Rebel War Claims.
Wllliainsport O. 4 B.
If any doubt exists in the minds of
the intelligent voters as to the amount
of the rebel war claims that w ill be
presented and allowed in the event of
the success of the Democratic ticket in
the light of the fact that "history re
peats itself," it is well to refer to old
records of the Democratic regime and
deduce therefrom lessons of instruc
tion for the present and future.
The archives of the treasury depart
ment contain claims to the amount
of sixty millions of dollars paid to the
inhabitants of Georgia and p'lorida
for losses alleged to have been sus
tained during the war with the Seni
i noles aud Creek Indians (better known
as the Florida war) which occurred
duriug the years 1834 to 1848. The
field of military operations was prin
cipally in the Everglades of Florida
the hunting grounds of "Billy Bow
legs" and his savage warriors. At
that early period iu the history of
the "peninsula state" it cannot be sup
posed that many white settlers had
established their homes in such an al
most impenetrable morass, constructed
costly dwellings and surrounded
themselves with all the luxuries of
life, yet a perusal of these records dis
closes the astounding fact that nearly
half a century two that oortion of the
South now inhabited principally by
alligators and wild hogs, was as
thickly populated as a county in
Massachusetts covered with costly
buildings, abounding in choice cattle,
and rich iu general products of the
soil. All of which were lost or des
troyed by the cruel ravages of war,
A Democratic administration allowed
these claims on the affidavits uf the"
honeiti and honorable member of the
party. And the good people of the
whole couutry were taxed to pay
them. The facts are at hand and can
not be gainsayed to prove that more
money was paid on the fraudulent
claims of these ancestors of southern
rcbles than would be required to pur
chase at a fair value all the property,
rial and pcrseual, belonging to the resi
dents of the whole state of Florida.
Ways that were darker and tricks
that were meaner than were ever used
by the heathen Chinee were employed
by these people to defraud the govern
ment. There is no doubt that after
having become enriched by such a
steal, these claimants are willing to
be forgiven, want to shake hands
across the boody chasm, with those
who accused them of dishonesty and
perjury, and are extremely anxious
to have peace- Is it not extremely
suggestive of what we may expect of
their descendants should an oppor
tunity be given by the election of Gen.
Haiicock'i
Maine Is Ours.
Phlla. TrcKS.)
And so Maine is Republican after
all. It is Shiloh over again; The
Confederates then fancied .they had
won a great victory. The first day
advanced their banner; but t he second
day turned the tide and closed in
clear Union triumph. So in Maine
the premature boasts nf an assumed
Confederate victory 'dl away before
the evidence of a substantial Republi
can succes. rite Democratic h pipes
wittier as the R-efiublicwn skies
brighten.
The retHWsnre now all itt oxeept
from a few remote towns. In all the
later Teports from the couutry tils'
tricte the Republican gains s-rc steady
and irresistible. The districts still to
be heard from doubtless share this uni
form drift; butvouwtlng them as they
stood last year the Republicans Will
oarcy the Governor beyond awuestion
If the candidate has a clear majority,
that will settle the matter. If he has
only a plurality, he will still beeleeted
either by the operation of the new
Constitutional Amendment or by the
choice of the Legislature. The first
returns from the oittes nd populous
centres were favorable to the Demo
crats; but as soon as the reports from
the country towns began to pour
in the current changed. The explana
tion Is simple and wbvtous. Mr.
BaMiiim sent a big barrel to Maine on
the eve of the election. It was tapped
in the cities and along the mala lines,
but it did not reach into the country.
Mr. Itanium played h is game shrewd In
tuit the spirit of the yeomanry was to
much for him.
The Democrats, whose high hopes
are turned to ashes on their lips, will be
correspondingly depressed by this un
expected and injurious result. The
reaction will more loan counterbal
ance all the advantage they derived
from the first eclat. As for the Re
publicans, three days ago they met
apparent defeat with undaunted
courage and resolution, d, now with
substantial triumph in their grasp,
they will be Inspired with new con
fidence and determination. Through
the influence of the supposed reverse
in Maine they have been aroused to
the strongest efforts and have enlisted
the active aid of all the business
classes, who were reposing in fancied
security ; nnd now, with the tidings
of success, they are animated with
fresh enthusiasm and ardor They
gain both effects the incentive of dan
ger and the glow and fervor of au ad
vancing and triumphant cause. And
in tills associated strength of united
impulses they will march on to vic
tory.
