ANNOUNCEMENT.
COUKTT SUKVETOR.
Kmtok Sektinel and RKprsuc4X: Sir,
I could announce tieorge K. Henderson, of
Patterson, as a candidate for the office of
County Surveyor, subject to the rules and
regulations of the Republican party.
Oct. 9. 1877.
A few years ago the Temperance
Kentimeut was strong in this State.
The only organized friend that could j
aid it was the itepubucan party, lo
that organization the Temperance
people applied for a law, as they said,
in the interest of the Temperance
cause. The Republican organization
voted for what they asked. They
proved ungrateful, as was demon
titrated by their movements the next
year, when they organized as a politi
ral party, and inveiled enough He
publican to vote for them in certain
districts, that both Republican and
Temperance candidates were defeat
ed, aud thus secured a Democratic
majority in the Legislature indirectly.
The Democratic Legislature soon
cleared the books of the new Tem
perance laws, and now no party does
reverance to the question.
The fall of the 1 emperance cause i
is ciicd here, as an illustration of the i
Labor nn I Greenback movement of
to-day. I
Labor in this country, to-day would :
lie in the dishonorable condition of
the slave if the Republican organiza
tion had not gone to the rescue when
t hose who held men in slavery made
war on the government to overthrow
it, for the purpose of destroying the
free element it contained, and to ex j
..." -
tend slavery on its ruins. The leaders
of rebellion openly declared that it
was not black slavery they cared for ;
it was something broader they want-
ed. They wanted a government that
declared its corner-stone to be that j
cnpitil skall own its tutor. That meant j
slavery regardless of color. If it had
not been for the Republican organi !
zition the doctrine would have pre- j
vailed in this country, and free gov
ernment would be numbered among
the the things of the past
To prevent such a calamity from
overtaking free labor ; to prevent the
Northern prat of the Republic from
lw-coiuiug consolidated with a slave
empire the Administration of Abra
hum Lincoln accepted the gnage to
battle. Was it a mistake ? Is labor,
that alone received the benefit, about
to strike its benefactor, and help in
directly the organization that gave
its countenance to the other Bidet
To put the Democracy into power
in'lireetly. as the Temperance people
put them into power, may not work
to the utter overthrow of labor, and
the restoration of the oil order of
affairs, but there is danger in the ex
periment If it were possible for
labor in this movement to receive a
benefit, it would be well enough to so
move, but no benefit can come. The
only result of a large withdrawal
from the ranks of the Republican
party to the Labor movement will le
the election of the Democracy, and
the Democracy will no more help the
Lalxir movement than it helped the
Temperance movement The Repub
lican party is the friend of Labor and
the Greenback.
Thmie is no permit in human law
to allow one mun to shoot another,
excepting in a case of self preserva
tion, or in the preservation of one's
property; for example, if a man
breuk into oije's house to carry off
property, or endanger the life of the
owner, he may be shot
There is no permit in the United
States Constitution to issue Green
back currency, or National currency ;
but the same natural right that an
individual has to defend his property,
and his life, belongs to the Nation,
and when the Nation was in danger
of overthrow by those who believed
that labor should be owned as horses
and catt le are owned, it needed money,
and under the natural right of self
preservation it issued the National
mony, anl the Greenback. The
money litui lx-coine popular, but it
must be eventually retired, as must
e.11 of the indebtedness incurred by
the war against labor, or the United
States Constitution must be changed
to perpetuate such funds. The Dem
ocratic party, as an organization, will
never perpetuate them, if it gets into
power it would rather pronounce
them unconstitutional, and repudiate
them in Mo, and set np the old sys
tem of wild cat State banks. Every
Republican who votes the Greenback
ticket votes indirectly to put the
Democracy into power, and conse
quently endangers the greenback and
other United Stales paper, on tha
around of their nncoutitntionality.
Their is d inger ahead
When a man tells it abroad that
President Ilayes has stolen the place
he holds es the chief raler in the lie
public, he proclaims what is not a
fact. A mari with a funster motive,
or a stupid man. mat make stfch tie-
Partitions, but art honest man, and a
well-informed mari, makes no each
declarations, for the facts in the case
will not permit such a depiirtra-e from
truth. .No man ever sat in the 1 resi
dential chair who held the place with
a clearer title. First, ho holds the
place by a majority of the electoral
rotes, by a majority of one, which in
law iH as good as twenty. Second,
when bin opponents questioned the
elwtOTrfl majority because of the
sm;ill majority of one elector, a joint
commission was provmod by Con-
grres, and by that commission he was
declared the duly elected President
ot the Limed sUtoa. He holds the
pl:we by a double title, and the man
who questions it, is not seriously in
favor of heeding decrees of courts,
or decrees of representative boilVs.-
The German section of the Phila
j delphia Workinjnnen's party have
! withdrawn from the canvass, because
. they are dissatisfied with the Green-
back alliance ; because some of the
candidates are not Labor Reformers
and not Greenbackers, such for in-
stance as Mr. Brewster, candidate for
' District Attorney ; because the G reen-
1 backers had Mr. Cooper, of New
: York, for their Presidential candidate.
and he, Mr. Cooper, put the wages of
his workmen down to 7o cents, and
less a dav ; because there is nothing

