Contested Seats in Congress.
The present House has outstripped
the most reckless of its Republican
predecessors in its shameless violation
of the rights of representation in con
tested election cases. No sooner was it
ascertained in the fall of 1880 that the
Republicans would be able to organize
the House with a small majority, eked
out with Greenbackers and Virginia
Readjnsters, than the party organs set
up the cry of fraud over the Congres
sional elections in the South, and des
ignated the seats from which the Dem
ocratic members-elect would be ejected.
Upon this encouraging hint more than
a score of defeated candidates sprang
up, and lost no time in giving notice of
contest. With so small and unreliable
a majority in the House, Robeson and
the more unscrupulous party managers
recognized the necessity of enlarging it
by means of manufactured contests for
reversing the decision of the ballot box.
When Keifer was made Speaker there
was no difficulty in securing a partisan
committee that would perform with
zeal the work cut out for it. The fact
that a Virginia Readjuster and a Texas
Greenbacker were assigned to the Dem
ocratic minority of the committee,
though both of them are more bitter
enemies of the Democratic party than
are the Republicans themselves, suffi
ciently attests the partisan indecency
with which Speaker Keifer packed this
committee.
In nearly all the cases already de
cided and now pending the majorities
of the sitting members—officially count
ed and returned—run up to the thou
sands ; but this consideration has no
effect upon a partisan committee organ
ized for the purpose of enlarging the
Republican majority in the House. The
committee was supplied by the contest
ants with abundance of testimony in
regard to bulldozing and violence at the
polls in the affidavits of ignorant ne
groes, who did not know how they
voted and had but a dim conception of
what they were swearing to. Upon such
testimony a popular majority of thou
sands is overthrown, a report is made
by the commitiee, accompanied by a
resolution that the Bitting member he
ejected, and the report is adopted by
the House, not ten members of which
have given the least attention to the
case until brought up for a vote under
suspension of the rules. It.is absurd to
pretend that there was anything like
judicial fairness in the determination
of these contested election cases. The
action of the Democratic majority in
the last Congress iB in creditable con
trast with the partisan indecency of the
Republicans in the present House.
There was the same temptation in H
meagre majority, and in the cases of
Curtin vs. Yocum, Donnelly vs. Wash
burn, and io others, the majorities re
turned for the sitting Republican* were
so small and the claims of the contest
ants so plausible that it would not have
caused much of a strain to render a
partisan decision. Hut the Demociats
in the last Congress were so anxious to
make a record and set an example of
impartiality in contested elections that
they leaned a little to the side of the
opposition. The example was thrown
away upon the present Republican
House.
The latest contested elections case
decided in the usual partisan way is that
of Smalls against Tillman, from South
Carolina. Tillman's majority was up in
the thousands, but upon the usual negro
affidavits of bulldozing, fruud, violence
and tissue ballots a partisan committee
had no trouble in wiping it away. It
Tillman was not entitled to the seat if
is still more certain that Smalls was
never elected ; but by the same party
vote in the House the one was ejected
ane the other admitted. This case was
so shamelessly indecent in its violation
of every principle of law governing con
tested election cases that Mr. Calkins,
of Indiana, Chairman of the committee,
voted against the rosolution declaring
Smalls entitled to the seat. In address
ing the House in his own behalf, and
anticipating the usual partisan de
cision, Mr. Tillman earnestly argued in
favor of the establishment of some im
partial judicial tribunal for the determ
ination of contested election cases. The
House is the judge of the election and
qualification of its own members ; but
this does not prevent the House from
erecting a Court which will make a ju
dicial investigation of which a partisan
committee is incapable. In the English
Commons there were much the same
scandals that are now witnessed in the
Amerioan Congress when the same sys
tem prevailed. But in England con
tested election cases are sent to the
Uourts for decision, and there is an end
of this species of partisan iniquity.
