THE (l ME up
The- revolutionary designs of the
Democratic plotters, as foreshadowed
by the POTTER
. resolution, Were
brought to an unceremonious end on
Friday last by the introduction of
the , following resolutiOn by Mr. Huu-
BARU, a 4epublican'member from 11-
.
linois. The motion was to suspend
the rules and adopt the resolution
' WuunEA..s, At the joint meeting:of the
two houses of the
. .XLIVth Congress, con
vened pUrstiant to law and the Constitu
tion,' for the purpose of ascertaining and
counting the votes for President and Vice-
President for the term commpeing March
4, I:..t";', on counting the votes Rutherford
B. Hayes was declared elected President.
itnd Wil . .iam A. Wheeler was declared
elected Vice-President • for such term ;'
therefore,
P(... red, That no subsequent Congress,
and neither House, has jurisdiction to re
vise the action at such joint. meeting, and
any attempt by either House to annul or
disregaid such'action or the title to ofliee
-arhsing therefrom would tie revolutionary,
and is disapproved by this House.
The'thio• n was SO " sudden-like,"
c•
as - Pat would say, •that the Demo
crats were entirely demoralized and
knew not e what to do. They were
caught napping. Conscious that the
"investigation " has proven anentire
failure, and that the attempt to in
terfet e with President Havnsr title
by the House was arousing public
indignation against Air party, they.
,
were compelleil to -repudiate Mr.
PoTrEn's scheme and l declare, almost
unanimously, that this' Congress has
no • right to undo the work of its
predecessor in counting 'the electoral
'vote, no right to confer original juris
diction upon the Supreme Caurt in
the matter, Ito, right to create any
tribunal for \the purpose:of trying
the ease.
, Therecould scarcely be a
more .comprelierisive disavowal of
Mr. PUTTER'S letter:and of alFfilie de
signs which his movement comprised.
If the . Democrats of the present
House mere usually bound by their
votes, such•a declaration could have
but one meaning. It .could mean
only this: That, either because the
revelations made to the POTTER Com
mittee:are seen to have been wholly
ineffectual. and unimportant, or
because the liouest feeling of the
country- has shown itself in a way
that these men not dare disre
gard, or both, they have been forced
into unwilling declaration 'that
there will 4 no attempt at
relvolh
tion. It does not follow ,that they.
may not swallow their words just as
they have clone before l At the open
ing of' this investigation fifty Demo
crats of the House repudiated their
own votes of four days before, and
shameles;:ly voted "No" where they
bad voted "Yes." But Friday's vote
is - so sweeping, and the declaration
. is so explicit, that it would seem : to
require.more than-Democratic audac
_ ity to reverse them. •
- • Following this emphatic deelara
. tiOn carne the report of the Judiciary
pommittee,on-the same subject, which
ie c-on(lopsol in this.resolutioti:
that the iwo houses of the
• NLIVth pacing counted the
votes east for President and Vice-Presi
dent of the Vitited Statrs, and having de.
clarcil ituthe . rford B. Hayes and WOlism
A. Wheeler to be duly elected President
and Vice• President, •there is , no power in
any subsequent ('i.ngtess to reverse tliat
declaration, nor can any such power be
exercispd by the courts of the .United
Elates, or any othce . ltribunal that Con
greas can.ereate under the Constitution.
Were it not for the past infidelity
of the Democratic party the country'
might - repose in the assurance-that
the . Presidential title question is now
iirmanently settled, bnt.the record
of that party is such as to arouse the
gi;avest apprehensions; and perfect
safety rests only in its complete over

