the a Evans fraud," and without having
been instructed by " secret circulars" or
otherwise from the chairman of the Rad
ical State Central Committee, undoubted
• ly supposed the same tactics were to be
adopted as heretofore in such cases, which
was to say that the "Republican party is
not to be blamed for the acts of its offi
cers, we can't help it," and allow the
culprit to escape with his booty, making
h eve goat of him to shield those high
er in office, giving a sort of a sham inves
tigation of the affair to appease the wrath
of an indignant people. But this week
the readers will bunt in vain for the
slightest allusion to the affair in his col
.rituna What has produced the change
no suddenly? A ",secret circular" from
the State Committee instructs the Radical
press that silence on this affair is the only

DEMOaRATIC STATE COII3IIITEE,
CLEARFIELD,
Sir :—I address you as an earnest and
active Democrat. The present contest is
one of great importance, and its results
will be potential upon the Presidential
election of next year. The tide is is our
Wen., and the extravagance, misrule, and
negitiam of the ''enemy• are silently but
surely- destroying them. .Notwithstand
lig this; they possess the spoils and offi
ces, and will make a desperate struggle to
hold them. • • • •
Pie secret of success is attention to de
tails. It is for you and those yon call
around you to work out these details in
your locality. ..
Oct ready to poll every Democratic vote.
If this be done, our majority will be very
large. Now is the time to begin the work.
Do not wait for your associates. Go at it
yourself, and they will follow.
See that every Democrat is registered.
See that no fraudulent names are put on
the lists. Mark down suspected names,
and trace out the fraud. They will com
mit any fraud that will get them a vote,
and then prate about honesty. Make out
'your lists of reliable Democrats, hopeless
Radicals, and doubtful men. Go over
those lists and compare them with the
registry, and verify and correct them.—
One will be a check upon the other.
Bring influences to bear upon the doubt
ful men ; use every fair argument to con
vert them. Set before them the charac
-1 ters and records of our candidates. Both
are spotless and above attack. Give me
the names of the doubtful men in your
district, as far as you can, but do not
negleet Democrats in order to attend to
this. Let your great object be to poll every
vole—make this the great end of all that
you do.
Ascertain at once who need to be natur
alized, and give it attention now. Do not
' wait until SePtember. The prudent man
acts promptly if he wishes to obtain his
object. This work can be done now quiet
ly and effectively, and everything on our
side made to - move witty:rutin. i.,. contoat
Do this first, and then devote yourselves
to fighting your antagonist. Call to Tour
I aid the young men of the party. They
are the best arm with which to strike.
They will work with energy, am? will be
encouraged by your confidence.
Harmonize distractions, if any exist.
IConcentrate our people upon the vital is
sue of success—for in its wake will come
power, good government, and the just
rights of the people and of the States.
Very respectfully yours,
WILLIAM A. WALLACE,
We publish by way of contrast the fol
lowing, a secret circular, a copy of which
has been sent to every Radical office hold

which has so successfully administered
the affairs of the National Government
and a majority of the State Governments
during:the iristien years, enters upon the
present campaign in the State of Penn
sylvania with the confidence that its
glorious work in the past has been en
dorsed by every sincere lover of his State
and .country. Our party must, in the
present struggle for political supremacy
throughout the States, add another vic
tory to the many already won, and place
Pennsylvania as unqualifiedly Republican
in the coming "'residential contest of
1872. ..
Every effort will be made by the* Dem
ocratic party to gain-control of the House
or nepresentauves, which; under the ap
portionment Bill passed by the Legisla
ture of '7l, gives the Republican party a
majority of six members— "This majority
must be maintained. A Democratic as
cendency in both Houses of the Legisla
ture ma cause defeat in the campaign of

The other Mr. Russell Errett, having
nothing to present buts chapter of fraud,
corruption and tyranny on the part of
Radicalism, is forced to the same diaboli
cal tactics that has maintained its power
for a long time past, which is nothing less
than the most rotten corruption brought
about by the base use of money. No
wonder that so many of the Radical of
' &lids become "defaulters" add steal the
people's money, when they are called up
on by the rubs of their "order" to hand
over a large portion of their legitimate
salaries to Jx.p/enish the corruption fund
by which to maintain power. it is the
policy of the organization, and we should
think, from the universal:action which,

