Southern Pacific Eailroad $70,
C00 000 Indorsement- It Should
not become a:Party Measure, .
: Tbe men who are at the bead of tbe
movement lo' propose tbat tLe Congress
of tbe United States pass such mea
sures tbat endorsement of tbe Govern
ment be secured to tbe amount of sev
enty Bullions of dollar f-r the comple
tion of a Southern I'sciCc railroad, are
frank en.inj.li to give the greatest pub
licity to their contemplated movement,
even to tbe ob.iIiing of tbeir names.
They seem to entirely ignore tbe fact
tbat but three short years ago, during
tbe late Presidential campaign, one of
tbe great points cf denunciation tbat
tbe Democratic party dwelt on was the
past governmental aid to projects simi
lar to the one under consideration.
The management of the new enter
prise with ibis fact in view are not dis
courged. There is to be no secresj
abont it. They eipect to ask plainly
for governmental aid or endorsement,
and they expect to bave plain ves or
no from tbe country. That is good as
far as it goes, and will open ths ques
tion before the people fairly for discus
sion, which will prepare all for tbe
making up of an intelligent answer,
yea or no, to the enterprise, but it does
not go quite far enough. It should go
a step further and lift the enterprise
entirely out of polities ; that is, it
should be placed entirely out of tbe
way of party consideration. It should
not be made a Republican or Demo
cratic enterprise. H e speak of course
as a llopublicaq. If tbe Democracy
wish to champion it, Republicans shall
not object, but when they do it they
place themselves directly opposite their
most recent expicssions on such ques
tions. They dare not touch it after
their late denunciation of all such en
terprises. Tbat the Republican party should
shrink from any action tbat would like
ly be in tbe slightest degree construed
as a arty endorsement is quite natural
after tbe sweeping condemnation tbat
gave the Lower House of Congress to
the Democracy in the fall of lb4. It
Las not been stated that an effort will
be made to enlist the Republican organ
ization as a party in the proposed en
dorsement. This early stags of the enterprise is
the one in which to enter protests or
objections to even a bint of such a line
of party aotion.
These men bave as clearly a right to
go to Congress, with thiir proposition
for endorsement, as they have to a:k
for aid for any other public enterprise,
or enterprise for tho benefit for tbe
public, but tbrj have no right to ex
pect party aid, neither is it said that
tbat they do.
They should not be di'coarged from
presenting themselves at the doors of
Congress with their project. Let the
country leara whit they wish ; what
they propose to do ; what benefits they
eipect the country generally will re
ceive, ai.d let us all as intelligent coun
trymen consider them impartially out
aide of party lines, and then ss.y yes or
no to ocr represeuta'ivca ia Congress.
Let us lift it out of party reach, and
fay to .he Congressmen, take the ques
tion, consider it as individuals, as rep
resentatives of the people, and act as
jou expect t) be held rersocal'y re
sponsible to your constituent, and do
not seek to get party endorsement.
The Republican party particularly
should shun anything like party en
dorsement, for it has suffered by the
bad management of individuals, in be
ing held accountable Lr their nnwise
conduct. The salary grab, for exam
ple, while it was not a party measure,
Democrats and Republicans alike eager
ly asccptiug and votiog for its passage,
the impression was allowed to get
abroad that it was a party measure, and
then instead of tbe disapproval of the
couctry falling on the individuals alone
it fell on the Republican organ'.zation.
Again, for example, is the Credit Mo
bilier enterprise, and other endorse
ment not Becesyary now to mention.
Let us have the question before Con
gress aud tlie country, but let Congress
men and editors, and whomsoever else
tbat may chocse, consider, advocate or
denounce it, as it seeiia best to them,
without making a party matter of it,
boldiug themselves personally respon
sible for their line of conduct on such
questions. As with Congressmen so
with other officials of Government,
both higher and lower : they should, not
be allowed to biud themselves to it as
if it were a party measure. Let them
all take hold of it as individual, or cor
porate measures, and if blunder or
mistake follows, which is hardly prob
able with tbe past experience as a guide
to avoid the old wrecking places, the
Republican organization cannot then be
held responsible in the eyes of tbe world
for the mistakes of poor managing mem
bers. Col. McCluke is troubled with tbe
question cf Grant and the ' Third
Term." Compose yourself, dear Colo
uel. The people love Grant for their
country's sake, and because they love
both they are opposed to "Third Term."

At Stoughton, Mass , ran named
Orln Marshall, oa Saturday tq weeks;
ago, shot bis wife becsnse be believed
ber to be unfaithful, mod then took
dose of morphine to kill himself. " For
some reason it did not take his life, but
be was determined on committing sui
cide, and placing tbe muzzle of a load
ed pirftol to his head, drew the trigger
of tbe weapon, and shot himself dead.
