Hopt. 2,
Tub Democracy lost balf of its
party vote in Maine, and yet its
party organs are cackling over tbe
result. The Greenbackers have
about swallowed the Democratic
party in Maine. They polled ten
thousand more votes than the old
originals.
Wk call attention to the strong
Fpcech on the finances, made by the
President in Minnesota a Jew days
since, which will be found on tbe
first page of this issue.
The unexampled decrease in the
National debt, the immense saving in
the rate of interest, the transfer of the
bulk of our obligations from Europe
to America, the restoration of our
currency to a sound basis, and all
fully dilated upon and coclusively
proven to the satisfaction of all
reasonable men. It was not a polit
ical speech, and yet it contains more
sound politics than can be found else
where in any speeches of the poli
ticians oi the dav.
Wi received, on Saturday, the
"WWlly lierlin liulletin," the new
Greenback organ, whose birth has
been for same time prognosticated.
Its typography is creditable to the
publisher; but the editor, whoever he
be, is a turgid ass, incapable of
writing or understanding plain Eag-
I ish, as w itncis tht following, to be
found in a travesty of the declaration
of Independence, that is made to do
daty for a salutatory:
"That among the auxiliaries to
"good government are politicol par-
"ties or organizations having for
"their object tbe representation and
"presentation to the incumbent of
"Seers, the wishes of tbe masses."
Just what this lucid sentence
weans, we think it would puzzle tbe
author to explain ; but bere is anoth
er equally transparent gem :
"All experience has shown that
"mankind is more disposed to suffer
"insufferable evils than ta improve
"their condition by relaxing their po
litical prejudices."
Exactly how men contrive to "suf
fer insufferable evils" we cannot
comprehend, nor have we time to in
quire, and we close our present no
tice of the new aspirant for public
favor by copying the second clause
of its indictment of the Republican
rarty:
"2 The civil war, which was ne
"ees3ary to the establishment of Na
"lional Authority, and the abolution
"of slavery, created a number of of
' ficea, and leaving after the war a
"hoard of Lungry officers out of cm
"ployujcnt, to maintain whose favor
"the party thought they must sup-
"port, and hence new offices were
"created in the civil department."
We are sorry that intelligent men
as we presume those are who have
undertaken to establish a new party
and party organ in our midst did
Dot procure some one to manage the
flatter who could write intelligible
English.