J EST RETRIBUTION.
The slave catchers of the .olden
time may now begin to repent of
their acts, particularly those who in
dulged'in kidnapping, as,- by a de
cision7.of an Ohio court, the party
thur.s forcibly - carried out of a free
into a slave State, and sold into
slavery, ha.s cause of action against
ttip kidnappers ! for damages. A.
wc . )ln:an, thlis carried'?ut of Ohio and
sold into slavery, has recovered sev
eral thousand dollars from her kid
nappers, and the money will 'un-•
otiestionablY: be collected. What a
compensation this is, to be sue . I It
is the most terribte penalty yet in-.
flitted for_ the barbarous practices
of the slave power, and a'punislinient
of the agents of that institution,
which will no doubt make many a
slave catcher tremble for the 'conse-
Cluence . of acts which he believed had
long since been forgotten. In the
olden time, we had a gang of thcise
' Hounds hi human .Shape, ready and
willing to hunt down defenseless
black men and women,' and, drive
them into slavery. It would., be
strange, indeed, if these hunters'did
not fiirce . someSree people into slaY
cry; as they were ready, then, to do
any work of that kind for money. It
may yet occur that Ohio law will `e
adopted and applied in Pennvlvanta.
The course justice has. taken in its
connection is a gratification to all
Who believe in its Divine impulse, as,
"be'sure your sirsfs will find:you out."
Justice may tarry; but c it, comes at
last.

We areaware that our wily friend

which Mr. S. professes to be attached
at the present time, although it is

of the. Greenback - Club:in censuring

" Our friends of the Towanda
Greenback Club evidently carried
home with them the temper that pre
vailed at the State Convention.

it could not prevail to give Piollet

WILLIAM CVLLEi BRYANT.
.WILLLtM CULLER BRYANT died at
his' residence in New York .City June
12th, 1878, after , an illness lof two
weeks. On May 20th the 'bust . of
Muzzini, the Italian patriot, was tin•
veilal at Central Park.' Mr. : BRYANT
made an address: The same 'day, -
when about to enter the • houSelof
friend, he fell and struck his head
against the vestibule step. Ile was
taken up insensible but very' soon
recovering was escorted
_home. He
gradually grew wore and died of
paralysis, .
.*
Mr, BRYANT was the son of a phy
sician, and was b6rn in Cummingten,
Mass., November 3,1794. In boyhood
(1810) he published a successful
poem, The Embargo, and followed
that with the Spanish, Revolution,
by which he attracted favorable no
tice. He graduated at Williams Col
lege, and illustrated the beginning of
his legal studies by writing the re
markable poem "Thanatopsis," which
was the first and finest of his compo
sitions. He commenced the l practice
of law :at Plainfield, Mass.-, having
been admitted to \ the bar in 1815.
He removed to Great Barirington,
and gave promise of legal success, but
preferred iiterature, and having writ
ten for the magazines. and read' a
poem at Harvard commencement, - he
removed to • New York, wherd he ed
ited the New York Retiiew. In 1820
he joined the editorial staff of the
Ereuing Poxt, edited by WM. COLE
MAN, whom he soon succeeded. - He
made the Part a free-trade organ, and
havint enlisted ::WILLIAM LEOGETT,
paid more attention to literature, vis
ited England and other parts of Eu
rope, and Orough the remainder: of
his life continued to enjoy his annual
vacation by travel there. A, eom
plet'redition of his•poems were pub
lished in 18$2, and nineteen years
later be published a volume - of trav
els, which was succeeded in 1867 by
Letters from Spain. In 1864 he pub
lished another volume of poems, and
theSeliave beeiffrequentlfrepublish:
ed with additions. A volume of his
Orations and Addresses appeared in
1873 and a Popularr-History of the
United States the next year. He
spent the years from 1865 to 1871 in
translating Homer, and continued his
editorial labors incessantly. On the
19th of June, 1876, he was presented
with a vase . of• rare artistic merit,
with ceremonies that increased • the
value of the gift. Since then his
manner of life has not been marked
by any. special event. He held a
prOminent place among tho citizens
of New York, and, enjoyed an envia
ble rdj)utation as a man 'and as a
scholar throughout this country and
beyond the limits in which the Eng
lish language is . spoken.
In an ablY-Written article on "The
way to Success," the Tribune, which'
lets hail decided Democratic leanings
.for the past few years, sounds the
alarm against the intrigues of the
Democratic plotters, and adds some
good advice to Republicans, which
is as applicable in this section as
anywhere else, and should be care
fully considered. The Congressional .
question is of more importance than
anything seise, as , upon Republieaci •
supremacy in that branch of Congress
.now depends our only hope. But
here is the extract from the Tribune:
- "Other causes of alarm are found.
The House has been trying to cripple
the army, and . to prevent its use for
the suppression of riots in any State.
But there is much reason to fear that
the schemes of Cominunists and of
the more desperate leaders, of the
Trades Unions.may result in violent
outbreaks. Pittsburg . last year,
Quebec on Wednesday last, had ex
perience of the need of a force spill-
Cient to mantain order. But Demo
cratic demagogues want the votes
of rioters, and therefore strive to
cripple the only military force avail
able for the immeiliate suppression
of mobs.*. It must not ,be forgotten.
that the next Preitidential election
may be close. If Democrats control
both the Senate and the House,
may be doubted Whether any popular
majority conceivable will suffice to
prevent defeat of the popular will.
The nest election is liable to he a
mere farce—the least pretenceof sub
mission to the will of the
•such unscrupulous partisanship as
has appeared in the House has op
portunity to control . the action
both houses .as .to _ the counting of
Electoral votes in 1880.
The Republicans can succeed only
by union. If they mean to save the
country, there must be no more fac
tious wrangling. The attacks upon
leading Republicans because of (lit* ,
ferences about this or that matter of
detail must be stopped. The party
eannot afford : to train its batteries
- on its own forces. • Mr. Beatty was
very property - put down by the Re- 1
publicans of Ohio on Wednesday,
and, General Butler, if he continues
way upon the Administration,will be
understood as finally seceding from
the - Republican party in order to
lead the communists. But milichif
making - must be stopped on both
sides. It will not do, if the Repub
lican party 'intends to preserve the
country or its dwn:existence, to tol
'crate 'proscriptive. warfare against
those who dissent from the President
in regard to matters of public policy.
Ile is in official charge; and it Will
not be possible for the party to es
cape.full responsibility for. the aers
of the Administration; but those who
dissent from those acts must be treat
ed as men who have a right to f
heard. in the counsels of the party
long as they do not give aid to e
common enemy.

