tUXBURY, FEBRUAliY C, 1S74.
Tue movement on the part of Dr. Wag
euseller and Mr. Lovctt, to coiilest the elec
tion of last fall, is creating considerable ex
citement among some Democrats iu this
county. The editors of the Democrat and
Watsdnlovn Record are terribly exercised,
and even threaten to prosecute the siguers
of the petition, and those who made affida
vits that they believed illegal votes had
been polled. Whether these threats are
intended for the purpose of intimidation to
stop proceedings, we are not prepared to
say. It is, however, certain that legal pro
ceedings, as urged by these editors, would
bring their friends to grief and would
go a great way to induce twotile to believe
the statements correct, and that it was
done through fear of exposure. If, then,
these editors were shrewd they would ad
vise an investigation into the matter, so as
to vindicate their friends from such a
charge. If the charges are incorrect, an
investigation would give an opportunity to
prove their innocence, but if the proceed
ings are stopped through threats, or even
prosecutions, it would show as though an
investigation was shunned. In all pro
ceedings of contesting elections, it is ne
cessary that a petition bo sigued by a cer
tain number of voters, who pray lor an in
vestigation, and who assert that they be
lieve fraud bad been committed. In this
case the petition was signed by some of
our most reputable men in the county,
and we opine that parties who are innocent,
cuuld very readily prove their iuuocence
and be fully vindicated as to their integ
rity. As to the contest of the seats for Seuator
and Representative, we have do interest in
the matter further than if fraud has been
committed, we should like to see the par
ties who are guilty receive the punishment
they deserve. If fraud was committed,
and those gentlemen have been deprived of
their seats by a few unscrupulous individ
uals in defrauding honest voter of their
rights, we think the matter should be in
vestigated, and the perpetrators punished.
If no frauds were committed, then it cer
tainly would be a satislaclion to the dis
tricts where it is alleged frauds had been
committed, that they arc fully vindicated
from any such accusalior.8. We do not
pretend to say that there was actual fraud
anywhere; but if there was, there are uonc
u bo would know more about it, and arc
letter acquainted with the mauner it is
usually done, than the editors of the Duno
mU and the Record. We remember well
when these two aspirants were looking af
ter office, and were considered too small
fry for the 'Uing' politicians, and were
consequently beaten by a little legerdemain
and wire working. Ballot-box stuffing
was then supposed to have all been done
hi the coal region, and the citizeus of that
district held up to scoru, when it might
have been that others were equally guilty.
When the Knights of the Golden Circle
were iu operation, the Democratic majority
was in-uiensely swelled in some districts
where they now boast of belonging to the
"Court House Ring,"' and where no Re
publican election officers were then allowed
o participate in holding the elections. If
those things were done then, could it not
Iks possible that the 6amc might be repeated
l.v those narties at a time when their party
had become desperate at its rapid down
fall? As the editor of both the Democrat
and the Record accused their fellow Demo
crats of defrauding them out of office, tbey
6hould not blame others for doing the same
thing, but should urge an investigation so
ns to vindicate the honest portion of tlia-ir
party and expose the rascals that helped
to cheat them.
The foulest for the Mayoralty in I'hil
ndelphia has opened, and from apjxarancfcB
will be a lively one. The present Mayor,
Siokley, has been nominated by the Re
publicans, aud Alex. McClure by the Dem
ocrats. Enthusiastic meetings are held to
urge the claims of both candidates. For
tify Prtst is loud in praise of that slip
pery politician, McClure, but is likely to
meet with defeat, as the citizens f Phila
delphia cannot afford to give up good gov
ernment for a doubtful one. iStokley will
undoubtedly be elected by an immense ma
jority, of which he is certainly deserving,
as he has administered the affairs of the
''ity in a most satisfactory manner.
Senator Morton, in a recent speech
in tho Senate, takes strong ground iu favor
of the rights of Congress to control the
railroad. The Committee on Transpor
tation, it is said, will t&ke the broadest
ground claiming for the general govern
ment absolute sovereignty, independent of
tli rights of States, except such as are dis
tinctively dcGued by the Federal Constitu
tion, over railroads and canals, as a ne
cessary consequence of the power expressly
crauted, "to regulate commerce with for
eign nations and among the several States."
