Tinnie C. Clafltn has announced
herself as a candidate for Congress in

Tilt RAUROAP.—The board or directors
ofthe L. C. &. aC. R R . met at Phila
delphia, on Wednesday of last week, for
the purpose of examining the bids and
aw arding contracts. There were sons* 36
bids, which were handed over to chiaf en
gineer Letiffer, for his examination, and to
report as to the lowest and cheapest bids.
As this requires some considerable time,
probably two or three days, we did not yet
learn who are the successful bidders.
The board resolved to adopt the three
foot guagc. It was i-lsu further resolved
that the work be let from taction 36(Forks)
to 06 *Oak Hail ). The reason why the let
ting for the work on the mountains will not
be had, is, cn account of the change of
gauge, the engineer thinks he can make
such alterations in that part of the line, so
as to mi.ke its construction much cheaper
than at present located. It will thus be
cn that the work is to be completed first
in the middle, thus offering our whole val
ley the use of the road for a western outlet,
while the work in the mountains and west
of Miftinburg is being put in shape for the
contractor. It was also further resolved
by the board t hat thesurveys be completed,
and the estimates be made lor the b*ianc e
ofthe lice through from Miffiinburg to Ty
rone.
Radical Defaulters.
The Commercial, says the Pittsburg Post,
two days ago urdertook to deny that va
rious Radical Internal Revenue Collector*
were defaulters to the government to the
amount of more than $36,001(000, and
claims that all the defalcations amount
only to $2,768,367. In support of the
• barge we refer our cotemporary to the
official report of Secretary Boutwell made
to Speaker Blaine on the 18th of February
1871. I n this report the Secretory furnish
ed "the House a statement ofthe balance#
duo from Collectors of Internal Revenue,
who are not now in office and the total
amount* ofthe balance so due as they ap
pear on the books ofthe accounting officers
of bis Department on the COtli day of June,
1871."'
In this report, to which we refer the
Commercial, Mr. BoutwcJ! officially cer
tifies tbat there were then defalcations to
tins amount of Twenty Millions Seven
Hundred Thousand Nine Hundred and
Eighty-three Dollars and Thirty-three
Cent#, shown by the accounting books of
the Treasury. He gave the name of each
defaulter. In the list we find twenty-nine
defaulter* in Pennsylvania, charged with
nearly two million dollars. We give be

We desire the Commercial to bear in
mind that these are the certified figures of
Mr, I'outwell, and if it wants toqarrel with
him about their accuracy, it is welcome to
do so. The point that we want to imprest
is, Hint there has been more than $20,000,-
000 of the people's taxesstolen, andUrant's
adminisf ration makes no attempt to recov
er it, but increases the taxation ofthecoun
try to make up for the defalcations.

New Narrow gruagt Lines.
The Midland A Mackinaw is the name of
a new narrow-guage company, proposing
to build a railroad from Midland, Mich.,

Lake, and thence, eventually, due north tq
the Straits of Mackinaw.

Narrow (iauge Cars.
(From the Harrisburg Patriot).
As much interest is manifested in the
"new departure" in railroads a description
of the narrow gauge passenger car*, etc.,
which passed through here a few day* ago
for the Denver and Rio Grand railroad,
may not be amiss. The passenger cars are
thirty-five feet in length, seven feet in
width and ten feet six inches in height. On
! one side of the aisle is a row of double scat*
i and o j the other a row of single seats. The
seats are as comfortable and roomy as
those in use on roads of wider gauge, and
there are seal# lor thirty-four passengers in
each car. The smoking cars are quite a
novelty in their way, having twoelegantly
cushioned scats running from end te end
back to back, with others of smaller di
mensions disposed about the corners. The
finish ofthe cars inside and out is elegant,
the seals being lined with fine plush and
the panneling and other adornments are
highly polished and artistically painted
The centre of gravity is kept as low as that
of any ordinary railroad car can be by re
ducing the height of the sills to twenty
seven inches above the rails, which is eigh
teen inches less than that on broad gauge
roads. The tracks upon which the pas
senger cars rest re constructed in the roost
substantia! manner, and it only requires
an examination to prove to the most incre
dulous that these cars will be frilly as safe
as any others—as little liable to unset or to
meet with any of the accidents which are
customary on railroads. The baggage cars
attached to the trrias are models of conve
niencc.

