The Somerset Herald. EDWARD BCTJLL. Editor and Proprietor. WEDNESDAY... ..NOTEMBEB 4. V. Thk Sunremc Court of this State Las decided that it is no violation of existing laws to U t ou the result of primary flection. Hie next legis lature, we presume, will widen the ecope of the present law forbidding beltine on elections, so aa to embrace the. primaries. Well the election is over, and the 1'ommcm'nl now knows bow bhdly it hag been knocked out. TLe bitterest drop in its cup will be. that all hs lying about Barron and the Poor House Directors went for noth ing. It muft be dreadfully wearing on the constitution to lie persistant ly for monthB.as the Commercial has been doing, and find when the elec tion is over that there is nothing but defeat to show for it. Perhaps that journal will learn some day that a campaign of defamation never pays. I.v the death of General McClellan the country loses another of the few remaining conspicuous characters of the late war. There has been much difference of opinion as to bis capa bility to command and handle a larg- army in the field, but the se verest of his critics never called in Ution Lis purity of character and high ideas of loyalty and patriotism. He was honored and beloved by all the men, in whatever grade, who nerved under him, and the political party to which he was attached cher ished him as one of its most worthy sons, and sought to bestow upon him its choicest gifts. Asa soldier and a citizen be stood anion those in whom his country took just pride, and cow that he has answered the last roll call, his memory will be kindly cherished as one of the prom inent actors in trie Burring scent following the rebellion of the South cm States. Well, we will have to lot tlie old man of the Herald he about the cota till election. Jt ii hid Ut hol.L The truth of the matter in the costs have already been paid in rrery roue into the hands of their attorneys, and Mr. Hnyder, who wai here yesterday, de clares if the witnesses and others interested re not aid by Adjourned court, he will re open th-m. convict every mother's sou of them Ilenemher term and have tbem ejected from ollice. Nam. hnydcr has his dutch up and will do what he says, as the result of the! llrtnhl' jieraintenl lying. MntmInlr Here is richness, here is juciness, here is magisterial wisdom and pow er! !rent Jerusalem! think of it. Constable Snyder, Samuel P. Sny der in the role of the Mikado. "Mi kado Sam" reopening the cases and without intervention of Judge or Jury convicting men who have been found -Vrf 0'iilhj by a jury of their peers. Ha, ha, ha! Won't somebody hold our hat while we laugh ? Fan cy the huge Mikado waddling into court and in the presence of the Judges and the assembled multi tudes "opening them cases?" Ha, ha, ha! Here is fun, galore! "opening them cases'' convicting every moth er's son of them, and ejecting th em from office. "Holy mother of Moses" eave us from "Sam. Snyder with his dutch up" Ha, ha, ha! But seriously, does not this inile cile, this thrice eodden fool, this apt pupil of Annanias, this preacher of law and reform know that no power in Christendom, no court on earth can reopen and re-try a criminal case rter a verdict of "Not Guilty" has been rendered. If he does not know it he ought to go back to his A B C's, instead of setting up as a teach , and leader of public opinion it is simple justice to Snyder to say, we don't believe he told such a lie and made ench a dolt of himself. He knows that the 'costs hare vol fWv jxiid into the hands of the t torney'g and if he dos'nt know that the cases cannot be) reopened, he at least knows that he has no power to do it We rather incline to the be lief that the Commercial man is try to get even with him for exposing under oath, his unauthorized use of his name in his becging circulars, and inrents the story for that pur pose. But if Snyder did make any euch decoration, he only evidenad the fact that like the sapient editor of the Com m-rciul, he carries his brains in the teat of his trowsers. The election is over, and it can no longer be falsely alleged that the etateuients regarding the course of the Weyensdale CommcrciaJ in regard to the Poor House prosecutions, the cost which have been saddled upon the taxpayers of the county by these prosecutions, and the general betray al of th candidates and cause of the Republican party by that journal, are made sol. ly for the purpose of affecting the interests of candidates before the people. We therefore aLgain call the attention of the reput able citizens of the county to the following statements and allegations. founded upon the public records of the county, and taken from the files of that paper. We allege and be-! lieve, that a dispassionate review of the course of that paper for some time st, will satisfy any unprejudiced; niod that its editor was instigated, 1 tnot iy a desire to conserve the in terests W the public, not by a hope f lessen the burthen of taxation, not by a determination to have restored to the treasury the money llegei to be Dlegally iaken there tfrom,bnl4f a devilish malicecnper added to a desire to put money ia Sr.. own pocket by inducing the tax payees to believe that he stood as a barrier between them andtU official pilferers oT the county treasury, &nd that his paper was their sole advo cate, and their only protector from gang of thieves intrenched in pub lic office. ! grace npon the county abroad, and j smirched her hitherto fiiir fame by , falsely and persistently