DEATH WARRANT or JESUS CHRIST.—
Of the many interesting fragments and
relics brought to light by persevering
antiquarians none can be more interest
ing than the following—to Christians,
the most imposing judicial document
ever recorded in human annals. It has
thus been faithfully transcribed :
Sentence rendered by Pontius Pilate,
acting Governor of Lower Galilee,
stating that Jesus of Nazareth shall
suffer death on the cross.
In the year seventeen of the Emperor
Tiberius Ciesar, and 27th day of March,
the city of the holy Jerusalem—Annas
and Caiaphas being priests, sacrificators
of the people of God—Pontius Pilate,
Governor of Lower Galilee, sitting in
the presidential chair of the prrotory,
condemns Jesus of Nazareth to die on
the cross between two thieves, the great
and notorious evidence of the people
saying:
1. Jesus is a seducer.
2. He is seditious.
3. He is the enemy of the law.
4. He calls himself falsely the son of
God.
5. He calls himself falsely the King
of Israel.
6. He entered into the temple follow
ed by a multitude bearing palm branch
es in their hands.
Orders the first centurion, Quilius
Cornelius, to lead him to the place of
execution.
Forbids any person whomsoever, eith
er rich or poor to oppose the death of
Jesus Christ.
The witnesses who signed tho con
demnation of Jesus are:
1 Daniel Robani, a Pharisee.
2. Joannus Robani.
3. Raphael Bobani.
4. Capet, a citizen.
Jesus shall go out of the city of Jeru
salem by the gate of Struenus.
The foregoing is engraved on a cop
per plate, on the reverse of which is
written, "A similar plate is seut to
each tribe." It- was found in an an
tique marble vase, while excavating in
the ancient city of Aquilla, in the King
dom of Naples, in the year 1810, and
was discovered by the Commissioners of
Arts of the French army. At the ex
pedition of Naples, it was enclosed in a
box of ebony and preserved in the sac
risty of the Carthusians. The French
translation was made by the Commis
sioners of Arte. The original is in the
Hebrew language.
IT is a little early in the campaign
to look for the ludicrous incidents
that are certain to flow in the flood
tide of political excitement. But Gen
eral Beaver kept the Commonwealth in
a broad grin until Boss Cooper got him
safely muzzled, and now, as if in re
venge for that indignity upon the truly
good statesman, his home organ, the
Bellefonte Republican , has entered the
field as the champion political hurnonist
of the century. As an introductory to
the curiosities in campaigu literature
that are to be expected tbe able editor
of the home organ, under the inspira
tion of the conundrum, "Will .Senator
Wallace Show His Hand ?" proceeds to
weave a most thrilling tale of torpitode
and duplicity, in which Messrs. Ran
dall, Cassidy, Eckley B. Coxe and Wil
liam L. Scott are to completely pulver
ize the aspirations of tbe Clearfield
county Democratic gladiator. Byway
of diversion from the cruel aspect of
the blood-curdling narrative the cam
Eaign romancer introduces tho great
armonizer, Hon. Samuel Josephs, mas
querading in tbe character of a states
man aspiring to the office of Secretary
of tbe Commonwealth, and 'Squire Mc-
Mullen as the heavy villian of the
tragedy awaiting the opportunity to
forcibly thrust Randall into the Presi
dential office. A vein of comedy is
reached in the closing paragraphs of
the narrative, though it is well conceal
ed beneath a skillfully constructed gar
ment of intrigue. Then Senatof Wal
lace is introduced as a co conspirator
with the Knights of Labor in a masked
effort to vote the members of that or
ganizstion for General Beaver and to
etray the whole Democratic party into
the hands of the rapacious Philistines
who compose the opposition. It is a
really meritorious effort at campaign
humor, and except tbe remarkable ut
terance of General Beaver at Bristol
has no parallel in improbability in con
temporaneous literature of that olass.—

Frightful Figures.