without eriminating himself, and thus
otur country to-day is cursed with a thor
oughly-organized band of official bandit
ti. We repeat the question of last week,
to those who aided, undoubtedly honest
ly, in placing our government at the mer
ely of these plunderers, Are you satisfied ?
Von who are not in office, are not called
upon by "private circular" to contribute
to this corruption fund, but tho tax gath
erer politely invites you to "stand and de
liver" and through him you furnish every
dollar as a large portion of these taxes go
to pay this horde of useless officials and
I through them into the corruption fund.
John Cotade, chairman of the Radical
State committee iii 1869, boasted that he
I paid twenty-seven thousand dollars to
carry the county of Luzern° for Gov.
Geary. Do you want to be told where
this money came from ? Did John W.
Geary pay this out of his own pocket
when the•aggregate salary for his whole
term of office will amonnt to but *15,-
000? Can the voters of Susquehanna
county, who are groaning under the
burdens of taxation and hard times, be
longer deceived as to their source, when
office holders, acknowledged poor at the
onset, can pay three times their salary to
purchase their election, and in a year's
time can count their income by hundreds
of thousands ? If such is the case we
tear for their sanity. To all such we
must say "they are joined to their idols
let them alone."
The word "Syndicate" has been natur
alized in this country by that learned fi
nancier, Jay Cooke, who employed an es
sayist during the war to prove a national
debt a national blessing. Many defini
tions have been given to the . wortl by the
enlightened press of this country. Like
Burke Bethel's definitions of a conspira
cy, "con"—" to breathe" and " spire"—
" together`" Syndicate means in the origi
nal
Sanscrit "to plunder together," as:
nearly as we can get at it after consulting
Max Muller, George 0. Evans, and other
distinguished philologists. We have a
number of Syndicates in this country.
Tho largest is that of Jay Cooke and
Company, who have succeeded in hoard
ing many millions by exercising their
sharp wits on a patient people.
Then there is the Syndicate of Mackey,
Quay and Company iu Pennsylvania.
'This financial firm has been very success
ful
in the employment of the unexpended
balance in the State treasury. By a skill
ful use of the funds they have been en
abled to control the legislature for anum
her of years, and to corrupt popular rep
resentation at the very fountain. While
engaged in this laudable and patriotic
public work they have not neglected their
own private and personal interests.
The last Syndicate which has made its
appearance is that of George 0. Evans
and Company. Though in operation for
but a few years, its success has been most
brilliant. Startin_ w outg without canitq.

The Democrats of Northampton coun
ty, at a lute meeting, passed the follow
ing :
Resolved, That while the indefatigable
attention of the President of the United
States to horses, dogs, brother-in-laws,
cousins, and to his domestic animals and
family in general, is worthy of the warm
est gratitude from these lucky recipients
of his bounty, yet his gross neglect of all
fublic business, merits at the same time,
the sharpest reprobation of the masses
who committed the control of the govern•
Molt into his hands, not for the benefit
of his family and live stock, but as a trust
for the whole people, and that an Execu
tive who only visits the seat of gov
ernment when called there by sickness in
his stable is not needed at the seat of gov
ernment at all. And so we mean to put