This upf.-ts and sweeps away the old and
absurd doctrine cf Calhoun and the State
Rights party, which has acted like an in
cubus on the South, and for the past half
century bas paralyzed all enterprise and
progress in that section of the Union. The
doctrine maintained by Mr. Morton is not
only in accordance with common sense,
but is sustained by the opinion of Chief
4 ustice Marshall many years ago. I f Con
gress can regulate the channels of com
merce with foreign nations, why not
among the States 'f
The editor of the Watsontown Record
thinks it was not "nice' in us in saying
that Mr. Cadwallader left any money in
the County Treasury when he retired from
that office. We confess it would not have
been "nice" if we professed to be a 'Ring"
Democrat. We are aware thai such a
thing had probably never occurred with
any Democratic Treasurer.. We find that
Mr. Cadwallader's predecessor, who did
not leave a cent in the Treasury when he
retired, has not yet returned I4.73K 2K
which belongs to the county, charged
against lita. So it is only a question what
Mr. Auten would call "nice." For our
part we prefer Mr. Cadwallader, who left
with his successor some ten hundred dol
lars, "nice" to his predecessor, who took
some six or tight thousand, on which the
county had to pay interest for several years
past.
Government revenues are improving.
During the existence of the panic, the
monthly revenues fell short several millions
of dollars. Rut during the month of Jan
uary the receipts havd exceeded the ex
penditures nearly two millions of dollars,
which was applied to the payment of the
public debt.
Times aro improving. Manufacturers
are gradually resuming work, and as con
fidence is restored matters will right tiienj
elves. Free Ranking. It is said the Com
mittees in Congress will report in favor of
JV"i Banking.
We fixd another complicated summary
of tho county finances in the Democrat of
last week, which needs some explanation.
The summary was no doubt furnished by
the "Ring Calculator," and who takes the
precaution to mislead the taxpayers before
the Auditors' Report is published, to which
his name is attached. lie states that the
receipts for 173 were So,7'.C 25, and the
expenditures 75,72:5 .r0, being an excess
of receipts ovcrexpcudituresof4$ll,07:5 7o.
This is very indefinite, aud we would like
him to state whether the 21,000 of the
county debt paid last year, and contracted
by Democratic officials, is included in the
amouut of expenditures, or whether the
Commissioners made up the balance above
$11,073 75.
In regard to the couuty assets, he gives
the following:
Outstanding County and
State taxes f 32,280 35
Balance in Treasure's
bads (since paid over)... 3,240 12
Balance in bands of (Jeo.
McEkiec 4,733 28
140,204 75
If there is still S32.2SG 35 of outstand
ing taxes after paying the county indebted
ness, aud all the expenditures of last year,
it shows a glorious exhibit of economical
management on the part of the County
Commissioners. Then he says "balance
in Treasurer's bauds (since paid over),
53,240 12." Does the Calculator mean to
say that the Auditors went beyond tho
year of 1873, aud have audited the ac
counts to date, or will lie explain what is
to be inferred by the words "ii'e paid
over t "
The outstanding debt he cites as fol
lows :
Onlstaodun: debt 2.7l 43
Of which the 725 bounty
order is supposed to have
been paid to 21 soldier
at 125 each, and not cred
ited 725 OU
And two county orders of
Sr5,atnonntiiig to 1,350
supposed to iie lot 1,350 00
M 12,025 00
Actual debt if the above or
ders are lost 774 42
The mystery in the above is how the
county would owe 725 00 when twenty
nine soldiers received it long ago. But
who these soldiers were, whether of the
"Ring" or in actual service, is not stated.
Then wc rind two county orders of 1,350
supposed to have been lost. Making alto
gether $2,025 00. He then states that if
the above orders are lost the actual in
debtedness would be 774 42. This
amount we presume includes the money
due Jacob Ixisenring, who refused to take
it up on the 15th of November last, when
the money was tendered and the interest
stopped. If that was the case, we would
state that Mr. Ixisenring, since the meet
ing of the Auditors, took the money, which
was in bank awaiting his order since the
15th of November, and which entirely
wiped out the county debt.