TIIK RECORD OK A PROFLIGATE CONGRESS.
It is well to have the exnct figures for
the appropriations made at the first ses
sion of thiH profligate Congress, so that
they cannot be successfully disputed.
To he entirely on the safe side and to
prevent controversy hereafter, we will
take the statement made by Mr. Allison,
Chairman of Appropriations in the .Sen
ate, rather than our own summary, even
when both rest on the same data. Af
ter making a comparison between all
the bills of 18S1 with those of 1882, Mr.
Allison sums up in these words : " Not
increase of appropriations for 1881 over
1882, $77,532,021,34." lie declares his
party guilty of wild extravagance,nvhile
he attempts to excuse these unprece
dentetj'grants of the public money for
questionable objects.
No lame explanation, no weak inven
tion, will satisfy the people who have
been victimized by a plundering Con
gress. From the first hour to the last,
one supreme purpose dominated the
councils of the Republican party, led by
Secor liobeson in the House of Repre
sentatives. That was to get the most
money out of the Treasury, without re
gard to the nature of the appropriation.
The Democrats carried the House of
Representatives in the tidal wave of
1874 by a majority of seventy, ousting a
Republican majority of one hundred.
That revolution was mainly caused by
the excesses of Grantism. The people
rose up and rebuked the corruption of
Grant's first term. They compelled the
Washington Ring, the Whiskey Ring,
the Indian Ring, the Postal Ring, the
Army Ring, the Navy Ring, the Land
Ring, and the other organized Rings to
suspend operations. They broke up
much of the stealing that had been com
mon in all the departments, and they
forced the Republicans to abandon
venal practices that had disgraced the
Administration.
The Democrats came in pledged to
retrenchment and reform, and kept
faith with all their obligations. The re
cord of the Forty-fourth jJongress is an
honorable witness of the fidelity and of
the zeal with which every pledge was
redeemed. They reduced the appropria
tions many millions the first year,
against the bitter opposition of a Re
publican Senate, and ngainst the false
cry that the reductions would cripple
the public service. That good work
was continued, though perhaps with
less vigor than should have been ex
hibited. During the six years of Demo
cratic ascendancy in the House,jobbery
found no favor, and the lobby became
impecunious. The old brokers in legis
lation withdrew from active business
and gave up Washington as their head
quarters. The rules with which the
Democrats began their career shut the
lobbyists out and excluded the multi
tude of "riders" that were mounted on
the appropriation bills prior to their
advent of power.
The Republicans obtained a narrow
majority in the present House, which
they tiave augmented by coalition with
the Green backers, and try turning out
six Democrats who were fairly elected.
The transition from one party to the
other revived instantly the scenes, the
methods, and the lobby that were
familiar before the tidal wave of 1871.
This session of Congress has brought
together the jobbers, the traders, the
thieves, and the speculators, who were
accustomed to flourish and to dictate
legislation under Republican rule. The
election of Keifer, and the leadership of
Secor Robeson, announced to thtj coun
try that prodigality was to be the law,
and that corruption was to fie the pfeM
tice of this Congress. The result
that the announcement was true.
At the end of eight months this Con
gress disperses, leaving the foulest record
in our legislative history, surpassing the
worst days of Grantism in reckless ex
penditure, and defying public opinion
by outrages thatare likely to receive con
dign punishment at the ballot box.
Heedless of the lessen of 1874, the Re
publican leaders exceeded their own
worst extravagance, and neglected the
duties which the people demanded at
thfir hands. Senator Allison's reluct
ant concession of seventy eight millions ex
cess over the last appropriation will
siund in judgement against them at the
fall election.— N. J'. Sun.
The Fight Againts Corruption.
