VINDICATED.
Following close on the nomination of
Mr. J. S. RIITAN. • by= the Republican
Conferees of • the .Washington• Beaver
District, rumors were set afloat ,to
the "elhtthat corrupt twee' of Et"'
eye had secured that gentleman the
• place. These rumors finally moulded
into an open, direct and. specific charge
that a Washington member of the Con
ference had sold out his vote to lir. Ru-
Tax.'s friends fora stated sum of money.
So long as common rumor only , charged
so serious a thing to the account of &can
didate for the people's honor and. trust,
ive were content to pay no attention to
, .
the matter; but we Could not, In justice
to ourselves, our jountat and its readers,
remain silent when a specific charge was
, sruule, . and knowing but ' one and
the only . proper course to pur
sue, gave plaeo In these columns
to the rumor in the - definite shape it bad
assumed, and deMended, for the common
good and general honesty of politici, that
a rigid and thoroughly searching investi
gaticat should be made of the trutli or
falsity of the 'very 11/kriotls accusation.
Thig course we would most tuannedly
again pursue under similar circurnstniaes,
believing that the interests of a great po•
litical party should not be jeopardized
either by bad men who may tiny their
nominations in Its ranks, or , bj , Perittlt
tlng false and malicious charges of cor
ruption aimed directly to the mark, to
gain the strength of, truth by passing un
heeded and unmet ?Wks; like indi
viduals, can afford to be honestand just;
and should at all times be jealous of a
fair reputation, and more especially at 'a
time when the air is loaded with vague,
uncertain and unwarranted accusations of
Votruptiog ig 6114 out 'of political and
public life. We, in common with all
right thinking persons of wludever shade
of politics, frown upon any attempt to
attach odium to individuals and degrade
them in public estimation by setting afloat
grave but general' charges of -tlishonesti;
nevertheless; when any one of these - ru
mors fasten n' shook of steel to an in
. .
dividual, or set of individuals, let it;be
met fairly and • squinty no matter who
may be sacrificed .or, drawn down into
shame if the deriopinents be damaging.
Hence, wo have no apology to offer tor
any publications , which have appeared in
epnection with the alleged lltrrAn cor
ruption. As painful as the , mere scared.

• The vindication is `complete; The gen
tlemen attaching their names to the re
port embrace all charged with the duty
of investigation, and they were selected
because of their acknowledged honor,
honesty and veracity, representing fay
and fairly the constituency Mr. litrrax
will now undoubtedly himself represent
in the next Senate. Of previous un
blemished reputation and high moral
standing. XL liwran emerges from un
der the cloud of calumny with name and
fame made biigitter in the contact. We
now unhesitatingly , commend him
to the - undivided and hearty support
of the voters of. his district, believing
that he is worthy the largest measure of
confidence they, can repose in him. Had
the investigation resulted otherwise, we
should have been the first to have de
manded his removal from the ticket, but
we are glad thatthat unpleasant duty has
not to- , petforined and- hope ; that the
ranks may be cemented together again in
Washington "and Beaver - counties, and
that, with , but one,. desire, the success of
the Republican party and afresh triumph
of its principles, they will march in solid

brilliant State victory awaiting us in Oc•

The city of Erie Is not merely the only
lake port which Pennsylvania has, but it
is the best harbor to be found on any of
the great.lakes. Nature has there made
a bay, large and safe enough to protect a
mighty fleet during the most terrible tem.
pests. Buffalo and . Cleveland, with no
natural harbors, have grown to be large
cities, while Erie for a while languished a
i_dead village on the shore. The reasons
for this were these. Cleveland was bold
enough to embark her capital and her

giving it connections in every direction.

