Tim South Carolina Democrats
are very uneasy about Attorney
General :Brestste'r's coming prosecu
tions for election frauds. The land
of the - palmetto and tissue ballot
does not relish interference with the
lovely political system which has fur
nished the Democratic party with
any required majority .for the - last
few elections, and our AttOrney-Gen
eral's vigorous methods • promise
trouble for the almost numberless
law breakers.
THE Convention' which met :on
Tuesday and _unanimously selected
Semitor W. T. Davies as the choice
of the Republicans of Bradford coun
ty for Lieutenant Governor well se
fleeted the sentiment- of the people
whom -it represented. We believe
that the candidate of our Convention
will most certainly be the , nominee
or the State Convention; and ' that
he will be next Lieutenant Governor
of Pennsylvania. His nomination
wilt be satisfactory to all good Re
publicans and kill bring votes tolhe
ticket- Bradford county is always
ready to help the party and now gives
it-the assistance a a worthy, popular
candidate.
Tua Charlestown News and Coile
ier after haring tacitly admitted that
the South Carolina leaders are guilty
of gross election frauds now insists
that none shell be punished and :as
serts that they were justifiable in de
frauding the voters of their franchise
and the people of their rights. Per-
baps Attorney General Brewster will
- not agree with this statement and
certainly bis letters promise speedy
punishment for the law breakers
- whom the Democratic journal so
'4F . ' -

~'--,,
vigorously ttilholli. What the peo
ple deinand is a pure ballot and a
Ml,; - fair co nt; and whether the
fiauds be in uth Carolina or Penn
sylvania ; in New,York or Louisiana,
the sentiment of the citizens requires
that the perpetrators be punished;
Democrats and Republicans alike
should be compelled to observe the
laws which we are made to insure
our institutions against corruption ;
and the men wbo by bribery or in
timidation prevent a just expression
of the people's will, should be sent
to the peaitent t iaries where other
eriminals are taken\
THE Reviett is in dense ignor
-ince respecting tb meaning of the
terms "stalwart" 'and "half-breed,"
and says if adherence to party or
ganization from principle is not gen
uine stalwartism it would like "to be
informed what is. It is always a
pleasure to give any information we
mikx, possess, and we very gladly fur
-nish definitions to our forgetful con
temporary, taken tiro - the latest
political dictionary. The men. who
supported the administration in the
contest with Senator Conkling and
who constitute the Blaine following,
are called half-hrgds; the men who
followed Conkling or his supporters,
are named stalwarts. We believe
this is a concise definition of the two
wings of the Republican way. That
these two wings exist every body
knows and- it is useless to deny the
fact; but the situation is not unus
ual, and it does not imply any divis
ion of the party which will benefit
the Democracy. Except in great
crises there are always leaders in a
party; each with -his following which
in caucuses opposes the wishes of the
other portions of the party ; and to
day those leaders and their followings
are classified as stalwarts and half=
breeds. '
The definition by the Review,
"those who adhere to the organiza-.
tion from principle," applies equally
to stalwart and half? breed ; :andeov
era every true Republican who will
do his duty as a man, and as a mem
ber of the party to which he owes
allegiance. - That a man is a half
breed or stalwart is no imputation of
lack of party fidelity, and
. furnishes
no eviiience of back-sliding from the
party organization. It merely shows
which portion of - one party the voter
soclassified belongs to.
After a nomination has been niade
we believe - the Republicans of Brad
ford county will give th Party nom
inees' a strOng,.. hearty suppOrt re
gardless of their classification, .and
that, careless of their affiliation with
one wing on the other of the party,
will work for them as Republjeans.
Before the caucuses there are stal
warts and half-breeds, after it all are .
Republicans. A nomination, unites
the two branches and they will work
together earnestly to defeat the
common enemy. . The Democrats
may shout over divig - i - onin the party,
and build hopes of succel:s:pponße
publican dissension,but still ,their old
Tole of minority party. will be left
them to play, and the Republican
differences will be found to tie all
•
settled at the caucuses.
PARTY FEALTY.
~ .
One of the things necessary for
the success of any party in-the hon
orable fealty of its members. There
may be leaders in a party and they
may have follower?' who, wish most
earnestly for their success in any pf
their ambitious projects; 'but above
all. and superior to the claim of any
leader is the fealty owed to the party
which represents the principles and
policy in which we believe.! Rivals :
and leaders must of necessity create
feeling and antagonisms in:a "party;
but these are never dangerous when I
'subordinate, as they always, should
be. to party fidelity. NO honest 1
leader will ever, because of his defeat.
attempt to injure his party ; and no
follower will sustain a leader in_an
effort to work injury to his organiza
tion,-if he properly observes his alle-•
gianee to patty. The dissensions
which sometimes arise in parties may
always be checked and robbed of
every 'danger by an honest adherence
to party organization.-----
The objection that party linES are
drawn to cloSely, and that it is not
manly to submit to the rule of the
caucus, is usually-either childish, or
suggested by a personal ambition'
which has been unsuccessful in the
only tribunal to which party differ
ence can be properly referred; Can:-
cuses are -necessary ; "orgadization
essential, and fidelity to party is man
&kind honorable. The_ reasons given
toi a refusal to support party . nomi
pees are usually such as are refera
ble to thwarted ambition, and are
not honest objections to the party=
or its practices. If a man joins a
party becausefhe believes-its, pripci
ples are better than those of, itsop:
ponents; and. if he. is thOroug - hly
convinced of its superior fintegilty,
wisdom or patriotism, he will not
refuse to suppOrt it because the party
machinery does not always grind out
his perSonal choice as *a nominee..;
men who join a party for spoils;i
usually grumble . when they see pe
cuniary reward distributed to others
and when their claims are refused:
Such men have no party, and fidelity:
to organization cannot . be expected
from them. They dO not work for
say party except they see prospect
of. money ahead ; and they - de:serve
nothing from a party except forget
fulness. Such men, Who are un
worthy of the confidence or recogni;
tion of those who•love principle and .
have--honest convictions,' are most
Often found leading attacks
. upon
honest candidates whom the party
!has nominated. They. usually have
I a fullowirig, , and frequettly do great