It H well for the people of Pennsylva
nia to understand at the oulslart that
the present campaign is to lie a fight
with money iri it, hut. the money will be
used on one side only. Even if both
parties—and there are really hut two
parties to the struggle—were on an equal
footing so far as financial resources are
concerned, the men who aie fighting for
'pform would be debarred by tlietiaiure
of the contest from going into the mar
ket for votes and bidding ngainst the
Cameron machine. No reform can
come through the success of a party,
whether its pretentions, which wins by
pointing the ballot-box. That the party
which secures the offices by corrupt
means will make a corrupt use of them
afterwards is a fact established by the
history of ever country in which bribery
has at any lime been a potent factor in
polities.
The Democracy is neither surprised
nor dismayed by the desperate progrum
of the machine managers. When a
vigorous fight against the Cameron cor
ruptionists was decided upon it was ex
pected that the machine would seek to
maintain its power by the use of every
species of political knavery attainable.
Its triumps heretofore have been main
ly achieved by bribery, illegal voting
and false counting. So many of its ad
herents have been sent to the peniten
tiary for the two latter crimes that they
are not likely to be indulged in as free
ly as heretofore, but bribery, being less
easily detected, will be practiced by
Cameron's henchmen to a greater extent
than ever before known in the history
of the Btate. It is taken for granted
that every purchasable voter will be
bought by the machine and will work
and vote for the machine ticket. To
these men the Democracy and others
who desire reform in the politics of the
commonwealth do not intend to make
any frantic appeals. The wretch who
will make merchandise of the elective
franchise is lost to all sense of honor
and decency, and language addressed to
his reasons is worse than wasted.
But in spite of the thousands of venal
voters who are expected to sell them
selves to the Cameron machine, the
overwhelming defeat of the ring cannot
be doubted. A vast majority of the
people of the Keystone state have suffi
cient honesty and patriotism to con
demn the faction whose main reliance
in the present struggle is fraud—(and no
intelligent man needs to be told that a
purchased vote is morally and legally
as fraudulent as a vote gained by false
counting or one east by a repeater. Jl'
a majority of the people are ready to
sanction the use of money for corrup
ting the ballot then republican govern
ment in this state has practically caes
ed to exist. To indorse bribery as
legitimate is to make the servants of the
people their masters ; is to give the
party in power the right to perpetuate
its rule by buying up the voters at each
recurring election with themoney taken
from them by taxation. We have too
much faith in the integrity and intelli
gence of the people to believe that,with
their eyes open to the facts—and the
facts will be so present before the cam
paign closes that every elector can un
destand them—they will deliberately
vote to make themselves the perpetual
chattels of the Cameron machine.—

The True Way.
Wlt AT IS THE INTRUEST OF TIIT WORK I NO
ME N ?
Mayor I'otvderlev tells the readers of
the North American Jlcview, in the course
of a very able article, that the Knights
of Labor were organized to take the
place of the labor unions, which had
not answered all purposes as they should
have done. But we should like to ask
Mr. Powdcrly or any other equally sin
cere and intelligent friend of labor
what they can hope to gain by any po
1 itical action outside the Democratic
party. That party has always supported
the just demands and defended the
legal rights of labor. That was the
leading purpose of its formation. Un
der Jefferson, Jackson, and their suc
cessors, it fulfilled that mission until it
was split on the slavery question and a
minority party came into federal power.
But there is not a principle or a rule or
a maxim laid down anywhere by Thom
as Jefferson which does not make for
the protection of the plain common
man against the cunning devices of
legislation, by which combined capital
and centralized power are always seek
ing to appropriate the earnings of labor.
Let Mr. Powderly ami his friends look
all through this much talked of but
little understood system of Jefferson,
which is after all so simple and so easily
summed up in a lew great principles,
and tell us whether the laboring man
can ever make for himself a party or a
platform better calculated for the pro
tection of his rights than the Demo
cratic.