charging that the Poor Directors have Etolen j some 2,000 of tne public funds;! well knowing that his allegations were not true. He caused to be instituted seven teen criminal prosecutions against the Directors, the Steward, and the county Auditors, when he knew that bv this course not a single pen-; ny of the alleged stolen funds could bt restored to the county treasury. He has been the means of sad dling a large amount of costs upon the county by reason of these pros ecutions, and yet he has persistent ly, wilfully and knowingly lied, and lied, and tried to deceive the people by asserting that in every case the defendants were liable for the costs. He has failed to procure a convic tion in a single one of these cases, the verdicts in every one of them being "Xot Guilty." He has, it is true, had his malice gratified by having costs imposed upon the defendants in some of these cases, but this has in no way bene fitted the taxpayers, or helped to save or regain them any money. He has pursued these Directors the latchets of whose shoes he is not worthy to unloose with a ven om, a vindictiveness, a flood of def amation that is shocking and unpar alelled for brutality. lie has posed as a reformer and a guardian of the county funds, and yet he attempted, by suit, to force from the County Commissioners payment of a bill, to which he was neither morally nor legally entitled. He demanded and accepted pay ment from the Chairman of the Re publican County Committee for ad vertising, which be over and over again announced through bis paper he was doing for nothing. He presented to the Chairman and was paid a bill of 19 for pub lishing the names of the Republican county candidates in his paper dur ing the campaign, and yet long be fore it was closed be violated his j contract, threw out their names, and 6till retains the money which he did not earn. He elected to prist the Republi can tickets in 1 SSI, and was paid for it He placed over a irtwn oi tne Judicial ticket a caption which de- siroyea iw iegumy. ronuunicij i this was discovered before many of them were distributed : the whole batch was destioyed, and a new set printed by the Hekai.u. He carried the entire Republican ticket at the head of his paper dur ing that same campaign, but at the same time worked for, md it is be lieved voted, the Democratic judic ial ticket, thus giving ground for the suspicion that the wistnle in print ing that ticket was designed. He deserted the Republican party in 1S82, helped to form a separate county organization, repudiated and denounced the regularly nominated State, district, and county tickets, boasted that the regular Republican party in the county was overthrown, and gave all his energy and his tal ent for lying, to fasten upon this Re publican State its present Democrat ic rulers. He took down the Republican county ticket in the midst of the late campaign, advocated the regular Democratic nominee rbr Poor House Director, and covered with a stream of calumny, falsehood and traduc tion the Republican candidate, clinging at the same time to the money he demanded for supporting him. He maliciously, meaniy and ecur vily obtained from the records and published the indebtedness of Mr. Barron, showing thereby that no citizen's private affairs are safe from his mean and prying eye, or to be considered safe from public com ment. He has twice openly deserted the Republican ranks and gone over to the enemy, and whiningly complains of attempts to "read him out of the party.' He filled hia paper with the vilest charges against the Directors and Auditors before their trial, thus try ing to create a feeling azainst them among the people from whom the jurors were to be selected. He has' slandered and maligned the Grand Jury serving at the last May term by charging that they were "swooped down" upon and in duced to report in favor of a new jail. To men of character, acting under the solemnity of their oaths. a grosser insult could not be given or a baser libel uttered. He openly boasU that he influ enced, if he did not actually control, the last Grand Jury in their finding against a new jail, thus placing them in the position of being controlled by his appeals to their pockets, in stead of their oaths. He has thus made his paper a sewer of defamation, malice, and vilification of the citizens of the county, atid a machine with which to disrupt and disorganize the Re publican parly and betray its can didates. It is not a pleasant task for the Herald to thus unmask and pub licly arraign one who is masquerade iDg in their midst as a reformer and, conerrator of public morality, but we conceiv it to be as much a duty as if we bad discovered a wolf among their flocks. 4.n4 having thus pilloried the graceless eneak, ire recall to the recollection of Repub licans the old story of the peasant who warmed the dder into life in tie bosom, which eventually stung him toieath. They must set their heel upon the Ued oi this reptile or they will meet the same fee. The'.CotMmrrr-ial boasted that Bar. roa wouJd cot carry five townships.

Yesterday was one of the most in clement election days within our recollection.

Within the memory of the oldest cit izens, no such campaign of defama tion and bold, downright falsehood was ever before witnessed in this county. It has signally tailed, how ever, and the rebuke administered to those who attempted to wreck the party organization, and trail the old Republican nag in the rear of a Democratic procession, is most scath ing.