Friday Iw-t, to the jv
public record of Hou. A. Jl. CcITroth
as an Attorney at Law and Mombcr
of Congress, lathis review, if it
may so be called, the Trihune makes
no assault on the personal charac
ter or private actions of Mr. Coffroth,
but confines itself strictly to bis pub
lic and official career, which it has
gathered frcm the records of the
Courts and of Congress. The array
of Lis tergiversations and offidal mis
deeds is a most crushing and formi
dable one, and shows :
I. How Mr. Coffroth di?posed of a
Naval Cadelship to parties that did
not belong to his district.
II. How Le became involved in
an unsavory euit with an Attorney
named Lilly, of Washington, D. C,
which culminated in hid (Coffroth's)
narrowly escaping being stricken
from the roll ,of Attorneys at this
bar.
III. The curious and sinuous re
cord made by him in Congress on tbe
XUIth Amendment, whereby slavery
was abolished.
IV. How Le spoke against the
XUIth Amendment ; bow bespoke
for it, and voted for it; and then tbe
next day wrote a letter to Jchn Pal
mer of Bedford, (which we published
last week) in which he proclaimed
that the war would go on with more
fierceness ; that subjugation was out
of the question ; that we would ta
forced to recognize tho South, cr give
them explicit guarantees in the Con
stitution ; that he teas ready to do no;
that be would vote to-morrow (Feb
ruary 5, 1SC5) for an amendment to
the Constitution, recognizing slavery,
and making it a capital offence, i. c ,
punishable with death, to inter f re
with it.
Y. How he fared when he sued
two exempt conscripts for services
rendered in getting them out of the
draft ; in pursuing them too far he
almost fell into the clutcbB of the
law himself.
YI. His successful effori U get aa
increase of pay for the term he did not
belong in Congress ; said increase of
pay having been voted by Congress
men to themselves after he was ous
ted. YII. The servile manner in which
he cringed at the heels of his South
ern masters as shown by his votes
on Southern questions.
YIII. His record on the Tariff
question.
IX. His record, or rather lack of
record on the currency question,
showing that be successfully master
ed the problem, ''How not to do
it."
X. How he missed the opportuni
ty for "The greatest effjrt of his
life" when he did not vote on the
eight hour question.
This prescntalioa of Mr. Coffroth's
public record is a most damaging one,
and as a candidate for public favor,
he must face the music Silence will
be taken as a confession, as an ad
mission of the truth of the charges.
So stand up General I and plead to
the indictment. Guilty or not
guilty f
The returns from tho Maine elec
tion election, held last week show
that, although the Republicans are
largely in the majority, they have
probably lost their Governor, State
officers, and two members of Con
gress. According to the law of that
State a majority of the whole number
of votes cast is reqjired to elect, anr
thus Connor, (Rep.) for Governor,
who has over 58,000 votes is not
elected, because Garcelon (Green
back) polls 23,000, and Smith, (Dem.)
37,000. Another peculiarity of the
law is, that where no election is
made by the popular vote, or in
other words, where no candidate
has a clear majority of all the votes
cast, the Legislature elects State
officers by the joint ballot of both
houses, but in the case cf Governor
the lower House sends up to the
Senate the names of two only cf tie
candidates voted for by the people,
and from those two the Senate mutt
elect the Governor.
In this case the coalition of Green
backers and Democrats Las elected
a majority to the House; of course i
will send to the Republican Senate
tbe names of the candidates of the
two minority parties, and thus the
Senate will be constrained to elect
one of thcin Governor, although
Connor (Rep.) comes within a few
thousand votes of doubling their joint
vote. It is probable that in this con
tingency, the Senate will elect the
Democrat because be is in favor of
honest money, and thus for the first
time in many years Maine will have
a Democratic Governor.
Tbe Republicans having a majority
of 11 in the Senate, will probably
have a majority on joint ballot when
bith Houses assemble, and will thus
be enabled to elect the other S'ate
officers.
Of the Congressmen, Reed (Rep.)
is elected in the First District by
4,300 plurality ; Frye (Rep.) ia the
Second, by 3,000; Lindsay in tbe
Third, by 3,000; Ladd (Democrat
Greenback) in the Fourth, by 2,500;
while tbe Fifth district is still in
doubt with the chances against Hale,
(Rep).
Thus ft will be seen that in Maine
while the Greenbackers have captur
ed and s allowed tbe Democracy,
they have at the same time indicted
a serious blow on tbe Republican
party.
In 1876 Hayes polled, in round
numbers CC.000; Tilden 59,000;
Cooper CC2 votes, and a comparison
with the present vote shows the Re
publicans to have lost 8,000, the
Democrats 21,000 ; and the Green
backers have gained over 36,000 plu
rality from tbe Democratic party.
Tbe days of tbe Democracy ore ar-p-irently
numbered in Maine.