Let Mayor Powderly and those who
honestly co operate with him discounte
nance any separate political action of
manual laborers, and instead advise tbe
workingmen everywhere to organize
Jefferson associations, and enforce -lei
fersou's doctrine upon the parly which
he formed and vitalized to serve the
common people. Such associations
which, in the language of Senator Wal
lace, "shall reach into every election
district, and there teach the gospel of
individual right, local government and
pure administration, are among the best
that can be devised to produce that
harmony of counsel which is necessary
to cope with such a foe. Community of
interests begets unity of opinion, and
hence we must practice what we teach -
Such aft organization ol thinkers, speak,
ers and writers striking everywhere at
centralized power and corrupt rule, and
acting with und for the masses, will
speedily place us upon fighting equality
with the party of lire administration,
and give us an even chance in the great
struggle for popular rights. Unity and
successful progress can coine to our or
ganization only through closer following
of Jefferson's own practice. We must
elr, if we err at all, on the side of the
musses o! the people. We must incur,
as be did, the charge of tana culottisrn,
rather than hear the taint of aristocrat ic
tendency and moneyed control. Wo
must denounce, as he dij, every "con
trivar.ee lor corruption," and strip our
selves of responsibility for a svsteni that
enables men so to manipulate franchises
granted by the people as to amass
princely fortunes in a decadent the ex
pense of their rights anil privileges, and
we must attack with unhought pen and
the wondrous power ot honest poverty,
the use ot those fortunes to corrupt the
sources ami channels of public opinion
arid to pollute the ballot bo*.
Hamilton is the political saint of the
Republican party. Re was an avowed
monarchist, lie said in the constitu
tional convention; "All communities
"divide themselves into the few and the
"many. Ihe first are the rich and the
the other the mass of the
"people. 'I lie people are turbulent and
"changing ; they seldom judge or do
"termine right. Give therefore, to the
"hrst class a distinct, permanent share in
the government." No one will deny
that this has been pretty eflectually
done. Just before the last presidential
election General Garfield announced
that the influence of Hamilton was
waxing, while that of Jefferson was
waning. The Federalist-Republicans
draw, as they always did, and as they
boastfully avow, their inspiration from
Hamilton.
IT is to be remembered that when
Pattison entered upon the duties of his
office as controller he found official ex
travagance and municipal maladminis
tration prevailing to a remarkable de
gree in Philadelphia. The permanent
debt, the department expenses and tax
rate were all increasing yearly. From
the very outset Pattison turned the tide.
Instead of an average yearly addition
of 3,022,406 to the oity debt there is
now a steady reduction of $1,246,737
per annum ; the department expenses
have gone down from $8,184,961.20 to
16,883,326.92, a reduction per aiiuum of
$1,301,634.28; and the tax levy is re
duced from $2 25 to $1,90, a reduction
of the annual burden on property of
35 cents on every $lOO of valnation.
Mention these figures to your Republi
can neighbor who thinks Pattison is
"too young-"
Eloquent Figures.
The record which the Congress just
adjourned lias made is eloquent of ex
travagance. There was no thought of
economy. The tax-payer was lost sight
of. There were one hundred and filty
millions of surplus in the ttensury and
the Republican majority knew it and
felt no restraint. Appropriations for all
purposes were recklessly increased with
out any apparent regard for the com
mon interest of the whole people. The
sum total of appropriations for 1883 is
$284,243,097, or $77,532,021 more than
for 1882 and over $101,000,000 more than
for 1881. The statistics will speak for
themselves. The appropriation for pen
sions is $100,000,000, an excess over
1882 of $31,717,094. The excess of the
appropriation for rivers and harbors
over that for 1882 is about $7,190,075.
For post offices the excess is nearly $4,-
000,000, for the legislative, executive
and judicial departments over $2,300,-
000, for sundry civil expenditure about
$2,500,000, for the army and navy each
nearly a million, for miscellanenu-, mat
ters $23,000,938, for deficiencies $1,505,-

The party which is responsible for
this extravagunce has already begun to
make voluminous explanations, in the
vain hope of beclouding the matter and
making fiction play the part of truth.