During several weeks past thee has been much speculation in the minds of New Yorkers as to whether General Grant's body would remain in New York or be removed from the State. In order to make sure about the matter the Grant Monu ment Association decided to take ac tion, on the 16th inst. Mayor Grace, its Vice President, wrote a letter to Mrs. Grant asking her to make a definite and positive statement on the subject, to be given to the pub lic. Her reply is appended : New York, Oct 20. Dear Sir : Your letter of the 16th came during my absence and was received on my return from Long Branch. Riverside was selected by myself and my family as the burial place of my husband.General Grant. First, Because I believed New York was his preference : Sewn!, It is near the residence that I hope to occupy as long as I live, and where I will be able to visit his resting place often ; Tliiril, I have believed, and am now convinced, that his tomb will beyisitedby as many of his country men her) $8 ; would be at any other place; and, " Fourth, The offer of a park in' New York was accepted on the only condition imjmsed by General Grant himself, namely; that should have a place by his side. i I am, very respectfully, !

THE DEAD SOLDIER.! Preparation for the Funeral on Mon . day. By n own Kepneal There WMI be no More Dmplaythan at t lie Funeral of simple Citizen. New York, Oct. 30. Arrange ments for the funeral of General George B. McClellan were nearly completed to-day. The body of the dead General, with the family and relations, will remain in Orange till Sunday afternoon, when they will be brought to this city. The Gener al's body will be taken directly to the Madison bquare i'resbyterian Church, where simple service will be held on Manday at 10 a. m. The Rev. Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst, Pastor the church, will officiate and will probably be assisted by the Rev. Dr. John R. Pax ton, of the West Presbyterian Church, himself a vet eran in the Army of the Patomac. By General McClellan's own wish, expressed within the last few weeks to his wile, no eulogy win De aenv ered at the church. "I desire to be buried with no more display than as a simple citizen," were his words. Consequently no military honors will be extended to the dea'd soldier. Immediately after the ceremony at the church the body will be taken in a special car, offered by the Penn sylvania Railroad Company, to Trenton, where interment will take place in the family lot on Monday afternoon. No services will be held at the house in Orange. The pall bearers will General W. B. Franklin, of Uartiord; Major General V. S. Hancock, Major General Fitz John Porter, General James E. Johnson, General Martin T. Mcllone, William C. Brime, Thatcher M. Adams, fc. L. M. Barlow. Col. Edward 11. Wrightl and Henry C.Kelsey. Veterans who had fought under the dead General are invited to uttend the funeral but not in anv military capacity. Gov ernor Abbott issued a proclamation to the people of New Jersey to-day, directing that on the day of the fu neral all the public buildings be draped in mourning, flags placed at halt mast oibcers oi the "National Guard wear the. usual badge of mourning for six mouths and that all the regimental and battaliion colors be draped for the same per iod, and that on the day of the fu neral a general salute be ured, and that all public offices be closed. Al so earnestly request our citizens to aesistiromall worldly emploi'ments and devote the day to appropriate religious services and such demon strations of sorrow and respect as are fitting to the occasion and mem ory of the illustrious deid. A Female Burglar Captured. Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 27. A little more than a month ago eiu'ht or ten burglaries were committed in this city,each case showing evidence that the perpetrators were adept in their business. In comparatively few cases was the amount of booty secured large, but all the plans were so well arranged that no traces of the robbers sufficient to lead to identi fication or capture were difcovered. The burglars finally ceased, and all indicatons pointed to the probabili ty that the robbers had lefi this part of the country. Bast night the in mates of a house in the most fash ionable part of the city were aroused by the accidental breaking of some object by some one moving about the house. Immediate search was made and it was discovered that a robbery was committed. A person supposed to be a man in female dress, was seen leaving the grounds. Pursuit was given, but proved inef fectual. Notice was than given to the police and dttectives were sent out on the search. In less than two hourse the officers brought in a wo man on whose person, when captur ed, was found a part of the article stolen from the house from which the alarm had so lately been given to the police. The woman proved to be a Mrs. O'Connell, a resident of this place, but little is known concerning her by the police. Her husband, Jerry O'Connell, is a telegraph operator, and is now serving a term in the House of Correction for some petty crime. 1 ne belief ol the police au thorities is that the woman commit ted the burglarits which took place in this city a month ago. Manejr Along t he Trt ti. Newmtrg, N. Y., Oct. 27. Goshen is nivstiSed over the finding of a con siderable sum of mpney at that Or ange County village. baturday morning a young woman employed as a servant was taking a walk along the Erie Railroad track, east of the village, when she came aenss sever al greenbacks. She picked them up and kent on finding more until she had in all over ?G(X) in a tood state j of preservation. At a later hour on the same day gome trackmen came across more bills, they searched until nearly 82,00) had been picked up in tha vicinity. Most of the lat ter bills were of $50 and 1100 denom ination, and the larger part of them were torn directly through the mid dle. The money was taken to one ol the G&shen banks, whefe it was successfully patohed up. Other par ties found bank bills aion? the track near Goshen the same day sufficient to bring the total amount found up to nearly $4,000. It is thought that some bank burglar had been riding through Goshen on an Lne train- during the nijrht previous wjth a quantity of "swag," and fei.ring that he was closely pressed by ollicera, had thrown the money from a win dow. If such be the case, the won der is why he tore up some of the hWU. At arjy rate, several Goshen people aru at ieast temporarily richer than they were a fw days ago. PrlMtaad HlKtaway ina.

