A TRUCE TO SCANDAL !
From the Harnaburn Stole Journal
It is now some months since it became evi
dent that the sentiment cf the Republican
party in Pennsylvania was chyystalizing upon
John P. Hartranft nettle next Governor of the
Commonwealth. Bo unmistakable were the
indications that the contest before the people
was practically abandoned by his competitors,
who wets getting ready to acquiesce graceful.
ly in the result. Within a few days, a last
desperate attempt has been ma le to break his
strength and make his nomination impossible.
It had its invitation in the Evans swindle.
Its prime agents were the bondsmen and part-
ners of the defaulting refugee. Its principal
Instruments were foreign newspapers whose
admitted interest and aim are the destruction,
not of Hartrnnit, but of the Republican party.
It has been greedily grasped in Penn
Sylvania by rival candidates, and the press In
their interest, and by the opposition to Gener
al Grant, whose well..known relations to Hart
ran ft were supposed to identify the administra.
tiou with the candidacy of the latter. The
people of the State were of a sudden stagger
ed by the announcement that their chleftinan
cial officer was little better than a common
felon. The details of his .villainy were pub
lished with the most plausible particularity.
If the mine had been exploded a week or two
later, its effects might have been disastrous,
and Hartranft might have been driven with a
tainted reputation from before the convention.
As it is the engineers have been hoisted with
their own petard. The combination of thieves
disorganizers and ambitious politicians is shat
tered, and their manoevres have only strength
ened the man they were intended to destroy.
It iq probable that only the Evans gang were
aware of the utter falsity of these charges.
The opposition to Ilartranft and Grant accept
ed and used the material as it was offered
them ;it was not their interest to inquire
farther.
We need not go into the tedious details of
this Evans business. The defalcation is no
torious, and the people of the titato aro famil
iar with the steps taken by their accounting
officers for the protection of their interests.
The legal proceedings are still pending, and
Mr. Payne, president of a medical college of
Philadelphia, the franchises of which were
forfeited a few days ago bh cause its president
had habitually made merchandise of Its de
grees, is one of the sureties of Evans. Pend
ing the Ihlgation a committee of the Legisia-
ture has been raised and has been for some
time laboring to get at the actual history of
the collection of the war claims. Gen. Ilart-
Ii auft, Mr. Mackey una others were brought
before the committee at an early day, and
favored it with all the- information In their
possession.
The legal proceedings have been delayed
and the investigation bailed by Evans and his
friends at every step. Evahs himself tied
from the process of the committee--and im-
Ist,liatelv neeeeecine. ilPirlarillre to New
York came a burstol scandal front tue new
York Tribune and the New York sun. The
latter charged specifically that the missing
f nds t. f the Common wealth were in the hands
01 the very man who had been most active in
unearthing the villainy and pressing Evanii to
a settlement—and forgery and perjury were
both brought into request to give the state
ment a amble ce of verity. Ordinary heel
Hess transactions of Hartranft and Mackey
perverted into grave violations of low
speculations in the trust funds which
add have been sacred In the keeping of the
—.cr. These charges were promptly taken
up by newspapers lu the interests already
mentioned, with the tender suggestion that
whether true or not, their publicity was fatal
to flartranft's availability, and that the Re
publican party of Pennsylvania should mould
Its nominations to suit the anonymous scrib
blers of the Tribune and Sun. The Legislature
very properly committed to the Evans com
mittee nn inquiry into the truth or falsity of
the charges. It has resulted in the complete
vindication of the parties Implicated. Payne
himself testified before the committee that the
resolutions which were the foundation of the
Tribune articles, were prepared to embarrass
the Evans investigation. Stroup testified that
the articles were published to damage political
interests supposed to be friendly to Hartranft;
and on Wednesday evening the exposure cul
minated in an examination of Hartranft,
Mackey, the author of the Run articles,
and others, which traced these charges
home to their , paternity, and demon
strated their complete falsity. It results
that bribes, in slims of tens of thousands,
have been offered by Payne and his friends—
that threats of official detraction and slander
have been freely used without swerving the
officers of the Commonwealth from the strict
lin of duty, and that the recent outraF,eous
libels have been published at the dictation oh
Payne, and of Payne ouly,for the purpose ofan
noying and embarrassing the pursuit which he
could not escape, and of levying blackmail
upon thin persons attacked. Beyond this Its
exult has been to fix the character of this fel-

