Tax Philadelphia Prett has a re
port from Belkfonte, Pa., that it is a
foregone conclusion that ex-Qovernor
A. O. Curtin will rnn for Congress
on the Democratic ticket in that dis
trict this fall.
Has the Potter committee torn any
linen in their frantic efforts to Cod
who offered Judge Levissec $100,000
to east his rote for Tilden 1 If the
committee bad got an inkling that
Matthews or Nojes or Sherman or
Hares offered a hnndreth part of
that large Earn for a vote, Potter and
Tint1r would bare gone frantic to
trace ont and confirm the fact. Why
is the 1100,000 bribe to be passed in
silence? Does it hart some of the
Democratic innocents ?
We have now cad a year and a
balfof the Tilden fight, and the
country is asked to derote to it 6ome
three years or bo additional, for the
gratification of trying to make a
President oat of a man who wasn't
honest enough to pay his income tax,
and who tried to buy np an electoral
tote in Oregon. What an exalted
Ideal of statesmanship! Xorlh
Amcriccn.
The Harrisburg Patriot is grow
ing hysterical through fer-r of Repub
lican assaults on our new State Con
stitution, and teartully insists that
this must be made the great issue in
the coming political campaign, and
must not be clouded by controversies
ever questions of National politics,
that hare been settled. It was some
what similar fears for the safety of
the National Constitution, that in
duced the Democracy to take up
arms ia 1SC1 C2 to defend it from
Republican assaults. Such at least
were the allegations made at that
time by the rebellious democracy.
Ir the laboring men of the United
gtates could once be brought to a
clear realization of the fact that all
the dead-weight of debt and taxation
is ultimately made to rest upon their
shoulders and that the disadvantages
under which they now labor are
solely due to the changed conditions
which a large debt and heavy taxa
tion have brought into existence,
they would be the last men in the
world to listen to the delusive cry
for more money with which their
cars are beguiled. Every additional
piece of paper money thrust into their
bands is an additional evidence of
debt which thev must pav. If a
paper dollar is lost they suffer the
loss ; when it It redeemed they pay
for its redemption. As long as it ex
ists it is a badge of servitude.
The workingmen of the country
sre expected to play into the hands
of the Demooracy at the coming
election, and yet the Democratic
House of Representatives that has
just adjourned did all in its power to
make times Larder by cutting down
ppropriatiens, curtailing work on
public buildings, closing arsenals and
oavy yards, and thus throwing
thousands of workingmen out of em
ployment, making a determined ef
fort to reduce the present tariff, and
wb3 reducing the pay of the officers
of our little and hard worked army,
t the same time voting themselves
the full pecuniary profits of a long
ession, for the special session of six
weeks, necessitated by their outra
gvcrus conduct ol the previous winter.
And yet these Democratic leaders
are asking support on the ground of
being the special friends of tbe workingmen.
General Joe Johnson is urged as
a candidate for Congress in the Rich
mond (Ve.) district. The Richmond
Itifpatch favors his candidacy be
cause it believes Le is the only' men
in the dis'rict who has the requisite
talent and ability to Ell the position.
The Manchester Guardian dissents,
aid wants General Johnson to come
to the front aid answer the following
questions:

If these questions arc to bo made
an issue in the Congressional fight iu
Virginia, it will not be long until
they are a part of the national Dem
ocratic platform.
Having signally failed ia procur
ing any evidence on which to predi
cate their design of unseating the
President, the Democrats are now
endeavoring to claim credit for the
adoption of tie Burctard resolution,
declaring any attempt to assail the
Presidential title, "revolutionary."
The pliability of the average Dcm
ocratic statesmen is evidenced by
their votes in the last Congress for a
general resolution against subsidies,
and then afterwards voting for each
particular subsidy proposed. So the
Democrats who voted against any
attempt to oust Mr. Hayes, while
the Senate Hood in the wav of their
revolutionary designs, will probably,
at the next session, wben they will
have control of the Senate, vote to
unseat him. The people at the com
ing election should take particular
care not to give tbem an opportunity
to go back on their record on the
Burcbard resolution, and carry oat
their original programme on the
avowed basis of the "right of revo
lution." The only safety of the
country is in making the majority of
the next House Republican.
Hon. William II. Armstrong, of
Williarosport, wio was urged as a
candidate for Governor before the
State Convention of the National,
announces his withdrawal from the
National party, and his determina
tion to support General Hoyt and the
full Republican ticket.
He says he went before the Nation
al Convention as au advocate of the
principles of the Greenback party,
and if the wishes of the Greenback-
ers in the Convention had predomin
ated, he would have been the nom
inee for Governor. But, as it is, the
National Party is now under control
of the Communistic elements of the
State, and he cannot affiliate with
any set of men who support the
doctrines of the Commune. Mr. Arm
strong says he is aware that his with
drawal will be misconstrued, and
that he will be charged with treach
ery.but he maintains that his present
position is the only safe one for the
man who loves law and order to oc
cupy, and he will do so regaraleea el
the consequences to himself. He is
firm in the Grocaback faith, and will
go into any movement for the ad
vancement of Greenback principles;
but the platform the National Party
has adopted he can never assent to.
Alexander II. Stemies-, of Geor
gia says that he knows it was the
intention among the principal leading
Democrats of the late Congress to
vote Mr. Hayes out and Mr. Tilden
into the Presidency. He talked with
those leaders himself and fully under
stood their purposes and plans. The
back-down of the House Democrats
on the question of the President's
title he therefore looks upon as an
endorsement of his personal views
regarding the investigation.
He insisted that the Democratic
resolution for investigation, under
which the Potter committee was ap
pointed, should declare that no revo
lution was intended, or that no at
tack was to bs made on the Presi
dent's title. For this nearly every
t aper in the South condemned him,
and the Georgia Democrats threaten
ed to repudiate him as a candidate
for Congress. Now that the Demo
crats of the House have done pre
cisely what Mr. Stephens asked them
to do at first, his course has been
thoroughly vindicated and be is
quietly waiting to see the Southern
papers eat the dish of crow, which
they so unwittingly cocked for them
selves. The day may come four
or five thousand years hence when
the true character of the blustering
braggadocio, cowardly, janus-faced
Democratic politicians will be under
stood and appreciated at its true
worth by the general public. In
this case the crime consists in the
intent which they were too cowardly
to carry out, in the face of an aroused
public sentiment.
Have our readers forgotten the
Democratic bluster about economy
and reform with which the late Con
gress was ushered into existence ?
As was to be expected, the dema
gogues who roared eo loudly in the
index, have proven to be the most
reckless spendthrifts and nnscrupa
loos cozeners that ever 'controlled
National legislation. During the
long session that has just closed they
fought persistently to reduce the
army, cut down the pay of the offi
cers, pinch the clerks ia government
employ, cripple the departments by