MEM
bane to the . Pettl• to which theY
nominally_ be long, by= taking from it
honest men - Who are caught by cheap
talk about independence :and rings.'
People are milded by cries of *and and
are carried to an enemy's Camp by it
siren song about bossism; leadership,
or wire pulling, that has not three
grains of sense in it. A rebellious
banner with noble sentiments upon
it - will deceiveitiny who carelessly
neglect to examine the logic and ar
gument upon which: the rebellion is
founded. All thitt, is necessary is
that voters should hink for them
selves, and carefully examine the
principles of candidates and see upon
*hat- platform they stand anti what
honest - reason there is for their can
didacy; and if they do this there
will be few who will renounce, even
temporarily, their fealty to party.
,
If a party deserves anything from
its members, it deserves an bonor,*:
ble submission to the will of atrui.V
pott
jority. If it is worthy of any sup -
,_
it is worthy of manly, honest wo k
in aid of the party unity; and we

upon the question , : ." What do I owe

Political Gleanings.
GEN. B F. Butler refuses to assist
Guitean. Perhaps he is afraid the
Bay State would object and defeat
him for Governor.
—The York -Press believes that
Channey F. Black will be unanimous

ernor by the Democratic Convention.
—One,of the, great and ringing
speeches of the last Presidential
campaign was that .of Colonel Bob
Ingersoll, delivered at the I Cooper
Institute, New York, three weeks
before th election. Said the.fgreat
orator : I had rather trust a party'
than any man. If General Garfield
dies, the Republican party iives; if
General Garfield dies, General Ar
teur will take his place—a brave,
and honest and intelligent gentle
man, upon whom every Republican'
can rely: (Applause.] And if he
dies, the . Republican party lives, and
as long as 'the ,, Republican party
does not die the great Republic will
live. As long as ; the Republican
party lives this will be the asylum of
the world. Let me tell you, ,Mr.
Irishmen, this is the only country on,
the earth where Irishmen have had
enough to eat. Let me tell you, Mr.
Germen, yo . o have more liberty here
than you had in Fatherland. Let
me tell you, all men, that this is the
land of humanity: - Oh! I love the
old Republic, bounded by the seas,
walled by the wide air, domed by
heaven's blue, and lit with the eter

ly adopted :
•
WHEREAS, We, the • Republicans of
Bradford county assembled in Convention
agreeable to the call of the County Com
mittee, desire to present-for the consider
ation of the Republican State Cony. ration,
soon to assemble, and r to the people of
the State, ono of our most worthy citizens
for the position of Lieutenant tjov ernor,
Therefore