If the Calculator is desirous of enlight
ening the readers of the Democrat, lie
should furnish the figures as they arc re
corded on the Auditors Report, and not
get up an array of figures to suit his own
views, and to deceive the public. His
summary needs further explanation, and
we hope he will give it. As the figures
now stand, no one is able to comprehend
them except probably himself.
The York county Democratic officials
are put to a good deal of tiouble, and are
compelled to get up at night and go to the
Court House and carry off and destroy all
the vouchers. &c, of payments. Another
book has lately been spirited away to where
inquisitive mortals cannot see its myste
rious records of "divides." This week,
says the York Democrat, has been appoint
ed for the trial at Ilarrisburg of the cases
Lof tho State against former treasurers of
this county for militia taxes which she
claims to have been entitled to, but which
were appropriated to assessors, commis
sioners, their clerks, treasurers and other
suffcriug and ill paid county officers. It
appears, however, that when the book in
which all these matters were entered was
called for, to be produced before the court
on a subpa-ua duces tecum, it had myste
riously disappeared since the last trial of
the cases, and the most diligent search
failed to discover its whereabouts ! What
a fatality attends the books, vouchers,
"6tubs" and other like evidences of public
matters in York county! The officers con
cerned may well say of them,
' Though lost to sight, to memory dear,"
for they nere once very precious and profit
able to them, but they fulfilled their mis
sion, and now their absence is not regret
ed. Neither vaults nor safes secure them.
Voucher-thieves and book conveyers, as
well as love, "laugh at locksmiths." York
county can beat the world at such legerde
main "aud yet we arc not happy!"
Col. Mk iiexeu. We arc glad to uotice
Col. Michcuer, one of the head clerks in
the I'ostoffice Department, arrested a few
weeks ago ou the charge of purloining
mouey, has been entirely exonerated. The
facts iu the case look as though there was
a conspiracy against the Colonel by par
ties who are lookiug for the same position,
and set up a job to remove him. But as
we predicted, the Colonel proved his inno
cence, and his calumniators are foiled in
their attempt to bring an honest roan to
disgrace. The Colonel, wherever known,
has always borne a good character for
honesty aud integrity, and we venture to
say there arc few clerks in the Depart
ment that we would sooner trust to a re
sponsible positiou than Colonel Michener.
Money never was easier or more abund

The New Postal Bill. By the deci
sive manner iu which the House suspended
the rules to set an early day to consider
the bill providing for sending Congres
sional publications free through the mails,
and placing county newspapers on the free
list, there seems to be no doubt but that
the bill will pass when reached.
An Item of Interest to Soldiers
Wounded in the Late War. A mea
sure of considerable importance to soldiers
who served in the late rebellion has been
agreed upon by the Committee on Invalid
pensions. It provides, first, that soldiers,
who suffered amputation of the arm above
the elbow shall receive the same pension
as is now paid to soldiers whose legs were
amputated above the knee. Another pro
vision is, that soldiers entitled to a pen
sion, whose names have been placed upon
the roll by a special act of Cougress, shall
receive the samn pay that is now given
soldiers whose names had been placed on
the roll under the regular pension act. The
obiect is to equalize the pensious of soldiers
similarly wounded in the late relwllion.

The great Evans case was finally dis
posed of on Saturday at Ilarrisburg, by
the finding of a verdict in favor of the
State for ?1S3,0G3 50. Whether the State
will ever recover the amount or not is ex
tremely doubtful, unless, iudeed, there be
law sufficient to warrant its being claimed
aud secured from those who used Evans as
their cats-paw and pocketed the swag.
One thing, however, has been secured,
and that is the full vindication of the po
sition of Governor Hartranft and Treas
urer Mackey, the then financial guardian
of the State. The outrageous charges
made against these gentlemen, so over
whelmingly disproved by their election to
their present high positions by the people
of the State, are doubly disposed of by the
verdict of the jury referred to; the trial
and its results being due to the prosecu

An k( dote of Cusiiing. An elderly
gtntleman, who has a large fund of anec

Cushing which will bear printing. Some
forty jetrs ago, Mr. C. was raying court
to a wealthy Baltimore lady. Baltimore
ladies then showed their charms in the
light of tallow-dips, gas being unknown.
There were a couple of dips on the mantel
piece, and, as they much needed snuffing,
the lady rang a bell for a servant. Mr.