refusing to vote necessary appropri
ations and to reduce the tariff and
the national revenue taxes, and thus
impair the sources from which gov
ernment expenses are drawn but
when it came to Southern claims, or
to appropriations for the benefit of
their immediate tronatituents tbey
voted away millions of money with
out debate or question.
Thus the River and Harbor bill,
which was put through under the
previous question, without & word of
debate, appropriates $3,361,000, the'
largest sum ever voted for these pur
poses. It was put through on the
"log-rolling" principle, each one
caring enly to know that his locality
had a sharo in the spoiU and oblivi
ons to all eke that the bill contained.
Wben Regan, of Texas, reported the
biil to the House lroni the Confer
ence committee, without a word of
explanation, the House went it
"blind' and adopted the biil, by a
vote of 150 to 93.
Democratic speakers and resolu
tion-makers throughout the country
always make a point of telling the
people that the present depression in
business, or, "hard limes," is altO'
gctber due to Republican rule, and
that when the Democrats get control
things will improve. Perhaps some
people are foolish enough to believe
this. In a speech lately made in
Congress bv Hon. Abraham S. Hew
itt, Chairman of the Democratic Na
tional Committee, on lie repeal of
the bankrupt law, we have a clear
explanation of the whole matter.
Mr. Hewitt is a strong Democrat,
but he is not a demagogue, and his
remarks contain more sound sense
than twenty stump speeches by party
leaders. He said:
"We are marching steadily and surely
liack to prosperity. We -are here tOrday
on 'hard pan.' 1 was astonished to hear
the gentleman troru Ohio Ml. Ewing
and the gentleman from Pennsylvania
Mr. Kelly propound the doctrines which
they have laid down lit' re to-day. They
seem to think that the distress in this coun
try, with the attendant shrinkage of values
is something local. Let me tell those een-
! tlemen that this condition of things exists
all our the ctnliztd globe, In ureat lirt
tain, where specie payments have not
been interrupted for a long period, there
is the same shrinkage of value. Ia France,
where specie payments have been resumed
under a scheme which has received the
unqualified approbation of these gentle
men, there is great commercial distress.
In Germany, where the sound system of
currency has never been departed from,
equal distress prevails. The business de
pression and the shrinkage of values are
not local bjt universal. Tluy are the re
action of a speculative era; and when you
hare an era of speculation, there is no
remedy but through much tribulation,
through shrinkage, through liquidation of
indebtedness, to get back to the point
w here we can bezin upon the foundation
of solid and real values and upon honest
and true monev."
The dead Congress has not accom
plished what those who entered it
buoyant with hope aud abounding
with plans expected Having a ma
jority in one branch, the Democracy
foresaw that tbey could direct and
check legislation. They imagined that
by shrewd management they could
render this power productive of great
uses to them. I hey planned to oust
the President, to capture the Cabinet,
and grap the Senate. They devised
investigations without nnmber and
commissions without limit. They in
troduced a plan to destroy the tariff;
and with a bill to effect that destruc
tion, with an investigation to remove
the President, and other purely par
tisan labor, they have spent valuable
months aud done nothing. The
rebel brigadiers would not enroll in
any scheme looking to national use;
the northern representatives dare not
uphold the extravagances that would
cost them tbeir seats and more, and the
session has teminated in disappoint
ment and sorrow. Tbey intended to
exclude polities. Politics was almost
the only thing tbey really touched.
Now they are finding before they have
returned to their homes, that their con
duct is unsatisfactory and they them
selves unpopular. Sunset Cox, shrewd
to see where partisan uses lie, has as
serted that the action of the House will
render the re-election of four-filths of
the House impossible, and the mana
gers fear worse consequences. Re
publicans never went to the people
with a strouger claim, and it is one
that must be honored when present

