IN'TROM (TORY.
When a now journal appear* before
the public, custom seems to require a
few introductory word* of greeting to
it* reader*, a* well a* some in explan
ation of its hojics and purposes. At
this dawn of a new year and a new
enterprise we can give the first with
hourly feelings of good will ami good
cheer to every one. Of the second, it
may be a question whether the old
custom might not at this day be "more
honored in its breach tlmn in its ob
servance ?" Whether, iu short, it
would not he better by a new depart
ure, so to say, to permit the coming
candidate for |>opular favor to sjicak
for itself in its work, rather than ut
tempt through (lowing sentences to
excite extravagant expectations of its
merit* which may never be realised ?
Hut without departing entirely from
long established preeedeut, we shall
not be prodigal of promises of what
our journal is to be in the future. A
fcw plain, frank words upon our pres
ent motives and intentions are all that
we intend to utter.
We outer upou our duties, we trust,
with a full seuse of the grave respon
sibilities which journalism, considered
in its higher mid better attributes, im
poses u poii every one engaged in its
useful and far-reaching vocation, and
hope by the exercise of ever watchful
care, prudence and self respect not to
fall short of its weighty requirements.
In politics THE CENTRE DEMOCRAT
will give an earnest and consistent
support to the Democratic party. It
will be no mau's special organ, neither
shall it be the organ of any clique or
faction within the party. While it
will discuss all measures of public
policy with a free mind, it will look
to the authorized representatives of
the party for wholesome and states
manlike enunciations of principle and
worthy and capable selections of men
to fill public offices. For the success
of both it will battle honestly and un
tiringly in a sincere and deeply found
ed lielief that present methods of ad
ministration in .State and National
affairs are not only unsuited to the
present wants ami condition of our
people, but are demoralizing and vi
cious in example, and in every way
detrimental to the peace and prosjK-ri
ty of the country. The public nets
of public men the DEMOCRAT will re
gard as public property and frankly
praise or censure, as occasion may
demand. It will, however, indulge in
no mere wanton defamatory assaults
upon private character and [arson a I
integrity. %
Iu local contest* for nominations
the DEMOCRAT will take no part cither
for or against any candidate. It will
be ready at ail times to give to each a
respectful hearing and a fair presenta
tion of his claims; hut after nomina
tions are honestly mndo by the duly
chosen delegates of the people, acting
through their primary elections, it
shall insist that the fcrtunnte nominee
of the convention receive the united
and zealous support of the parly.
In our local and news columns will
always be found a full renunw. of the
passing event* of the times; while to
the important Educational, Agricul
tural, Manufacturing and General
Husiness interest* of Centre county we
shall always try to give that attention
which their value and magnitude
demand at the hands of a local jour
nal.
We shall desire pleasant and friend
ly intercourse with our neighbor* and
contemporaries of the pre**, and to.
that end expect to treat all with re
spect and courtesy, trusting that per
sonal controversy and acrimonious dis
cussion may thus be always avoided.
We shall studiously endeavor to keep
our columns pure in thought and ex
pression, and as we go forth on our
weekly round, freighted with current
news, instruction and entertainment,
we shall hope to come as an expected
and welcome visitor to the homes and
firesides of our patrons. With these
words we start forward on the mission
we have, marked out for ourselves and
our venture.
RESUMPTION practically begins to
day. The Treasury department states
It has coin amounting to $226,000,000
available for the purpose.
HILL KLSIMITIO.N' ItltlNfJ I'MOS.
FERITY I
Yesterday wus the day appointed by
law lor the government of the United
State* to commenoe, after an interrup
tion of ■eventecu years, to pay its obli
gations in coin. As yesterday was a
holiday throughout the United States,
and hanks and most other business plu
oes closed, resumption will, in fact, bo
inaugurated to-day. Will this event
bring the long ho|ed for prosperity to
our suffering country? From the ma
ny articles and squibs containod in the
newspupers which advocated an in
crease of pajier money, and op|XHcd a
resumption of specie payment, we in
fer that their authors understand the
advocates of sjiccie resumption to
claim, that this of itself, will bring
prosperity again to our land. It may
be true that some of the friends of the
policy of resumption have thoughtless
ly said it would bring back prosperity.
No intelligent, thinking man, ever did
contend or believe, that n return to
specie payment, of itself, would restore
prosperity to our impoverished coun
try. Wl.il eno lasting or substantial
prosperity could ever have been achiev
ed without resumption first taking
place, yet this alone will not remove
poverty or restore lost wealth. Whore
fore then its utility or necessity? Sim
ply that we may have a fixed and sub
stantial standard of values. When
what was called a dollar, was worth
one day forty cents, the next sixty
cents, and the third day fifty rents, as
was the condition of our paper money
in 1864, how could anyone buy or sell
with any certainty of profit, or even
with any loss ?