It is a common thing for men to act
in tbat way coder tbe unfaithfulness of
women. Suppose the women would act
in t'le rame way over the unfaithfulness
of their husbands. Can any one teil
what kind of a atate of society the
country would be driven to 1 He is
gcotlemaa who protects his wife, Lis
daughter, or any defenceless virtuous
woman from insult, but he is an idiot
who, because cf the unfaithfulness of
bis wife, or friends, seeks to shed blood
or take his own life. The correct way
would be to leave such people. Who
would wish to kill a man or a woman,
or one's self because of the unfaithful
ness of another ! An unfaithful man
or woman is not worth the wasting- of
powder on, much less worth tbe shoot
ing of one's self. It is a mistake to
shoot, except iu defence of virtue or
one's self.
The Washington Chronicle of last
Sunday contained an article in favor of
President Grant for a Third Terra nom
ination. The great mass of the Republi
can party honor President Grant as much
as freemen can consistently honor one
man, and if it were proper to nominate
any man for a Third Term, be would be
their choice, but they are just as earn
est in opposition to Third Term as they
are earnest In honoring President Grant.
The country has never believed that he
desires a Third Term noiuiuation, and
all such emanations as the article in
question from the Chronicle causes a
smile to come over the face of tbe mass
of tbe patty, and adds fuel to the
clamors of tbe Democratic party, that
President Grant desires to be made
President for life, aud that the Repub
lican party propose to renominate him
for the object of eventually establish
ing a Dynasty, or Kingly rule. The
Chronicle might as well declare for the
Czar of Russia as for Third Term, for
all the good it will do. It will do how
ever, fot the Chronicle to tell as a j jke
on tLe Democracy, and Mc-Clure's
Times.

Whisij Frauds in the West.
It is generally known that tbe Gov
ernment Las been breakirg np the
Western Whisky ring, and prosecuting
prominent officials. Among officers
on trial at St- Louis, ia General John
D., Mo Donald, ex-supervisor of Inter
nal Revenue of St Louis District. As
a specimen of the evidence, that ren
dered by C. G. Meguire is hereto ap
pended. He said 1 came here in
June, 1871, and remained until No
vember, 1S72, I had repeated conver
sations with McDonald and Joyce
about making money out of illicit dis
tilling, the substance of which was that
distillers should be protected in mzke
ing crooked whisky on condition that
they would give a certain part of the
taxes saved, to certain parties. Abont
September 1, 1871, to March, 1872, 1
collected the money from the distillers,
Hevis Si F rarer, Thompson, Curran and
Uirici, to pay to other parties, 1 bad a
talk with all of the distillers mention
ed, and assured them that they could
run in violation of law, and that they
would be protected by government offi
cers on the conditions mentioned, 1 did
this on the authority of Joyce and Mc
Donald, the money was Usually collect
ed on Saturday of each week, the
amounts collected from Uirici varying
from $2,000 to $4,000, from Thomp
son $5,000, to 1,000, from Curran $5,
00, to $1,000, and from Be via & Fra
zer$2,500 to $3,000, the total average
being about $3,500 per week, the dis
tillers brought it to me at my room
generally abont noon, and 1 disbursed
it, a certain sum was taken oat to pay
guagers, assistant collectors, assistant
assessors,and store-keepers, and the
balance was dividod into five parts, the
money for subordinates was given to
John Leavenworth for disbursement,
and of the other five packages I kept
one, McDomald got one, Joyce got oue
and the other two were given to Lea
venworth with tbe understanding that
McKee got one and Ford the other,
this work began in the first part of
September, 1871- McDonald com
plained once that Joyce ought not to
receive as much as tbe rest, and so on
one occasion I pave him to thousand
dollars more than tbe rest without giv
ing Joyce bis full one fift'j, he took it,
tbe arrangement waa tbat tbe distillers
were to retain about one half of the
profits on crooked whisky, Leavenworth
was a ganger and part of the time a
storekeeper, the tax on whisky at this
time was 50 cents per gallon, I collect
ed about 30 cents per gallon ; it was
understood at tbe supervisor' office
that guagers, storekeepers and other
subordinates were to receive $1 to $1.
50 per barrel, but Leavenworth gener
ally paid them more ; I took tbe money
for the main members of the. supervi
sor's office, and there was nt particular
disguise ab ut my delivering it there ,
I always set aside a portion of "be
money, part of tbe time $100 per
week and part of the time $300 per
week, for Wm. O. Avery, Chief Clerk
of the Internat Revenue Bureau at
Washington ; this increase was made
at tbe instance of Joyce, who came
from Washington onee and said that
Avery was complaining of not receiv
ing enough money, and bence we in
creased it to $300 per week. The
witness could not state positively tbe
amount be realized out of tbe Ring
bere, but tbongbt it $50,009 or $00,
000, nearly all of which be lust in stock
speculation in Mew York. Charles W.