For the Reporter.
Democrats of Centre county, as we have,
for the first time in the annols of history, a
candidate from the Loop, let us give him
our earnest and undevised support. That
candidate is H. R. Smith, than whom a
more faithful democrat never lived. He
has been no "grunter" around the pub
lic crib, has never held a county offloe. and
wc can truly say ho has been urged by
many of his friends to be a candidate, ft;
is seldom we get such men as hepersuaded
to let their namee be brought before the
public, and as he has now consented, let u*
support hirn. He has labored hard for the
party, is a Christian and a gentleman, and
it is just such men we want and the ma
chinery of government will run smoothly

Hon. F. Kurt*:— As Bellefonte It entitled

the offices in the gift of Centra county,
Pennsylvania and the United Btetes tn
general, let, us select some man who has
not been designated by the "ring" of that
hamlet, as the man to suit their own par
tisan purposes. In looking over the list of
candidates we see the name of Win. A,
Kerlin and where is there a prom neqt

him. He has naver held any office of
profit, but has a reputation for honesty and
integrity wherever he is known. Always
faithful to the principles of democracy he
deserves our support, poTrm
For the Reporter.
All the candidates for Associate Judge
have held offices previously excepting Cm.
Love and Capt. Cross, and no democrat
dares say that we have any candidate in
the field more worthy of support than they.
Col. Love has worked diligently and faith
fully for the party for a number of years,
and now, as ne asks but this one favor why
not give him our earnest support?
The Col. only asks one term while there
is a clique of gormandizers who are never
satisfied but cry for office all the time. The
hewers of wood and drawers of water are
not tired, and do not ask pay for their ser
vices, but, when we ask the dawocrsAic par-,