If n grain nierchnnt should buy and
sell wheat measured in an elastic bush
el measure, which sometimes would
hold fifty, and at other times seventy
pounds, it would be nu accident if his
business wa not ultimately ruinous.
It would certainly lie good advice to
that man, to throw away his elastic
measure, and take a fixed and certain
one. Hut who would say that by sim
ply doing this, he would ueccssarilv
prosper in his business? Having a
permanent and unvarying standard by
which to measure the quantity of grain
he bought and sold would be indis
pensable to success, but still his suc
cess would depend upon the labor,
eare, judgment, skill and economy
with which he managed his business;
and if lie failed to bring these elements
of success to hear, his business would
cud in bankruptcy, notwithstanding
he used a substantial and unvarying
bushel measure.
•S with the standard of value. A
fixed and determinate standard, not
depending upon the varying credit of
any individual, corporation or govern
ment, by which the value of all pro
perty real or pcrsonul, and all debts,
public and private, is to lie measured,
is indispensable to the prusperty of
any people ; but this alone, will not
supply the place of industry, prudence
and economy.
The present hard times and depress
ed condition of all kinds of business
arc the result of the poverty of our
people; this |>ovcrty wa* produced by
the watc and destruction of wealth
which took place during the war. No
thing hut industry, frugality and econ
omy can restore this wasted wealth.
No art of Congress, no fiat of the gov
ernment, no demagogue's panacea, ran
change poverty into wealth or bunincsa
depression into prosperity. If we of
this generation want to enjoy wealth,
we must obtain it ns our father* did,
by persevering industry and rigid
economy. We may hereafter elabo
rate this Subject further.
THE Chicago Time* says: "The
Democracy were never in Mich despe
rate -traits as at present." Just so.
But tbey may survive it. With a
clear majority in the popular branch
of the present and next Congress, a
prospective majority i,i the other
branch after the 4th of March, and
twenty-three democratic Governors in
the thirty-eight States, it looks un
healthy, but we may still hope the
country is safe.
Gov. liARTKAnrT is an applicant
for the Berlin Mission, made vacant
by the death of minister Bayard Tay
lor. It is believed that his chances of
success are not brilliant, and perhaps
were not promoted by the early inde
cent haste of sending a committee to
Washington to urge his appointment
the next day after the announcement
of the death of Mr. Taylor.
JAMKH (1. BLAINE.
No nmn in the country to-duy fill*
a more unenviable apace in the public
eye, thuu he whoso name head* thiit ar
ticle. For year* an acknowledged
leader in the Republican party, and
with abilities of the highest type, he
him miserably failed in reaching the
hearts of the great body of bin coun
trymen. That he is eminently popu
lar with a class no one will deny ; but
it is with a class whose fealty reflect*
but little honor. No man living has
had greater opportunities for inscri
bing his name among those the people
love, and of whom history makes hon
orable mention, and none have made
more fiascos. The Henutorahip was
con ferns I ujMin him by an idolatrous
constituency, as a cooling lotion for
the hideous wounds he received in the
house of his friends at Cincinnati.
Transferred from the scene of his tur
bulent triumphs in the House, to the
severe dignity and austere decorum of
the Senate, he took with him all the
purnphannlia of that w*tisational art
with which he Imd been wont to bedeck
himself while playing low comedy in
the lower branch of Congress. To this
muii there came no thought of added
responsibility or inspiration of enlight
ened statesmanship. His mind,cramp
ed within tiie narrow limits of ma
levolent partisanship, could not ex
puud enough to take in the whole
country as he arose, ostensibly, in the
interests of free elections and unfetter
ed citizenship, and addressed his fel
low tseuators a short time since. He
had no timely words of caution and ad
monition to murmur in the listening
ears of Senator Cameron, ns his finely
wrought |wriodn rung out in denuncia
tion of debauchery at elections. His
eyes did not rest for a moment, upon
the one time golden looks of the lordly
Conkling, as he nunthcinatia-d the in
timidation of honest voters at the {mils.
No, the Maine statesman was only
reaching South of that invisible line
from whence come democratic majori
ties. It wan only against that people
whom Mr. Blaine hate* for their poli
tical convictions, that the thunderbolts
of his w rath were directed. For weeks
it was given out that upon the assem
bling of Con grow the Muiue Senator
would take upon himself the task of
looking into the elections in the stale*
of the South, For weeks, the subser
vient press of Mr. Blaine's party rolled
the announcement a* a sweet morsel
under their tongues. An event so well
advertised could not fail to draw. Mr.