now. They will have to bide their

The bar has a high opinion of
Judge Sterrett and will largely cast
its vote for him. The people of Ju
niata should give him a majority, be
cause he is a native of the county.
Local county pride should overcome
political considerations, particularly
on the question of the Supreme
Judgeship.
The Supreme Court of the United
States is three years behind with itn
work. It is suggested to increase
the number of Judges, divide the
court into three or four courts, each
for a separate and distinct line of
cases, but all to unite in one court
when Constitutional questions ore to
be considered.
- .
TitE reason Congress has been as
sembled in extra session is, because
the Democrats last winter would pass
no appropriation to pay the army.
Their reason for withholding pay
from the army, they alleged, was that
the army was used to set rip and pull
down Southern State governments.

Why He Studies Law.
It has been extensively published
in newspapers that Rev. George P.
Hays, President of Washington Col
lege, has become a student at law.
The inference deduced from Bitch
publications is that Mr. Hays con
templates leaving pulpit and college,
to enter the legal arena, to practice
law, just so soon as he has read the
length of time required under the
laws of the Commonwealth to bring
him out a full-fledge J lawyer ; but not
so, such is not his purpose. The
abandonment of pulpit aitd tbe leav
ing of college is not bSs object His
purpose is set forth in a letter to the
Presbyterian Badnet, ulrtder date of
October 4, 1877. The letter reads r
Messrs. Editors: The statement
that 1 have entered myself as a law
student iu the office ot llou. A. W.
Aclieson, of this place is goius the
rounds of tbe papers, and has been
greatly misunderstood by oiy friendsf
as their letters tome show. The state'1
went is true,- aud this is tbe reason for
H. An unusual proportion of our last
graduating class have adopted law as
their profession. Some of tbem, find
ing that they Could get but little atten
tion as students of law wheu reading in
the office of a lawyer in active practice
came to me for advice, and in the con
volution 1 was asked whether I would
direct their studies if tbey would come
to Vashiugton. Believing every min
ister ought to have some study as a
kind of intellectual gymnastics, 1 bad
read a pretty fair law course during the
seven years of my pastorate in Balti
more. 1 took law as some men take
mathematics and others languages.
Since entering college I have beesr
compelled to read op pretty exten
sively in the directions of Constitu
tional and International law for my
clasces. In the college work reading
a course of law would be of the
utmost advantage. 1 have therefore
accepted the invitation of the young
men to conduct their studies, but not
as a substitute for a regular legal pre
ceptor. Each oue is entered in a law
office, and this is additional. Four are
in the class, Mr. Geo. P. Wilson, Ma
sontown. Pa ; It. 0. Fawcett, Carrol ton
Ohio ; John Mcandless, OAdale, Pa.;
and V. U. Stewart, ashingtou. The
first two were the honor men of their
class. Two others are expected to
unite with it. Without, therefore, the
slightest notion of leaving the ministry,
1 intend to be formally admitted to the
bar 1 do not expect to practice law,
unless turned out of the college and un
able to get a church.
It will bo gratifying information to
tbe frieods of education to know that
not only are the institutions located
bere doing thorough work, but that
work is being appreciated by tbe pub
lic. There are now at tbe two insti
tutions two hundred and eighty-five
students, one hundred and fifty-four in
the College and one hundred and thirty
one in tbe Seminary. If we count as
mixe 1 schools do, there are one hundred
and thirty-one new students in attend
ance, sixtjeight in the College and sixty-three
in the Seminary. The whole
outlook of both is encouraging.