Cushing, asked why she rang, wet his
thumb and finger, and scuffed the candles
a la Yankee. The lady was horrified at
Mr. Cushing's unaristocratic style of snuff
ing candles, and so dismissed him.
Sunday school begging for every con
ceivable purpose, finds a set-back in this
remark of a common-sense Christian, told
by the Christian Union : "It almost seems
to be a fashion among Sunday school men
generally, whenever pressed for a personal

4No, I can't give, myself ; but I'll tell you
what I can do I think I can get you some
thing from our Sunday school ?' " The
editor adds : "We were reminded again
of Artemus Ward's patriotism in determin
ing that the country should be saved, even
though every one of his first wife's relatives
were, sacrificed."

A I'ulnlul Scene In Court.
IIakrishl rg, Feb. 3. An exciting and
painful scene occured in the court-room this
morning, when the sentencing of prisoners
convicted during last session of court took
place. The two negroes, Moody and Ros
entine, convicted of the murder oi Abra
ham Iiehm, were in the crowd to be sen
tenced, and before he was called Rosentine
made a full confcsiiou, admitting the truth
of the witnesses who convicted him. When
called to stand up, Rosentine made a spas
miMlic effort to arise, but immediately fell
heavily to the floor, overcome by the awful
solemnity of the proceedings and the weight
of guilt on him, tht poor wretch evidently
suffering the agony of a dozen deaths at
the contemplation of his hanging. Moody
was indifferent to the situation in which he
was placed, and did his best to act the
part of the bravo. These two men were
convicted entirely on circumstantial evid
ence, woven link by link by an indefatiga
ablc prosecuting attorney, until the web
was too strong to admit of the prisoners'
escape, and now his searching and keen ar
guments are corroborated by a confession
of the party convicted.

3,857,308, and in comparison with 1872 a
decline of 0,54,871. The indications
point to a light spring trade in imported

SWINDLES.
Out of the million of people who make
up the population of this great Babel, fully
one hundred thousand live ou the labor of
others that is to say, are thieves of one
sort or another. The worst of these arc
the advertising thieves, for while they steal,
Ihey do it in such an iugeuious way as to
escape the peualties of the law. The his
tory of one or two of them may not be un
interesting. "(5. R. Murray & Co.," is a good name.
Well, G. R. M. & Co., advertise that they
possess 1,500,000 of watches, pianos and
jewelry, which they will "distribute" by
lot at one dollar for each ticket. You are
invited to send twenty-live cents to these
benevolent gentlemen, receiving therefor a
ticket which describes the prize you are en
titled to. You send your twenty-five cents
and you do get a ticket like this :
"MERCANTILE PRIZE ASSOCIATION.
"Certificate No. 22733.
"This certificate when accompaiued by
one dollar, (and fifty cents for packing), en
titles the holder to one Silver-Hunting
Cased Watch, valued at15 00. Slate how
you wish it sent."
Now send 1 50 and what happens.
Nothing. You never hear of it again.
And as these fellows get letters by the
bushel, every one of which contains money,
it is not difficult to suppose that they live
in clover. Their office is, in one advertise
ment, in one place ; in another, another,
so that victims in search of them never find
them. The police get after them, but they
change their style so frequently that it is
impossible to catch them.
The fellows who are to-day doing busi
ness over the name of G. R Murray & Co.,
have within a year becu known as the
United States Tontine Association, of 23
Park Row ; as Norton, Quinn & Co., of
122 Broadway ; aa Holliday, Lewis & Co.,
of 23 Park Row ; as Walter B. Turner &
Co., of 746 Broadway ; as II. II. Briddle
& Co., of 50 Broad street ; as Chester V.
Dudley & Co., of 34 New street ; as Alvah
Young, of 205 Broadway ; as Edward Se
ville & Co., of 34 New street : as Oswald
West & Co., of 40 Broad street ; as S. Solo-
man & Co., of 134 Nassau street ; and as
Gilbert Putnam & Co., of G4 Broadway.
But ingenious as the gentlemen are the
last two months has developed a more
GORGEOUS SCOUNDRELISM.
The only expense attending these swin
dles is the advertising, and how to dodge
them has beeu the question with them.