Ford, John Leavenworth, and Finlay
Robb, the parties mentioned as having
received money from him, Lave since
died.
Arrangements for the Centennial.
It is desirable that all reading people
know of the general arrangements fur
tbe Centennial Exposition, and those
who do not, or cannot read, may be
told of it by those who do. To give
the reading publie of Juniata an oppor
tunity to acquaint themselves, at this
early day, with the " arrangements,"
this article is published, bavins: been
prepared by tbe management. It is a
perfect guide, which, by re-reading two
or three times, will so fimiliarize tbe
reader with tbe general scope of the
Exposition that to go through it, if
there for that purpose, will be no diffi
cult andeetakmg :
Tbe Act of Congress which provided
fur -celebrating tbe one hundredth An
niversary of American Independence,
by holding an Internationa! Exhibition
of Arts, Manufactures, and Products of
the Soil and Mine," authorized tbe crea
tion of the United States Centennial
Commission, and entrusted to it the
management of the Kxhibition. This
body is composed of two Commissioners
from each State and Territory, nomina
ted by the respective Governors, and
commissioned by the President of tbe
United States. Tbe enterprise, there
fore, is distinctly a national one, aud
not. as Las sometimes been stated, tbe
work of a private corporation.
The Exhibition will be opened on
May 10th, 1S7G, and remain open every
day, except Sunday, until November
lOih. There will be a fixed price of
50 cents for admission to all the build
ings and grounds.
The Centennial grounds are situated
on the western bank of tbe Schuylkill
River, and within Fairmonnt Park, the
largest public park in proximity to a
great city in the world, and one of the
most beautiful in the country. Tbe
Park contains 3 ICQ acres, 450 of which
have been enclosed for the Exhibition.
Besides this tract, there will be large
yards near by for tbe exhibition of
stock, and a farm of 42 acres Las al
ready been planted for the tests of
plows, mowers, reapers, and other ag
ricultural machinery.
Tbe Exhibition buildings ate ap
proached by eight lines of street car,
which connect with all the other lines
in the city, and by the Pennsylvania
and Reading railroads, over the tracks
of which trains will also run from the
North Pennsylvania and Philadelphia,
Wilmington, and Baltimore railroads.
Thus the Exhibition is in immediate
connection with the entire railroad sys
tem of the country, and any one within
00 miles of Philadelphia can visit it at
no greater cost than that of earring;
hire at the Paris or Vienna Exhibition.
The articles to be exhibited bave
been classified in seven departments,
which, for the most part, will be located
in appropriate buildings, whose several
areas are as follows :
1. Mining and Metallurgy; 2. Manufac
tures: 8. Education aud Science, in Slain
Building, 21.47 acres.
4. Art, in Art Gallery, 1.5 acres.
5. Machinery, in Machinery Building, 14
acres.
6. Agriculture, in Agricultural Building,
10 acre.
7. Horticulture, in Horticultural Building,
1.5 acres.
Total number of acres, 48.47.
This provides nearly ten more acres
for exhibiting space than there were at
Vienna, the largest International Ex
hibition yet beld. Fet tbe applications
of exhibitors bave been so numerous as
to exhaust the space, and many impor
tant classes of objects must be provided
for in special buildings.
An important special exhibition will
be made by the United States Govern
ment, and is being prepared under tbe
supervision of a Board of Officers rep
resenting the several Executive De
partments of tbe Government. A fine
building of 44 acres is provided for the
purpose, space in which will be occupied
by tbe War, Treasury, Navy, Interior,
Post Office, and Agricultural Depart
ments and tbe Smithsonian Institution.
The Women's Centennial Executive
Committee bave raised $30,000 for tbe
erection of a pavilion in which to ex
hibit every kind of women's work. To
this collection, women of all nations
are expected to contiibute.
Tbe list of special buildiugs ia con
stantly increasing, and present indica
tions are tbat their total number will
be from 200 to 250. Moat or tbe im
portant foreign nations England, Ger
many, Austria, France, Sweden, Egypt,
Japan, and others are putting ap one
or more structures each, for exhibiting
purposes, or for the use of the commis
sioners, exhibitors and visitors. Offices
and headquarter of this kind, usually
of considerable architectural beauty,
are provided by tbe States of Pennsyl
vania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan,
New Jersey, New York, Connecticut,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Mis
souri, Kansas, Virgtnia, West Virginia,
Nevada, Wisconsin, Iowa,: and Dela
ware ; and it is likely that' others will
follow tbe example. r . - ,
A number of Trade and Industrial
Associations, which require large
amount of space, will ba provided for
ia special buildings. . Among these axe
the pbotogrjpbers,the carriage builders,
tbe glass makers, the cracker bikjrs,
the boot and shoe manufacturers, be
side, quite a cumber of individual ex
hibitors. " The great demands for spaee
will probably render this course neces
sary to a considerable extent, especial
ly fur exhibitors who have been tardy
in waking their applications. In the
Main Exhibition Building, for example,
333,300 square feet of space bad been
applied for by tbe beginning of Octo
ber by American exhibitors only ;
whereas, the aggregate space which it
has been possible to n serve for the
United States Department, is only 1C0,
000 square feet, about one-third of
which will be consumed by passage
on .
ways.
