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.

Yesterday was one of the most in
clement election days within our
recollection. Only about fifty per
cent, of the vote was out, but that,
as neual, was true as ever, in old
time fidelity to principle and party.
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. The chronic kickers were at
work in spots, as reference to the re
turns will show, but it is very mani
fest that the glory has departed from
theia, and that their meagre strength
is vanishing fast We congratulate
the Republicans of the county on
their day's work, and the superb vie
tory won under all the circumstances
aD(l disadvantages.
Up to the time of going to press,
(". r. m. Wednesday, the olncial re
turns have been received from every
precinct in the county, with the ex-
! ception of Allegheny and Shade.
When received they will probably
swell the majority of Quay, Barron

Grant "ill Rest In New York.
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, !
Jt LIA D. Grast.

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

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.

How aa Elephant Twisted the Tail ft
m Iilon.
JSew York, Oct 29. 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.