Ye?, and it might have added that
there are canning knvcs, operating
with, and claiming to be Greenback
ers, who expect to unload their debts
by paying dollars with half dollars,
when greenbacks get cheap as they
did during the war. These are tho
fellows wild speculators and bank
rupts that are blowing up tbe
greenback inflation bubble, and who
will be the Erst to forsake it when
tbev Lave unloaded. Those dollars
that go up and down, are what tbe
speculators want. It was the "change
of values," caused by the present
amount of greenbacks being made
equal with gold, that sent the specu
lators into bankruptcy. That's why
they howl against resumption of
rpecie payments,
American cheese is a great article
of export Only a few years ago its
exportation was begun, and now we
are sending more than a hundred
million Dounds a vear abroad. This
has only become possible by improv
iug the quality, so that it is even bet
ter thao that which we used to
import
The dollar of tbe laborer is to-day
worth ninety-nine and three-quarter
cents io gold. In a few months, by
the resumption policy if the Repub
lican party, it will bo made worth
one hundred cents. It is tho pur
pose of the Democratic party, by the
repeal of the Resumption law end
the wildest inflation, to make the
laborer take for bis wocca an lrre-
deemRblj rag that will buy Ies3 than
Cf;y cents worth cf flour or fuel.
Si eer, the Chairman of the Demo
cratic Committee in this btate is
sloshing round generally, and making
dirty little speeches wilheut much
retard aa to whom he hits. In his
anxiety to make a point against the
extravagance of the last Legislature,
he, ia a speech made at McConnelU
burg a few days since declared among
other things: "Tho bill is $25,350
for postago. This would pay the
postage cn 845,000 letters, which
would be an average of about o3GC
letters to each member, as tho session
continued 144 days (including ad
journments, each member to use his
j j ,
postage would have to write daily
232 letters." Now Mr. Dill was
member of that Legislature, and we
presume, since be not replied to the
charge, that he cither wrote 33CC
during the session, or pocketed bis
hundred dollars fjr postage like a
little man. If he did really write
23' letters per day for 141 consecu
tive days, Le can reEt assured he will
never be President, or even Gov
ernor.
It is not a little interesting to note
how the Democrats and Greenback
crs all over tho country are striking
hands, and, like tho lion and the
lamb, lying down together, the one
inside the belly of the other. In
Massachusetts the Greenbackers have
nominated bold Ben Batler for Gov
ernor, and the Democracy of Boston
meekly accept the situation, and have
instructed their delegates to the State
Convention to vote for Beojamia as
their choice. There eppeara to be
but little doubt that he will be tbe
nominee of both parties, aud thus as
in Maine the Democracy will be
swallowed op by the new party
All over the country the Democracy
is being captured by,the Greenback
ers, and the latter promises to be the
only formidable enemy cf the Re
publicans in the next Presidential
election. So thoroughly ha9 the
Democratic party been drained, that
it virtually confesses that its only
hope consists in being able to make
terms with the Grecnbackers.
The Republican party came into
power in this State in 1800, after a
long reign of Democracy. Tbe State
wa3 $10,000,000 ia debt; a terrible
civil war hung over the nation, and
burst in all its fury upon us in a fow
month?, encouraged and precipitated
bv the Democratic partv. For five
years it raged, sweeping out cf ex
istence thousands of our citizens and
millions of money, and imposing
milHous more iu burdens upon the
people. Tee Republican party car
ried the State and country through.
The $10,000,000 Democratic legacy
is reduced to $0,000,000. Tbe im
mouse war claims and care of maim
ed soldiers and destitute victims
hare been or are still being paid.
Tbe grand eld party baa done the
work, and all the while developed
the mineral, agricultural and other
interests of the State more rapidly
than ever before. The people of the
State, we are sure, will trust the
party to do more.
The is a lively row among the
Democrats of the Twenty-first Con
gressional District over their Con
gressiona! nomination. The Fayttte
County conferees refused to go into
convention on the ground that the
nomination had been corruptly bar
gained for and arranged beforehand,
and it looks very much as if tholr al
legation was well founded, as the con
ferees of Westmoreland and Greene
placed in nomination Morgan Wise,
Esq , of the latter county, formerly a
member of the Legislature, said to
be a regularly corrupt roos'.er, who
among other little eccentricities Bold
a "Free Pass" given him as a mem
ber over the Pennsylvania railroad.
The Fayette County committee, by a
vote of 15 to 5, have refused to be
bound by such a nomination, and the
Westmoreland Arqus the oldest
and stauuehest Democratic paper cf
that county also refuses to support
such a candidate. There is music in
the air, and an unhappy time gener
ally, among our Democratic friends
over tbe hilL :
Wiiev the greenback was abso-
liiU-lr nrceessary to f-ave the life cf
the Republic, Democracy declared it
a fraud, a printed lie an J a violation
of the Constitution. When it bad
furnished the means to conquer the
rebellion, Democracy declared that it
should be repudiated; that it was
the tool of the monopolist and t p:ca-
I&tor, thai it would go the way of the