Two of these thieves assumed the name of
"Kirk wood & Beach , Advertising Agents,"
and issued an order to the newspapers of
the country, advertising a dozen or more
of bogus articles, under a dozen or more
different names, the price of which was al
ways to be sent by mail to the P. O- Box
designated. To seduce the publishers of the
country these villains boldly referred to A.
T. Stewart, C. A. Dana, and Jas. Gordon
Bennett, of New York, to M. Halstcad, o
the Cincinnati CommerciaZ.and D. R. Locke,
of the Toledo Blade. As their offer to the
papers were liberal, and their references
unexceptionable, hundreds of papers pub
lished tneir advertisements, and immedi
ately cords of letters came to the different
parties named, all of which Kirk wood &
Beach took out of the Post-Office and ap
propriated, of course.
As a matter of course the newspapers
publishing the advertisements will never
get a cent ; those who send money to the
various addresses will never get what they
send for ; in short the only people who get
anything are the ingenious scoundrels who
assume the firm name of "Kirkwood &
Beach." When will people learn wisdom ?
When will people learn that a dollar is a
dollar, and, when a man proposes to give
two dollars for one, that he means a swin
dle and there is a swindle under it. May
I impress ou your readers this important
maxim : Never send money to any per
son whom you do not know. Is it a medi
cal ? There is no physician in the great
cities who knows a particle more than do
your own practitioners. Is it a piano,
watch or diamond distribution ? These
goods have a fixed value in the market,
if any one has them there is no earthly use
of making a sacrifice to dispose of them.
Iu short, a little common sense is all that
necessary to protect a person from these
swindlers. Do, good people, who read
these lines, use a little common sense and
save your money.
A CURIOUS SOCIETY.
It has been discovered that the upper
crust criminals in the tombs have organiz
ed a society for mutual defence. By upper-crust
I mean the big thieves, the burg
lars, the forgers and murderers. They
contribute so much each to a fund for de
fending each in his turn, and a fixed sum
which goes to the family of the one con
victed and sentenced. This is co-operation
in a new direction. But why not ?
Crime is a regular trade with all the rules
and regulations that other trades have.
POLITICAL INCIDENTS.
The Democracy of Brooklyn are made of
the same material as their brethern in New
York. At a primary meeting in the Nine
teenth Ward, a return was handed in
signed by a man named Cunningham. A
man at the end of the room cried out, "I
don't believe Mr. Cunningham signed that
return," whereupon Mr. Cunningham
jumped to his feet and declared that he had
signed it. The voice from the end of the
room quickly retorted, "Parry Cunning
ham didn't sign it. Paddy Cunningham
can't write his name ; I have a document
in my pocket to which hisnutrA- is affixed.'
At the meeting of the General Commit
tee amusing incidents were related of rooms
in which voting was being carried on, be
ing cleared by force, and the ballot-boxes
stuffed to suit the muscular majority. At
the Nine-teenth Ward primary the voting
was brought to an abrupt termination by
cutting off the gas. Democracy is the same
now that it always was.
FASHION IN RELIGION.
It is a noticeable fact that the churches
of New York are almost bare of women
twice each year in the periods between
Winter and Spring, and Autumn and Win
ter when it's too cold for a summer bon
net and not cold enough for a winter head
covering. But religion is now being made
fashionable. People are now invited to
prayer-meetings precisely as invited to a
social soiree or an evening party. A friend
of mine gave me the following transcript
ol a card which he received : " Mr. and
Mrs. proposes (D V.) to hold a Bible
reading, on evening at 7$ o'clock,
when the compauy of friends is requested.
Subject Revelation II. Reading from 7j
to 9A. Morning dress." I saw one sent to
another friend which, as far as the body of
it was concerned, might have applied to
a dance or card party, but in the corner
were the characters. "T. and P." After
a while he discovered that the cabalistic
sign stood for Tea and Prayer. He went
and reported. After tea Bibles werehaud
ed round on a tray and religious exercises
were held. Curious world this.
BUSINESS
continues to improve. Collections, we are
assured by one of our largest dry goods
houses, are very much belter this year than
they were last. So far, in this mouth of
January, in the house referred to, the col
lections are at the rate of seven per cent,
better than in Jauuary, 1873. This result
upon old obligations is certainly both fa
vorable and hopeful. The fact is the panic
of last fall had no reality in it. It had no
bottom, and should have affected nothing.