PARTISAN BASENESS.
Tne Philadelphia Age, unfairly emus
ink Judge W. WILLIAM upon a charge
op which) the people of Pennsylvania
know that he is innocent, has, been ad-,
monished of its mistake. It persists _in
the baseless charge, and takes thus - the
responsibility for an intentional slander.
The Age disputes facts which are as po
tent, to the people of the Commonwealth,
as the sun-light, and twists through every
tortuous expedient known to convicted
but obstinate falsifiers to escape from the
pressure of an honest condemnation. It
even claims a shameless,distinction as the
first inventor of the falsehood which the
Pittsburgh Post has echoed. 7 These tin
scruplons journalists know that ilknwr
W. Wnaxams never did, by , word or •
deed, professionally or otherwise, ought
which could justify their accusations.
Yet had they the hardihood to assert
such a direct complicity against him.
They charge him in express words
as having been "the - leader of the
Allegheny County- repudiators, the open
advocate of that Radical schism" Convict.
ed of false witness against a citizen who
was weer a leader of repudiators nor en
open advocate of repudiation, nor even a
secret sympathizer with that "scheme,"
these prints are not capable of 'Fa much
decency as to withdraw the charge.
They go still lower into the very mire of
partisanship. They write themselves
foolish as well as knavish. What do they
say now? That the Judge was a Repub
heart; that he had a large Republican
majority in this-County; that the people
of the County disputed and resisted
the obligation of their bonds; there
fore, the Judge must' have- concurred
therein! - And that is all they have
to say! What a contemptible get
off I That is the proof to convict him of
being a "leader of repudiators," and "an
open advocate of repudiation!" A lame
evasion to sustain a bold indictment ! The
cowardly dodge of branded slanderers to
sneak out of reach of the public con
tempt ! Partisan journalism could not
well be more scampish !
HENRY W. WILLUMB was sot &leader
of repudiators; he was not an open'iidvo
cate of repudiation; he was not openly or
secretly in any way; a friend to repudia
tion of any sort. IS that specific ?
The Philadelphia ' Ago and the Pitts
burgh Post, confounding him with anoth
er Willirms, first uttered a reckless elan
der,_ and, convicted of that, then take
refuge in a baker's dozen of fresh falsifi
cations. It is only the blunder that hu
miliates them; questions of veracity give
them no concern whatever. -

Evangelical type. After alluding to tie

light than all o r men, all other minds.
He has given to ntellect its birthright of
immortality, and hence made it zealous in
the training and equiping 'of its , powers.
His doctrines are the germ-prinCiples of
the world's civilization. His lessons of
sympathy have dotted the earth with in
stitutions of charity and love. His teach
ings give the basis to law and govern

history and history would be a chaos of

from life and life becomes aimless like
that of the brutes which perish.

CITY. AND SUBURBAN.
The Late 'Storm.
The following, account of the storm
which visited thlis locality Monday night
last, we clip from the Steubenville Herald
of Tuesday:
The storm which visited this city last
night was one of unprececiented. fury,
although no serious damage was sus.
tained. Hail fell with the torrents of
rain, and the wind blew:mob ahurricane
that fears were entertained that much
damage would be done the fruit. The
storm came from the southwest, and
struck the river above the city; where it
s-nt its fury along the stream. About
nine o'clock, with the swiftness of a tor
nado, it swept -over Wellsville, blowing
down trees and doing considerable dam
age to the fruit. Noyes's circus, exhibit
ing at the time, suffered considerable
damage. The wind tore the canvass to
shreds, blew out the lights and -produc
ed a scene of the utmost consternation.
Women and children screamed, homes
snorted and the audience -rushed panic
stricken from the enclosure. Willie
Cook, the favorite bareback rider '
was
in the ring at the time, and had his arm
broken by a fall from a frightened ani
mal. A lady, in the audience on one of
the upper sesta, was • thrown to the
ground, breaking her shoulder blade. A
number of other person! were more or
less injured. The circus company went
back to Pittsburgh this morning for re
pairs. The old canvass was so badly torn
as to beutterly worthless.
'Noyes' circus • eppears to be
unfartuste in this respect, as it
suffered. serious damage from the
storm of Wednesday night at East Lib
erty. The canvass was torn down and
one or two personsseverely injured.

The Morgantown Constitution says of the

elicited. There- was a strong feeling of
prejudice against the poor wretch, and
an impartial jury was found with
some di iculty.' We learn from other
sources that the court sentenced the
prisoner to the State prison,tut that the
GoVerbor would- net "agree to the sen
