A CEHTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary of
pleasure linds that be has Imbibed the seeds of
this painful disease, it too often huppens that an
ill-timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery,
deters him from applying to those who, from
education aud rct-puctability, can alone befriend
him, deluying till the constitutional symptoms 01
this horrid disease make their uppearance, such
as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, noctural
pains in the head and limbs, dlmnesB of sight,
dcufucss, nodes on the shin bones and amis,
blotches on lh; bead, race and extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till at lut the
palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall
in, aud the victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a period to his dreadlul sutienug, ny seiidlug
him to " that Undiscovered Country from hcuco
no traveller returus."
It Is a melaucholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
Into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful PRE
TENDERS, who, by the use or tbut deadly Poi
son, Mercury, Ac, destroy the constitution, and

READ-THE FACTS I
LET HIM DE.NYIT IF HE DARE I
When U10 Avontlale horror, in 18G9,
rousud tho public mind to tho crying ne
cessities for some measures of protection
for the) coal miuera, tliee pulicut toilers
were in a pitiable condition indeed. Forced
to work iu collieries where tim chuuees of
violent death were greater than in the
powduf magazine, or starve, they demand
ed tht passage of a law to force their em
ployers to so veuliluto the mines that a j
laborer in their deadly depths miht be
delivered . from the prospect of certain
death ; for it Imd been shown that being
killed in them was only a question of time.
liefore applying for legislative relief the
miners had endeavored to induces the opera
tors to provide soino means of safety, or nt
least of eseapu, from the horrors to which!
they were exposed. The endeavor failed I
Sordid capital seldom hears the wail of
sorrow, and is Blow to alleviate it. This
refusal showed its evil effect at once. The
miners were in a sullen mood. Tho symp
toms of that almost complete disorganiza
tion which, ut a later period, convulsed the
milling regiou, could bo seeti. Aud the
time lor prompt relief, or stem deliance,
had come. j
Wheu the Legislature of 1870 met its at
tention was at once called to lhe subject.
That the Legislature felt the necessity of
prompt action a referenco to the Senate
Journal of 1870 will show. One day alter
the Legislature met (January o.) Mr. Tur
ner presented a bill entitled "An Act pro
viding for tho health and safety of persons
employed in coal mines." (See page 12.)
Ou the 11 Hi of January the hill was refer
red to the Committee 011 Mines and Mining
(see page 111.) Ou Febreary 11 it was re
ported, with amendments, and tho 17th
was set apart for its consideration (see
page 334). On February 17th, it being tho
"bpecial order," the bill c.tmo before the
Senite fur notion (see page 3S'J).
Then the full futce of tho lobby, employ
ed by tho mine owners, began to bo fell,
and the work f defeating this most right
eous measure begau in earnest. The tem
per of tho miners was determined, and
their demand was backed by a public senti
ment so litiu, that to deteat the bill openly
would have raised a storm of indignation
few possessed the nervo to encounter. It
was therefore resolved by the lobby, and
its creatures in the Senate, to mutilate the
bill by amendments, aud so kill it by indi
rection. The bill might pass ; but its pro
moters aud friends should see that, when
it was passed, it was useless as a protection
to tho hardy and courageous miner, and
harmless as a restraint ou tho rapacious
operator. Hie tact was early developed,
that CHAitLws it. lifCKALEW was under
iinVjubi law'Y!rt!iv, forking to defeat
nients were offered to the l"luV"--to
those put upon it by tho committee.
Some of these are harmless enough to the
casual observer, liut otheis are llagraully
hostile to the spirit, aud destructive of the
value of the bill. And particularly one
made by Mr. Liuekalew was vitally hostile
to the best part of the bill. The third sec
tion is very important, and the committee,
after devoting a month to an anxious con
sideration of the subject, reported it as fol
lows :
Sec. 3. "That four months after thi
passage of this uct, it shall uot bo lawful
lor the owner, or agent, ot any anthracite
coal mine, or colliery, worked by, or through
a shall, or slope, to employ any person in
working within such coal mine or colliery,
for the purpose of 'vorking therein, unless
there are, iu communication with every
seam, or stratum of coal workeu in such
coal mine or colliery, for the time being at
work, at least two shafts, or slo(e8, or out
lets, separated by natural strata, of not
less than one hundred and lift v feet iu
breadth, by which shafts, slopes, or outlets,
distinct means ot ingress and egress are 11 1
ways available to the persons employed iu
the coal mine, or colliery," &c. This
period named, of four months, was uo
chance. The miners demanded protection
The owners of mines had rights. To have
made it instantly unlawful to employ men
because improvements, requiring some
time to make, were not made, would have
been unjust. Tho supply of coal must
stop. The capitalist must sutler. The
miner must want, perhaps starve, liut
tho pressing want of the miner must be
considered in conjunction with the desire
of the capitalist to delay. Aud to prevent
any improper, or unnecessary delay, the
mine owner was forced to make the Im
provements demanded by the safety of his
miners in tho lime specified, or failing to
do this, close his mine as a, penalty for his
inhumanity.
Tho lobby determined to attack the point
of time named in tho third sectiou I liy
defeating tho specille period tho owners of
mines mmht co on lor a year ; and at the
end of a year there might Iks a softeuiug of
that stem public opinion which demanded
protection for the sturdy delvers iu the
mines. Perhaps the owners thus might
escape, eutirely, tho public clamor that
thev should convert these trol;;otlias of
death iuto regious of comparative safety.
These were the arguments or tuo loony ;
aud they at ouco acted on them. Ou Feb
ruary 17, Mr. Huckitlew moved and Mr.
It.n.l1 1 .......... 1.1,4 thn T. .M. .1., U, r nm.in1.