There is Itttle chance that the Re
publicans will relax any efforts to
which the presence of supposed peril
has incited thein. Gratifying and en
couraging as is the final issue in
Maine, it Is still too close to remit any
energy. Tire Wonder is not that the
Republicans have succeeded, but that
the Fusion ists have been able to make
such a fight. It is amazing that sucli
an unprincipled coalition could hold
so well together. It is amazing that
the infamous conspiracy and usurpa
tion of last year to steal the State iu
defiance of the public will should not
have shocked the moral sense of the
whole jieople, and that there should
not be thousands of the party iu whose
name it was perpetrated to rise up nnd
repudfute it. It is umaKiug that
where the principle and honor were so
plainly on one side the people should
be so evenly divided. Such an ex
traordinary spectacle must teach the
importance of unremitting vigilance
and exertion throughout the whole
North.
Weaver to Plaisted.
Washington, September 18. Gen.
James B. Weaver, Greenback nom
inee for President, semis the following
telegram to General Piaisted at Ban
gor Maine: I congratulate you on the.
grand fight you have made in Maine
for the National Greenback Lalior
party. It will inspire our friends
with confidence und strengthen them
for the great battles which rt mains to
be fought. I hope you are elected.
It is most amusing to see the Demo
cratic leaders masquerading behind the
Greenback party und culling our vic
tory a Democratic boom. They fail to
tell the public that you were nonii
ated usa fctruightGreenbuckcr aud that
the Democrats could not have carried
the State by 40,000. They failed also
to state that they requested you . to
made pledges to thorn when they gave
their indorsement, and that you per
emptorily declined ; that their State
Central Committee subsequently de
manded pledges of you and upon your
second refusal the said Committee re
quested you to wi:hdraw as a candi
date and that you declined to do; that
the Democrats in Maine showed their
good sense by voting the Greenback
ticket. Let us all rejoice.
lie It W .- ...
In one tiling Weaver Is to be com
mended. He sticks to his ai'ty aud j
principles just us though he believed j
in them. He is at least consistent and i
his party in Maine gains by that cou
slstancy. !
Here it is different. In this county
the Greenback "bosses" make inde
cent haste to surrender to the Democ
racy. They will go Short for congress
who Is as much of a Democrat as he
ever was, und is straddling round to
fool the Green buckers. They get only
Mr. Kinnear for Assembly who will
vote for code" pot Wallace and' might
as well be a Democrat, if elected and
swallow the whole Democratic ticket
besides. Would Weaver be proud of
that kind of Green buck ism? It can
gain neither votes nor public respect. '
It is proper to repeat that the "bosses"
made this surrender. We trust the
party generally will be more consis
tent. The "Losses'' probably never
were Greenbackers at heart. They
are Democrats still, and only want to
fool their followers. It remains to be
seen whether they do it. Warreu

'CLAIMS frfettD TO DATE OVER. $1,390,.
6(000 A fcKTTER FROM SENATOR
The estimate made a year go of the
nggregate amount iftked for by the
solid South for Internal improvements
private relief bills, and war 'claims
based on the refunding of the cotton
taxes etc., was $1,387,524,735. Another
session of Congress' has added $103,.
445,578 to this amount so that the
grand aggregate is now $1,890,970,818,
Referring to this matter the New York
Tribune says
Appalling as these figures are, they
represent only a small fraction of the
sum tdlal "of Confederate rapacity.
Let tiie principle vne bo recognized
that disloyalty 9ov?s net affect claim
ant's standing, and "the demands of
the solid South will be multiplied.
Senator Ednitmds is not an alarmist,
and he says that the Democrats In
Congress will move "the distinction
in respect of claims of loyal and dis
loyal persons" by a solid or nearly
soHd Vote "the moment they get In
possession of all the departnrsftts of
the Govern ment." He adds most em
phatically that the fourth section of
the fourteenth amendment does not
tmpwsto A.y tearrter to the payment of
claims based upon the destruction of
property by the United States armies,
nor even "to pensioning every Rebel
soldier or soldier's widow and children
or indeed every other rebel." The
question is, "Can the North afford
it."