old Continental scrip, end would
carry the fchinplaster party with it.
When its redemption becomea neces
sary, and a protection to the honor
and plhrhted faith cf tho nation,
Democracy declares it shall not bo
redeemed ; that it is the best money
on tbe globe ; that we mu3tbave more
of it, and submit to its "absolute"
rule ia'finaocial circles, without any
guarantee of its value or redemption.
When the greenback is made as good
as gold, and circulates on a par with
it, what will the Democracy do then ?
Will they cry for the abolition of
gold?
The Hon. A. II. Coffroth, Demo
cratic candidate for Congress in the
Seventeenth Pennsylvania district,
now represented by tho Hon. Jacob
M. Campbell, bas bad a blister put
upon him, within the last few days,
which will not beat up during the
present canvass. He was a mem
ber of Congress ia 1SG5, and in or
der to keep his seat, as against the
rightful claimant, Gen. Koontz, vot
ed for the Thirteenth Amendment.
But when called to account by bis
Copperhead constituents, he wrote a
private letter under date cf Febru
ary 4th, 1SC5, explaining his mo
tives in voting as he did. Tnis let
ter has been published, and it plac
es Mr. Coffroth in a most pitiable
condition belore the people of bis
own district. We give a few ex
tracts: "Time will justify me. In a
short period thoso who now abuse
will be loudest in their praise. To
kill our opponents wo must remove
the question of tlavery from the po
litical crena. It is now out of the
way as far a3 our State is concerned
and next fail we will achieve a
splendid victory. The wisdom cf
my course ia already being seen.
Old Abe has returued from Lis con
ference without accomplishing any
thing. They would not come back
under the Constitution, but demand
ed recognition cr further guarantees.
The war will go on with more fierce
nees than ever. Subjugation is out
of the question. Tho South never
can ba subjugated. We will be
forced to recognize tbem or give them
explicit guarantees in the Constitu
tion. Our people will soon bo wil
ling to give them such guarantees
as they desire. I am ready now to
do so, I would vote to-morrow for
an amendment to tho Constitution
recognizing slavery in tho Constitu
tion, and making it a capital punish
ment to interfere with it. This can
not be dune until fanaticism is dead,
and we once more get tho power.
These ara viows but few agreo with
at this time so keep thera to your
self or such friends as you can trut."
How any honest, sincere, conscien
tious voter can support a man who
thus puts upon record his own iuta
my, is a question for the Democrats
of that district to decide. We do
not know how many letters Mr. Cof
froth bas written, but certain it if be
ba3 written one too many. rills
burij Commercial.
Tbe Peril.
The rebel claims now before Con
gress aggregate about $200,000,000.
These are of a character not barred
bv the Constitutional amendments,
and are subject to the action of Con
eress, without appeal to anv other
tribunal.
Tbe Inter Ocean ventures the pre
diction that the advent of a Demo
cratic majority in both houses of
Congress will signalizj the openin
of legislation which will result in tbe
payment of these claims. And when
once the gate is opened the amount
named will prove but the beginning
of the flood. Then will come the ag
gregation for the payment of slaves,
tbe pensioning of rtbel soldiers, etc.,
etc., until our own uebt will be lost
sight of in the magnitude of this raid
upon the public treasury.
Do our readers appreciate the dan
gers of this movement: It is nut a
secret by any means, though frank
avowals of the design are suppressed
by the leaders of the Democratic par
ty S3 far 83 possible. They camot
prevent the less discreet members of
their party from speaking out, how
ever, and so we nave troni numerous
Southern sources the open confession
that this is to be the object tf their
political ascendency, and that "con
cihation can only come through tue
rccornition of their claims by the
North."
We do not believe, bv any means,
that every Democratic meinbsr of
Congress will support such a raid
Neither are wo sure that erery Re
publican will stand firm ia the midst
of temptation la opposition to sued
claims. But, as a rule, we can de-
pend'upon the latter to vo'c steadily
and persistently against tbe scheme,
while, unfortunately, tho former, ow
ing to party association and tue ne
cessity of "harmony," can not ba
counted on to resist the majority of
their own party associates, ifae op
ening will be insignificant; some min
or claim will be denominated jut.
the claimant loyal, and tho amount
demanded will be small. Itiis sus
cessful, the preaoiioijt established, and
the work will begia in earnest. And
t is not alono from party discipline
that we may fear danger. Think of
a $200,000,000 claim before Congress,
and the opportunities given for cor
runtion in the handling of such a stu
pendous sum ! It is a scheme to be
watched and euarded against on ve-
rr side. We advise tbe people of
e very Congressional district to put the
question of supporting or opposing
such claims Euarely to all of their
candidates, and exact tbe most posi
tive pledges from them on tfcjs very
point:
"Do you promise to aci arm vote
throughout your torru against the
payment of any Southern claim grow
ing out of the war now barred by the
laws?"
This question, cr its sub:tance,
should be addressed to every candi
date of whatever party, and a positira
answer reqabed.
The South has everunmg to ugnt