The Machinery Building, like tbe
others, is already fully covered by ap
pli .-ations. There are abont K'UO Amer
ican exhibitors in this department, 150
English, and 150 from other European
countries wh-.cb is abont 250 more
than entered the Vienna Machinery Ex
hibition. Extra provision is being
made for annexes to accommodate tbe
hydraulic machinery, the Mraui ham
mers, forges, hoistiug engines, boilers,
plumbers, carpenters, etc.
Puwer in the Machinery Hall will be
chiefly supplied by a pair of monster
Corliss Engiues. Each cylinder is 40
inches in diameter, with a stroke of ten
feet; the fly wheel ia 31 feet in diam
eter, and weighs 55 tons ; the horse
power is 1400 : and the number of
boilers is 20. Tbij engine drives about
a mile of shafting.
For the Art Exhibition, the moat
eminent American artists are under
stood to be at work, and it may be con
fidently stated tbat, especially in the
department of landscape painting, the
United States will present a finer dis
play than the public ba& been led to
expect. Quite aside from tbe contri
butions of American artists, applica
tions from abroad call for more than
four times the exhibiting space afforded
by the great Memorial Hall. Provi
sion for the surplus will be made in
temporary ire-proof buildings, though
all exhibiting cations will be represen
ted in the central Art GalUry.
The Secretary of tho Navy Las ar
ranged that a United States war vessel
shall call next Spring, at convenient
European ports, to collect and trans
port hither to the Exbibitiou the works
of American artists resident in Europe.
Among the p- rts thus far designated
are Southampton for England, Havre
for France, Bremen for Germany, and
Leghorn for Italy, to which, if desira
ble, others may be added.
Mr. Bell, the eminent English Sculp
tor, who designed the grout s for the
plinth for tbe great Albert Memorial in
Hydo Park, London, is reproducing in
terra cotta, at tbe celebrated works in
Lambeth, tbe one which symbolizes
America. The figures in this group
are colossal, eovering a gTound space of
15 feet square. It will probably be
placed in the great central gallery, op
posite the principal entrance.
The Art Exhibition will include, in
addition to the works of contemporary
artists, representative productions of
the past century of American art
thoso, for instance, of Stuart, Copley,
Trumbnll, West, Alston, Sully, Nragle,
Eiliot, Kensett, Cole. These, as well
as the works offered by living artists,
will be passed upon by the Committee
of Selection, who will visit for the pur
pose, New York, Boston, Chicago, and
other leading cities, in order to pre
vent the needless transforation to Phil
adelphia of works cf Art not np to the
standard of admission.
A large number of orders and fra
ternities hare signified their intention
to hold gatherings at Philadelphia du
ring tbe period of tbe Exhibition.
Among those which may now be enu
merated, are tbe Grand Lodge of Penn
sylvania, Independent Order of Odd

throughout litis and

shown that it does
snrelv and sfiectuaflT control them. Tbs tes
timony of our bast citixens, of ail classes, es
tablislies tlie fact, that Chirbv Pectoral
wiil and does relisre and cure tlie afflicting
dioorrieTS of the Throat and Lnmrs beyond any
other medicine- The most dangeruns anee
tions cf tbe Pulmonary Organs yield to its
rawer; and cases of Consusaptiosv, cured
t this preparation, are publicly known, so
remarkable as hardly to be believed, were
tliev not proven beyond dispute. As a rero
edv it Is adequate, on which tlie public may
reV for full protection. By curing Coach,
tin forerunners of more serious diseass, it
saves unnumbered lives, and an amount of
snffering not to be computed. It challenges
trial, a ret convinces the most sceptical.
Ever familv should keep it on baud as a
protection aninst the early and ud perceived
attacks of Fulmonarv AiTections, which are
easilv met at first, but which become inenray

lungs need this defence; and it is unwise to
be without it. As a safeguard to children,
amid the distressing diseases which beset ths
Throat and Chest of childhood, Chebkt
Pectus al is invaluable; for. by its timely
use, multitudes are rescued from premature
raves, ami saved to tlie love and flection
centred on them. It acta speedily and surely
ssninst ordinary eolds, securing sound and
health-restoring sleep. No one will suffer
rmnblesome Influenza and painful Bron
chitis, when they know how easily they cao
be enred-
Originally the product of long, laborious,
and successful cliemical investigation, no cost