low as one of the most reckless perjurers and
daring villains or the day. Every item of the
specification against Ilartrantt has ueen
promptly met and disproved, and there is an
end of the calumny. It is a matter of con
gratulation that, by a combination of fortuitous
circumstances, this result became possible.
His enemies reversed a rule of the common law
which holds a man Innocent until he is proven
guilty, and demanded that he should establish
his innocence ; accident has enabled him to do
so.
If the Republican party Is to win or deserve
s iccess at the coining election, it Is full time
that the scandalous warfare within its own
columns should cense. Newspaper caluninies
coined, or given currency to affect a nomina
tion will return before the election to plague
the Inventers. They are just so much am
munition manufactured and stored away for
MC on the day of decisive battle by the com
mon enemy. The candidates named for the
high Mlle. s, which aro in effect In the gilt of
our State convention, are all gentlemen
who In official and private life have held and
deserved the public confidence. With any
of them success is easy, unless success la made
d (Unit by personal jealousies and bickerings,
and the glib lies of the Interested scandal
monger. Let the Republican press preserve
its dignity and labor to strengthen the organ
ization, and to insure a cordial support to our
nominees, whosoever they may be. Then
with ordinary prudence In the deliberations
of our convention, we can approach the
October election, with full confidence of a de
cisive victory.
Not with a reproof for anythingof that day's
omission or commission. Take any other time
hut bedtime for that. If you ever heard a
little creature sighing or sobbing In its sleep,
you could never do this. Seal their closing
eyelids with n kiss and a blessing. The timia
will come, all too.soon, when they will lay
their beads' upon their pillows, lacking both.
Let them then at least have this sweet memory
of a happy childhood of which no future sor
row or trouble can rob them. Give them their
rosy youth. Nor need this involve wild license.
The Judicious parent will not so mistake my
meaning. If you have ever met the man or
woman whose eyes have suddenly filled when
a little child has crept trustingly to its mother's
breast, you may have seen one In whose child-
hood's home dignity and severity stood where
love and pity should have been. Too much
indulgence has ruined thousand of children ;
too much lovo not one.—Ainnygibrn.

No
No doubt many of our readers will re•
member a rumor which was in circulation
some thirty years ago, that a man traveling
on horseback through Peon's Valley Narrows
had been foully dealt with. The rumor was
based upon the fact that the body of a horse
was found some twenty rode from the
pike, which bad apparently been knocked
down with a cudgel and killed. The
horse was found several days after lie
was killed by some boys who were out gun.
fling. Other circumstances connected with the
affair caused a great deal of excitement in
the neighborhood. Some half dozen of the
citizens were soon after summoned to the spot,
who report; d that the case required a thor
ough investigation. A call was made upon
the citizens en mane, and a day appointed
to make search for the body of the man sup
posed to have been murdered.
On the day appointed, a number of men
from Centre and Union counties repaired to
the spot where the horse was found and set
out In squads through the woods, and searched
all day diligently. but found nothing. They
then concluded that if there were any grounds
for their suspicious, and that a man had really
been murdered, his body must have been sunk
iu a saw-Mill dam close by. Another day
was then appointed to let the water out of the
dam.
On the night before the day fixed upon to
let off the water, the gates were drawn by
some unknown parties and the water let out.
The feelings of the searching parties can only
be Imagined when the next day they found
things in Ruch a condition. Those who had
given the matter very little thought an d h id
ridiculed the idea of there being any cause Mr
such apprehensione, at once changed their
minds, and the excitement became intense.
Search was,
however, made in the mill dam,
when fresh tracks were found that had no
doubt been made the previous night,by parties
who had been wading through the mud, but
no further developments were brought tr. light.
Various rumors were in circulation. Several
parties were implicated in the crime, hut as
in most cases of this kind, the rumors were
mostly, if not all, unfounded, and the occur
rence was seemingly forgotten.
Some ten years ago, however, it was pub
lished in the newspapers in certain inalities
In the State that a man, who had-been a for
mer resident of Union county, had confessed
upon his death bed that ho was one of the par
ty who had.murdered a man in Penn's Valley
Narrows some twenty years previous to that
date. This news created some little excite
ment at the time, but it soon also died out.
Within the last few days, rumor has It that
a certain man who moved to the West from
the upper end of the county many years since
had lately died, and had confessed at his dy
ing hour that he was one of the party who
committed the Penn's Valley Narrows mur.
der, some thirty years ago, and had implicated
three others. That they played cards (with
the man they afterwards killed) at a tavern
this side of the Narrows, and there discovered
that he had a large amount of money, being a
drover from Berks county ; that they at once
laid a plan to kill and rob him ; that they fol
lowed him through the Narrows to the place
near where the horse was found, and killed
him and the horse, an buried his body under
the horse. After the horse was discovered
they moved the man's body and sank it in the
mill dam, and when the matter was talked of,
and the citizens determined to let the water
out of the dam, he and the other parties impli
cated, let out the water the previous night,
and took the body and carried it several miles
away, towards Brush Valley Narrows, and
buried It, and were the first on the ground
the following morning to help search.

items. That of mileage is the largest single
one, that of the Senate calling for $400,000,
and of the Rouse for $1,000,000. In this item

wierever truth there may be In the statements
of legislative corruption, so much talked of
nnw.vedays, there is 'certainly a more consl
derable degree of honesty exhibited In the
preparation of individual accounts than for
merly.
There is scarcely a senator who receives,
from a So them or Southwestern State, one
half the mileage his ante•bellum predecessors
did. It can be shown that Telco, of Florida,
doubled on Osborn as to that item ; while
Johnson•of Arkansas. got some $BOO more per
annum than either Rice or Clayton. Jeffer
son Davis was counted as being entitled to
several hundred miles more than either the
" scallawag" Alcorn or the " satrap" Ames,
(as Davis' friends vigorously If not coarsely
term his present successors) now obtain.
Duke" Gwinn's mileage from California
was something enormous. Waite Wigfall's
plum in this way almost paid that gentleman's
wine bill. These accounts aro closely scru
' tinized by committees in both bodies before
they are allowed and paid.
'rho appropriation asked for to pay the sala
ries of officers of the Senate amount to $120,-
228, and covers the services of ninety two
persons. Besides these ofilcers created by
law, there are over forty temporary clerks,
messengers, pages, laborers, &c. The sala
ries, in the main, are not extravagant. Secre