Success means, at least, the tempora

The Philadelphia Times of Satur
day baa an interview with Col.
laay, Secretary of tho Republican
Ltate Executive Committee, on the
"News from Maine."
"Tho result in Maine," began Mr.
Quay, "is a Democratic defeat We
gain five thousand votes, and the
Democrats lose twenty -four thousand.
Any observant man who chooses to
regard Maine as a political finger
board must see, therefore, that it ia-
di:atiB a plurality for Hcyt of atleait
one nunarea tbcusand. It tbe Dem
ocrats can get any comfort out of
that, let them enjoy it.
"You would know the cause of
this revolution in the East? Tho
overthrow of your opponents there
is but a natural beginning of tbe
winding-up chapter cf tho debauched
career of Democracy, which began
in 1S08, with Pendleton's theory
that greenbacks were a legal tender
for all oblige t:ons of tbe government
to the paoplo and of the people to
the Government. They started up
on that theory and clung to it, finally
adopting at Erie, ia 1875, a platform
simiiar to that more recently built
up by the National party. For years
the tendency of the Democratic party
has been toward the National goal
and it's approaching it rapidly.
"Concerning opinions that have
been publicly expressed, with the re
sult ia Maine as their basis, declaring
that tbe Republican party is to be de
stroyed, we are happy to say that we
can profitably bear the brunt of all
luat fcina ot destruction, ltiere is
no law in Pennsylvania, as tbero is
ia Maiae, to throw the duty of choos
ing a Governor into the Legislature,
when the leading candidate lacks a
majority of ail the votes cast, which
is the case with Connor. Therefore,
even though this revolution should
extend into Pennsylvania, and with
the same force which it extended in
to Maine, Uoyt would still be elect
cd by tbe large plurality indicated
by the Maine Gnger-board, as tbe
law of Pennsylvania does not re
quire a candidate to have a majority
of the vote3 iu order to bo elected."
'With results here proportionate
to tbosa in .Maine," ia.erposed Mr.
Mackey, who sat clone by, "Mason
would beat Dill, and Hoyt would be
elected by ona hundred thousand plu
rality." '
"Yes." added Mr. Quay, "and let
me go further. Even with the ex
isteuce ia this State of a law requir
ing a majority of votes, and tbe ref
erence cf a plurality case to the Leg
islature, we would still be certain of
Hoyt's election, because we are F.ure
we will have a majority in both the
llouso and the Senate. But I do
not at all expect that the Greenback
vote ia this Siata will be as propor
tionately largd as it was ia Maine,
where i amounted to about thirty-
five thousand, or over one-fourth cf
the aggregate vote, w hich was about
one hundred and twenty thousand.
Here the Nationals mav reach one-
fifth of the total vote, but I don't
thiuk that tbfy- will exceed thst fig
ure. "It is a mistake to suppose that
the character of the Maine election
was totally uaforesec n. The Repub
licans of that St a to knew that tbey
must be affected somewhat by the
crash w hich tbe Democracy bad been
inviting to come upon itself, but tbey
could not clearly foresee the extent
cf the probable ii jury, because, not
bavin&r access to the proper sources
of information, they were not fallv
able to judge aa to what might be
tho nature of tbe National inroad in
to tt8 ranks of tbe Democracy. To
put the thine in a nut-sbell the
Greenback movement is engaged ia
the work of annihilating the Democ
racy, and, at the present rate of
working, will succeed, without seri
ously injuring the pirtv that is devo
ted to tbe best in'.ereJts of the whole
people."
A I'laaee Into a Cataract.
Dingmas's Ferry, Pesxa., Sept.
10. Dusbkill, a popular summer re
sort for New York, Philadelphia,
Boston and Brooklyn people, is beau
tifully situated on the Pennsylvania
bank of the Delaware liver. Thir
teen miles iroin ttiis place, witnin a
circle of a few mill's, nro numerous
watct falls and cataracts, tbe most
prominent among them beiag the
Big Bushkill Fall, situatji ia tho
mountains, two miles northwest of
the village, on the Bushkill creek.
For this citaract, Mr. George Comp
ton, proprietor of tbe maimer boarding-house
uear the Delaware Water
Gap, accompanied by Lta ife. daugh
ter en J several rjestB, started, on Sat
urday morning aat. Reaching the
Bushkill, the party set out on foot
for a tour of iustit';ioa. Having vis

the BusLkill Falls were sought
Arriving at the cataract, the par
ty separated, some giio further tip

daughter-,the Utter a beautiful and
accomplished vounsr lady and one
other gentleman stopped near the
bead of the falls to rest. While rest

mother, nlmout wild with grief,
wrung her hand4, and was ouly pre

accompanied them. While tbe lat

falls, to find his unfortunate child

after a desperate stirjjgle succeeded
ia rescuing her. A physician was
immediately summoned, woo pro
