THURSDAY ffVBNINO, MAR. 13, 10B4. Consistencies a Jewel.' Our eate.etncd contemporary, the JTcte Jira, cxpftetei) itself with much indlgna lien nt the (TUtrnKea perpetrated upon Heme of. Us political friends because of thelr "strong Byrapathles with James Q. Maine." It aeema that solely en this account one of them was defeated for school director in Went Lampeter; another in the name district " has had notice acrved en liim ;" In Peqtiea one ' who served acceptably for years, than whom the county never had a hotter director, and who was the cliolce of tbe better class of citizens, was compelled te Rive up his place simply because his views were net In accord with tbe wishes of a political faction which seeks te force n candidate of its own upon tbe people contrary te their wishes," and "in Maner township the same disreputable gnme Is being played." This systematic bulldozing of the victims, because they will net "yield their preferences for James G. Rlnine," leads the JVcte Era te declare! bat "politics bave no mere business in dictating that school direc tors shall be of tills or that faction than they have in the school curriculum itself. A school director is nene the better for being a Republican, and nene tbe werse for belug a Democrat." These nre fine sentiments, indeed, nnd it honestly expressed, would de credit te tbe head aud heart of our esteemed contemporary. We fear, however, that it will be suspected of dislngenueusness in the profession of them, and that its vlowef such mutters depends entirely upon whose ex is gored. Fer it is with in tbu memory of this generation that tbe JYcte Era has banded with the worst political thieve and cut threats in tbe count', te buy, bully aud beat their common ticket through, withholding its ceusure from its rascally allies and ten derly coddling them as long as they weie serving its purpes.s, nnd returning te old time abuse of them only atter they had quarreled, or when one had no mere use for the ether. If it Is true that men are beaten for school director, simply because they are for Ulaine, It is very reprehensible ; but net a whit mere se than the act of the Republican county commissioners and Republican school beards In awarding the collection of tax te the higher bidder and rejecting the lower bids, simply because the former was a Republican and the lewvt1 effcr came from a Deme crat. We have called the Xcw Era's attention te this state of things, and it has tin!, expressed the slightest indigna tien at this "political bulldozing " of men, "simply because they have the courage te assert their Ged-given man hood Dy a public expression of their political opinions." Aud then the New Era lias been hope lessly and pitifully inconsistent in de neunciug the FIU Jehn Perter relief bill as a measure only fit te be supported by tbose who would whitewash Uenedict Arneld, aud studiously concealing from its readers that its candidate for Con gress voted for tie lili, like n man. After all, wnat the nuti-Blalne men '! II1JUW fcW IIUVI'J'IIUIIU IUCII u charged with doing or trying te de in thcseverul townships of this county Is just what Blaine and hid friends did as seen ns they get Inte power, and would de again if they ever get the chance. There never was mere outrage eutrage outrage eus political bull-dozing than the dis placement of Merritt, as collector of the New Yerk pert with Robertsen. It was done in violation alike of geed faith and of what is called civil service reform. The incumbent wa3 net a Stalwart ; he had even been appointed against Cenk ling's wish ; but, in accordance with an understanding entered into between tlie Garfield t'dministrntieu and Conkling, PJatt, Janes and Arthur, by Garfield's direct authority, tlie collector was te re main uudlstmbcd Rlalne bulldozed Garfield into breaking his word and iute a gre3s violation of decency and truth as weJl as of civil service reform. Merritt was removed and Kobertnen appointed simply te pay one of Blaine's debts. The methedsef the man are as unscrupulous and as bull-dozing as these of any boss who lias ever figured in Americal poll tics ; and Ids fi lends should net Eque.tl because they are treated, in a small way dewii in the U.vai'iips, ti th.j same pro cesses which they admlnisteren a largir scale at every opportunity. Resides, if the RIalne sentiment is se evei weelmlng Jut his county ai represented, bowdeis it happen te be fatal te any ene te ( x picfH it in such Republican strongholds ns West Lampeter, Ptquea and Maner ? Wefcurtlie JVci'' Era lias been imposed upon again. het tlie bight Meri or Eloquence. Governer Rate, of Tennessee, Is ie ported te have " spoken eloquently," befoiellio Southern Immigration society new in session at Nashville, et the re sources of Tennessee, and toliave called upon the North te help develop them. It