PROSE POEM.
The following poem, from the San Francis
co Golden Era, is not only Homeric in style,
but complete in itself, for it ends with a total
annihilation of the combatants :
On a pine woodshed, In alley dark, where
scattered moon beams, shifting through a row
of tottering chimneys and awnings torn and
dropping, tell, strode back and forth with stiff
and tense drawn muscles and peculiar tread,a
cat.
His name was Norval; on yonder neighbor.
tug shed his father caught the rats that came
in squads from the streets beyond Dupont, in
search of food and strange adventure.
Grim war he courted, and his twisted tall
and spine upheavlng in' fantastic curves, and
claws distended, and earsflatly pressed against
a head thrown back defiantly, told of impend
ing strife.
With eyes agrim and screeching blasts of
war, and steps as silent as the falling dew,
young Norval crept along the splintered edge
and gazed a moment through the darkness
down, with a tall,awag triumphantly.
peTlllO - IVlMPiti n argi n ViThegilivfl llDDvd=
lie started back, and crooked in body like a
letter B, or rather like U inverted, stood in
fierce expectancy.
'Twas well. With eyeballs glaring and
ears uslant, and open mouth, in which two
rows of fangs stood forth In sharp and dread
conformity, slap up a post from out the dark
below a head appeared.
A dreadful tocsin of infernal strife young
Norval uttered, then, with a face unbalanced
and moustache standing straight before his
nose, and tail flung widely to the passing
breeze, stepped back in cautious:lnvitation to
the foe.
Approaching each other, and with prepara
tions dire, each cat surveyed the vantage of
the field. Around they walked, with tails
' uplifted and backs high in the air, while from
their mouths, In accents hissing with consum
ing rage, dropped brief but awful sentences
of hate.
Twice around the roof they went In circle,
each eye upon the foe intently bent, then side
ways moving, as is wont with cats, gave one
long:drawn, terrific savage yeow, and buckled
in.
The fur flew. A mist ot,hair hung o'er the
battle field. High above the din of passing
wagons rose the dreadful tumult of the strug
gling cats. So gleamed their eyes in frenzy
that to me, who saw the conflict from the
window near, naught else was plain but gory
stare that moved in orbs most eccentric.
An hour they struggled in tempestuoui
fight, when taint and fainter grew the squall
or war, until all sound was hushed., Then
went 1 forth with lantern, and the field sur
veyed—what saw I ?
Six claws, one oar, of teeth, perhaps a hand
full ; naught else except a solitary tall. That
was Norval's ;by a ring 1 know It. The ear
was—but we'll let the matter pass. The tail
will do without the car.

" Keep your seat," said I, as my friend
rose to go, " I cannot help repeating that old
boomerang joke attempted to be played upon
Gough by everybody's pet humorist, Mark
Twain, and that Falstsman jokist, the Fat
Contributor. It has been told before, but I
should like to repeat it, stripping the story
front its falsehoods by which it was formerly
embellished."
One evening Twain and Grit found them
selves together at the Sherman Rouse in Chi
cago, B. F. (before the lite.)
Drifting about in search of the picturesque,
they followed the human stream till (to wear
the metaphor threadbare) they stranded on a
bar. Mr. Gough was staying in the house at
the time, and, being unwell, had retired early.
A. bright idea struck Twain's restless mind.
"Let's sen him up a cocktail I" .
Idea voted good and acted upon. Walter
arrived at Mr. Cough's room. "dome mis
take ; never touch liquor." Waiter positive;
Mr. Gough more so.
On the way down It °centred to the darkey
that it was a pity the cocktail should be wast
ed, so he drank it, and reports d " all right" at
the bar. Twain and Gris,intensely delighted,
thought they had caught the lecturer napping.
"Let's send him up another," said Grit.
Same result ; cocktail receipted home by dar
key. Excitement at fever.heat.
`Give him a brandy strong," shouted
Twain.
Disappearance of darkey—ditto brandy.
Report satisfactory, and the precious pair put
their heads together, and were concocting a
plan to mix liquors on the temperance man,
when Mr. Gough entered the bar-room, ap
proached our heroes, and said:
"I am afraid you rest under amleopprehen

ter down, and saw him drink the liquor that
I suppose you thought I had used. You will\
please retrain from sending any more up as I ,
have not 'felt the need of such drinks for
years."
When the subject Is brought up now to
Twain, he says the Fat Contributor " retired
within himself like a greased telescope," but
further says that he (Twain) " was never in
Chicago; didn't know there was a Sherman
'House," etc.
Well—take care of yourself Toledo Blade.