So thoroughly did this destroy the bill that
Mr. Siney a getiiicman iu the coulldenco
of tho miners, then in llarrishurg, to pass
the bill for them and Senator Mutuma,
who had charge of tho bill, were thoroughly
discouraged. Mr. Siuey determined to go
home, aud abandon what seemed a hope
less elfort, aud to Ull his friends they had
nothing to hope for from a Legislature con
trolled by the luiue owners and that coal
carrying monster, the Heading railroad.
Mr. Mumnia urgod hiuj to remain, and de
termined to make one more ctl'ort. lie

a fiery phillipic against the heads of those
who, claiming to be the friends of tho work-inrvmnn.di-niud
the most daiiL'erouslv situ
ated class of workingmen the poor boon of
security against a fearful, a horrible au;
and closing, he implored hi Republican coU
lenijuta to Ktand by him, nnd pass this bill
as it came from tho committee, cutting off
the amendments put upon It to kill it, by
the creaturts of the lobby. The effect was
electrical. That shrewd nnd far sighted
politician, Win, A Wallace, was yet in
command. lie moved about among the
Democratic Senators, nud in a few mo
ments forced thftn all but Handall to
withdraw tho hurtful nmendmcnts, and
suffer the bill, to pass. Handall clung to
one amendment which is now in tho law.
The com 111 it tee letl the amount of the tine
for an infraction of tho law in certain sec
tions open to the discretion of tho court.
Mr. Handall fixed the maximum line nt
$300 ! The bill did not reach tho Governor
from tho Ilouso until March 3, when it was
approved. Instantly a technical difficulty
was raised that the law as it was passed
could not go into effect for ono year. The
phraseology on which these petty lawyers
relied was in section 1 of the law. The
section provides that each owner of a initio
shall have prepared an accurate map of his
mine, nnd shall tile, on thejirstwtiti oj Jan
uary and July of even year hereafter, a
copy of such map with the Inspector of
Mines wlioio olhee is created bv this bill.
The bill passed and was npproved March
3, and ns the pharsc "first of January and
July" occurred in the law, therefore uo one
could bo forced to make any report or do
anything to secure the safely of the miners
until January 1, I8d. The lobby wero
jubilant. They had won by a chance I
Tho very point Uuekalew had aimed at
was secured ! And time had been eained.
The friends of the bill believed the Su
preme 1 ourt would decide that the law
must bn construed in contorunty with tho
intention of its framers ; but, to avoid all
doubt, rt short supplement was presented
u the Senate requiring the coal mine
owners to prepare their mines in accord