.7. K. Newell and Captin 13. B. Mitchell
be and are hereby appointed delegates to
repreSent Bradford county in the Repub
lican State Convention, to meet in Har

Resolved, That we concur in' the nom
ination of W. H. Swetland (or Senatorial ,
delegate, presented by Wyoming county.
After

opted it was moved and carried that
a' committee wait upon Senator Da,
vies, and ask him to reepond to the
unaniknotis ,wish of the convention
for his nomination by the State Con
vention for Lieutenant Goternor.
The committee ArtiS appointed
Consisting of HOU. E. R. Myer, Ron.
B. L.porte and C. E. Gladding,
who waited upon the Senator, but

Eugene Loomis, of Troy offered
the'following - resolution which was
read by the chair.:
WHEREAR, Rotation . in office is a prin
ciple and part of the policy, of our Re.
publican form of government ; „There& ne
be-it
Resolved. That it is the sense' of this
Convention that the best interest of the
Republican party in Bradford county in
quires that incumbents -of -all county
offices and of such legislative offices as
are filled by the votes of the people of
Bradford county alone, should not be
candidate for a second term, or be put
in nomination therefor by the Conven
tions of said county. . -
One of the delegates moved that
the resolution be laid on the table ;
but the chair holding that. as no mo
tion had been made to pms . the reso
lution it was not properly before the
Convention ; the motion was with
drawn. A motion to pass the reso
lution was then made and seconded.
It was objected to the Motion that
the • .business of the convention,
was ,i to nominate . delegates
to the < State Convention, and
not to make rules . for party •
government: A delegate asked that
the call for the Convention be read,
and it was stated that the call was
for such ottier_ business as might
comobefore them as well as for the
norninatiou of delegates; This being
the understanding of the majority of
the delegates, the resolution was de
cided to be proper. Chairman Young
made a brief speech against the re
soluion. Mr. Loomis! said ( a word
; I
in i favor and the vote was taken

Thre being no farther business
before the convention, upon motion

were left free to work for the best
interests of Bradford county and her
candidate in such a way as they
think beats! Everything was tar
moniaris, and the delegates with
cheerful unanimity .agreed 'upon
such united action as they thoUght

IMPORTANT NEWS
Defending Dorsey.
WASHINGTON, March 31 —The ar
gument of the motion to quash the
indictments in the Star Route cases
attracted a large crowd of spectators
in the morning to the Criminal Court.
The Government was represented by
District Attorney . Corkhill, Messrs.
Bliss, Of. New York ; Merrick of
Washington, and .Kerr, of Pennsyl
vania ; and, the defendants by Messrs
IL G. Inkersoll, Potter, Wilson,
Shellsbarger, Chandler, and others.
Mr. Ingersioll opened the argument
for his client, Stephen W. Dorsey.
The basis of the motion was a lack
.Of jurisdiction i on the part of the
Grand Jury-which founl the indict
ment, and Leertain technical defects
'and irregularities, He argued that
the mode of procedure by a Grand'
Jury was governed by the Maryland
Act of 1722. Under that law no
man could be indicted unless lie was
"bound over," or unless the indict
ment was found on the knowledge of
the Grand Jurors themselves, or un
less it was preiented by order of the
court; and be claimed that neither
of these_ conditions,exist - in the find
ing of the indictment in this case.
After proceeding for some time, Mr.
Ingersoll was: interrupted by the
Judge, who said : "I have no doubt
on the subject at all if the statute of
1722 is - in force in the District of
Columbia. If it be, then the motion
to quash will have to be sustained."
Mr. Bliss —"Assuming the ; facts
stated to be true."
Judge Wylie--" Yes ; assuming
that:the indictment was sent before
the Grand Jury without an order of
the court or without an arrest."
Mr. Ingersoll—"Of course, as to
what was actually done in the Fre
sentatkin of finding of tihe indictment,
we do not know, except from the re
cord, or from what fails to appear
on the record. 'I take it that the
facts are these The parties were
not bound over.; and the indictment
was not found on, the knowledge_ .of
the Grand Jurors themselves and
there never was any order from the
Courts to the District . Attorney to
write and lay an indictment before
the Grand Jury."
Judge. Wylie—" The whole ques-'
Lion •turns on the question , as to the
existence of this law of 1722 as a
law of the District." " •
Mr Ingersoll—"By the statute of
1801, the laws then on the statute
book of Maryland became the law of
the District. The law of 1722 must
have been on the statute book, _as
there is no record of its repeal."
Mr. Ingersoll_ spoke . ,-for an hour
and fifty minutes, and In (=elision.