Extraordinary Matrimonial
lloax.
Not long since a youth of (be mature
age of 41 iuserted in a Dundee (Scot
land) paper the followiog advertise
ment: "A Working man, nf independent in
come wisbee to correspond with'a young
woman with a v'lew to the above."
'Tbe 'above'" was' not moffl partic
ularly specified but tbe bait took, and
a "juung woman," signing herself "Ag
nes," and dating from I'uion street
Hamilton, intimated ber willingness to
become the desired correspondeu t- A u
endearing letter was received in tii
ponse, tbe writer dating from L'ni-n
strestj Cupar Fife ; and cartes were
passed and several more letter. It
was finally arranged that the swain was
to come to Hamilton, traveling by tbe
7:20 train from Glasgow. Tbe fair one
was to make herself known by bold'ng
out a white handkerchief, and "John"
-as to speak first. Displacing a cer
tain amount of Fife caution, John ar
lived sevefal hours before tbe stipula
ted tiuie, aud improved the flying mo
meats ty making inquiries regarding
bis Agnes, though, of course, fruitless
ly. Some time aiter the arrival of the
train be was to have travtled by be was
seen hanging about the station, aud
soon afterwards a buxom young female
made up to him and made to shake
bands, remarking, Is that yon, Johu?"
The pair were soon at borne with sach
other, and tbey left together, John un
der the impression that he was to be
taken to Agnes' aunt's house in tbe
neighborhood. Instead, she took him
along the Wellbill road. First a cou
pie of young fellows, and then a num
bef more came unexpectedly on t the
scene. Tbe unsuspecting swain bad
fallen into a trap. Before he could
offer any resistance be was seized bold
of, laid on the ground, and tied with a
rope. Thus fastened, be was at the
mercy of bis tormentors, who, with a
brush set lo and besmeared tbe poor
man all over with treacle he bad said
in his letters he was a grocer. Not
content with this, they undid bis vcSt
and poured inside the contents of a
bottle filled with tbe same saccharine
substance. They then tethered their
victim to the hedge and decamped. In
this sad plight he was shortly afterward
found and set at liberty by two passers
by. Others came on the scene ; and
after going to the nearest public house,
tbey, good Samaritan like, ordered re
freshments, and subscribed as much as
took tbe rejected one back from whence
be came. Latterly the police got word
of the proceedings, and it is quite pos
f-ible the jokers may yet bave to pay
pretty sweetly for their whistle.
A STIXG OF COWHIDE.
How m Xtw Jertey Lad Rertngtd Herself
on a Old Plume.
Tbe little towu of Madison, N. J., is
iu quite a teruieu I because Mrs. Abram
Voorhees, a "grass widow," undertook
to cowhide Mr. Joseph E. Scofield, a
prominent busiuess mau and old resi
dent of tbe place, iu the public street.
It is stated that about seven years ago
Scufieid made tbe acquaintance of Mis.
oorbees at tbe Presbyterian church,
and that in a short while bis aequsiut
ance ripened iuto such intimacy that
the towulolks begau to shake their
beads. After a while Mrs. SeofielJ he
gau proceedings for a divorce, which
were dropped, however, by her bus
band's agreeing to pay ber expenses.
In about two months Mrs. Scufieid re
turned to ber husband, but in tbe
meantime tbe committee of the church
took bold of the rumors concerning Mr.
Scofield and brought bim before them
for trial. He was found guilty of cou
duct unbecoming a Christian and ex
pelled, as was also Mrs. Voorheps.
A short time sgo Sd'field again join
ed the Presbyterian Church, and bas
been a regular attendant since bis
readmission. He did not recognize
Mrs. V oorbees iu the street, but it is
said spoke of bis previous relations witb

ed bim, aud as be turned, he says, be
received a cut across the face witb a
oowhide. Looking up be beheld Mrs
Voorhees and grappled with her. She
freed herself and kept raining down
blows on him until he was forced to
seek safety iu flight aud leaving her
panting for breath.

and it was not long before the affair
bad been told everywhere, and the
previous actions and tbe lives of the