But men got frightened, and it took just so
long a time for them to get over their
fright. They are over it now and busi
ness goes on as- usual.
THE WEATHER
is as changeable here as a fashionable wo
man. In the morning zero at noon G0
at night rain, and ice by midnight. You
need overcoast, umbrellas, linen dusters
and fans to be perfectly safe when you go
out. Oh ! for an old-fashioned winter.
PlETRO.
SYMPTOMS OF CATARRH
Obstruction of nasal passages, discharge
falling into thtoat, sometimes profuse,
watery, acid, or thick and tenacious, mu
i..in r.nriitrnt Mmxlv nutrid. offensive.
I .r i. o .ihiv. j , g- j '
etc. In others a dryness, weak or iutlatued
eyes, ringing in ears, ueainess, Ulcerations,
scabs from ulcersvoice altered, nasal
twaug, offensive breath, impaired smell
and taste, etc. Few only of above symp
toms likely to be present in any case at one
time.
To cure take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medi
al Diamverv earnestly, to correct the blood
and system, which are always at fault, also
to act specincaiiy, as u noes, upuu mo uis
eased glands and lining membrane of the
nose and its communicating chambers.
The more I see of this odious disease, the
more positive is my belief that if we would
make treatment itrfcctly successful in curiug
it, we must use co)istitutional treatment to
act through the blood, as well as a
soothing and healing local application,
Dr. Sage's Catarrh Itemedy. when used
warm and applied with Dr. Pierce's Nasal
Douche, effects cures upon "common
sense," rational aud scientific principles,
by its mild, soothing and healing proper
ties, to which the disease gradually yields,
when the system has been put in perfect
order by the use of the Golden Medical Dis
covery This is the only perfectly safe,
scientific and successful mode of acting
upon and healing it.
So successful has the above course of treat
ment proven that the proprietor offers 500
reward for a case he can not cure : All the
means sold by Druggists. R. V. Pierce,

FAI JI'KILLERl
FOR OVER THIRTY TEARS
Perry Davis Vegetable Palii-KIIIer
IIAS BEEN TESTED IN EVERY VARIETY OF
CLIMATE, AND BY ALMOST EVERY
NATION KNOWN TO AMERICANS.
It is the constant companion and esti
mable friend of the missionary and the
traveler, on sea and land, and no one should
travel on our Lakes or Rivers without it.
It has been before the public over thirty
years, and probably has a widow and bet
ter reputation than any other proprietary
medicine ot the present day. At this pe
riod there are but few unacquaiuted with
the merits of the Paiu-Killer : but while
extol it as a liniment, they know but little
of its power in easing pain when taken in
ternally, while others use it internally with
great success, but are equally ignorant of
its healing virtues when applied externally.
We therefore wish to say to all that it is
equally successful whether used internally
or externally, and it stands to-day, unri
valled by all the great catalogue of family
mediciues. It is sufficient evidence of its
virtues as a standard medicine, to know
that it is now used in all parts of the world
and that its sale is constantly increasing.
No curative agent has had such wide spread
sale or given such universal satisfaction.
It is a purely vegetable compound, and
pefectly safe in unskillful hands.
After thirty years, trial, is still receiving
the most unqualified testimonials to its
virtues, from persons of the highest charac
ter responsibility. Physicians of 'the first
respectability, recommend it as a most
effectual preparation for the extinction of
pain, It is not only the Dest remeuy ever
known for Bruises,' Cuts, Burns, &c, but
for Dysentery or Cholera or any sort of
bowel complaint, it is a remeuy unsurpass
ed for efficiency and rapidity of action. In
the great cities of India, and other hot cli
mates, it has become the Staudard Medi
cine for all such com plants, as well as for
Dyspepsia, Liver Complaints, and other
kindred disorders. For Coughs and Colds,
Canker, Asthma, aud Rheumatic difficul
ties, it has been proved by the most abund
dant and convincing testimony to be an in
valuable medicine.
BEWARE OF ALL IMITATION.
The Pain-Killer is sold by all respecta
ble druggists throughout the United States
and foreurn countries.
Prices 25 cents, 50 cents and 1 per
bottle.