Mulligan's man understand* nothing if
he docs not know how to secure an au
dience. lie ha rare gifts in that line
that would make his fortune a* a thi-at
rical manager. Well, the thing is
over and the country breathe* again.
Mr. Blaine ha* frothed and heat the air
and no one is hurt. The great speech
so confidently promised ha* been spo
ken and is already forgotten. It wa
simply an old skeleton appropriately
costumed for the occasion and its un
sightliness decently concealed. By
courtesy'it is called Mr. Blaine's great
speech, but it was really a funeral dirge
in blankest verse, chanted by the Sen
ator over the loss of the colored vote
in the South. Exactly what leading
men in the Republican paity foretold
years ago has come to pass. The col
ored people of the South, finding all
their interests identical with those of
the white people, naturally act with
them politically and hence the howl.
The newly made citizens are fnr from
hcing what we would have them, but
they have arrived at a sufficient stage
of intellectual development to see that
the Republican |>arty is precisely the
party they want to let alone. They
have good memories, and the painful
recollection ola Frecdmen's Bank
rises up to confuse them. Again,
they remember with something akin
to regret the alluring promises of
forty acres of land and a mule.
These things, combined with a perfect
ly proper love for the people among
whom they were born and with whom
they must live, make the negro voter
of the South a Democrat. Now what
is Mr. Blaine going to do about it T
After much travail a committee has
been appointed after his model with
Senator Thurman's improvement and
we are to expect some kind of a re
port If there has been anything
done either North or South, to abridge
the freedom of the ballot let the
wrong doers be punished, but let this
committee look things squarely in the
face and make a report in accordance
with the fact* a* they find them with
out reference to Mr. Blaine's heated
imagination.
\V IIEN Congress re-assemble* next
week it in probable that Beerelary
Sherman will lie called before an in
vestigating committee to enlighten the
country upon the financial relation* of
the treasury department with the Firat
National Bank of New York. At the
end of the month of September last,
this pet Imnk bad forty-five million*
of dollar* belonging to the govern
ment in it* possession, and that it de
rived large profit* from the possession
of thi* enormous sum of money i* a
moral certainty. The bank bit* made
ft handsome speculation at the ex
pense of the government, and why it
should have bceu permitted to do *o
is one of the mutters which Mr. Sher
man will be exacted to explain, liis
attempted explanation* tbn* far have
been mainly evasion* of the issue
raised against him, and have signally
failed to conviucc any one thut he ha*
not been guilty of a great stretch of
authority in hi* dealings with the
bank. At all events, tin bunk has
bad a good thing of it.
LOOKING forward to the meeting of
the Htute Legislature next week, the
Timet make* an earnest appeal to the
business men of Philadelphia to de
mand the repeal of the act creating a
building cotniniiwion for that city, be
lieving that the work of completing
the public building* now under way
ran le more expeditiously and eco
nomically done by the proper city
authorities. The pro|Mitioi> of the
Timet may IK- all right, but we fear it
greatly miscalculate# the power of the
influences through which it ho|*-# to
bring it alnui!. It should know from
ja#t experience that Philadelphia bus
tnes* men have no right* that the aver
age Philadelphia legislator feci- him
self in any way bound to r>*|*rt.
SECRETARY F.VARTB L* said to 1
very successful in hi* imitations of the
majestic airs and lordly attitude* of
Ko*< *oe Conkling. It i* even reported
that on a recent occasion he set his
brother cabinet ministers and Mr.
Haves into n roar by one of these
inimitable exhibitions. But exactly
bow lank, long, angular mid ungainly
Mr. Kvarta con so completely Iran-
1 to suggest the slight
est Conkling, who ha*
a full, rotund physique and an ele
gnnt,graceful bearing, is what puudes
most people who have heard of this
wonderful feat of imitation. Kvarta
must have supernatural powers.
KKIM:I.I< AN newspaper* have dis
covered thai the democratic .State can
vasser* in Florida were obliged to
throw out the vote* of two counties, in
order to give Hull, democrat, a major
ity of thirteen over Bisbee, republican,
for Congress. lAt u* consider. We
have a faint recollection that about
two ynar* ago the republican State
canvasser* of Florida were obliged to
throw out several districts, change the
figure* in several others, and nlso
count several fraudulent returns, in
order to give Have*, republican, tlie
electoral voles of that State over Til
den, democrat, for President of the
Foiled States, after the jieopie had
decided by a handsome majority to
give them to the latter.
