A COXTRAST.
There are times and seasons when there
ii no way to set tle the real status of a mooted
point so well as by contrast. This principle
holds good in ordinary life ; and the differ-
once between every day matters, and the in
tricacies of a political squabble are not so
great, but that the same rule may be applied
to both. There is just now a sore source of
trouble raging in this 12th District, as to first
where the Congressman belongs, and, second
who shall be the man, or rather as to which
couuty, or selection of counties, shall have
the power of selecting the man.
Two weeks ago we gave publicity to a slight
episode in the political Congressional history
of the district, wherein it was established,
beyond a doubt, that Democratic law, re
cognized as binding for some thirty years
decreed that each county should, in turn,
be entitled to the candidate. A precedent,
safe aud sure, established by "the Democracy
of gallcnt little Monroe," some sixteen years
ago, decreed, that in the rest of the counties
was voted the right to say who the candi
tlte should be, and that in pursuance of that
richt, Monroe selected Win. II. Dimmick
as the candidate of Wayne county, in spite
of the clearly, and emphatically, expressed
wif-h the Wayne Democracy, that Howken
li. Beardsley should be the man So far, so
(hxI. Wa3'ne, feeling herself bound so to
1, quietly ac-quiesced in the decision, aud by
her determined show to stand by the action
of the Conference, headed off a bolt and a
combination, which would at once have sent
Win. 1 T. Dimniick, to the shades of quiet
retirement, and Dr. Shoemaker, of Carbon,
t o. Congress. Wayne felt sore over the treat
ment the had received, but it was a Demo
cratic Conference which had inflicted the
wound, and she rested content. She did
more than that. Believing in the utility and
justice of the two term principles, she held
that the nomination belonged to the man,
the representative, provided his record was
clear, and when 31 r. Dimmick' 8 first term ex
pired, she, without even the shadow of a
home contest, presented hiai to the next
Conference as her unanimous choice for
nomination. Mr. Dimmick had done noth
ing to merit this reward, but his home con
stituents felt that to be consistent his nomina
tion for the second term must be con
ceded. Thus was another precedent estab
lished, not by gallent little Monroe, to enable
her to scalp a supposed enemy, but by poor
Wayne, whose rights had beeu outraged,
that revenge, mused by outsiders, against
uc of her citizens and her choice might be
appeased.
We will pass over, with mere notice, the
attempt of some of the Monroe Democrats to
gcremandcr Pike county out of her rights to
the succession, and which culminated in an
alliance which secured to Philip Johnson, of
Mother Northampton, a third term. The
attempt only failed of complete success two
years later, because the thing was too bald
f aced to be entertained by the rest of the
counties, who had justice enough left to pre
vent it. Geo. II. Rowland our old friend
George was killed by the first attempt,
most effectually, but after Johnson's greed
was satiated, Daniel M. Vanuuken, as the man
of Pike, was permitted to bury himself
obliviously in his scat in Congress, at a charge
of some 3,000 aud et cetera per annum,.for
which he did not even pretend to render au
equivalent to his constituent, save in the
way of voting away the public domain to
every stockjobbing corporation that asked for
it Daniel was awarded a second term, as
was his and Pike couuty's due, but not un
til after the insertion of a crow bar, by some
of the Democracy of gallcnt little Monroe,
and considerable tugging had satisfied them
that the two-term fabric would not be thrown
down. It was not for want of will, but be
cause of lack of justice on her side that, in
pite of specious argumeuts, aud most alarm
ing arrays of figures, gallent little Monroe
was prevented from placing the right to cheat
a connty out of her turn to the nomination
also in the line of safe precedent, a long side
of her conduct towards Wayne.
Two years ago it became, ligitmatcly
Monroe's turn to the nomination. The pre
liminary was waxed warm hereabouts, in
deed. Coolbaugh in the East, Burnet in the
Centre and Gilbert in the West, each fought
furiously for supremacy over the other. For
mouths before, and at the Delegate cleec
tions it was an eye for an eye and a tooth for
a tooth, but the County Convention found
neither of the candidates with a majority
over both his competitors. The whole after
noon of the Convention, was spent in ballot-
wgs, adjouruings, button-holiugs, and the
whetting of whistles, but without definite re
suit. The contest at the delegate election