Tnn Rev. ; JosErti Codx, in the
course of his. new leCture, delivered
last week in Chicago, remarked that
Communism was not to be feared in
this country exept as the labor strikes
give inopportunity. The distinction I
between red and white republican
ism
was this: one held that every man
Must be paid according to his needs ;
the other held- that every man-must
be paid according to his deeds. The
difference between the position of
DIVES and LAZARUS in this country
and their position in the Old World
*as that they change about here, for
neither of them :has any hereditary.
rank. The sons of DIVES might easily
become poor, and the sons of Lazar
us become rich. On account of the
flexibility of American society, the
rich and the poor easily change places,
and, therefore, in the United States,
the cause of the poor twn was every
,man's cause. He held that the aver
age workingman, while willing to
work should be encouraged by such
means as would enable Lhini to edu
cate his children and to maintain a
fair-position in his rank as a laborer.
On. r the other hand, when.the
_average
workingman rose up in riot merely at
OA instigation of Communistic dec
laration—when trades-unionists Mill
fated with ComMunistic head-centres
-men - who made their living very
largely by 'fleecing the poor, as was
shown by the history of the French
Commune-capital had a riglt to put
down its foot' vigorously and say,
a s it'has done in many a city' in the
East, " We will not employ 'a single
operative who is a member of a trad
es-union." 'lt was the only safety for
capital.
PHILADELPHIA Times: Tie changes
in the militia law enacted at the. fast
session of the Legislature were all in
the direction of greater simplicity of
organization and therefore of greater
efficiency. One of the greatest obsta
cles to the practical usefulness of the
militia: has been the ,superabundance
of officers and especially of general
officers, with their'staffs In time of
peace they are useless, but Possibly
ornamental. In service they.a're not
'only useless but very expensive, awl
the Legislature has done well to dis
pense with most of them and with the
superfluous machinery of a dozen di
visions, providing for . the consolida
tion of the entire force of the State
into five brigades, with a single ma
jor general, commanding under the
Governor. None of the brigades ever
have'amoiiiited to much more than a
respectable regiment, and under the
new arrange►dent, with the regiment
as the real Unit of organization, the
mtia will 'be much more easily
moved and directed. There is 'a
great deal of work to be done to effect
the complete organization that obr
National Gluard mfires. but the
Governor knows what is to be done
and may be trusted'to do it.
Mits. Ctiawm, the venerable widow
of InomAs Coawi , died suddenly
at her borne in Ohio, on Monday
morning. During her later years
she had been feeble in body; hut
bright and cheerful in spirit. She'
was a tall and stately woman, of
strong character and domestic tastes.
During slouch of her noted husband's
activepublic life she - remained quietly
at home caring for their five children
of whom are still living. Mrs.