The United States Senate, by
vote of 32 to 22, placed its seal of
condemnation upon the President's
course in sending a Commission to
Louisiana for the purpose of over-
turning a State Government. The
Commission was sent by the Presi
aent, upon his own responsibility,
and without any authority of law
and a leading officer of the Treasury
(doubtless acting upon Mr. Sherman's
advice) persuaded a New lork bank
to advance the money for the Com
missioners' expenses, being assured
that Congress would pay it back
again. This Congress has just re
fused to do, upon the ground that the
course taken was without warrant of
law.
Leading Republicans of the Senate
were not at all chary in the language
in which they expressed their con
demnation of the President's course
in this particular, and the nnanimitv
with which tho same views are held
by the party may be seen in the fact
that the Fresideut could muster but
six Senators, elected as Republicans,
to his support, there are but two
of these whose Republicanism is un
questioned Messrs. Anthony and
Paddock. The other four are known
as the Administration Senators the
Stanley Matthews body guard who
have supported every item of the pol
icy (including the turning out of civ
il o flicer s to make way for their friends)
from the start.
Tbns, in the most emphatic man

condemned and openly censured.

Wasiii NtiTox, June 20. Congress
finally ad)oumed at 7 o clock ibis
morning. In the House the unbri
dled saturnalia that raged through
the night had almost completely
subsided at daybreak, by which time
the demonstrative members were
placed bors de combat through ex
cessive indulgence in the ardent.
The finale of the tumultuous scene
was comparatively calm, and Speak
er Randall s farewell words were lis
tentd to with respect. The best of
good humor prevailei at parting, and
the follies ot the preceding night ev
idently caused no regrets.
The Senate's la: hours were
marked by a moderate indulgence in
harmless levity and hilarity, which
consumed tie interval between 3 ami
5 a. m. Senators seemed bent upon
preventing further legislation, and
amused themselves by interposing
points of order and objections to all
attempts that were made to secure
the passing of bills. In this way
the consideration of the Post Route
b:l', which passed the House divest
ed of all objectional amendments,
and of the Letter Carriers' bill, was
prevented. At 5 A. M. the Senate
pretended to go into executive ses
sion, or tho purpose of enabling Sen
ators to enjoy a quiet nap, free from
the gaze of the public. The doors
were not opened until ten mioutes to
seven, when the Sundry Civil bill,
duly engrosEtd and signed by the
Speaker, was hurriedly presented
to the President pro tern , who im
mediately appended his sigoaiuro to
the document, and in another in
stant it received the approval cf the
President, who was in his room, in
the rear ot the Senate chamber.
The minute hand cf the Senate
clock pointed five minutes to seven
when the Clerk of the House enter
ed, bringing with Lim the three last
engrossed bills that became .laws.
One of these created a commission
to select a new and more healthy
6ite for the Naval Observatory, and
necessitated tne immediate nomina
tion of the three Commissioners.
Senator Sargent, the author of the
bill, rushed into the President's
room and presently returned with
one of Mr. Hayes' secretaries, who
announced a message from the
President. An executive session
was fortwith ordered, although only
three minutes lacked of the appoint
ed hour for adjourning. The nom
inations were confirmed without de
lay, but when the dcors were opened,
at the expiration of a few moments,
the clock had meanwhile been very
conveniently manipulated by the
Doorkeeper, so that it was now ten
minutes before seven, instead of ten
minutes past seven. An oppressive
silence prevailed in the chamber at
the time. Sleepy pages, tired clerks,
drowsy messengers, and a few wide
awake, live correspondents were
gathered arouad the desk, whilst
Senators, with their bats in their
bands, sat in their seats waiting im
patiently for the welcomo word
leasing tbem from their labors. It
was not long in coming, and ia five
minutes after Mr. Ferry's parting
speech, the Senate chamber was
empty.
President Haves and all the mem
bers of the Cabinet remained in con
stant attendance at the Capital from
8 f. m. until the adjournment, and
every bill that was presented was
considered and 6igned before the dis
solution.
1 he Democratic Backdown.
The Democrats originated the
Potter committee, and inaugurated
ihe investigation to advance the in
terests of the Democratic party. The
Democrats in Congress put them
selves on record as favoring the rev
olutionary programme marked out ia
the Potter resolution. The question
covered by this resolution was made
a party one, and the Democratic par
ty, as a party, was committed to the
line of action marked out. The step
was taken deliberately, and the ex
periment was tried. The importance
of the step as a political maneuver
must be measured by the results of
the venture.
When the Potter resolution wa3
presented in the House, the Republi
cans desired to amend so as to have
the resolution declare that no attack
on the President's title was intended.
They were not allowed to do this,
and all the other amendments look
ing to a thorough investigation were
rejected. The Democratic resolution
was adopted as offered, and the in
vestigation was inaugurated on the
Democratic plan. Two weeks have
passed, and in what a plight does this
Democratic programme leave tbe
Democratic party !
Tbe investigation Las proceeded
jost as tne Democratic managers in
sisted it should proceed. Tbe Dem
ocrats have chosen their witnesses,
and have bad access to all documents
and records. Tbey have had their
own way about everything, and yet
thev have failed to make a case, or
any show of one. This is the result
so far as the Republican party is
concerned. As to the Democratic
party, the experience of the last two
weeks leaves it in a most pitiable
plight.
It opened tbe battle as the assail
ant of the Republican party, choos
ing its own ground. In two weeks
it has been driven from every posi
tion, and now stands on the defen
sive. Denied the opportunity for
thorough investigation in the House,
the Republicans so managed as to
secure the opportunity in the Sen
ate. Failing to secure an amend
ment to the Potter resolution declar
ing that the President's title could
not be assailed, the Republicans
struck in another direction, and se
cured the adoption of a resolution
much more sweeping in its declara
tions. Two weeks ago Democratic Con
gressmen pledged themselves to a
policy that contemplated the unseat
ing of the President. Last Friday,
outflanked and demoralized, tbey vo
ted for a resolution that declares the
policy revolutionary. They went
further, and in disposing of the Blair
memorial declared that neither Con
gress, nor conrt, nor other tribunal
has poer to reverse the declaration
that the President bad been duly
elected.
At the opening of this brief cam
Daiirn the Democrats bad a united
majority in Congress: they bad ta
ken position on tbe I residential
question, in ihe reduction of the
armv. and bad entertained tbe Blair
resolution as to the illegality of the
election of President Haves. At the
end. their majority is demoralized
if not divided ; tbey have abandoned
thpir nosition on tbe Presidential
qnestion, have backed down from
their aggressive stand for army re
rln m inn and have repudiated the
revolutionary Blair resolution. AH
this has been in tbe nature of a re
treat in tbe face of an enemy.
Committed to one lire ot action,
the Democrats ia Congress have been
forced to take another, by Ucpnblic-
an strategy on public opinion. They
have been out-manopuvred and fright
enerl. and deserve little credit for
their votes on Burcbard'a resolution.
Given an opportunity by their ma
Jority to Congress to msue their
point, thev have aousea h ana lost
ground. In the language of Qeneral
Grant, tbey have filled the bucket
and kicked it over. Tbey stand be