had been so bitten, that neither candidate
could be induced to give wray. Things looked
dubious, and it was feared that Monroe
would miss representation in the Conference
and lose the nominee. At length, however,
the spirit of compromise was invoked, and
the "muss" settled by dividing the delega
tion, and Richard S. Staples was appointed
to represent Gen. Burnett, John B. Storm
to represent Peter Gilbert and Audrew J,
Shoemaker to represent John Coolbaugh, at
Easton,
On the a.c.-emblinsr of the conference, the
other counties, parties to it, found a most
stunuing elephant on their hands. They
cheerfully conceded the candidate to Monroe,
but asked Monroe that she settle upon her
own choice. Instead of this Mouroc pressed
her home triangular fight, and demanded that
Conference step in and settle matters for
her. This was asking more than the con
tract demanded, and the pro.-iects for Mon
roe's success became gloomy indeed. Other
patriots had gathered at Easton, who were
willing to submit to sacrifice in their own
persons, but were not willing to say which
of the three men should be the choice of
Monroe. After some one hundred and forty
odd ballots, which extended unto the next
day at noon, Monroe gallantly carried off the
palm, in the nomination of the Hon. John
B. Storm, whose nomination was at once
made unanimous.
It was apparent at the first ballot that
ueither Coolbaugh, Gilbert nor Burnet,
could, in any event, be settled upon, and be
fore the eud it was only a question, as to
which of the counties should have the mau
in case Monroe was deprived of it Dim
mick of Wayne, a nephew of his Uncle, at
one time came within one of carrying off the
prize, and a recurrence of the opportunity
would have been seized upon to the total
discomfiture of gallant little Monroe. A like
opportunity was afforded Monroe in the per
son of J. B. Storm, and it was thought by a
large majority of the Conferees, that it was
no disappointment to him that he recognized
the hint, and, by voting for himself, settled
the matter just as it should be settled, by
securmir it to .Monroe uer dear rienr. pihj
had failed to make her selection, and in the
result Conference had done the best she
could for her. Of course there was bolting
and a contest but Mr. Storm was elected
nevertheless.
And right here looms up the contrast be
twecn Wayne county deprived of her rights,
in the defeat of Mr. Beardslee, by the act of
Monroe county, aud Monroe couuty frittering
away her choice by her own act, and her own
home feuds. Wayne county, at once sub
mitted to the situation, put her shoulder to
the wheel, to elect her forced candidate and
in two years afterwards, presented him for
renomination. Monroe count, or rather
the disappointed among her Democrats, re
fused to accept the situation, at once organ
ized an opposition and have steadily fought
to this day for prevention of even the possi
bility of a renomination. Wayne did her
work of support notwithstanding, the only
thing heard of her forced choice was, that
his name occasionally appeared in the list of
yeas and nays, and that not always to his
credit as voting inteligently, or in accordance
with the will of his constituents, Monroe
county has done her work of opposition, not
withstanding the record of her young and
talented representative has been brilliant,
and his votes and speeches, save wherein
the cause of Education was attempted to be
advanced alwaj's in accord with the princi
ples of the party to which he belongs. It
has rather the appearance of an onslaught of
disappointed ambition, than a mcritorius ef
fort to punish for neglect, short coming, or
political malfeasauce, for there were none of
these and, it almost leads us to exclaim with
our old time black Republican, but now
liberal Democratic, friend Greeley, "thank
God we are not a Democrat," at least of the
Monroe prcsuasion. Not desiring sJr'.fe, Mr.
Storm has withdrawn from the field. It
now remains to be seen whether the other
counties will submit to that withdrawal so
enforced , and, if so, whether the District
will gain, and how much, by the change of
representative. We believe the strife here
is ended by placing Gen. Burnet in the field,
solus.
5? We observe that our friends of the
Wayne county Herald, while, in the main,
admitting the correctness of our HLtory of
congressional nominations in this district,
take exceptions to one or two' points there
in. The Herald says that the late IIou.
James K. Dickson, Orin Lester and Thomas
E. Grier, were the Conferees of Wayne,
instead of John Iloolahan, Thomas E. Grier
and A. B. GammcL Esqrs., at the Conference
at which, Wayne's rights, in the irsou of
II. B. Beardslee, were so ruthlessly slaugh
tered; by the action of Monroe county. A