The Constitution of Pennsylvania pro
vides that all contests for seats in the
Senate and House shall be heard and
determined by a proper judicial tribu
nal, and the provision on this subject
has been respected, except in one in
stance, in which it was disregarded by
an ignorant and unscrupulous partisan
majority in the House. Congress could
easily erect some tribunal for hearing
the evidence in contested cases and re
porting the result to the House, thus
putting an end to a constantly recurring
scandal. If the partisan iniquities prac
ticed in contested election cases in the
present Congress should have tho effect
of arresting public attention and lead
ing to a reform they will not be an un
mixed evil.
Walsh's Testimony in the Star-Route
Trials.
Mr. Walsh having been called by the
prosecution his examination was re
sumed by Mr. Bliss.
The witness testified that he had the
interview with Brady in December, 18, SO,
for the purpose of having a settlement
of certain financial matters. This was
however ruled out. Walsh then con
tinued that the fines imposed on Dines
were talked of and he told Brady that
he needed money and would like a set
tlement of his account, and at Brady's
request produced the notes and memo
randa. Brady replied that he had
greatly benefitted the witness and did
not think he owed him anything, recit
ing the facts that he had ordered ex
pedition on his route and other circum
stances. Walsh remarked that he had
supposed the expedition to be based
upon the petitions filed, to which Bra
dy rejoined that it was "no use to argue
the matter or feign ignorance" and told
him that it was his custom to receive
20 per cent, of the increase ordered by
him, and upon tho witness's request
furnished him with a statement which
set forth that his route had been in
creased in round numbers from £74,000
to $135,970 per angiuin. Twenty per
cent, of this difference—soo,oo0 —for
three years amounted in round num
bers to $30,000. Brady also reminded
him that he had been assessed SB,OOO
for the Congressional corruption fund,
and said that he must certainly expect
to lose the balance of it. To this Walsh
demurred that as he ( had appeared be
fore the Congressional Committee and
been thoroughly examined, lie did not
feel like paying the assessment. Brady
then assured him that one-half or some
such percentage was what he usually
insisted upon as his share in these
cases, and that the witness really
owed him money. During the conver
sation Brady had picked up the notes
and put them into his pocket. The
witness asked Brady what 1 meant by
that, and Brady answered that he
meant to settle the matter. Walsh then
told Brady that he wold be> compelled
to have recourse to the courts; that
outside of the morality ot transac
tion it was an outrage, because the
routes would not pay under shell assess
ments. Brady informed him that he
did not understand his hiwijesß and
that the best thing he could tut would
be tO get ou t. Speaking of his relations
with other contractors, Brady t<lld him
that if he '.tad us<d his eyes liel might
have seen tii" a other coutiuolursAhd not
object to paying J

Mr. .J ay Ilubbell is renlrifAe!. We
have before us two of his as
sessment circulars of which he STol the
congressmen acting with liirn ought to
he ashamed, no matter how little they
are inclined to blush at tiie general run
of the business in which they are en
gaged. One of these Republican assess
ment circulars requires six dollars and
twentv cenls from a little boy twelve
years old, employed in a navy yard at
one dollar per day. This little boy,
whose mime we decline to give Mr.
ilubbell for obvious reasons, is an or
phan, twelve years old, employed, as an
errand boy, and whose small pay is the
support ot a widowed mother and one or
two children. The other of Mr. .lay
lfubbell's circulars calls lor seven dol
lars. It is directed to an old man over
eighty years, of age, also employed in
a navy yard, and receiving one dollar
and a quarter per day for such light
work as sweeping and other matters
which a man of Ins years can attend to.
This poor old fellow does not even have
constant employment. He averages
about one hundred days' work in the
year. Yet of this man, tottering to the
grave and over eighty reals of age, Mr.
Jay Huhbull, in toe name of "party of
great moral ideas," demands iho pay
ment of seven dollars.
Will not President Arthur, will not
Secretary Chandler, step forward in the
name of common decency and take Mr.
Hohhell's hands off the throats and out
of the pockets of children and totter
ing old men ? Is there no sense of
shame, no power of indignation, left
among our public men? — S\ Y. Herald.
Cameron Can liny His Cubic-Hooks.
From the Now York Tribune, Rep.