Among the animals on exhibition at the new Grand Street museuinin Brooklyn are a large elephant, which formerly belonged to Coupe's Circus, and a magnificent lion which, for some time, has occupied a cage adjoining that of the elephant The fcet that the lion had already killed two keep ers in as many years had caused the proprietors to construct a cage which they considered much stronger than any of theotners. The elephant never seemed to like his black-maB-ed companiou and often evinced his dislike by putting his trunk through the iron bars of the cage and literally following Representa tive Richelieu Robinson's advice by twisting the latter's tail. Karly on Wednesday evening the elephant repeated this performance several times, ana tne managers iear ed that he meant mischief. When the exhibition was closed the ele phant was removed to another part of the building, where the lion could not be seen. Keeper George Good win remained after the gas was shut off, quietly smoking a cigar. Sud denly he was startled by the clank ing of chains on the lower floor, and hurrying down stairs he found that the elephant had snapped the chain that held him and was carrying on just as he pleased. He was trying to batter down the bars of the lion's cage. In the dim light Keeper Goodwin could see the crouching form and glaring eyes of the lion as he sprang forward against the bars. He had seized the trunk of his adversary and a fierce fight ensued. The lion suddenly released his hold and the elephant quickly caught his opponent's leg and was trying to pull him out of the cage. Seizing his sharp steel hook, Good win sprang forward and succeeded in forcing him back from the cage. Another keeper rushed at the cage to beat back the lion. The great brute on the outside was not, how ever, to be easily subdued. With a powerful lunge he again dashed his massive weight against the bars. Keeper Goodwin was thrown down and badly bruised, but, seizing his prong again, he forced it into the el ephant's jaw, which 60 enraged the animal that it at once turned upon the keeper, who with difficulty es caped bevond his reach. The elephant was finally secured with ropes and chains, but not be fore both his tusks had been broken and his trunk and head severely lacerated. The lion's leg U thoupht to be broken, and he lay bleeding and unable to stir all day. Goodwin is confined at home from the bruises which cover h's whole bod v. A Highwayman Killed. Omaha. Oct. 30. During the past month "Bob Tail" street cars have been robbed in the. outskirts of Omaha, twelve or thirteen times by a solitary highwayman, who on each occassion has covered the driver with his revolver, and made him hand over his cash-box, usually con taining 15 in change. Wednesday nigiu ii. e nignwayman rooueu a driver in North Omaha, although the car was full of passengers. The robber covered the car with his re volver and backed into the darkness, making his escape. Last night he attempted a similar robbery in the same locality, but the driver.instead of handing over the cash-box, as he had been ordered to, pulled a revol ver and the two men fired simul taniously missing each other. The robber then fled, pausing at the edge of the sidewalk to fire another shot at the driver, who then fired twice, killing his assailant instantly. The dead man has been identified by this and other drivers as the high wayman who has committed all these robberies, and proved to be Charles Collins, a notorious charac ter. Passengers Chloroformed. Cleveland, October 29. On Mon day night a Wagner sleeper on the Bee line was raided by robbers some where west of Indianapolis, $700 be ing stolen from the passengers, one of whom was Alderman Johnson, of this city. Among the other victims was Louis Schneeberger, who was bringing home his invalid brother-in-law, John Mugler, from San An tonia, Texas. Schneeberger lost SoO. He says the victims were chloroform ed and rolls of tissue paper substi tuted for the bills abstracted. Mu ti ler, the invalid passenger when re moved from the train at Cleveland was still much stupefied by the drug and last nieht died from its effects. His death has caused the institution of more vigorous measures for the apprehension of the thieves, who will be held for murder if caught. A Whole Town Saving a Man a itTe. Akron, O., Oct. 2!).
