed for hours to tho most inteuso
heat.

an improper and dangerous manner, and
that there was no oxcuso for his negli
gence. Tho commissioners repeat their
recommendation that a system of rules
for operating tho yard bo adopted, by
which the management shall govern tho
working of all roads therein.

A DEADLY MISSILE-
ATTEMPTING TO BLOW IIP A FAMILY.
Tbe Infernal Macblne That Cane Flying
Into tbe Window or Aagnst Uoebel-a
Uenidence A Devilish Heed.
August Gockel, a tailor, together with
his wife, two children and mother-in-law,
reside at 1005 Ntctariuo street, Philadel
phia. On Friday night ho was sitting on
a tablo in the second story, near the front
windows, working at his trade. Shortly
before 10 o'clock he was startled by &
crash of the window iu front of him, aud
still another crash of tho swinging, coal
oil lamp hanging near his head. Bewild
ered and in darkness, tho ilame of .the
laniD having been extinguished by the
last crash which he hcaid, he made his
way to tho door. Here ho was met by his
wife aud children, who, hearing the noise,
had run up stairs from the lower floor.
While thus grouped at tha hoad of the
landing, a loud report was hoard almost
at their feet, but, beyond the shock oauscd
by the report, no injury resulted to them.
Upon examination a piece of lead pipe,
about six iiiuhcs long aud covered with
oilcloth, was found on tho floor, which
had been corked at ono ond aud tho other
had contained a fuse. This was tbo mis
sile which had been hurled through tho
window. As tho fuse burned short tho
missilo wan discharged, fortunately in a
direction at right angles with the family
standing in tho doorway, and doing them
no harm. On tho oast wall of tho rocm
wore found marks oi" the deadly force of
the contents of the missilo, aud on the
floor lay loaded bullets, pieces of iron and
fragmonts of black glass with which it had
been charged.
Mr. Goekel, with these evidences befoie
him, was satisfied that au attempt had
been made to destroy himself and family,
aud ho reported tho matter to Lieutenant
Smith, of tho Eighth police district, who
detailed Special ORisur llniimau to inves
tigate tho case. Tho officer at onco re
collected that, soveral yoars ago, a Ger-
niau had ottered $25 to 'ascertain the
whereabouts of his wife, who ho said,
had deserted him. aud gone to live with
his daughter, Emina Goekel. After
consulting with the latter, Hoffman con
cluded that tho outrage had' boon commit
ted by Gookel's fathor-iii-law, Caspar
Younger, and on Saturday afternoon the
latter was arrested at tho house of Mr.
Moheback, a milk dealer, at Twenty-seventh
street and West College avenue,

Younger was taken up to tho police sta
tion aud locked up. Upon a search of tho
stable, whero Younger slept, some lead
piija similar to that of which the missile
was made, a number of bullets similar to
those found in tbo room, a pieco of fuso a
yard long, a lot of black glass aud a re
volver were found in a box bolongiug to
Younger. The officers then began a search
fcr witucfsjsof the throwing of the deadly
missile or of the presence of Youuger
in the neighborhood at tho timo it
was thrown through Gotkel's window. A
man living noxt door, it is stated, saw a
person resembling tho prisoner standing
on tho opposito side of the street a few
minutes before ho beard the explosion, and
two women say that they saw a man ' re
sembling Youuger's build " ruu up Ncc
tarino street toward Eleventh. Other
evidence was aho procured strongly im
plicating the arrested man. Younger de
nies that he threw the missilo iu tho win
dow, but admits that the articles found iu
tho box belong to him.
Goekel and his family, including his
mother-in-law, camo to Philadelphia from
Baltimore in Maich of last year to escape,
it is said, Younger' s persecutions and tho
ill treatment of bis wife. At the time they
left Baltimore Younger was serving a
term of six mouths in prison in that city,
for attempting to kill his wife. Ho had
also been under arrest for robbery pre
viously, but had escaped from prison by
leaping from a second story window.
Upon the cxpiratiou of his last term of
imprisonment ho followed the family to
Philadelphia, and, having found thoir
rcsidenco, the attempt on their lives on
Friday night last followed.