that we appreciate his diljgeoco, ami (ml

On the Man for the Aiwrmbly.
The approach of the fall noinination and
ilectionofa representative, enjoin* upon
vffiort tha d*y of cW|ing t|p proper
' man from the aspiring candidate*. A*
r voter*, and eitiaen#,, Are offiinol too highly
1 value'lbe im|<ortan<MK)f exfch suck election,'
1 a* a part of that governmental arrange
ment which secure* the complete represen
tation of our interest* and right*.
► There are two theories of representation
' usually adopted and followed by public
1 men. Tha first enjoin* that the reproaan
' tative should simply legislate according to
tha instruction* of his constituency. This
applies to home legislation, and dim* not
1 provide for that legislation which concern*
1 the people of another district concerning
' which a representative, for inslaaoe, of this
icounty, could not well be instructed or
authorised by his people.
The other theory accord* freedom to the
representative, and enjoin* that be legis
late according to his judgement, ability
and peculiar acquaintance with the need
| atul demands of hit constituency, it may
be needless to say that the adoption of both
theories, as the case may require, secure*
itlie best legislation.
Rut the question of good re{Nre*entation
may be attempted on the following query;
What elements in the representative will
best secure the complete representation of
! the people's rights and interoat*' lam too
I well convinced of my own weakness to be
lieve tbat 1 can determine a question so
grave and important. But it is under the
i hope that, by my discussion of so grave a
matter, others may compare notes and
opinions, that 1 write.
First in order, I conjecture that a well
grounded conviction in democracy is an
element. I purposely use the term con
viction. It single* out the man who
cherishes principles for their own sake*.
It means a democrat who has sacrificed
1 something for his fhith and party, it ex
jelude* him who only believe* in the ma
turity, holds to the party in iu triumphs,
I ask* for office on account of his labors and
speaks of hi* claims. If a man have con
victions, why need he ask for reward and
claim an office from the people? Doe* a
political life mean so little ? Mow weak !
Mow viod 1 If so, are not politic* a fierce ?
A parly, a myth? A creod, an empty
name ? Is there no better motive in human
uatare to beget conviction and produce
working and thorough democrats than tht
hope of office ? I underrate not tho vaiua
of works; but I attach only an importance
to them in so far as they are the out gfouth
of principle and au evidence of sincerity.
But how lifo-long connection with tho party
and some few years of party labor can lay
a claim upon the party, when the aspirant
lacks other important qualifications for the
office, 1 cannot possibly conceive. Let hia
political labors be the external proofs of
his democratic convictions, and then de
mand of the man for the Assembly, that
he be a progressive and Centre county
man in that sense, which would make him
the friend of the county, and not of a sec
tion. It is too evident for disciuaiest that
the man for the Assembly should be
thoroughly imbued with a progressive
spirit axd a Centre county enterprise The
former will enable him to accept the ac
complished facts of our timet, and the lat
ter will more than fit him for all needful
county legislation. Let him be a convert
to the' New Departure," and then ask of
the man for the Assembly, that he have
the element of Aonesfy. But you say, why
tell us these old truths? Your article sound*
tike an echo of the past. It is an echo of
the past—the past of Henry Clay, of John
C. Calhoun, of Daniel Webaler. A repre
sentative then meant force of personal char
acter—meant integrity of principle and
hono-ty ot life and conduct. I consider
honesty—strait forward honesty in our
public men. one ofthe most pressing needs
ot our time*. It is gravely said tbat almost
every public man ha* his price. When
we reflect on the influence and pressuie of
corporations and organised wealth, can
we doubt it ? I have it froui good authori
ty that, at a sitting of the legislature at
Marrisburg last winter, a member arose in
hi* seat and moved that if Tom Scbott, the
Pennsylvania rail-road operator, had no
other business for this legislature that they
now adjourn. I have it also from a son of
a great Senator, that, during the impeach
ment trial of Andrew Johnson, hi* father
was offered an immense sum for his vote.
Although a digression, I can say forth*
Senator that be retired from his office a poo
rer man than he entered—an honor worth a
monument. Political honesty is a rare
virtue. But good representation cannot
dispense with it. You ask me. How are
weloknowthecandidate'shonesty? Grant
ing the difficulty of knowing the inner life
of men for public places, would it not be
well to prefer him who has religious con
victions, and have been known for prac
tising them among hi* neighbors? Are we
sis ays to be represented by men who
electioneer by drinks? Are the people blind
that cannot see, tbat they will pay daarly
for such liberality? In view ofthe corrup
tions of corporations and the senseless ex
penditure of money for office, 1 would ask,
in the words of Dr. Budington, Have we
the virtue, have we the manhood to stand
up against corruption and misapplied
wealth, as we stood up against the embat
tled lines of rebellion ?
Let the man for the Assembly show, by
the purity of his private life, that the peo
ple can safely and honestly commit their
interest* and trust* to his keeping, and last
ly ask for hi* legislative ability.
Let no man go there who doe* not thor
oughly comprehend the genius of our
government. It is needless to say that
such a comprehension require* a know!-
edge of the constitution and history cf the
country. Nor is it less essential that lie
should understand, in some measure, tbat
net-work system of eivil laws which keep
in harmony the transactions of a great peo
ple.
We must insist upon intellect and scholar
ship of a high order, as an essential condi
tion upon the bestowal of that Important
office. Only the man of culture *and
thought will mean anything at Harrrlsburg.
Put a thinker there—an actor and author.
Let hit eloquence combine with n com
plete acquaintance with the queetiont of
hit people. But let not amall differences
on small questions prompt you to reject a
man of large culture, for, if he be honest
and Upright, he will wlyc oyery question
to your satisfaction when you understand
it.
To mo, legislation meant practical states
manship, and statesmanship it at much a
science at chemistry.
I am purtuaded, that if public opinion
was fully alive to the importance of tbeae
first principles, Old Centre would put on a
bolder front You may say, that such a
man for the Assembly cannot be chosen.
My standard is high, it is true. But ia a

than tbey were ten years ago, and,
though the export of raw products has
increased, it is at largely diminished
prices. 8o also has the proportion of
the articles of a common order of la
bor increased, superseding, in die
home markets, goous which in fjrmer
times we held the marks* (or without
fear of competition from abroad.
Is it not notorious—and can tba
senator be so blind as not to know it
—that in moat of our leading indus
tries there is great stagnation f Our
foreign commerce is almost totally des
troys. Ship building is likely to be
come one of the "loot arts" in this
country. The President, in his spe*
cial message to congress on the sub
ject, estimated the amount we have to
pay to foreign rfiipa on this account at
930,000,000 a year- The Ins* of the:
shipbuilding cannot be less than this*
sum, making 900,000,000 a year di
verted from American labor, and:
from the consumption of home pro
ducts. Does not the senator also
know a large number of the leading
woollen manufacturers of Uis country
have united in a memorial and state
ment that tbey am unable, in conse
quence of the taxes upon raw materi
als, to compete with foreign tnaufac
turers in any but the coarser kind* of.
fabrics ; that "leading manufacturer*
of machinery have stated that the]
tariff, by ks burdens on labor and
materials at home, enable* foreign
machine builders to lay down ma
chinery in this country cheaper than
they can,'* and that "the cotton man
ufacturers complain that the tariff
makes machinery so costly that they
cannot afford to replace theirs ? And
it is notorious that Arapfifi (pan ;
ufacturers of cottou nave not kept
pace with the improvements in cottou
machinery." .
Has he read the late memorial of
the boot and shoe manufacturers, and
doe* lie think that lie knows more of
their prosperity than they do them
selves ? What opinion lias he of the
lste statement fir Mr- Greeley, that
"there are now 9 tpMlipD of f orktpeu