friend at our elbow, who knows all the gentle
men named, and who was present during
the whole of the proceedings, says that our
assertion in this particular was correct
Judge Dickson, and he thinks Mr. Lester,
certainly the former, with Jackson Wood
ward, Esq., were present from Wayne coun
ty, Messrs Iloolahan, Girer and Gammel
were the Conferees, and voted for Mr.
Beardslee from first to last. Our friend, al
luded to above, knowing the thystcring that
had been agreed upon hereabouts, suggested
to Mr. B., the substitution of Messrs Dick
son and Woodward, for two of the other, as
they were men of experience, and able to
Bustain themselves. This, however, was not
deemed advisable, and Mr. Dickson and Mr.
Woodward, were eornielled to set by and
smoothe the indignation they felt and which
they did not hesitate to express after the
cheat was consutmnuated. As to what was
done in Wayne prior to the meeting of the
Convention of that county we know nothing
personally ; but this we do know that our re
port of what 3Ir. Crane and Dimmick said
on the occasion, was in substance, if not in
precise language, what they really did say.
fi?TllE Democracy of Luzerne would
like to have all the Candidates this fall, and,
through the Wilkcs-Barre Daily suggests
that Pike county's claims to the Senatorship
be set aside for this time. Cool, very, for
these hot days.
jjsST" John Coolbaugh, we see by the
Monroe Democrat has seized himself by the
boot straps, and lifted himself clean outsid
of the Congressional Campaign. The Demo
cracy of Middle Smithfield will mourn over
this act, but we do not know that the world
will be the loser. Good by 'John.
ST Our neighbor of the Monroe Democrat
grew quite facetious in his paper, of yesterday,
over an article copied from the Easton Argus,
in which it is stuted that the printer of the Re
publican paper here is one of the only three
outspoken Grant men existing in this borough.
There is a world of fun in our neighbor s inim
itable play upon the names of Wolf, Sehoeh
and Miriam, which is truly refreshing, and will
raise many a hearty laugh at the expense of the
trio named, even though the gist of the story is
a mere myth, conjured in the brain of the
wise one who wields the pen which our friend
Amandiw, apocryphally holds bo nervously.
Tastes diner somewhat in such matters, but,
really, if Aniandus Orevous's experiences, in
the rod line, were ours, we should say as little
as possible about rods. Did we feel inclined
to catechise him, we might learn something of
the modus operandi, of the peculiar sensation
arising therefrom, and of the precise eflect in
iirodiicins results intended. Our neighltor
knows all about it, "you bet.1' There are many
cases in point, but we will content ourself with
a reference to only three of them.
1st lie experienced the eflect of a rod, and
a heavy one, too, some four years ago, when
the threat of withdrawal from his bond, and
immediate process for the collection thereof,
was threatened, if he did not withdraw the
names of Samuel S. Dreher and Stephen
Holmes from the list of speakers advertised to
expatiate at Democratic meetings. Abject
rompliar.ee with the demand, would have
been the result, had not a friend whom he has
since betrayed, come to the rescue.
2d. Again, he experienced the effect of a
rod which must have threatened terrible con
sequences indeed, to have induced him to be'
tray his trust as an editor, and his honor as a
man, by giving both the name of the author,
and the original manuscript of an article,
which appeared in the Democrat, and which
proved to be obnoxious to Ids Miriam of the
occasion. Ponderous, indeed, must have
been the blows which produced so despicable
a result
3d. lie experienced the eflect of the rod, at
once powerful, torturing, and sufficiently con
vincing to compel him to take another article,
intended to be copied from the Easton Argus
that relating to, and favoring the propriety
of sending Mr. John II. Storm a second time
time to Congress out of the very hand of hi?
type-setter, and consign it to the waste basket,
His Miriam did not want it to appear. A
threat to start an opposition paper was the
club used, and one whack so weakened his
back bone that he caved, not knowing that he
held in his hand a club far more potent than
threats.
We might multiply the instances of our
neighbor's sufferings from the infliction of the
rod, ad infinitum, but to do so would be but to
rub salt in sores already sufficiently painful
and add poignancy to the already existing
grief ofa dilapidated manhood. We, there-
fire," end here; but we cannot help thinking
that our neighbor is certainly not the man who
should delight to ind'i'ge in a'lusion to roc's,