The sincerity of the desire of Mr.
Cameron and his followers for the har
mony has not stood the test. The can
didates of the boss could not bring
themselves to give up the chance of be
ing named on the ticket which a new
convention of Republicans might select.
Therefore the responsibility for Repub
lican defeat in PennsylAania in the
coming canvass rests on their shoulders.
They prefer to sink with the boss rather
thun to Bwim with a united party. The
Independent leaders did all that could
be asked of them, anil they can now go
on with their work with the conscious
ness that they have the approval of the
majority of unfettered Republicans
throughout the nation. Mr. Cameron
recently complained that he could not
go to Europe—he could not "get away
from his Independent friends. lie can
buy his guide books now. A long vaca
tion is already awaiting him.

POLITICAL PLANS IN CLEARFIELD.
S|u?riul Di*i>utcli to Tho Times.
CLEARFIELD, July 20.
Just now the Republican politicians
are engaged in an important movement
in which this county is for the present
the theatre of operations, llow fat
success will attend the efforts is proble
matical, though judging from the char
acter of the emissaries employed and
the tireless energy infused into their
ellorls it is safe to assume that they in
tend to deserve success, iiowever, the
magnitude of the enterprise is suflioient
to commend it to the attention of the
most skilful managers, and it is not sur
prising that a scheme that involves the
transfer of the votes of the Knights of
Labor bodily to the Republican candi
dates should enlist the best efforts of
the most skilled manipulators. Early
in the campaign it was the boast of the
most trusted Cameron lieutenants that
gains through the medium of the
Knights of Labor organization would
more than compensate for the diversion
of Independent Republicans, but until
recently the movement to consummate
this undertaking was so carefully mask
ed that fiie utmost vigilance failed to
disclose it. Lven now, while the of ject
is so clear to those who have had oppor
tunities to witness the manoeuvres of
the managers, it is only by carefully
analyzing the various movements and
joining together the isolated links in
the chain of circumstances that the
plot is fully disclosed.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF TIIE PLOT.
How long the plot has been incubat
ing it is not possible to conjecture, ex
cept in so far as it is remembered that
Mr. Cooper made allusion to such a
scheme more than a month ago. The
first tangible evidence of its develop
ment in this section occurred last
•Saturday, when suspicions framed them
selves into street gossip and were dis
cussed on the streets of this town. Last
Wednesday Miles McPadden was ar
rested at Plnlipsburg, charged with
conspiracy to prevent willing workmen
from pursuing their avocation. He was
bound over in the sum of SI,OOO to
appear for trial. Subsequently Con.
Cotter, John Catherwood and a man
named Paisley were arrested and in de
fault of bail were committed to jail.
This occurred on Friday. <'n Saturday
Colonel I). H. Hastings arrived here.
The labor organization has always here
tofore been represented by Barret it
Son. It was reasonable to expect that
any legal proceedings would be inaugu
rated by this firm. Colonel Hastings
had never previously appeared in court
here, and his legal reputation is riot
such as to make his employment in any
way necessary. P>ut in this case Messrs.
Barret it Son, the senior of which firm
has occupied a seat on the bench, and
both are distinguished lor legal acumen,
were not consulted.
Upon the arrival of Colonel Hastings
the Knights of Labor surrendered the
management of tlicit-case to him. He
employed Mr. T. H. Murry, who is a
Republican and personal friend of Gen.
Beaver. Under the counsel of these
gentlemen a writ of habeas corpus was
applied for. Upon the hearing on the
motion for the writ after argument the
Court field the accused to hail in the
sum of SSOO eacti, and they were re
manded to custody until the bail was
entered.
TUB AMBASSADORS DELICATE DITIES.
At this point the peculiar services of
General Beaver's neighbor and Chair
man Cooper's ambassador, Colonel Hast
ings, were developed. He canvassed
the town, soliciting bondsmen. To the
active Republicans he pleaded eloquent
ly in behalf of his pet scheme. To the
personal friends ot General Beaver he
emphasized the value of such a service
in such an emergency. Finally I>r.