Upon this subject the Mason (Mich.)
Xewti has the following.
In the Grand Rapid Weekly Dem
ocrat of August 1 5th, appeared a re
view of the recent speech of Senator
Edmunds, of Vermont, in which the
Senator speaks strongly of the danger
of the allowance of rebel claims,
amounting to millions of dollars, in
case of Hancock's election. The Dem
ocrat article cited the fourth section
of the fourteenth amendment to the
constitution as interposing an in
superable barrier to the payment of
rebel claims, mid claimed that Senator
Edmunds delivered the speech in
question well knowing that fuct.
We cut out the article, and enclosed
it with u short letter to Mr. Edmunds,
and promptly received the following
reply;
Uurlinuton. Vt.. Autrtist 30. 1880.
Dear Sin Yours of the 18th came
just as I was going out of town, I
fear the editor or the Grand Itaptds
.Democrat is not very hungry to find
nut exactly what tne 4tu section or the
fourteenth amendment covers in point
of law.
The rebel claims referred to are not
claims of rebels for aiding the rebel
lion, but for property amounting alto
gether to hundreds and probably
thousands of millions, taken or des
troyed by armies of the United States,
and therefore the moment the test of
loyalty of any claimant is repealed
the claim of the rebel stands exactly
like the claim of nv other citizen
against the government on account of
its action, and not on account of the ac
tion of the rebel authorities.
Tlie Democrats in Congress have
tried time after time to repeal the dis
tinction in respect of claims of loyal
and disloyal persons, and they lmvo
bills now pending In the Senate to ef
fect that object, and they will effect it
by a solid or nearly solid Democratic
vote the moment they get possession
all the departments of the govern
ment. As to the rebel pensions, the editor
of the Democrat, if he will reflect a
little, will, I am sure. ngree that a
pension does not in any wise fall with
in the description of "any debt or
obligation," and if so, it is not within
the prohibition of the fourteenth
amendments. A pension Is and always
has been granted upon the ground or
bounty of gratitude, not legal obliga
tion. It hTperfectly clear, therefore,
tiiat the Constitution does not stand
in t lie way of Congress pensioning
every rebel soldier, or soldier's widow
and children, or, indeed, every other
rebel, if it pleases.
I will not reciprocate the epithets of
this worthy editor.
Very truly yours,
George F. Edmunds.
Hon. George A. Jenks, of Brook

Harmony In Crawford County.
Mcadvillo, Sept. 17. The difficulty
that lias for the past two months ex
isted in the Republican party of this
county, and which It has been so
sorely feared would end disastrously
to their interests, has at last been sat
isfactorily arranged." The two candi
dates for Congress in the Twenty
sixth District, which has been looked
upon as a mutter that it seemed ut
most impossible to harmonize, was
amicably settled by the Conferees at
Franklin yesterday. They unani
mously nominated S. II. Miller of
Mercer, after which the Hon. J. D.
McJunkin of Butler pledged himself
to take the stump for Miller. The
finishing touches, however, were at
tained to-duy at a meeting of the
County Committee to nominate a
Chairman tiiut would bring together
the division that has for a time ex
isted between the two factions, and it
resulted in the unanimous election of
William H. Andrews, who, it can be
safely said, will push the campaign
from now on as perhaps no otjier man
In the county would do. The follow
ing resolution wasudnptcd:
Resolved, That we indorse the nom
ination of S. H. Miller Tor Congress for
this district, and pledge to him a
united and hearty support. .
After which the Committee ad
journed with best of feeling prevail
ing. The Young Men's Republican
Club met at the court house to-night
and were addressed by the young
speakers from their ranks.
Norristown Herald: "Let's see;
In 1877 Ben Butler was a Republican;
in 1878 a Labor Reformer; last year a
Qreenbacker, and this year he is u
Democrat. It makes us sad to thli.k
that next year it is his turn to be a
Republican again.
