Democratic State Ticket.
STATU TUKASIBKR,
DANIKIJ <>. BAKU, Allegheny county.
Tin: third House of Congress, usual
ly termed the Fraud of the White
House, has located himself t the Sol"
tilers' Home, a few miles from Wash
ington, to pass the heated term.
Tin: Democracy of Centre county
wore represented in the late Demo
cratic State Convention by James A.
MeClain and (leorge It. Barrett, Rep
resentative Delegates; and T. C. Hip
pie, Esq., of Clinton county, Senatorial.
NAI-OI.KON BON.VI'AUTE was a great
man in his day. and was a terror even
to kings, hut now we guess he is out of
the way. Wheu men once receive a
good hanging, according to the Ameri
can mode, they are not often heard
from again. The other day poor Na
poleon was hung in Fardis, Mi—., and
now we hope the world will let him
rest. Perhaps it will he well to state
that in this instance Na|>olcon was a
negro who Was guilty of murdering a
fellow by the plcbiun name of Tom
Butler.
THE Sherman boom is now heard on
the Atlantic coast, away North, in
the neighborhood of Newport, It. I.
Junketing these hot day* in a govern
ment revenue cutter at the expense of
the United States i* pleasant work,
and entirely consistent with John
Sherman's well rccoguized habits of
economy. It also shows that he ha*
a proper regard for the uses to which
government property may IK- put.
This is especially commendable in a
candidate for the Presidency, and will
no doubt have due weight with the in
telligent masses when they come to
consider the qualifications of aspirants
for that high oflice.
THK Democrats who take the stnmp
in Ohio and elsewhere this fall, will
not lie disposed to waste all their time
to gratify John Sherman in di-ctissing
financial issues and counting his tall
columns of figures. The people don't
care a continental for John's figures
now. The living issues sent Jown by
Congress and the Fraudulent I'r-si
dent, are those which claim the atten
tion of the hour. The doctrine of
centralization avowed by the Republi
can leaders in Congress, and the at
tempt of the Executive to seize the
Legislative functions and enforce sup
plies to pay for soldiers and executive
police to control the votes of the pen
jde are now the attraction, and cannot
!>e obscured under issues of less im
portance.
THE hope that was felt at the close
of week that the ravages of Yel
low fever in Memphis would lie Con
fined to a few cases is again dissipated,
and the report* which come this week
inform us that it is spreading with
great rapidity. On Monday there
Were thought to be at least sixty cases
in the city of Memphis. It did not
result this year from tho accumula
tion of filth, as Memphis is said by
those who have been there this season,
to have lieeu in an unusually clean
condition; hut it was because all
traces of the disease hail not been
exterminated by the destruction of
clothing, l>ed covering and other arti
cles which had come in contact with
the disease last year. ' This seems to
be almoinlely necessary, as the coldest
winter does not seem to lm sufficient
to absolutely exterminate it. We
trust wc are wrong in our conjectures,
yet it seems almost certain to us that
the fever will spread to other places
and liecome perhaps as terrible in its
effects as it was last year, unless He
who alone can control its course sees
fit to interfere and prevent its progress.
"KUCAI. ANI> KXAIT Jt'STIfK TO AM. AIKN, OK WHATEVER STATE OH l-KKSf AHION, ItKLKilortt pH ft) 1.1 Tl <A!..
IT appears C<l. Bright, sergeant-ut
arms of the Senate, since the adjourn
ment, lias removed a wounded soldier
doing duty as a door-keeper at the
ladies'gallery. This soldier, it is said,
Jost hotli his legs in the Union army,
and is of unexceptionable character,
and competent to perform the duties
required. He walks upon two wooden
legs. If the facts lie as stated we
trust the Senntors will sis- that Mr.
Wilson, the soldier removed, is re
instated and Col. Bright pro|>erly re
buked for such unjustifiable proscrip
tion. The removal, it is also said, was
made ou the recommendation of Sena
tor Hon Cameron, and one of his
friends appointed to the place.
There are always two sides to every
story, ami since the above was in ty|>e
wc find in the Washington iM a
statement which places a very differ
ent tacc u)M>n the case. It now appears
that the removal was the result of
insubordination and neglect of duty,
and the complaint an attempt on tin
part of Mr. Wilson, the crippled sol
dier referred to, to manufacture some
cheap jsjlitieal capital at the expense
of truth. Mr. Wilson being the own
er of valuable projM-rly and in the
receipt of a pension of $72 per month
ami a ; ingle man, i- not a good subject
to make a re-pectable martyr. The
I'utt says:
t'ol. I'right is still at>*cnt from the
city, but the Pott has made some in
quiric* in regard to the removal of
Wilson. The farts are that in the first
place he objected to performing the
duties of the {motion which lie held : it
required more hours of attention dur
ing the day than he cared to l>e con
fined, t'ol. Bright than gave him an
easier place ; he put him at the foot of
one of the private staircases intended
for senators only, and employes of the
Senate. There were no cards to take
ill, and, in fact, there was nothing to do
hut sit at the foot of the stairs while
the Senate was in session. Wilson ob
jected to this place, because, as he said,
it was too lonesome and quiet ; he want
ed something more lively. lie was
transferred to the west door of the
Senate, and he at once complained ot
this liecause there was too much work,
lie was not willing to carry cards to
Senator*. Wilson said positively lie
would not fill tpat place, and before
Col. Bright could, in his desire to no
commodate the savior of his country,
find another easier place for him, Wil
son had gone home. Without waiting
for t'ongress to adjourn, and without
asking for leave of alwence. he left the
city and went to his home.
THE Republican pre affect to
sneer at the startling ami damaging
revelations of corrupt management re
cently brought to light by the publi
cation of the report of Mr. Glover,
chairman of the committee charged
with the investigation of the Treasury
Department. These revelations can
not IK? "laughed out of court," nor
answered hv mere abuse of the chair
man. The committee deal in facts and
evidence, and when the investigation
shows, among other corrupt practices
and irregularities, that in the Presi
dential campaigns of I8>8, 1*72 ami
187b, there was a large fraudulent
issue of greenbacks, amounting to
819,000,(8(0, put in circulation and
proved to have been printed from the
original plates in the Treasury De
partment —that this circulation was
kept afloat for months and the Treas
ury statements falsified to cover the
fraud.it m-ems to us more is demanded
than sneers or abuse. The Glover in
dictment is plnin, and the pleading to
it must lie equally so to satisfy
public. That this fraudulent issue of
greenbacks went largely into the cor
ruption election funds, is strengthened
by the fact, that after each Presiden
tial election the public were notified
from the Treasury Department tlint
counterfeits were in circulation so well
executed as to be difficult of detection.
They would lie hard to detect, cer
tainly, but having answered their par
pose, the ex|>crta of the Department
could easily find some defect to con
demn them.
A NEW nir line railroad is now be