"Syndicate."
The Special Agent Larceny
The further this * Evans .matter 'is dis
cussed the more humiliating to official
honesty does it appear. Although there
is no question that over a (palter million
of the public funds have been' stolen, yet
no sort of attempt is made to bring either
of the guilty parties to justice.
lii fact it would seem that they art to
be protected,. if indeed not canonized as
pohtieal saints, who have passed through
blessed martyrdom. This sort of princi
ple seems to be taking the place of all
others with the leaders of the Radical
pasty. Let a man steal a million of dollars,
and the Democratic press refer to the fact,
and demand that he be made to disgorge,
and forthwith the Radical press write
him into a patriot of spotless purity,
breathing an atmosphere of balm and spi
ces, and sorely persecuted by is malignant
world.
Take " Colonel" William IL Gibson, of
Ohio, for instance. lie took three quar
ters of a million dollars out of the Treas
ury of that State. After a long delay he
was tried and a Radical Governor pardon
ed him out of the penitentiary. Because
he was persecuted and convicted for his
crimes, his Radical compatriots declared
he had been prosecuted and forthwith he
was brought out for Congressman, and to
day he is stumping Ohio, the trusted
leader of the Radical party, boasting that
the Radical leaders have stolen themselves
rich, consequently there is no danger of
them stealing any more.
The ad interim Commissioner of Inter
nal Revenue is down in Mr. Boutwell's
proclamation as a defaulter, while defaul
, ter, everywhere arc being promoted to
highers otlicet, and the wieckers of gov
ernment vessels are taken into the confi
dence of the administration.
With this the universal rule, starting
from the President, can we reasonably
hope to see Mr. George 0.. Evans made to
disgorge the hundreds of thousands he
has stolen, or permitted others to steal?
We will much more likely sec him paint
ed as a rare political saint, jubilant in the
midst of his martyrdom—than repentant
and pining as a convicted sinner.
Our neighbors of the Di pitch under
took yesterday to read us a homily and
claimed that nearly all the Radical papers
in the State, hail taken grounds against
the defalcation. Exactly the rev rse is
true. The Radical press of the State,
with a rare unanimity have either defend
ed the Evans robbery as an honest tran
saction, or by deliberate silence, tried to
hide the truth from their readers. It is
only now and thee that a Radical paper
has had the nerve to conic out against this
wholesale piracy.
The phase of the matter is one that
strikes thinking men in the Republican
party very forcible. The fact 'that their
party organs dare not expose the &Aiwa
corrupt oflic:alr, rs convincing proof, at
least, that their transactions will not bear
scrutiny. Why cannot we have a full in
vestigation of the matter, that the true
state of the ease may be arrived at and
pnblished ?
Who is afraid of the investigation ?
Is it Governor Geary?
• Is it Attorney General Brewster?
Is it Auditor General Harts:tat ?
Is it Treasurer ,llaeltey ?
Or is it the Jtadical State Committee
that spent a portion of the stolen funds
to carry the vtate elections ?
liave put these questions categori
cally, antl we would 1i1 i i42 01 14%,R.61%.
of those distinguished gentlemen are
smitting together in fear over the matter.
Let them stand up and then we can tell
who they are.
If, on the contrary. this whole theft is
to be covered up, let the people know that,
also. They will then hit upon a plan for
the investigation of the public affairs that
will pre eminently successful.—Pills
burg Post.
Hartranit and the Evans Swindle
The Cameron ring of the republican
party is especially anxious to clear the
Auditor General's skirts of any blame in
connection pith the scandalous Evans
affair. As We have no such desire, but
wish to take an impartial view of this ne
farious transaction, we ask a candid public
to oonsider•the following points, and to .
decide acemlingly :
Auditor Gtheral Hartmnft was in office
in the year 1.867, when a republican legis
lature passed-the unjustifiable law antnor
izing the appointment of an agent to col
lect from the general gover.iment the war
claims of Pennsylvania, with an allowance
of not more than ton per retanni as a
compensation to said agent. General
liartratift has pretended to exercise the
duties of Auditor General front that day
to this present period. Ile was then offic
ially boutd to know the existence of that
law, and from its phraseology and provis
ions-could not otherwise than consider it
as the erection of a big job for some one
of his owa party.
When Evans was appointed General
Hartranfl could not have been ignorant
of the fact, and knowing that fact, it was
his duty to examine the bond filed in the
Department of State, where he would
have seen the contract by which Evans
obligated himself to make a semi-anneal
report of his doings to the Auditor-Gener
al and tie State Treasurer. Now will
General Eartranft pretend to deny that
he was igieraut of these facts, down to
the day wren the Bulletin made the first'
disclosure? Until be categorically answers
this questbn, we will take it for granted
that he was well informed of all the details
cOnneited with George 0. Evans' appoint
ed to the agency above referred to. While
Auditor Grneml Hartranft cannot pretend
that he was ° ignorant of the very great
amount of the war claims of Pennsylvania
against the general gcivern men t, and know
ing this, teas it not his imperative duty to
keep a watchful eye upon the proceedings
of Evans? And when the latter failed to
make to him his semi-annual report, was
it not the ditty of General Hartranft to
inquire immediately into the cause of the
agent's neglect to comply with his obliga
tions, which was well calculated to excite
the suspicions of a vigilant officer? It
appears, however, that not only at the ex
piration of six months, when the first re
port was due but ever since then, includ
ing. a space of four years, the Auditor
General has been quite silent, indifferent,
and inactive in regard to the doings of the
State agententrusted with the collection
of several miUions of dollars. Gen.
Hartranft must have been in total ignor
ance of Evans' transactions, which is in
'credible, or else knowing, in whole or in
part, what those transactions were, how
can he now stand at the bar of public
opinion with uplifted band and plead not
.qnilly to the'indietment of gross and tin