Hartwick yielded to his importunities
and consented, out of love tor the .Stal
wart candidate, to sign the bond. Mr.
Murray when apprised of the triumph
and the three visited the jail to execute
the bond in the presence of the prison
ers. When the doctor saw them, how
ever, he relented. Timidity got the
upper hand ot patriotism and lie beg
ged off- Then Colonel Hastings was
driven to another expedient, lie sum
moned the leading partisans to a caucus
and commanded in the name of the
party that they jointly make up the
bail. Among those who attended this
caucus was Samuel J. Row, who was
yesterday appointed Postmaster. To
him the Colonel addressed himself. lie
dilated upon the fact that as a prospec
tive party beneficiary it was his duly to
help the organization. But the ex
pectant Postmaster was adamant. 'I he
others were equally irresponsive and
the caucus adjourned. The Bellefonte
ambassador was in despair. Hope was
oozing out and he turned to his col
league, Mr. Murray, with a plaintive
plea to throw himself into the breach.
Murray demurred and alluded feelingly
to his lifelong practice of refusing to
bail anyone. lie cited the record of a
long professional career in testimony of
this fact, but it only inspired Hastings
to greater eloquence and more fervid
importunity. At last Mr. Murray suc
cumbed and, under the assurance that
it would secure the votes of the Knights
of Labor to General Beaver, lie signed
the bond and the prisoners were re
leased.
THE TERMS OF THE CONTRACT.
It is an open secret here that an un
derstanding has been arrived at between
the organization on the one side and
the Republican committee on the other.
The agreement is that, in consideration
of the entire vote of the organization
being thrown for Beaver, the Republi
can committee is to guarantee protec
tion to these men and any others of the
order who may be charged with con
spiracy. The plan is to secure release
from prison by bail when arrests are
made, immunity from trial when that is
possible, and protection after conviction
if the other fails. Those who call to
mind the riot bribers will understand
the significance of this promise. The
first step in the programme has been
successfully carried out. How nearly it
failed only those know who closely
watched the operations of Colonel
Hastings while here.

The Smart Secretary.
I'lii la. Times.
It begins to be apparent that this
-Stalwart administration knew what it
was about when William E. Chandler
was appointed -Secretary of the Navy.
Chandler has long bad tlie credit of
being what vulgar people cull smart,
and lie seems determined that his repu
tation lor smartness shall not suffer
depreciation by want of effort on his
part.
The latest evidence of his thorough
fitness to be ruler of our navy is fur
nished by bis anxiety to master all the
detuils of the personnel ol the service,
lie has issued a circular to every em
ploye of the department asking, among
other things, where lie was born, how
old he is, where he was appointed from,
what oflice he holds, how long lie has
held it, and last, but not least, whose
influence secured his appointment.
Now, the ordinary man would have
sought this information from the files
of the department. Not so the astute
-Secretary. He does not want any
second-hand information, and would
rather the incumbent would say it him
self in older to avoid mistakes here
after.
-Just now, of course, the question
among tlie.se employes is: What does
be want to do with this information?
But Chandler isn't going to tell. That's
not his way. This is a reform adminis
tration. Nobody is to bo turned out of
ollice because be doesn't contribute to
the party funds. But if any of the boys
are contemplating a trip to the White
Mountains or Newport on the money
they have been requested to contribute
voluntarily, before they buy their tickets
they had better read that circular very
carefully. -Suppose the smart Secretary
should discover any one of them who
was too old for active service, or that
the place from which he was appointed
had more than its share of incumbents,
or that he had been in oflice too long,
or that his sponsor was not a good Re
publican, it might prove unhealthy for
liis prospects, if the employe fie una
ble to take a bint and should lose his
official head for any of the above-named
reasons the -Secretary could lay his hand
on his heart and asseverate that he was
removed for cause and the civil service
plank of the Chicago platform had not
been violated in any sense by liis re
moval.