farmers, who were to be directly com

The Orangemen
The New York World of Wednes

of the Orange institution that it* mem

the it ri I tali realms." Thil count! v
would not he free, however, if theoe
confessed foreigner* were not permitted
to hold itcaceful lUMctub'ugee iu iu ci
lie*. Yet abusing the protection gua
rnntied by the government, and for
the deliberate purpose of creating riot
and murder, the Orangemen have
used every wanton and niaiiciou* prov
ocation to exasperate a portion of the
citizen* of thi* country, and *iir up
sectarian rage. The ci linen# of the
North would not have the bad tale
and l lie mean in-*# to go down South
and celebrate the hatlle of Vicksburg
or the capture of New Or!nana, and

by these Orange men to commemorate

! "they continue, "by the artsof Ropery
1 ami the attacks of infidelity. Our
1 constitution is assailed by fanaticism
land impaired by faction. Against this
double danger the Orange institution
is formed; being so named in honor of
1 the successful enterprise of King Wil*
' liam HI., Prince of Orange, to which,
under Providence, the British idle* owe
| their deliverance from spiritual and
{ (HI! it seal thntldrom, the confirme<! E.*
! tablishmeiit of the Protectant religion
and I lie inheritance of the Brunswick
I throne. No man unless his creed le
Protestant ami his principles loyal to
j the throne of Britain can associate with
j us." The declaration is further in
i tensifit'd by Rule No. 11. of the insti
\ tution as solemly adopted and put
' forth under the Grand Mastership of
j the Tory Lord Kenton, which runs:
"No person who has been or is a rnem-
I her of anv society hostile to fhe fun-,
dameuta! principles of (iningeism. or
at variance with the constitutional
government of the United Kingdom of
Great Britain ami Ireland, its church
and state as by law established, can be
admitted to our aaaoiiation."
Mr. Joseph Hume in the British
j llou*e of Common* has truthfullv
1 given the history of the Orangemen in
! 1 relnr-l We quote hi* language from
'■ the World:
[ "The effect of this Orange institution
; is to keep up an exclusive association,
exciting one |>ortioii of the people
against another, to increase religious
animosity and rancor; hv proccasioer
on particular days, with the insignia
of the society, to excite to breaches of
the peace and to bloodshed; to raise
up other secret societies among the
Catholics in their own defence and for
their prolactin against the insults of
the Orangemen."
This fearless advocate of equal,
rights, for these and other reasons,
advocated the suppre.ts.iou of the or
ganization. Sir Robert Peel, the.•
great and enlightened British states
man, deliberately said in his place in
parliament:
"If! were a private gentleman of]
Ireland, 1 declare to God tlintl would,
by rav influence, by my example, hv,
every incans in my power, endeavor to
put down these associations nud pro
cessions."
Their processions have been sup
pressed in England and Ireland, but j
in this country at every recurrence of
the 12th of July, they endeavor by
displaying taunting legends on their
banners, ami playing insulting air-,
to provoke their C-athulic foUow-eoun
try men to breaches of tlio peace.
These are the Orangemen of New
York.
The Thiers Expedient
Ther n>a mide among the Hindoo*)
that a thief, having been detected audi
condemned to die, happily hit upon an
expedient which gave him hope of life, i
lie sent for his jailor, and told him,
that he hail a ecrp* of great Impor
tance which he desired to impart to the
King, and when that had been done
he would he prepared to die. Upon]
receiving this piece of intelligence the
king at once ordered the eu!pr;t to bet
conducted Jfyhi# presence, and demand
ed of him to know his secret. The 1
thief replied that he knew the secret ol !
causing trees to grow which]
would bear fruit of pure gold. The
experiment might be easily tried, and!
his majesty would not lose the oppor
tuuity; so, Accompanied by his prime!
minister, his courtiers, and his chief
priest, he went with the thief to a spot
selected near the city wall, *\kcic the
latter ncpfuoocd a series of solemn in
cantations. This done, thoryrtoemned
nrau a piece of gold and de
clared that if it shorn! lie planted it
would produce a tree eyery hraneh of
which would hear gold.
"Bui," lie added, "this must ho put;
ipto the ground hv a hand that bus I
never beeu staiued by a dishquest.act.