THE WOMAN'S HOTEL,
Spite of tho efforts of its friends
who wished to 6ee Mr. Stewart's kind
intention carried out, was, as predict
ed, turned into a general hotel, on
tbe pretence that womea would not
patronize it, tor want of men's socie

coarse and shallow excuse for the
perversion cf a trust. Tho arbitrary

have given liberal support in spite of
these drawbacks, home useless mis
statements about the hotel descrvo
correction. It is reported, that it
cost $3,000,000, which carries absurdi
ty on the fact of it. Tho Grand Ho
tel in Paris, the largest and most
somptuous in the world, onlv coat
$1,000,000 to build. While the Wo
man's Hotel, though tasteful, wbj
not ia the least expensive. Its $300,

hang in the hotel as anywhere- if

Tbeie is more truth in the assertion
that the depreciated income of other

RECORDER IIACKETT's RAID
A Daniel has come to judgment in
tbe shapo of the fearless and peppery
Recorder IJacketr, who means to 6ee
whether New lork has a City Gov
ernment or not. By his direction the
Grand Jury took action on several
abuses, and fourteen Aldermen were
bewildered by indictments as if tbey
were common citizens, answerable to
the law, and under obligations to
obey it I And for what? The triv
lal offense of giving permits for street
venders to obstruct tbe passage and
traffic of tbe whole city, and making
a nice little political parqaii-ite of the
privilege. The loftv Board of Health
paid $200,000 a year to 1 . k after the