There is a dreadful rumor afloat that
the rose-colored stories recently circu
lated about the eagerness of the em
ployes to contribute for the protection
of the grand old party were slightly
overdrawn, and it is just possible that
Chandler's extreme anxiety to learn all
about liis department may be regarded
as a hint to the boys to come down with
ducats or prepare to be removed for
cause. Chandler is always equal to the
demands made upon him by the neces
sities of the party, and that's why it's a
good tiling to have smart secretaries at
the head of the several departments.
Webster n Campaign Assessment.
One of the very first oflicial acts of
Daniel Webster as Secretary of State
under President Harrison was to ad
dress to the several heads of depart
ments the following letter, which cov
ers the gfound so fully and forcibly that
it deserves to be posted up in every pub
lic oflice:
DEPARTMENT or STATE, March 20,1841.
To the Hun. Thomas Kwing, iSrcrctary nf the
Treasury.
Slß: —The President is of opinion
that it is a great abuse to bring the pat
ronage of the general Government into
conflict witli the freedom of elections,
and that this abuse ought to be correc
ted wherever it may have been permit
ted to exist and to he prevented for the
future.
lie then directs that information be
given to all otlicers and agents in your
department of the public service that
partisan interference in the popular
elections, whether of State oflicers or
otlicers of the (Federal) Government,
and tor whomsoever and against whom
soever it may be exercised, or the pay
ment ol any contribution or ssessment
on salaries or official compensation lor
party or election purposes, will be re
garded by him as cause for removal.
It is not intended that any otlicer
shall be restrained in the free and prop
er expression and maintenance of his
opinions respecting public men or pub
lic measures, or in the exercise to the
fullest degree of ttie constitutional right
ofsull'rago. Hut persons employed un
der the government and paid for their
services out of the public treasury are
not expected to take an active or ofli
clous part in attempts to influence the
minds or votes of others, such conduct
being deemed inconsistent with the
spirit of the Constitution and the duties
of public agents acting under it, and
tlie President has resolved, so far as de
pends upon him, that while the exer
cise of the elective franchise by the
people shall be free from undue intlu
ence of official station and authority,
opinion Hhall also be free amotug the
oilicers ami agents of the Government.
Similar letters have also been address
ed to other heads of departments.
1 have the honor to he, sir,
Your obedient servant,
DANIEL WEIISTRR.
The National Capital.
WASHINGTON, .July 24. —The demo
cratic members of the senate held a
caucus this morning, and resolved to
insist on a full and free discussion of all
amendments to the tax bill, and to op
pose any attempt to reach a linal vote
upon the bill unless such ample oppor
tunity is afforded. The drift of the dis
cussion was that the democrats should
oppose the proposed reduction on per
fumery, cosmetics, patent medicines,
etc., and insist upon a substantial re
duction in taxation, which will directly
affect and benefit the masses of people,
and by securing a full discussion of the
subject, to compel the two parties to put
themselves squarely upon record. The
caucus also determined to support Mr.
Beck's amendment. "That all taxesand
custom dues imposed by the United
States under the law for the collection
of duties on imports from foreign counj
tries ahrtl be subjected to a discount of
10 per centum after J.rnuary 1, 1883,
and to a discount of an additional 10
per cent, after July 1, 1883."
In the star route trials to day the
cross-examination of John A. Walsh
was concluded. He corrected several
errors in his previous testimony. He
testified that the loan of $5,000 marie
l.y Brady was not made at one time,but
in Beverat installments ; he paid A. C.
Buell SI,OOO by direction of Brady, less
his indebtedness of SSOO. Brady had a
half interest in the Peterson draft. The
witness believed Jerome J. Ilines had
caused the annulment of his (the wit
ness') contract, and he did not think
lie had in reality failed. The remis
sions he had secured amount to between
SG,OOO and SB,OOO.
The senate bill to refund to the es
tate of John W. Forney $27,084, paid
by him, when secretary of the senate, to
cover a defalcation in his oflice, passed.
Tom Marshall's Opinion or Clark.
Plttrtlilirgll Post.