TIIK recent death of Bayard Taylor
has created a vacancy in the represen
tation of the United Slates at the Court
of Berlin which the administration
finds difficulty filling. Applicants for
the vacant place arc numerous, and no
douht persistent in pressing themselves
upon the attention of the appointing
power, hut no oue whose name has yet
ap|>eared in connection with the ap
pointment cau he said to possess, in
any degree, the peculiar qualities of
fitness nnd adaptability necessary to
make him a creditable sueeesso'r to
the dead poet and scholar.
IT is announced in the editorial
columns of the Philadelphia Preen, ap
parently hy authority, that " Hon.
Oalusha A. Grow desires it to be un
derstood that he is not a candidate for
the Berlin mission." Why does not
Mr. Grew at the same time announce
that be. is not a candidate for election
to the U. 8. Senate? His chances for
reaching the one place are just about
as good a* for capturing the other.
THK addn.O of Mr. Gepbart. the
retiring Chairman of the Democratic
County Committee, will appear in our
issue of next week. It has been una
voidably crowded out thit week by a
pre*i of other matter. . •

The Mhiton County Election ( ontest.
Ot-IMIOX or J COOK MATKK
In th matter of the petition of A. J.
to content the election of George
J. kldred to tbn Ilium of itcpreocritutivo#
Of I i-nna: On the <Jd day of I)oc<*t}ibefi
1878, A. J. (juigley presented his petition
to the Court, complaining of the undue
election and fal return of George J. El
dred a* a member of the House of Hepre
rentativoa, of I'.-nn., at the general election
held on the fab day of November Jal.
The petition is as follows :
"The |H-tilioii of the undersigned citizens
of said county of Clinton roj|>eotfully rep.
rewnl that they believe there was false re
turn of the election for the member of the
House of Representatives in said county,
the cause of complaint being **- follows, u,
wit: A largo number, to wit, forty or more
of the vote* polled in the Borough of Ren
ovofn said county for A. J. tfuigley, were
counted by the officers composing the
Election Board of said borough for Geo.
J. Kldred ; also illegal and fraudulent
votes, and that said count of tick-1* and
i lb-gal vote# were returned in favor of said
Kldred, thereby causing it to appear and
to bo d'tlar d thut tbo said Kldred was
elected, when in reality the said A. J.
Ouigley was elected. Your petitioners
therefore pray your lions, to compel the
attendance of the said election officers, and
such other je-rson# as are capable of testify
ing concerning the same, and aUo to com
|tci the production of ail books, paje-rs,
tally lists, tickets, ballot boxes and ail
other documents which may be required at
such hearing, and to make such other order
a may be neces-arv to the hearing and
determination of said case, as provided bv
law, and they will, &<•."
To ibis petition i appended the affidavit
of live of the petitioners in the statutory
form.
The petition wa ordered to be filed,
Dec. 11.1, I*7B, wa fixed for * tearing, and
(]u<- notice of the petition and time ol
bearing directed to be given u> Eldr-d.
'•n the day appointed for th<- tearing
Eldr-d moved the (Vurt to quah lti<- p--
tition, filing, infer n/m, tbo Inflowing ex
ception thereto:
"Tlial it doe# not appear that the pe
titioner# have any right to |*-liti"n tni
Court contenting the election of a M< mt>er
of the House of Representative# of the
General Assembly of Pennsylvania,or any
other officer, bec*UM the |e-tition don* not
aver that the petitioners or any ol tbern
are qualified elector# cf the county of
Clinton, who voted at the general election
held on the fifth day of November, A. It.
1878, or at anv other election."
On th nreomcnt of tli<' motion l quasb,
it wa* conceded by the tnunwl for lb* j*-
titi" rr that tlf- petition Jefwtivr, in
that it omitted to Mat* that the twenty
rltlzrnt who sigwd mid jwiition were
'Utahftrd rlrfOirt. To supply tK.e defect,
the contestant presented bin p-tition. al
leging that nil the signer* to hi* former
petition are qualified electors ofaid county,
who voted at the g. ii rai e|*t tien held on
the Sth day of November, A It. I**B.
The jurisdiction of the Court in election
ee-t i statutory, and a compliance with
the proviion of the statute mut appear
upon the face of -he proceeding*, in order
to give the Court jurisdiction. The Act
of May 19. 1874, under whirh these pro
ceedings were commenced, provide* that a
twtition such an thi, mu*l ie *ujnd by at
lent twenty ya7rierf r.'''or, accompanied
by an affidavit of at l<-at five of the jietl
tioner*. and must be presented within thirty
day* of the election complained of. A
(•etition i therefore insufficient which dor-*
not aet forth the*e prerequisite* to jurisdic
tion, and being plain ami positive require
ment* of the Act of Assembly, we have no
right U> disregard them. Our jurisdiction
depends upon a strict compliance with
them. The counsel for twlitioner* concede
all thin, and in order to have their petition
confvirm to the requirement* of tne law,
presented their petition for amendment-
It muit be observed that every provision
for contesting elections la directed bv stat
ute. None of the proceeding* are in the
course of the common law, and are all or
dered br act# of assembly. They provide
for the filing of the petition, prescribe the
time within which it must be filed, by how
many qualified elector* to lie signed, how
to be sworn to, and that the Court shall
fi* a time for the hearing. These are
statutory provisions, and that the proceed
ing* must follow them, is a well settled
rule of construction, and is so provided by
statute.
The set of a*M-mbly of March, 21st. 1800,
provide* that in all can* whern remedy
U provided, or duly enjoined, or anything
directed to he done, by an act or at ts of
saremhly of thi* Commonwealth, the Hirtc
fion* of the *aid acts shall be ftririy pur
rued, and no penalty shall he inflicted, or
anything donr agreeably to the provisions
of the common law in such case*, further
than shall be nece**ary for carrying such
act* into effect.
That thi* statute is applicable to election
contests it settled in Commonwealth v*.
tsarsgue*. 4 Carey, page®: "When a
statute describee a mode of Inquiring into
and determining the regularity and legality
of a municipal election, the remedy pro
vided by the statute must be followed, to
the exclusion of the common law mode of
redrew*.''
In M<>nng*h*U Navagaiintt Company
vs. Blair, 8 Harris, 71, Black, C. J., de
livering the opinion of the Court, said:
"When a new and cxtraordinnry remedy,
out of the course of the common Jaw, "is
given hj statute, the psrtv, if he adopt it
at all, must pursue it to the fetter." (See
7 W.,fil7; 6 Carey, 417, &ci.
There authorities are sufficient to show
that the essential prerequisites of the act of
assembly must he followed In order that
the Court may acquire jurisdiction, and
that thev cannot be overlooked without
disregarding the mandate of the act of IPO6.
It thus appearing that it is essential to
the initiation of this proceeding on the
part of the petitioner, ttiat ho should have
complied "etnrtly" and "to the letter,"
with the requirement!) of the act of May
19th, 1874, ha* the Court tbo right and the
power to ellow him to supply eny of there
statutory prerequisites, after "the expiration
of thirty days T The right to amend in a
contested election case, ha* been a question
involved in some doubt. That it has been
allowed in certain cases, we may concede ;
but thai it is a legal right to which a con
testant is entitled, will not be contended.
That tha right to amend exists end has
been allowed In rases where the Jurisdic
tion of the Court bad been acquired under
the original petition, I* settled In the con
tested election of 1800,16 P. P. 8,, >, and
and also In the consented election of A. B.
Barber, I W. N. C., So7> In the former
care Chief Justice Agnew say :
"The grounds of allowance are not in the
record, and cannot ha reviewed by us The
amendment was ml of ass omitted yrerr
gttisife necessary to mn/rr ssr

IWsos, OW was a mere specification of a Utct
* '* yl

the complaint end belonging onlv to the
proof," (Page 20.)
This cnn wa* decided by u bare majority
of the Court, the other Judge* assenting.
In liarhcr'a apje-ul, the Court ray :
"There it one question in thia record
which properly may be noticed, to wit,
the allegation that the petition wa* not
signed bv thirty qualified elector*. If thia
dearly appear* in the record, it i* a fatal
defect, for without thirty signature*, the
Court acquired no jurisdiction. That Omrt
cannot eu/i/dy its own /uridulir/n, but bar.
ing acquired it in a regular manner, It may
allow ruth amendment* a* will facilitate
the hearing of the caae on it* merit*."
These care* decide that the Court ha* the
power to permit amendment* in caae* of
thia character, but they alao eatabliah the
principle, that thi* power should not be
exercised where the aiiu-nclri,* nt asked for
are "of art ouiitlcd prerequisite necessary
to confer jurisdiction, or >•( a matter essen
tial to the frame of the petition "
The attiendinent offered in this case is of
thi* character : It propose* to supply what
the statute r*-quire* t a* iiwsnry to givo
the Court jurisdiction, to wit, that the pe
tition shall be signed by twenty qualified
rlertori. In our opinion this cannot la*
done. A* wa. said by Mitchell, Justice, in

Uliigencor, 126: No precedent ha* (seen