IX OLD STORY
It is perhaps too much to expect that tho
Frees will admit candidly that its charges
against General Hartranft have been utter
ly and completely refuted. Such an net
might be suicidal, liut it was reasonable
to suppose that it would refrain from
"damnable iteration" of falsehoods which
are known by the whole comniuuily to
have tnat cnaractur. And yet tins morn
ing it returus to its old accusation through
tho medium of a letter which was probably
written In its own otlice, aud makes the
following charges : That General Hartranft
is responsible for the Evans defalcation
that the legislative committee appointed to
investigate tho matter censured Hartranft
in the severest manner ; that tho siukin
fund has l'en robbed ; nnd that Hartranft
Was in league with Geary in the Evans
business. There is something inexpressi
bly impudent iu this continued reference to
the Evans robbery by the Trtss. The very
investigating committee which is quoted by
tbat lournai saui, in us report :
"We nre unablo to nrrive nt any reliable
data as to the disposition of tho whole of
the commissions withheld by Evans. He
testifies thnt ho is without property of a..y
kind, and that he paid his debts and ex
penses with these moneys. D. C. Forney
admits that Evans paid hiiu So, 000 out of
the commissions, and swears that ho iiau
a contract for 210,000 thereof. Evans
swears that the sum ;at(i Furnetj was 80,'
000."
And amons the testimoney presented in
the same report was the following evidence
from Evans Inmselt :
"I think 1 am indebted to Colonel John
W. Forney, more than any other man, lor
tho cudorse.uent to tho Governor, and per
Inps also to several geutlemcn with whom
I hnvc no personal acquaintance, but who
were persuaded trom tlio recommenuaiiou
of Colonel Forney that I was a proper per
son to be appointed agent."
John V. Forney, editor of tho Press,
also admitted that he had received two
thousand dollars of the money alluded to in
tho above extract. It is therefore indecent
for tho Press to recall this Evans caso daily,
and to usa it to blackou the character of
General Hartranft, especially ns tho For
neys still retain their share of tho stolen
money, after having placed Evans whero
ho could take it, and having striven desper
ately to save him from punishmeut.
liut the slmmelessncss of this conduct is
quite equal by the persistence with which
the Press asserts that Gen. Hartranft was
a party with Geary to the Evans fraud, nnd
that the Legislative committee fastened the
guilt upon hiui. Every man iu the State
who knows anything about tho case is
aware that Geary and the Forney ring con
ducted the Evans robbery secretly, nnd
that as soon as lhe crime came to the light,
General ilurtranft did his very best to
compel Evans to make restitution. Evans
would never have been arrested but for
General Hartraufl, nnd his prosecutor was
due effort of thnt officer ; while it iscertaiu
that the persecution of Hartranft by tho
Forneys is intended as au act of veugeance
directed against the faithful Auditor-Gen-ral
for his determined conduct in this ease.
The Legislative committee so far from de
nouncing Uen. ilarttaim, and declaring
him responsible for the Evans-Forney rob
bery, wholly 'exOrnerated him. It scid in
fact :
"On the 29th of Fcbrunry, 1872, n resolu
tion nnd preamble In, reference to a com
munication in the new York Tribrm of
the preceding day, wero referred to this
committee, in lime communication cer
tain resolutions wore quoted which reflect
ed upon John F. Hartranft, Auditor-Gen
eral, nnd H. W. Mackoy, Male Treasurer,
and made specific charges against them In
their official capacity. It was made our
duty to investigate these charges, nnd to
ascertain the facts atlcuding the introduc
tion of the said resolution, and the publi
cation of the same. We have ascertained
that the resolutions referred to in the com
municntion to the Tribune wero prepared
by Strnhnn, counsel of Evans, Evans him
self or Dr. William Fuine, one of his bail.
and that they jointly attempted to procure
their introduction into and pnssago by tho