Bottor Tlmoß.
It is very gratifying to note the tin
mintiikcablo signs of u genuine and
healthy business revival in almost
every branch of trade that conic to
us from all parts of the country.
After the inactivity and depression of
years, many of the great manufactur
ing industries are looking up with
prospects that are decidedly hopeful.
Large establishments, long dormant,
are springing into new life and w ill go
into operation with fair IIO|M-* for the
future. May success crown their ef
forts. Furnaces ami rolling mills are
beginning to work upon lull orders for
their products at an improvement
upon the low prices which have ruled
in the markets for a long period past,
ami in some of them, employing a
large number of ojtcrntivcs, it is a
pleasure to state, material advances
have already been made in the wages
of employes. The laborer i* always
worthy of his hire, and, with increas
ing prosperity, employers should with
out delay icrniit their employes to
share in the larger profits that nri-e
from their growing prosperity. To do
this will he to follow the dictates of
wisdom as well as of self intcrcM. A
more kimlly feeling will thus In
brought about between employer and
employe, and much of the unseem
ly and unnecessary antagonism—lead
ing to riots, strikes, loss of time -and
consequent sutfering to dcpcndi nt
families—that has )-< n iirou--d and
encouraged by what is called the con
flict between capital ami lulmr may
In- allayed. With a fair division of
profits each will work in harmony
with the other ami the bitterness and
uncertainty that have marked the
ojM-rations of our industrial pursuits
during the past period of depression
will lm forgotten in the general jubilee
of the good t intra to which pr -cut in
dimtions |>oint with almost unerring
certainty.

The Riot Damages.
The question having Ix-cn decides!
by the Supreme Court adjudging the
liability of Allegheny county for
damages incurred by the Pittsburg
riots in 1 >*77, a very large number of
suits are now Uing actively entered
to IH- within the two years to which
the liability of the county is limited
by the act of assembly. These dam
ages will amount to several millions,
and will embarrass the people of that
county very much. Hut with their
immense resources, unsurpassed manu
factories, and well known enterprise,
the embarrassment should be of short
duration.
TriK tobacco ring of New Orleans,
with Morris Marks, collector of Inter
nal Revenue, nt its head, has IMH-II do
ing a thriving business in robbing the
government of the tnxes due upon to
bacco. The disclosures recently made
of the operations of this gang of thieves
by Mr. Flores, a prominent tobacco
merchant of that city, nnd also by
(Sen. Webster, a trustworthy agent of
the revenue bureau, who made an in
vestigation of the charge* against Oil
lector Marks, are disgraceful in the
extreme, and call for the summary
punishment of all engaged in the ras
cally business. Hut as Marks helped
to steal tho electoral vote of Ismisiana
for Mr. Hayes he has thus far been
able to hold his own with the govern
ment, notwithstanding the exposure of
his villainy. He yet retains the posi
tion of collector of the revenue, nnd
with the influence of Sherman, Kel
logg ami the other elect#al thieves, is
likely to do so for some time to come.

l-arge Deliveries of Wheat and Decline