The beards of tbe venerable board
have not got over wagging with as

The centennial anniversarr celebr
tiooofthe evacuation of this place,
by tbe Continental army was calo-! 0f April, 1377, took place this morn
braled to-day under circumstances of j jQg ia the northeastern part of the
unusual display. Excursion trains : i4il vard in the presence of three bun-
began t arrive at an early hour, and
-
by 10 o'clock at least 30,000 people
bad arrived by this means and in
privata conveyances. The various
committees had their headquarters,
and wi'.h a well disciplined constabu
lary force, tbe best order prevailed.
At daylight cannons were fired and
belis were rung throughout the
Schuylkill Valley, of which this forms
apart At sunrise there was a salute
of thirteen guns fired, and at half-
past S o'clock Governor Hartranft
aud Adjutant General Laita, accom
panied by General Winfield S. Han
cock and other distinguished gentle
men arrived, and were received at
the depot by a delegation cf military.
An appropriate salute was fired by
tbe Griffia Battery, cf Pbaenixville,
and tbey proceeded to the military
headquarters, receiving lond cheers
oa their way. At 9 o'clock there
was a memorial service, ia which
large numbers toot part. A proces
sion was formed at tbe military head
quarters, consisting of military, bands
of music, civic societies and ladies
dressed in white. The graves of
Continental and Federal soldiers
were decorated, appropriate ervicea
were held, and the procession moved
over the iatreochmeots, which have
remained since the occupation cf the
place by tee Continental army, and
over the historic ground, wbicb was
strewa with lliwers by the ladies.
A grvid chorus of three hundred
voices rendered an anthem, and at
flalf-past 10 o'clock a review of the
military was held, in which there
were about two thousand soldiers;
all tbe towns ia Schuylkill Valley
beiag represented, and companies
present from Philadelphia and Wil
mington Delaware. The troops dis
played Soe drilling, and were under
command of Generals Gregg and
Reeder, and were reviewed by Gen
eral Hancock and Governor Hart
ranft.
At noon a salute of thirty-eight
guns was fired, and at 1 o'clock the
services of the day began in a large!
tent holding lo.OOO persons. Gov
ernor Hartranft, the presiding officer,
was introduced, and was received
witb tremendous cheers. He spoke
in substance as follows :
e have come to commemorate
tbe darkest hours of the Revolution
hours which were those of triumph
to tbe American cause, for it was at
Valley Forge where the brightes
honors were won by tbe Continental
army. It was here ia rude tents,
and amid a winter of tbe greatest
seventy that the brightest records of
the war were made. It is upon this
spot, balloweu by hunger and cold
that we meet to commemorate
steadfastness of cause unprecedented
in tbe annals of history.
A poem was then read by Rev
G. Walker, of Philadelphia, and aftc
tbe singing of "The American Hymn
Colonel T. W. Bean, of Norristown
read extracts from an historical pa
per which he had prepared for tbe
occasion, and a poem by Mrs. M. E
ibropp Cone was also read. I be
orator of the day, Henry Armitt
Brown, of Philadelphia, was next in
trodticed, and created great enthusi
asm by his eloquent oration. He
reviewed at length tbe history and
suffering of the Continental army,de-
hmncr tb importance of tbe cam
paign with which tbe name of Valley
forge is connected, and extolling
the excellent generalship and the on
precedented courage and steadfast
ness which crowned our ancestors
witb victory. He also paid au elo
quent t'ibute to the foreign officers in
the American camp. Lafayette, Steu

soldier, subordinating tbe military to
tbe civil power; a dictator, as mind
ful of the rights of tbe Tories as ot
tbe wrongs of tbe Whigs; a states
man commanding a revolutionary
army ; a pitnot, forgetful of nothing
but himself tbis is he whose extra
ordinary virtues only kept tbe army
from disbanding and saved bis coun
try's cause. Tbe tide of battle never
ebbed and flowed upon tbese banks.
lbese bills never trembled benealb
tbe tread of charging squadrons o r
echoed the thunders of contending
cannon. The blood that stained this
ground did not rush forth in tbe joy
ous frenzy of tbe fight. It fell drop
by drop from the heart of a suffering
people. Tbey who onco encamped
here in tbe snow, fought not for con-
tuest, not for power, not for glory,
not for their country only, not for
themselves alone. Tbey suffered here
for po&teuty, they suffered here for
the buman race, tbey bore here toe
cross ol all the people, they died here
that freedom might be tbe heritage
of all. The timo was al-
readv come when from tbese t bores
the light of a new civlization should
flash across tbe 6ea, and from this
place a voice of triumph make the
O'd World tremble, when, from her
chosen refuge in tbe West, the spirit
of liberty should go forth to meet tbe
rising sua and set the people tree."
Tbe orator s peroration besougu', tne
people of today to remember that
the inheritance ol liberty and civiliza
tion cannot bo kept safe without ex
ertion, and that a country is oenent
ed by great actions only so long as
her children are able to repeat them.
Tbe exercises closed, with a bene

ng proved a grand success, notwith