lustiflable neglect of duty or corrupt col
usion. Let the Auditor General choose.
Either horn of the dilemma will impale
him and will show.hiururas absolutely
unfit to fill the important office he now
occupies.—llarristiurg Patriot.
The Hudson Trunk Mystery.
Lust Saturday about 2:39 p. In., a trunk
watt delivered at the Hudion Biter depot,
for transportation to Chicago. 'ln moving
the trunk about, the lid became lootterted
sad a rukusions stench was noticed toPro
ceed from it. Upon opening the trunk,
horrible sight presented itself. In the bot
tom of the trunk was the body of a .oung
woman apparently about 18 years o
and was unusually beautiful, with
features and a complectioti of extraordi
nary clearness. Her long auburn hair
hung in heavy tresses 'over her Shoulders.
Her hands, though small and slender,
showed that she had labored. No cuts or
marks of violence were found upon her
body,
The supposed author of this horrible
crime is in the hands of the police. His
name is Dr. Jacob Rosenzweig, a physi
cian doing business at No. GB7 Second
avenue. He is a German. Pole by birth,
and has been in this country several years.
The missing trackman turned up yester
day. His name is Pickett, and, it was
through him that the murder was hun
ted down.
The house of Rosenzweig was thorough
ly searched on Wednesday and some cast
MT pieces of linen found in the cellar,
which may serve as important links in
the evidence. The servant girl confessed
to the knowledge of a previous abortion
and murder committed by the doctor, and
Rosenzweig upon being questioned ad
mitted that the story was true. The
District Attorney thinks that the evidence
against the accused is overwhelming.
The latest account says the remains of
the dead girl have been identified as those
of Miss Alice A. Bowlsby, of Patterson,
N. J., and a third search of Dr. Rosenz
weig's house in Second avenue, revealed
the missing links in the chain of evidence
against tiara accused. A handkerchief
was found in the washtub with the name
of Miss Bowlsby upon it.
rw YORIC, August 30.—Another ex
amination was made to day at the house
of Dr. Rosenzweig, and resulted in the
discovery of important letters, blank
death and still birth certificates and a
long list of prescriptions. A man who
gave his name as Poster, and who said he
lived in Sixteenth street, Brooklyn, called
on Warden Brennan to-day .vith his ser
vant girl, who had lived with hint some
months ago. The woman wlin accompa
nied him also recognized the body. The
report that the murdered girl was a niece
of the Doctor's is not confirmed.
The case of IloseuzweiF had aroused a
feeling of indignation. The number of
abortionists in the City of both sexes is
known to be huge, one newspaper having
business advertisements of no less than
twelve of these practitioners. The city
press is demanding a general cleaning out
of these establishments by the police. ft
is believed that the indignation of the
public will result in securing some action
in this direction by the properly e.onsti
toted authorities.
Rosenzweig te.ld a Tinw' reporter in
an interview some time ago that he would
attend to an ordinary case for 5100, and
that he had facilities for furnishing mar
riages and burial eertlticates the same as
Madame Restile and the others had. This
much he said, iu the belief that reporter
came in good faith to admit his services:
but when he learned that he wits only a
newspaper man in quest of a full knowl
edge. he rawd and went on like a Maniac
so that the reporter nas in peril of his
One very important fact, possibly new
to the majority of the public, is brought
distinctly out by the interviewer, namely
that Rosenzweig and many others like him
have means for whitewashing soiled repu
tations comniitted to their care, as well as
sortof legal blind for committing the re
mains of their butchered victims to the
grave without the intervention of a cor
oner's jury or a proper certificate of death
from natural causes.
THE MYSTERY UNRAVELEP.
New Yoite, August 30.—The body of
the voting woman found in a trunk at the
Ifirdson River Railroad Depot on Satur
day has been identified as Alice BowlSby,
aged '22, of West street, Patterson, New
Jersey. Taw days ago Dr. Kinney, of
Patterson, called at Bellevue Hospital and
said that Miss Bowlesby was missing since
the Wednesday previous; that she had a
vaccination scar on the left arm below
the elbow, a mole on the right side of the
neck, and a scar tinder the right side of
the lower jaw, caused by an ulcerated
tdoth. The body was examined and the
marks indicated found. The dentist who
mired for Miss Bowlesby's teeth also iden
tified the body from the position of the
teeth and work :done to them.
Inspector Walling made an investiga
tion and learned that Miss Bowlesbv left
the house of her aunt in Newark on Wed
nesday last to visit this pity, and return
in the evening to Patterson, and has not
been seen alive by her friends since. She
was five months advanced in pregnancy,
which her family knew, but it is not
known that they were aware that she in
tended visiting an abortionist. Her phy
siCians and family desire to keep the pre
vious history of the case from the public,

The Richmond Enquirer says:
Some Now Englund lady, Mrs. Daniels,
we believe--another of the Daniels come '
to judgment—has invented a new fangled
apparatus for keeping the ladies stock
ings up, which la to supersede the time
honored and knightly garter. It may do
well enough for those ladies who lack stir
rotnndity of limb, but our Virginia
women are not deficient in any of the ad
juncts that go to make up the, perfect
mould of form, and can keep their garters
on and stockings up without resorting to
any new inventions. What' will the
Yankees ask us to surrender , next.? The
garter is an old and cherishedlustitution ;

the buckle has been . adopted by many
city belles, the free born and unotmven-

Politeness.
True politeness is so near allied to goodness,
that one is rarely found unaccompanied by the
other. It is too often regarded as an acquisition
merely external in its observance. But it is not
always secured in a school of art. Its steady
and genuine growth is truly indigenous to the
home circle, where especially it should be care

basis to the educational structure. A celebrated
author has justly remarked that whether we
wish to be useful or pleasing, the first requisite
is a religious and moral knowledgeof right and
wrong. We often see time who after a term of
unprodclent accotnplishment, 'an inltiatori of