Is unfortuuate for tbe weight of Gov Gev Gov emer Rate's eloquent words that his deeds.and these of the people who electa! him, de net sustain the proclamation of the vast resources of Tennessee or lend encouragement te Neithern ambition t3 help their development. Tennessee lias been generally understood te be rich In her resources, and if her people's acts bad lent support te this impression, it would have been very well for the best interesta of the state. Rut the Legislature and governor of Tennessee, prompted by a majority of Its voters, have labored zealously and effectively te croate the belief that the auppesed resources of the state are net at all what they bave been imagined te be The state has resjlved that it will only pay a smull part of its public debt( because it cannot afford te py tlio'whelu of it. Thwvhete ?nyumta te only nbeut twenty flve million dollars, which is a very small sum for a state te hear which lias tbe resources of which Governer JJate eloquently speaks. It would be a me J era te debt for even a second class city. TonneMco recognizes the validity of her debt by her offer te pay half of it in thrce per cent, bends ; and when olio cut3 flown the principal ene-half nnd the Interest ene-half, thus practically offer ing te pay about twenty-flve cents en the dollar, she makes a fnrmore eloquent declaration than any which her governor can make or tlie sraalincss 01 iter re sources ; unless indeed she Intends te say that it is her honesty and net her re sources that is small; which can hardly be her purpose. If her people desiie te ndvertlse the rlehncss of their natural resources they will best de it by show lug that tiiey have both the ability and disposition te pay their debt. The capi tal they invite te their state will net be attracted te it by a demonstration of poverty or dishonesty.er both, such as Is evidenced in the repudiation a trilling aud justly binding state debt. Tin: Republican happy family In Phil adelphia Is net se happy as It was. The Prtfs, which howled for Smith for mayor, does net bowl for Smith for delegate te the Republican na tional convention. Notwithstanding Smith is the freshly anointed of the Philadelphia Republicans, Smith is net the man te represent them at CIdcage, the J'rrss illogically considers, but McMaues is. McManes is for Blaine nnd se is the 1'rcss. Quay is for Arthur and se is Smith. In the untoward result which se sudden ly rewards the efforts of the Prtss te elevate Smith as the leader of its party in Philadelphia, we extend te it our sympathy. As its chief aim is Ulaine, it is sad te sce this baetnerang, which it violently excited Itself te help te threw, coming back te strike it se hard below the belt.

Adjoining it was n graveyard. About daylight ene day in 1845 a farmer ou bis way te Pittsburg with n lead of meat, passing the grave yard, heard the sound of splitting timber. Curious te knew the cause, he alighted, quickly climbed the graveyard feuce and stelo along the directum of the sound. He bad goue but a short dlstauee when be discovered a man steeping in an excavated grave and In the act et lifting a body out of tbe coffin. The grave was that of a promlueut young woman who had bceu buried only the day bofero. The former was se filled with horror aud indignation that bofero the mau could spring out be seized a club that lay near and dealt him a powerful blew ou the head. The tuau ueithcr uttered a sound nor moved after falling. Tbe farmer became alarmed. Dropping into the grare bltusell he raised the grave rebber's body aud recognized tne sexton et me old cuurcn, a man who steed high In the community. Fearful of the cousequences the farmer hurried home, aud telling his lelatives of what had occurred nt ouce left the state. Only flve persons ever knew his secret. Who found the body of the sexton dead In tne grave was net known by them, but as it was given out that he died sud denly, and no investigation was ever raade and his family seen afterwards moved away, it was supposed by the flve in the secret that the body must have been din covered by sumo ene of the sexton's family, and that tbe evidences of bis crime were se plain that it was determined net te oxpeso it by making auy effort te ascertain hew be carne te bis death. The sexten's slayer went te a town in Ohie, where he became prominent aud wealthy, lie died last week, without his eccret becoming known even te his wlfe and children. The secret at the time of his death was In the custody of two per. sous only, all the rest of the flve having died. One of these persona is a leading preauher iu Allegheny, the ether is a rest dent of the oil regiens, A UhllJ HruUlly A.saalte.l. A speeial from Cornwall, Lebanon county, tells ofnneutrago committed upon a nine year-old daughter of a man named Berner by Frank Kicaddeu.