But truth like murder "will out" and
the people justly murmur at this out
rageous raid upon the treasury. The
majority had the power to shape the re
cord of congress. It could have pre
vented this assault upon the treasury
had it seen fit. It chose rather to per
mit the gratification of personal aims
than to protect the interests of the
public. There is no earthly excuse for
instance for the increase of over seven
millions in the appropriation for rivers
and harbors, for there is an unexpended
balance of four millions of last year's
appropriation tor that purpose. But it
is useless for the people to murmur.
They must act. Members of congress
are public servants and when they fail
in their duty their places shout 1 be
filled by more competent and faithful
men. The majority should be held re
sponsible politically and the recreant
members of the minority personally for
the sins of this disreputable congress.

l'atf Ison's Prospects.
From Cincinnati Common ial.
Chairman Cooper, of the Regular Re
publican State committee of Pennsyl
vania, figures out General Beaver's elec
tion in this manner. He estimates
that, with a Labor ticket in the field, it
will draw 70,000 votes from Pattison, tiie
Democratic candidate for Governor, and
10,000 votes from Beaver, He allows
50,000 votes for Stewart, the Independ
ent candidate for Governor. This would
give Beaver 398,000 votes as against
252,000 fur Pattison and assure Beaver's
election.
But there arc two probabilities that
seriously affect this calculation. It is
absurd to suppose Stewart, who is one
ot the strongest and most popular can
didates, will not receive more than
fifty thousand this year. The feeling
now against C'ameronism is much strong
er than it was lust year, and it has had
time to organize itself. Stewart's vote
will not fall much below one hundred
thousand votes may go above that figure.
The other probability is that it the
laboring men put a ticket in the field it
will draw upon the Republican re
sources nearly as much as it will upon
the Democratic, What reason has Mr.
Cooper to think that seventy thousand
Democrats will vote the Labor ticket
and only ten thousand Republicans ?
It Mr. Cooper bases the chances of
Beaver's success upon such an estimate
he is bound to be grievously disappoint
ed. Beaver's vote will fall a good way
below 300,(XX) and Stewart's double the
50,000 allowed him by Cooper. Looked
at impartially, the prospect of Pattison's
election is about as flittering as he could
wish it to be, since the chances of a
compromise between the Regular and
Independent Republicans have van
ished.
Must Colored Men be Republicans.
George T. Downing, of Newport, It. 1.,
is one of the most intelligent colored
men of the country. Recently he wrote
to the Providence Journal a reply to
some criticisms ruado by that paper
upon the position of the colored voters
with regard to the Republican party.
Mr. Downing says that the Republican
party owes fully as much to the colored
people as the colored people owe to it,
and that, as there is at Lsuo between
the two great parties no question in
which the colored niHn is socially inter
ested, he is at liberty to join whichever
one his present. Circumstances show to
bo best disposed toward him, irrespec
tive of any sentiment of gratitude for
past favors. Mr. Downing maintains
that whatever help was given to the
negro by the Republican party was giv
en tor the party's own aggrandizement
and profit, and not for any philanthro
pic desire to free the slaves. While there
is a measure of truth in this latter asser
tion, it is not true in the degree asser
ted by Mr. Downing. The Republican
party would never have freed the ne
gro from slavery, and still less given
him all civil rights, but for the fiery en
thusiasm and unselfish devotion of the
abolition element of the party; and incc
Ijl''Jkfiu&Md&Ai
for a time that element obtained the
control, it was natural that to the whole
party should be ascribed the credit.
But the present loaders of the Republi
cans are so very different from those
who controlled the organization that
freed the slaves that to all intents and
purposes the party to-day has no more
claim to the gratitude of the color
ed men than the purchaser of an estate
has to claim descent font tiro family that
formerly owned it.