A few well known lawyers were asked
yesterday what they thought of the
nomination of -Silas M. Clark for -Su
preme Judge. Hon. Thomas M. Mar
shall said : "Well, no! you have been
sensible. Tou Democrats have nomi
nated a great man. 1 tell you ynu have
a great man on your ticket for -Supreme
•fudge, and by heaven, J will vote for
him! My knowledge of Pattison is
gained from the newspapers and from
some of his friends. I think him a
man of fair ability and think he will
make a respectable Governor. He has
the pride of his opinion to urge him to
do right and his youth will make him
ambitious to become a good and great
Governor. He has all the surroundings
lo make a good and great man if it is
in him. I know little or nothing of
Mr. Black and Mr. Africa, except the
latter is popular. As to Clark I can
return to his name with pleasure. J
have known him foryears. He is a big
beaded, strong man. Ido not know in
western Pennsylvania a lawyer of more
straightforward, moral, natural strength
than Clark. He is clean cut and coura
geous in asserting his principles. If he
is elected he will do himself honor and
shed luster upon the -Supreme Bench.
He is a big man all over and in every
way."
Indian Outrages.
A CHARTER OF MURDER AND OUTRAGE IN
ARIZONA.
TUCSON, A. T., July 23.—A Globe City
dispatch, dated July 20, says: Mr.
Xysby came in to-day Irom Wild Rye
county, and reports that his brother and
tour other men were killed in Pleasant
valley. Three brothers, named Tewks
liury, started from their ranch to notify
Sysby of the approach of the Indians,
but never reached Sysby's place, and it
is supposed that they and two men
named Frewer and Wareham have been
killed, as they have not been heard
Irom. Two or three hundred Indians
are reported on the warpath in the
vicinity of Pleasant valley and Wild
Rye county. Globe City is trying to
equip a company to take the field. Dan
Ming is trying to get a company of
Tonta scouts to take the. field, hut it is
thought tiie agent will refuse to let him
have them. A dispatch Irom Phoenix
dated yesterday states that later reports
from Tomta Hasin confirm the news of
the recent Indian depredations. In
the fight at Sysbey's place tour Indians
were killed and the Tewksbury's. Six
Indians were killed. Mr. Church was
killed, an<l Mr. Medley and his man,
who went in search of cattle, are miss
ing. The reports state that from sixty
to eighty Indians are camped on Coon
creek, and are evidently bound down
the Xalt river. Huildings have been
burned, stock killed and driven off and
crops laid waste, causing great loss to
settlers. The people are taking meas
ures to protect themselves.
A Woman's Heroism.
DURING a FLOOD SUE CLINGS TO A SWAY
ING TREE AND SAVES TWO CHILDREN.
From tin* Oncoola Sentinel.
In connection with the White Hreast
Bottom, lowa storm, we wish to speak
of the heroic conduct of Mrs. Carey, a
young married lady, who was stopping
with Mrs. Wiles for the night. About
9.30 or 10 P. M., the banks of the creek
began to overflow and soon the water
began coming into the house; the
whole bottom was a black and roaring
body ol water; the rain was pouring
down in torrents; the cloud overhung
the sky like a velvet curtain, and the
thunder was terrific. Mrs. Carey took
one little boy, aged about nine, and
Mrs. Wiles' baby, but six weeks old, left
the house and started for the high
ground, Reaching the garden fence,
perhaps 100 feet from the house, she
lound the current so strong that she
could not keep her footing, tier clothes
became entangled in a barb wire fence.
Fortunately she was at the foot of a
tree. Helping the boy to climb the
tree she handed him the baby to hold
a moment. The waters were raging ail
about her and were rapidly rising. She
must act quickly. With great, presence
of mind she disengaged herßelf by tear
ing her dress from her person, and
swung herself into the tree. Assisting
the hoy to climb further up she took
the baby and held it and herself by one
foot and one hand to that swaying tree
for three long hours and till rescued by
men, who swam in to her and brought
iter and the children away by the aid of
ropes. When the men reached her she
said, "save the baby first." The hero
ism of this noble little woman who thus
saved these children—the children of
another—deserves to be mentioned in
song.