When the parents returned several hours later they found their bttle daughter lying ou a lounge very ill. When asked what wa wreug tbe peer girl at flratrefused te sav anvthine. for fear of I bsing killed by her ceusiu who committed the crlme She was, howevor, persuaded nuu hue gave a iuii account or ihe crim The alarm was immediately given and a party of citizens went in pursuit of Kls ciddeu.

In Robertsen county, q,lm twey flve tnlles f,em Springfield, uear the Re ,. lucky line, lived Jehn Martin, his wife, and threo children, two of thnin grown wemen. the ethor a boy of 13. Martin was in bis soventloth year and has lived In the neighborhood nearly bis ontlre life. Ile has eked out nmodcrate living en his farm, quletly doing his work, nnii havlug the lespcet of every ene. On Tuesday he returned from Nashville, where be went te procure the final noltleruout of his pension claim, having been wounded in the late war. It is pro pre Mimed that certain rough characters Jiving near Mnrtin's icsldonce le.wued of his trip te Nashville, nnd they planned nud oxeoutod a most horrible orlme. Mar tin s leg heuse was eltuated n quarter of a mlle from the Springtleld read. A heavy gtewth of cedars nnd titulerbrush hides the heuse from the low of Uie travelers en the man read. This Isolation prevented the tragedy from being discovered until Tuesday afternoon. A peddler who eaiue te the house gave the first alarm, aud the whele neighborhood wan aroused. The deer wan breken In ns if struck violently with nn nxe. This deer led Inte the main bedroom, where Martin and his wlfe slept. I he soene upeu entering the room beggars description. Martin wns dead upon the deer, his gray hair matted and soaked in a imeI or bleed. The head was split open in two places by blows from nn axe. the lorehoad was arushml. nmi n. eyes were forced from thelr BoekotH. Unon every side wero ovldeuoos of th, frightful struggle that must have taken place, rhe walls and tloer were bespat tered with bleed. Mrs. Martin must have been killed ns she started from the bed. Her arms wero broken nnd her face heirlbly mnngled by the blows of the axe. I he bed was a peel of bleed. The meKt pitiable sight was the little boy who occupied a trundle bed in this room. Lvideutly he had been takeu by ene of the murderers during the atruggle with the ethers and choked te denth. In the next room, whero the girls slept, everything udicated a meat desporate struggle for Ide. Lvideutly the murderers ndded a werse orlme te their misdeeds. The dis erdered clothing of the peer girls told plainer than words the outrages that had been perpetrated upon them. The assas sins crushed the xkulls of the two girls with the axe which was found upeu the deer omeared with bleed. It was a sick eniug sight, and overy ene that witnessed the sad spectao'e was full of tears. The heuse had been ransacked from ene end te the ether and tables and chairs wero evor turned. The ontire neighborhood wasshocked at the fearful sacritlce of human life. A con fusion of feet prints was feuud leading away Irem the heuse into the neighboring weeds. Search parties wero formed, and the country for miles nreuud was scoured ,i a,t?ce r 'he raurdorers. About 4 e clock Wednesday aftornoen a farm hand named Gcerge French was arrested by oue of the county constables upeu suspicion. Bleed was found upon his shoes and clothing.