in the woods ;of Ilichard -Rooney, on
Thursday last, witnessed a sight which
they will not target Sloyll. They cut down
a large tree about WI ft.et in ;length, and
when peeling saw a large Slltlkt?
liis way out of a hullo* in the top which
they killed. To gratify curiosity they
cut into the hollow, and found a full den,
which contained from 2." - itO 30 reptiles.
When uncovored the shakes made a
sudden attack upon the parties, lufewere
nearly all killed' by the use of the :tae and
spud. The snakes were about :11 feet in
length ami the body very thick, and of
a dark .color, and are supposed to he. spot
ted adder.'
Tit F', Oil eity .Myrirk, in its exhaustive
report „of oil operations for 'May. says
that 4;2 wells welt. finished in the Nlue
log of this large number 41
were dry holes. On the last day of tLt
rinnith there were :170 wiAls drill in aml
:10:1 ties uP and budding. Comitaryd
with the figures for ,April there was 1,11 in
crease of 1.7,3 in the initialer of Wells com
pleted. Tl:e Bradford disti jet col:thus-4
to be the 'scene of the greatest actii is r.
In this field :in; of the whole, inimbtit t.f
wells were finished. The daily prodre.
tion of the entire region was inetea,c(l.
and is now :ts,5lKl barrels. The average
daily shipments fwirt the region tor the
month of May Were 31,170 barrels. 'rho
total stocks in the region on the Hist day
of June Were 4,6513.302 barrels. The pipe
line runs dating May averaged 30,207 i bar
rels daily.
Limn what the Tunhannock R,27filbli
r,th says about snails :
We had always considered these little
creatures as perfectly harmless Until the
other evening, when our attention was
.called to their work in the 'garden of
Mr. John *topics, on Tninpike street.'
There one of the most remarkable sights
we ever beheld was before us. The g,t mind
was literally covered with the little slimy
animals, and the garden vegetables total
ly ruined.. The snail feeds upon the plant
similar to to the potato bug, and is far
more ilesisuctive, '4ey.stay under 1.)..a.rd.':
and in other shay Fy places during the
heat of the day, hat at about -I o'clock in
the afternoon come out mid carry on'their
nefarious work. Mr. Stemples informs
us that he will nut attempt to replant °his
parden.

Grills, and Richard 11. Sanderson, the
Commissioner appointed under the new
coun ty a c t, to set Jfr the territory contem
plated in the creation of lackawana
county, have arrived on the giound and
were in the city - yesterday. They 'are 1
considerably embarrassed by the infliction
proceedings instituted at the county seat
on Monday; and hesitate to proceed with i
:a
their work until they leil the up shot. of
.this last stratagem on the part of thos_e
who are opposed to Lackawanli county.—
The argument will take place on the
application before Judge 1 j;irding in a

to make the injunction permanent, they
will be able to proceed with their %yo l k.—

LAST week, Mr. .1. L. Griffing brought
to our office a jar of water obtained from
a spring on his - farm near Heart Lake.
On the water in this jar was quite a thick
layer of 'oil, and the smell clearly indicat
ed the kind of oil ; it was petroleum. 'Mr.
Griffing says that anywhere around the
spring, if astick is thrust into the ground::
the hole at'once becomes tilled with water
on top of which there is a scum of oil.,
The presence of oil there was discovered
a short time ago when a little girl of the
family went to the sprffig to wash her
toy wagon
.after which she was charged
of having been at the can of coal oil, which
she denied; and told what she had been
doing. A visit to the spot revealed the
presence of the oil. When the spring is
low- the . prelence of the - oil is not, ap r
ent, but after a rain or when the sp g
rises, then-the oil is thrown off and -
tinues. to 'flew until the water lo -.
Thaithe article found is; petmle is
certain, but just 'in what quantitiesirex
ists or where the reservoir isonay or may
not be - ever known. The showing would
seem to offer enconrageMent for the sink
ing of a well. Let the test lte made by
all means.—Montroet Republican:
