THE anxiety of the republican mem
bers of the Teller committee to get to
New Orleans is explained. With
820,000 to throw broadcast upon ima
ginative negroes a new crop of per
il! ry comes to the surface, and upon
it, as it ripens, the stalwarts hope to
thrive.
THE Washington newspaper cor
respondents say that Gen. Burnsidc is
the most elegantly dressed man in the '
I'nited States Senate, but the General 1
should nevertheless understand that I
fine clothes are a poor substitute for
brains. Elegant apparel will never i
pass his new armv bill, which, to
judge from present indications, seems
at best to be in a bad wav.
TUB editor of ihe Phtlipsburg Journal
announce* that the CKMTRK DEMOCRAT,
the new Journal just Started t Bellefonte,
is to l> "the organ of Curtin "Wallace
and McClure." How is thai, Messrs.
Nbugert A: Forster ? Is it true, or is the
I'hilipsburgor only joking.— Clearfield Re
publican.
The only reply that Messrs. Shugcrt
& Forster can make to brother Good
lander is that t'hc Philipsburger must
have been joking. At least Messrs.
Slnigert Fors'er will do the Philips
burger the honor ro b-Tcvc that he !
would not wilfully publ-'h an untruth.
ONCE FOR ALL, we desire to state |
distinctly and unequivocally that the 1
CENTRE I)F.NOCRAT belongs oxelu
sivcly to Shugcrt and Forster. The
paper is not, and will not lie the
special organ of any man. If the edi
tors are fortunate enough to have the
friendship of Senator Wallace and Ex-
Governor Curtin, they nrc thankful
for it, as they will lie for the friend
ship of all other leading and influen
tial democrats in the State of Penn
sylvania,
OUR brother of the Watchman is
annoyed because we did not murder
Commissioners Gregg and Mingle, I
and all connected with the First Na
tional Bank, before we knew of their
offence. While we may not feel dis- i
posed to commit the deed ourselves
we will willingly stand by and hold
his garments while he stones Stephen.
Wo do not think, however, the act of ;
the commissioners complained of, how- 1
ever it may have been intended, can !
do any great harm, because, by the
Watchman t showing, it is simply null
and void.
THF. Washington Poet says, thnt the (
witnesses whom Mr. Blaine desired
Mr. Teller to call nrc rising up with
wonderful alacrity to snv that they
know nothing of the alleged fraud or
intimidation. Mr. Blaine named three j
persons in South Carolina a Mr. ,
Campbell, Mr. Memminger, formerly
an officer in the Confederate treasury.
Mr. Campbell sap he has nothing to
communicate thnt will help the cause.
Mr. Memminger writes to say that
Mr. Blaine is the victim of misplaced
confidence, as he was in the mountains
during the summer and knows no
more of the election than Mr. Blaine
does. Mackcy is a man whoso testi
mony could be impeached by the oath
of almost every reputable citizen in
the Charleston district, where he ran
for Congress and was defeated. Mr.
Blaine will have to try again.
BROTHER KISSLOE, of the Clinltm j
Republican, is at perfect liberty to air {
his nimble wit at our expense whenever j
the spirit moves him to do so. We
shall not object, and do not write now
for the purpose of finding fault with {
the interpolations which he injected j
into the "Introductory" that appeared .
in our first number. It doubtless j
seemed a very funny performance—at 1
least, to Brother Kinsloe—and we are I
content that he should enjoy it We ;
merely wish, however, to correct I
Brother Kinsloe upon one point
When he was informed that Gov. Cur
tin furnished the capital to start the
CENTRE DEMOCRAT, the information 1
came from a very bad source, for there j
is not one word of truth in it We
ought to know, and we trust Brother
Kinsloe will accept our "say so" as,
conclusive of the matter. For the
compliments aud kind wishes with
which Brother Kinsloe concluded his
notice of the CENTRE DEMOCRAT we
return him our sincere and giatcful
thanks.

As soon as the announcement was
made, of the death of Bayard Taylor,
our minister to the German empire,
every one looked around to see if he
could select a man worthy to ho his
successor. Our country haviug been
lost represented at the court of the
Kaiser by one of her most learned
scholars, experienced travellers, and
j famous authors, by a man who was at
the same time a finished poet und an
erudite philosopher, nil agreed that
his successor should possess as many of
his capacities and accomplish men ts as
possible. No one expected that his
place could l>e fully supplied, hut all
felt that there should he the least pos
sible coutrust between him ami his im
mediate successor, in order that our
country's reputation might he main
tained The name of Governor Hart
ranft having been mentioned in con
nection with this appointment, when
he came to prepare his last message,
he was determined to demonstrate his
qualifications to lie the successor of
Bayard Taylor. Ilencc this sentence: i
'■We aro still in the gray of bard liinei,
and the giant indu*lri<w of coal and iron
aro yi-t slumbering restlessly j but, every
where, the ellr of awakening conlldence be
token* tho beginning of a more pro*|>erou*
day.''
i While some may think the expres
sion "the gray of hard times" is not ac
| cording to the common use of our peo
ple, as v<f often hear of the "gray of
the morning," aud never of the "gray
of the night," und that "ehailow" would
hnvc been n 1 letter trope than "gray,"
still we insist the expression*?.* very
fine; besides it is original; it is entirely
new; no one else ever used it. The
next idea is truly practical: "tho giant
industries of coal aud iron" "slumber
ing restlessly." Hook at the picture—
the twin giants still asleep in the trun
dle lied prepared by mother nature,
yet restless from indigestion or colic,
while the third giant "confidence" is
yawning and rubbing his eyes, and pre
paring to run and sport in the sunlight
of better days. This is truly lieautiful,
and the miud that could create so po
etic a picture is worthy to fill the place
once occupies! by the youthful nuthor
of "Ximiua."
But poetry alone will not qualify one
for the Germau mission. Whoever rep
resents the great American republic at
Berlin should lie competent to discuss
all social theories with Bisinark, and
wallf with the savatis of their universi
ties through the labyrinths and mysti
cisinsof German philosophy. Our poet
Governor has demonstrated his fitness
in this respect also, as witness the fol
lowing clear and philosophic state
ment :
"I thnll not debate the natural right* of
individual* in the parental relations, *ince
I am. for my own part, firmly persuaded
that the social right* of adult* end with
the right to illimiuthly propagate beggar*
and criminal*, and *top short of the priv
ilege to educate them."
Let President Hayes send the poet
and philosopher of Montgomery to fill
the place made vacant by the death of
the poet and philosopher of Kciinctt.
CONSIDERABLE excitement ho* Wn
created in financial circles over the
discovery that under the provisions of
an act of the Pennsylvania legislature,
passed in 18*>0, the stockholders of the
Philadelphia and Heading railroad
company arc made individually liable
for the debts of the company. Mr.
Oowan, the President of the coni|mny,
has published a letter in the Philadel
phia newspapers in which he denies
i the liability of the shareholders on the
| ground that the legislature had no
power to pass an act that in any way
I altered or impaired the contract that
■ previously existed between the share
i holders and the company, and there-
S fore the act of 18.50 is to he treated as
i a nullity. On the other hand, lawyers
; who have examined the matter dis
agree with Mr. Gowan, and say that
| the act is valid. The rpiestion will be
j a nice one for the courts to decide, and
| in the meantime it Is not probable that
j operations in Heading stock will be
very extensive.
E. V. SM ALLEY has gone to New

Smalley has figured as a southern cor

Tiiere is, therefore, no good reason why
the Legislature should not permit the
•Sinking Fund Commissioners to divert nil
thst they may tlml necessary to thoge..rul
fund, sfter thus fulfilling the provision of
the Constitution. And, Indeed, there does
not seem to bo any serious objection to
passing a general law giving the sinking
fund Commissioners authority, nfter pay
ing the interest on the public debt, and
redeeming the principal required by the
Constitution, to divert the balance of the
revenue which would otherwise go into the
sinking fund by legislation, to the payment
of the debt or to general expenses, us the
exigences of the Stale's finances inay re-•
quire. The present rigid method is very
inconvonicot, especially in times when the
revenues naturally decrease, obliging the
Commissioners to redeem the loans of the
Commonwealth, when legitimate claims
presented at the counter of the general
Treasury have to be put off. • |
The above taken from the recent
message of Gov. Hurtranfl is among
the recommendations which ought not
'to Ik? acted ujhhi. It is in violation of
the spirit if not of the letter of the
Constitution. The purpose of insert
ing iu the constitution the provision
relative to the Sinking Fund was to
place that fund beyond the reach of
ordinary legislation, and compel the
application of the money* set apart
h* the sinking fund to the payment of
the public debt. It i* true the Legis
lature may increase or decrease the re
venues of that fund, hut w hen money
ha* been paid into that filial, it cannot
constitutionally be appropriated to
any other object than the payment of
the principal and interest of the pub
lic debt. The Legislature alone should
IK- permitted to say whether the reve
nue* of the *inking fund are too large.
This discretion should never be given
to any hoard of slate officers. We
have perfect confidence in the rapaci
ty and integrity of State Treasurer
Noyca and Auditor General S. hell,
two of the present Sinking Filial Com
missioners, but this i* a power that
cannot lie safely lodged with any one
lint tlie immediate representatives of
the jieople in the General Assembly.

In an affidavit, which wn* presented
to the committee la-dyWcek !<y Mr.
Shellabarger, the counsel of J<hti

who had acted an a deputy scrgvont
at-artns to the committee, charge* iui
proper conduct to Ib picsK-utativeStcu
ger in the matter of serving stihpo-ua*
upon witnease*. He allege* that he
was instructed by Sterger not to serve
the subpo-na.* of the republican coun
sel, Imt to return them, and rcjrort
that the witnesses could not be found.
It is needle*-* to say that Mr. Stenger
denies the charge HI toto, and says
that it is an entire fabrication, the fals
ity of which he will fully demonstrate
when the proper time arrive*.
In the same affidavit Ht. Martin ad
mit.* tlmt in testimony previously giv
en to the committN he wa.< guilty of
perjury. With this confession of his
unworthine**, it would win that in
selecting Mr. Stcngcr as the first vic
tim UJMUI whom to play oil' hU devil
try, Ht Martin has chosen n very un
promising subject Mr. Stenger stands
so firmly behind the shield of pure nnd
upright character in private life, nnd
in his public career has always been
such a bright example of manliucss
and integrity, that the miserable lios
of the wrrtch who now assail* hi*
good name eannot hut fall harmless
at his feet If this vile assault upon
Mr. Stenger proves, as it probably
will, to be another trick of the wily
John Hberraan to draw public atten
tion away from the odium that at
taches to his own connection with the
thieves who stole the electoral vote of I
Louisiana, it will signally fail of its
purpose. Hhermuu will ascertain to
his sorrow that he cannot cover up
his own evil deeds by wicked fabrica
tions against the reputation ot au
honest man.