tne lucts charged in the resolutions recit
in that communication are untrue ; that in

us nil of the witnesses whose testimony
seemed likely to throw any light upon the
transactions charged ; that several commu
nications have appeared in the New York

tho ollieials before named and other persons

As for the charge that tho sinking funds

may refer to tho report of Messrs. Lewis &

There is but one thing they can ever say
about the Evans caso th-At will uot excite
the disgust of is community. It is to an
nounce that Mr. Forney has given his
share of tho plunder back to tho Treasury,
mat no deeply regrets having placed ivans
in olliee so that he might rob the State, and
that he is sorry that the hatred excited by
General Hartranfi's prosecution of Evans,
and by the fear of a thorough investigation
in case ot llartrautt's election, impelled
him to heap falsehood aud slander upon

FLXDGCS GIVEN TO KESTOHE THE LATE HEBKI.S TO
rOWBIt.
tneky. nn the 2d hist., General Hode,
Democratic Elector 101 iiic otato at large,
spoke cs follows :
'1 navo devoted a hie timo to the princi
ples ot the Democratic party. 1 have
rown gray in the advocacy ot those prin
ciples, and each year the conviction has
grown deeper that its ftindimental princi
ples nre the true touudatiou-stoues ot this
Government. 1 have seen upon the battle
Held thousands throw away their lives in
defense of these principles. The graves of
the gallant boutlicru dead who sleep uuder
every hill-side in tho South, over whose
graves the night winds sigh, are reminders
to me of the love for these principles which
still linger iu my heart. The second pas-
sago in Mr. Greeley's letter means that
Joliu C. lireekinridge and other chivalrous
sons of the South shall bo restored to their
former positions of power and influence.
Looking back upon the once shattered and
fruitless hopes of tho South, I now see that
the equal rights and sovereignity of States
shall be roslored, and my comrades of tho
lost cause have not died in vain. This will
be a victory for that for which they fought.
Mr. Greeley promised to do all ho could to
aid us when wo get a majority iu Congress.
1 object to Grant because he is a Republi
can ; because he is a member ot that party
which waged successfully the contest
against my brethreu of the South, whose
orators kept the fires burning that rilled
the Federal ranks with soldiers. I have
heard it said by some that the Iemoeratic
party shall have no part with Mr. Greeley
in lhe couquesl; but 1 feel that they will
not be ueglected. Not only will Greeley
not forget who has helped him to his posi
tion, but pledges direct pledges have
been given lis by him that wu shall not be
forgotten in case of success."
Colonel U. C. 1'. lircckiuridgo said nt
the sainu meeting :
"Our part of this bargain is to ivo tho
Liberal l.cpubliians our voles, in order to
enab'.S them to succeed in the uuderlasiug.
Their pai I of tht! bargain is to restore to
power the now disfranchised sons of the
South, t ) drive out of tho Icmpel these van
dals and thieves, and to restore you, Demo
crats, to their positions. I hey are to give
you, men of the South, those places which
the men ol tho uommaul party now noid.
1 don't care a picayune fur Jlurace (irctley.
or whut he has said, lie represents Vie dawn
of a new era to us, an era Vmt will restore us
to power. Will that uot be ticUjry enough
for ust It may be, in tho words oi'a friend
lVoiu Woodford, lSlackburu, "that Greeley
is purgatory, but Graut is hell." Tho
electiou of Greeley also menus that the
Federal soldiers, who now stand us a per
pr.tuul menace of the South, shall be re
moved. 1 am tired of seeing them here.
They have no business here. This is not
tho place for them. I don't want to vote
any longer under a shadow of bayonets. 1
want them out West, where they ought to
be."
liuckalew' Uecord.
The Philadelphia Bulhtin of Thursday,
of last week, says on Tuesday uight Mr.
liuckalew made a speech at Lancaster, lu
which ho undertook to defeud the acts of
his Congressional career, aud to explain
away lhe charge, so often mado against
him, that he was in sympathy with the
rebels and the rebelliou, and was the con
sistent opponent of every measure devised
by loyal men for the protection of the
Government, liut Mr. liuckalew did not
j by any meaus cover the wholo ground iu
his remarks. .rue re were mauy puuuu
ncU of his to which he made no reference
whatever, because he dared not speak of
them, knowing loom to in wnouy inueien
sible. We may cataloguo a few of them
hero, so tbat loyal men may know some
thing of the record of this person who as
pires to become the Governor of tho Stata
which did such good and valient servico
agaiust those rebels for whom Mr. liucka
lew Imd such warm alfeclioti.
While iu Congress Mr. liuckalew voted
against the Fifteenth Amendment to tha
Constitution of tho United States ; against
the repeal cf the iulatnous Fugiiivo Siava
law ; against establishing the Frecdmen's
Bureau ; against a Civil Kights bill, which
secured equality before tho law to all men
of every color, and ho voted for a constitu
tional amendment prohibiting negroes from
becoming citizens of tho United States.
He voted Against paying bounties to volun
teers," against giving black soldiers tho
same pay us white soldiers ; against tho
conscription law ; against payment of tho
"emergency men" called out'to defend his
own State, and ho voted for paying rebel
slave-owners for slaves drafted or received
into the armies of tho United States. Ha
opposed the National banking net, and tho
nduption of a uniform system of bankrupt
cy. He voted against tho reconstruction
nets and the supplements thereto ; ngainst
the resolution excluding from the Elector
al College the vole of the States not yet or
ganized, nnd against n resolution provid
ing that neither House of Congress should
admit Senators and representatives from
the llebel States until Cougress should
have declared such Stato entitled to repre
sentation. These tire but a few illustrations of tho
character of a career which was marked by
personal opposiiion to every measure ap
proved or devised by the loyal peoplo of
the country, and by consistent support of
every scheme wiucli could help tho causo
of his rebel friends. All through that long
and desperate struggle with the confeder
acy Mr. liuckalew had no word of cheer
for the armicj and the people of tho North,
but always, whether in tho halls of Con
gress, or in secret conference with tho re
bel conspirators nt Niagara Falls, he did
all that was in his power to do to help tho
Southern leaders and to embarrass their
opponents. This is the man who is the
rival of John F. Hartranft, tho brave sol
dier and faithful civil oflieer, as nn aspir
ant to the Chief Magistracy of tho State.
We refuse to believe that Pennsylvania
will reject one who helped to save the Un
iou anil honor 0110 who strove so desperate
ly to destroy it.