General Garfield made a few re
marks at the great Canton soldiers'
reunion last week, In the course of
which he intimated that these United
States formed a Natton, In the follow
ing einphatlo manner: , Fellow citf
zens, here and there I hear of a man
w ho speaks of these reunions and the
spiri t that 'pervades them as section
alism. Irt"'the ham of every soldier
wh' fow&nVl deny It. There is
nothing' mWe iiational in all this re
public than the spirit which saved the
Union. These soldiers believed In thai
doctrine of geometry that the whole is
greater than any of Its parte, and is
equal to all of the parts put together,
and that the Union is greater than
any State, greater than any part of the
Union, however large. We fought
for the whole Union, and the spirit
that animated us was the spirit of na
tionality against the spirit of section
alism. To defend the truths for which
we fought is wholly national, and is
sectional in nothing. It was section
alism against which we fought. And
it was a spirit of nationality which
we defended and which we will de
fend while we live. Now, therefore,
in the presence f the veterans, in
the presence of these' leaders, in the
presence of these thousands of citizens.
and under these flags, we assert the
nationality of our cause, embracing
within its grasp all the interests of the
whole country.
The Springneld Republican has
been reading its independent ex
changes pretty closely, and as a result
says': "There is a general disposition,
highly ominous to the Democrats, on
the part of the in dependent press of
the country to predict Garfield's elec
tion. Barring the New York Sun and
the Philadelphia Times, there Is
scarcely a prominent newspaper the
country over which makes even a pre
tense of independence that does not
talk of the Democratic cause as a
losing one." ''

tHI SYRACUSE CHILLED PLOW CO.
of Syracuse, N. V
Are now putting on the market a Plow that
la aa touch superior to any Plow heretofore
made aa the Plows ol the past few years have
teen superior to those made halt a century
, It combines all the excellencies or any Plovr
In use.
It obviates all the objections made to any
other Plow.
In addition It embraces several hew features
ot the greatest value, for which we have ob
tained exclusive Patents.
Its Beara,ciev1s, Jointer Standard and Wheel
Standard will be STEEL, and its mold board
will be a composition ot Steel and Iron chilled
under a process for which we have also
obtained an exclusive Patent, it will be
called
me SYRACUSE
CHILLED STEEL PLOW
Its weight will be eighteen pounds less than
cur present styles.
A Orst-class Steel Plow, made in the or.
(Unary way, full rigged, retails for twenty-two
dollars. Inferior Steel Plows retail from six
teen to nineteen dollars.
The price of our new Plow will be but
Seventeen Dalian, and It will be the
cheapest Agricultural Implement ever sold.
Its mold board will outwear three of the
very best kinds of the ordinary steel mold
boarda
It will scour In soils where all steel plows
and all other plows have hitherto proved a
failure.
With this Plow' will be Introduced a corru
gated Plow Point and Jointer Point, on which
we have also obtained a Patent, and which Is
also a great Improvement, both as regards
strength and wear.
The Jointer can be shifted so as to taka
more or less land, and also more or less pitch,
and It can always be kept on a line with the
Plow.
The wheel will run "under the beam or one
Bide of It as desired, and always kept In line.
The beam Is adjustable for Spring or Fall
Plowing, and also for two or three horses.
The handles can be adjusted to accommo
date a man or boy, on the same Plow,
It Is a perfect Plow.
Wooden beams are going out ot use because
they shrink, swell aud warp, and never run
two seasons alllce.
Iron beams are too heavy.
Malleable beams become demoralized and
bend, which Is much worse than to break.
A Steel beam Is the necessity of the day. It
Is three times as strong and very much lighter
than any other style.
When kk say a Mold board is chilled, the
tanners know It Is so.
We do hot palm off on them a composition
bl various metals and call It chilled metoL
We want agents for this new Plow in every
town in this State.
We can give but a very small discount td
them, but we will pay the Railroad Freight.
We propose to place this Plow In the hands
bf Farmers as near the cost ot manufacture
as possible.
It will be the tett Agricultural Implement
ever sold.
It shall also be the ckmpeth.
Persons therefore who are hot willing to act
as agents on the principle that " a nimble six
pence is better than a slow shilling," need not
apply for an agency.
No Plows on commission. All sates absolute.
tVThls is the only Steel Chilled Plow Ut
the World.
Steel costs several times more than iron.
But this Plow, full rigged, by giving small
discounts, can be sold tor Seventeen Dollars.
Compare this price with that of any Iron Plow
ever made.
It is cheaper than any other Flow new
made would be at five dollars and a halt
Where there are no agents we will, on re
belptof Seventeen Dollars, send a Plow to any
Railroad station In the State and pay the
freight. Address,