It is every delightful thought to devote

this sunny 'afternoon to Longfellow, to
the companionship of a gentle and imOr

swthit us with the hymn of his resigna

to. mourn. We do not shrink from that
death which only opens to our vision the
picture which was hid I,rons is before.
Of what account to us •is the inn itself :
compared with the radium of its light
which nits the earth with its influence?

The Rev. Dr. Bartol, one - of the
old friends of Longfellow, and one
who was permitted the privilege of,
attending the poet's funeral with
few other friends, pail a touching
tribute to-day to the memory of his
friend:
waijor Andre and Cyrus W. Field.
NEw YORK, March 31.—The mYs-
terious but somewhat futile effort a
month or two ago to destroy Cyrus
W. Field's monument to Major
Andre at Tappan, Rockland County,
has been followed by an other at
tempt Cqueley mysterious and intin
nitely more successful. Last night .
about 11 o'clock the village of Tap
pan was startled by the report of a
terrible explosion, and a little search
ing revealed the fact that the noise
had issued from the Andre monu
ment. An examination showed that
a bold attempt had been made to de
stroy the entire pile. A- hole had
been drilled into the shaft of the
monument running upwards from the
bottom, and filled' with dynamite or
some other powerful detonating sub
stance which had evidently been ex
ploded by concussion. Effects of
explosion were,ruinious in the extreme
almost the entire base of the
.monu
ment being blown- to atoms. Sev
eral large„pieces of granite weighing
one hundred pounds each were
broken from the shaft and the whole
was cracked and roared in nearly
every part, the inscriptions, however,
remaining Compartively . unharmed.
- The job was evidently the work off;
bungler • r had the hole been
more ski_ ly drilled the monument
could ardly have eseeped • comblete
destruction.. As it is, the shalt is
left .
.on three small pieces of base, an
unsightly wreck, surrounded on every
hand by shapeless fragments of its
-ruined--parts. So i fer as can be learn
ed there is no clue whatever to the
perpetrators of the act.
Mr. Cyrus W. Field was visited at
his officei : and informed & reporter
that he was off the track of th e cul
prits. "The trail does not stop with
that fellow Hendrix by any means,"
said Mr. Field. 'He has fled, spirit
ed away by his employers, but
have clues to his principals whiclC
promise to reveal the whole conspir-
acy. The revelation will astonish the
public. To • the monument, I feel
as if . the best course would be to
allow its ruins to remain as they are
to mark the rascality of the scound
rels who inspired these seta. If the
people do not want the. monument
there I am not going to insist upon
it."
The .11OrniversIty Roof Saes we. by
LONDON, April I.—The annual Uni
versity boat race between Oxford
and Cambridge was rowed today
over the , usual course from - Putney
to Mortlake, and resulted in a de
cisive victory for Oxford. The weath
er was beautiful, and the attendance
was large, though the interest was
not as great as in former years. , A
stiff breeze prevailed early in .the
day and blew right across the coarse
making the water somewhat rough,
but just before the boats started in
the race, the wind quieted and shift
ed somewhat. There was then a good
breeze behind the crews, but the wa
ter-was fairly smooth. .
The boats started one minute past
one o'clock. The Cambridge 'crew
was the first to come out on the riv
er. They took the Middlesex side,
the final betting was five - to one on
Oxford. Cambridge was the first
to take the water and immediately
led by half a length, but were caught
and passed .by Oxford before fifty
yards had been traversed. At the
soap works. - a mile and a half from
the starting point, the Oxford crew
Were leading by three lengths; at
Hammersmith Bridge, two furlongs
further on, they were four lengths in
front, and off Cheswick Mall, Cam
bridge seemed to be fairly done with.
The Oxford crewfinished, in good
form, winning by • twenty lengths.
The Cambridge men were exhausted
at the finish, and their rowing was
irregular.