In this view of thocase, Mr. Downing's
first proposition—that the Republican
party owes us much to the colored peo
ple as they owe to it—understates the
facts. It owes far more. Without the
negro vote not one branch of the na
tional Government would be under Re
publican control. The slim majorities
in liotfi Houses of Congress depend
upon the colored voters so entirely that
an even division of these voters between
the two parties would have left a far
larger balance on the Democratic side
than now exists in favor of the Repub
licans. In the White Jlouse sits a Pres
ident elected 1 y the faithful devotion
of the colored people to a phantom
benefactor whose real form was long ago
laid in the grave with Lincoln, Greeley
and Sumner, Mr. Downing may well
ask what the present Republican party
has done to deserve the continued alle
giance of the colored voters. J1 will not
do to sneer at this protest as merely a
demand for more patronage. Even if
this is the case it is an entirely legitimate
demand, judging by the (booty and the
practice of the Republican leaders.
President Arthur is called a 'j ruc
tical politician" because lie knows
how to distribute the Government pat
ronage so as to secure a fair return in
votes for each appointment. The too
eaudid Mr. Flanigan, who expressed his
disgust at the thought of g"ing to tlio
Chicago Convention (or any other reason
except to get offices, lias just received
his reward. The German, the Irish and
the Scandinavian voters all receive due
recognition in the apportionment of
federal appointments; hut the negro,
more faithful and more courageous in
holding to his allegiance than any of
the other classes, is to a largo extent
forgotten in the. distribution of places.
It is not claimed that he is entitled to
office because of his vote—quite the
contrary. If the colored man is to be
invited into the Republican ranks at
the polls on the score of gratitude to
the party, he is entitled to a balancing
ol accounts, to see on which side the
ind'bt> dticss lies ; and if other Repub
licans habitually demand office as a re
payment for their votes, he certainly
cannot be treated ns a pariah for simply
following their example. There is one
point that the Republicon leaders would
do well not to overlook. The colored
voters can do without the Republican
party; the Republican party cannot do
without tlie colored voters. — Philadelphia

Democracy and Labor.
The "red headed and hopeful" editor
of the Scran ton Republican, was "red
headed and unworthy of himself or his
reputation as a usually fair man," when
in yesterday's issue ho adopted the
Lancaster Examiner's interpretation of
a circular issued recently by Chairman
Ilensel.
The Examiner is one of the vilest par
tisan sheets in the country. Its col
umns give daily evidence of the utter
luck, on the part of its editors, of re
spect for truth, and of their willingness
at all times to falsify the plainest and
most notorious facts with the hope of
reaping a partisan advantage.
Mr. flense! has issued nocircular any
part of which can be construed to mean
"that nice Democrats are to get all the
offices and that the workingmen are to
lie recognised by letting them do the
working and voting." He entertains
no such views of the rights and duties
of the workingmen. On the contrary,
as the files of the paper lie edits amply
attest, he has always been the ardent
Iriend of the men who toil. He has
counseled tlieuj at all times to their ad
vantage. lie has encouraged their every
effort to improve their condition and in
crease their rewards.
And, better yet, he is the wisely
chosen manager in the pending cam
paign, of a party which was born in the
necessity for the protection of the com
mon people against centralized power
in the hands of the few ; whose founder
was a common man, living with common
men, and fighting always for the rights
of common men; and every act of
whose history, being legitimately Demo
cratic, has been in the direction of
securing greater privileges to labor
through unremitting opposition to cen
tralization and monopoly in all its
forms. Among all the political organi
zitions the country has ever bad, the
Democratic party has been the only
constant and untiring advocate and
defender of the people as against the
"rich and well born." In Hamilton's
servile fealty to the latter both the old
time Federal party and the present
day Republican party bad their origin.
(The circular which Mr. Ilensel sent
out and which the Examinor and the
Scran ton Republican commented upon,
urged the following points :
"1. The importance of irreproachable
local nominations.
"2. The recognition of working men
in the details of organization, local nom
inations, meetings, clubs, etc."—Wilkes