Tho propriety of tho decision of tho
chairman of tho state committco of the
Republican, Democratic, Independent Ro
publican aud National Greenback-Labor
parlies, that tho names of tho candidates
for congrcssman-atlargo should bo placed
upon tho county tickot, was dibcusscd
Saturday iu the old quarter sessions court
in Philadelphia before Jndgcs Hare
and Elcock. Tho decision of tho chair
man was based mainly upon tho act
of March SO, 18GG which directs
that " ono ticket shall embrace tho names
of all judges of courts voted for, and to bo
labeled outsido ' Judiciary ;' ono ticket
shall embrace the names of all state offi
cers voted for and bo labeled ' State ;' ono
ticket shall embrace tho names of all
county officers voted for, including offico
of senator, member or members of As
sembly if voted for, and members of Con
gress if voted for, and bo labeled ' Coun
ty.' "' This decision was reached
on the 13th of tho present month
and upon hearing o( it a few days later.
Colonel Win. McMichacl, tho Independent
candidate, wrote to I D. McKeo, the chair
man of the Independent Republican state
committco, objecting to tho printing of his
namo upon tho county .tickets, as many of
them wore objcctiouablo, aud ho would
become "an indorscr of boss county
tickets." Following this letter Mr. McKee,
with tho approval of his advisory commit
tee, sought tho opinion of counsel upon
the subject, and secured au opinion from
Messrs. Georgo W. Biddlo, Georgo Lear
and R. O. McMurtie, stating that " with
reference to tho question of what is the
proper ticket on which congressman-at -large
is to bo voted for, wo aro of tho opin
ion that tho ticket labeled county is tho
ticket on which tho namo of congressman-at-Iargo
to bo voted for should be placed."
Still dissatisfied with this Colonel Mc
Michacl retained counsel, and notices hav
ing been served upon Chairman Cooper,
nensel and McKeo, ho applied to tho
court for a judicial decision of the ques
tion. Mr. Francis A. Lowis, Colonel McMich
ael's counsol, argued that the act of 18CG
wai modified, and to a certain extent re
pealed, by acts of 1SG9 and 1874, and that
as the candidates for congrcssman-at-large
wero to bo voted for by all the voters
of tho state, the offico was a quasi state
offico, and tho names should bo printed
upon tho state ticket. This view was op
posed by George W. Biddle, esq., repre
senting Mr. McKee, and Colonel Win. B.
Mann, representing tho regular Republi
can committco.
John Cadwallador, who was present with
Chairman Harrity of tho city committee,
stated to the court that in the absence of
Chairman Honsel he was authorized to
state that the Democratic committee was
satisfied of the correctness of tbo decision
reached at tho conference of chairmen and
took no interest in the present proceed
ings. Upon tho conclusion of the argument
Judge Haro said that tho court had no
jurisdiction to consider tho matter in tho
strict technical sense of the word, but that
they wero willing to express an opinion
which might serve as a guide but would
still leave all parties free to follow their
own view of the law and could not be
quoted hereafter as a precedent or author
ity. Ho thought that the act of 18GG was
still in force, and that the phrase " mem
ber of Congress " was broad enough to
cover any member of Congress, whether
cl"?pd in tho usual way or at large. Ho
did not think it advisable that any change
should be made in the arrangement entered
into.
Wlw Is Mr. Pattison f"
For the IxTiuaaxxcBK. .
This question, which is about equivalent
to " who struck Billy Patterson?" is now
tho burden of Republican inquiry ;aud as
the individual who was so anxious to find
out who struck Billy Patterson, very
beautifully " backed down" after he made
tho discovery, it is altogether probable
H,t tha iiW nf November may reveal who
w- iit;nn ; tn the discomfiture of
those who mako tho belittling inquiry.
Under any circumstances, it seems to havo
bceu au ominous question, aud in times
past, has beeu auswored disastrously to
the party arrayed against the Democracy
of tho country. Iu 1844 the question was
gneoringly asked, " Who is James n.
Polk ?" that ho should be pitted against
ono so distinguished as Henry Clay the
Mill Boy or the Slashes" tbe " Farmer
of Ashland" tho " Western Statesman"
the " Father oi Compromise" the
"Champion of tho Amoncan System."
Well, it was found out that ho was also
the spirit of some other things which his
frionds carefully concealed. And tho ides
of November astonishiucly revealed who
James K. Polk was. It was a dreadful
revelation to Henry Clay's friends, ono
of whom vohoiacutly declared he
would " vote .for him as long as ho
lived, aud after his death ho would vote
for his executors." (That savored of
Orautium.) It took tho political starch out
of many au enthusiastic Whig. Again,
in 1852 the question was contemptuously
asked, " Who is Franklin Pierce ?" op
posed iu the presidential contest by Gen.
Wiufield Scott the "Hero ofLuudy's
Lane" tho " Conqueror of Mexico" the
lf Gcneral-iu-chief" of tho American
army. Again tho ides of November, by a
)Hpular verdict, auswered tho question.

such a coincidence may have, lhe
American government is a republic,
which authorizes no distinction in blood,
color or condition contrary to fundamental
law and the will of tho people. The faot
that Mr. Pattisou is au "auditor" is no
bar to his becoming a governor, it ho pos
sesses tho necessary qualifications and the
people will it so. Because a man is uot
known to fame, it docs not follow that ho
is a " mud-turtlo." Moreover, thero is a
distinction betweou fame and notoriety.
Somo men aro deemed famous, when in
faot they arc only notorious.