Apple Huttei:. A correspondent of
tho Ohio Farmer says : Noticing in your
paper an article, "Mow to make a barrel of
applo butter," I will give my plan : "Soou
as the cider brought from the press, wa
proceed to boil it down as quickly ns pos
sible to avoid fermentation, but instead of
beginning to fill in with apples wheu half
boiled, and stirring with a paddle twenty
hours, we continue tho boiling process till
it is all boiled down to a good sirup, say
about five gallons into one, which can bo
poured out into a wood or stoue vessel, and
will ke.p if not ready to make up immedi
ately. The evening previous to making up,
with tho assistauco of our men folks, wa
pare nud core our apples, which we stew
in a little sweet cider if we have it, other
wise, water or soma of the boiled cider
weakened down. When the apples aro
cooked soft, we commence stirring, adding
tho boiled cider as fast as it will bear, four
bushels ol apples being finite sufficient for
thirty-two gallons of cider. Three hour
brisk boiling with constant stirring will
make it strong enough to keep a year if
desired."

and it will be surrounded in summer with

and spray will break the force of winds iu

The objection that low branches are a
hindrance to plowing is only auother rea
son w hy they should bo suffered to remain.
Among tho" maDy enemies of fruit trees
uone arc more destructive and remorseless
than the plow. It does incurable mischief
by breaking roots, bruising bark nnd muti
lating blanches. A plow ought never pass
nearer to a fruit tree than the tips of its
lowest branches. Let the spade be used In

The tree itself was more than resigned; it