a very sudden change in their route, they
were unable to "bill" the town, or advertise

that notwithstanding its tender age, the

is still rapidly increasing. We aunouncc it

The important duties that will rest
upon the Constitutional Convention soon
to be held in Pennsylvania are beginning
to receive thoughtful attention among our
intelligent people. It is perceived that
the construction of a new Constitution is
in fact a peaceful revolution the oblitera
tion and the. building up again of the
foundation of our laws. ' The Convention
is absolutely independent of all legislation
aud it and its work are responsible ouly
to tbe people from whom its original
power is derived. The magnitude of the
duties to be discharged bj it may there
fore be readily understood by those who
give attention to the grave matters ol
politics, and its proper action becomes to
them a subject of immediate interest and
thought.
One of the weakest points in our
present Constitution is . the facility with
which pardons for convicted offenders
may be obtained from the Executive.
The whole responsibility is placed in the
hands of the Governor, and the deliberate
action of courts and juries is subject to
revision and reversal by his individual
will. How unwisely this power has been
exercised of lute years every one knows,
for the examples are notorious enough.
This is a dauger to which we must always
be exposed while the pardoning power is
entrusted to a single person. And yet it
would be equally unwise to abolish tbe
pardoning power, for then the unjustly
convicted would be without hopo of re
dress or release. The system of referring
all such applications to the decision of a
board of officers of high responsibility,
which has been adopted in some of the
States, is found to work well, and may be
worthy of imitation here. Almost any
thing would be better than the present
practice, but we should choose the most
perfect that has been devised.
We instance the abuse of the pordoning
power as it exists under the present Con
stitution only because it has been so
strongly brought to public notice by
recent examples. As we have said before,
we need not hope to see any important
restrictions to corporate powers and privi
leges in the instrument. The Convention
will be filled with officers and attorneys
of railroad companies, who will take good
care that such interests do not suffer.
But we may stand this if the Legislature
is deprived of its power for special and
wilful action. If the bound of legislative
authority are oleaily marked, with a posi
tive prohibition against overstepping them,
wo can afford a pretty large latitude to
our great corporations. They enjoy it
already in special forms, and if the limit
is set down firmly the harm oaonot be
greater.
We hope that the intelligent sentiment
of the people of Pennsylvania will be
fully expressed, before and during the
meeting of the Convention, in relation to
its proper aotion. The Press will of
course be heard, but behind the newspa
pers are the citizens themselves. Let
popular opinion bo brought to bear from
every possible direction upon those who
are to make for us new political founda
tions. Bucks County Litcllijmcer.

We are glad that one State has done

law making it a misdemeanor, pun

comes of such an act, the perpetrator is
responsible criminally and pecuniarily.
This is a salutary statute, and should be
adopted in every State. Then the joke

Silver in Montana.
The following is an extract of a letter

P. R. IV, which promises the richest re
sults of any discovery on the Rocky

Deaths last Week.
The number of deaths in the city last
week was 477, being a decrease of 53
from those of tho previous week, aud 204
more than those of the corresponding
period last year. There were but four
deaths from small pox, and 122 from
cholera infantum. The returns for the
week exhibit a gratifying decrease in the
number of deaths as compared with the
mortality of a few weeks ago. The larg
est mortality in any single' week in the
history of the city previous to the present
season was 730 deaths in the weeks end
ingjuly 21,1866. Duriog the weeks
ending July 6, of the present year, the
deaths aggregated 764, and duriog the
ensuing week the total was swelled to the
fearful figure of 855. Here the turning
point was happily reached, the number of
deaths for the week ending July 20 be
ing only 587 ; for the week ending July
27 it was 530 ; and for the past week
477.- Inquirer.
One of the facts that appeal more
strongly than words to men of judgment
is the oonsUut appreciation of our State
credit under the financial management of
General Hartranft. When ho was first
elected, nearly seven year ago, our State
bonds were below par, selling at 881 .
Nobody cared to buy them as an invest
merit. Since that time they have steadily
risen in price until now the price in from
102 to lU7. nd none can be found in the
market. The State itself is unable to get
them in f ir redemption. This shows
that, in spite of the ory of oorruptioo that
the Democrats and their allius have so
loudly raised, tho pooplo geuerally have
entire faith in ihu oorrect aud faithful
management of the State finances. They
are so well satisfied' that they will uot
surrender the bonds the State calls in for
payuicut, but prefer thcintu othersecuri I
ties. Now it such is thecal with Hart
rauft as Auditor General, will it be any
worse when he is elected Governor ?
