Senator Wallaca and the Fres
Ballot.
XTnitel States Senator Wallace bas
le:n making quite an ado over tko
question of a Free Ballot in Con
gress. L'ist week the Democrat and
Resist? published some remarks of
his on the subject.
On the day that the Register was
telling its readers about the Sena
tor's jxecb, ilie Uanisburg Telegraph
was telling its readers what it knows
about the Senator's knowledge of the
free ballot The Telegrapk tells the
following :
Senator Wallace has left no oppor
tunity unluiproved to talk febout
troops at the polls, and delight to
linger l,iri ii prosaic language, over
the fact that soldiers had to be called
out in 1S7) to drive Democratic ruf
fians from the ballot-boxes in l'hila
delphix Making himself so con
spicuous as a defender of pure elec
tions and an honest ballot, the inqui
ry is suggested by his own blatant
professions on this subject, whether
he has always held such views, or
whether his practices in the past have
lnien the reverse, and he has only se
cured the ground he now occupies in
a kind of a squatter sovereignty way,
which he now hopes to cultivate for
partisan purposes.
We need but to go the record to
show that Senator Wallace has made
his mark in the ballot in ways that
are dark, and that to subserve his
party he was ready, when the occa
sion demanded it, to adopt any means
to insure its success.
In 1S08 a contest for seat as Sen
ator took place ltwecn Samuel J.
Shugart and Colonel John K. Robi
bon. of the Twenty-first district, Itob
isoii contesting Shugart s scat. Sen
alr Wallace was the champion of
Senator Shugart, quietly managing
his case, conducting the defense, and,
of course, responsible for the policy
adopted to retain Shugart in his seat
And what was that policy ? During
the course of the examination it was
discovried that Mr. Shugart's friends
had oliered a bribe to the witness by
whom their frauds were afterwards
fully proven, to leave the State. The
overtures were made to this witness
i y a priest. Father Tracy, who swore
lefore the investigating committee
that he had had correspondence with
Mr. Wallace on the subject of the
witness leaving the State. Did Sen
ator Wallace repulse the criminal
offer ! Did he take the high ground
then, in regard to parity of elections,
that Le presumes to occupy newt
Not exactly. The pure and immacu
late Wallace, now so lofty in his de
sire for an honest ballot, then had
but one thought, namely, to cover up
the frauds by which Shugart secured
his credentials at the least possible
cost. For when Father Tracy offered
the witness five hundred dollars to
leave the State, and the witness was
tleujurring, d.mnding two thousand
dollars, the testimony shows that
Father Tracy consulted with Mr.
Wallace, and reported that he (Mr.
Wallace) thought the witness ought
to be satisfied with one hundred dol
lars per month. He did not repulse
the offer of aid by secreting a chief
witness for the contestant To that
he was entirely willing to consent It
suited him exactly to keep a Demo
crat in his seat in the Stale Senate
by fraud, but he higgled about the
pay. It was above his pile. Two
thousand dollars ! Clearfield county
would disown him if he was known
to pay such high prices for fraud ! It
was too much. Things of that kind
were done on a cheaper scale in that
section, and he therefore offered the
witness $100 per month for an ab
senee of three months, in which time
Mr. Shugart could be made sure of
his sest Fortunately, while Wallace
was thus chaffering for a cheap piece
of fraud, the right triumphed. The
coffee-colored naturalkation papers
on which Shugart had managed to
6ecure his election were exposed
Colonel Kobi.on's case was clearly
established, and thus Senator Wal
lace, not by any abhorrence for fraud,
not by a virtuous repulse of a bribe
seeker, but by a cheapening of a bribe
seeker's pay, lost his game of fraud,
and has ever since been stigmatized
on the subject of cfffee-colored nat
uralization papers.
Here is an incident in the life of
Senator Wallace which vividly illus
trates his early career as a Demo
cratic leader, and which gave tone
and temper to his course as a politi
cian. The case of Kobison vs. Shu
gart, which brought out this fact, re
vealed the internal workings of the
Democratic party as Wallace man
aged it, and laid down its at lions at
tlie polls. It was shown that the
proposition to bribe Vas calmly re
ceived and deliberately considered by
Senator Wallace. Shugart had no
case, except as his friends were able
to deprive the contestant of his wit
nesses. A plan to do tliis was sub
mitted to Senator Wallace. He con
sidered and approved it but declined
to accede to its cost And yet this
is the man who now has the effront
ery to ask the United States Senate
to appoint him at the head of a com
mittee to look for fraud on the ballot-box,
as he charges the Republi
cans have committed such crimes.
Truly the height of impudence can
never be located as long as such po
litical audacity has room to show its
pretensions.
CLast Thursday, Minich, the well-digger,
had reached the distance of 80 feet in the
we!i at East Point, and was in high hopes of
soon finishing the job, as there were 8 feet
of water in the hole ; bat, most unfortu
nately juit then, when the crystal waters
were reached, the bit of the drill broke off,
and of course could cot be got ont of the
rock. Nothing daunted, the plucky water
Under drew out the tools and changed the
derrick and spring-pole and began to drill a
new hole. The effort that is now making is

ri tt l , .
Aueunst case oeiore a mrv was
that of George W. Jacobs, executor
cl. Airs. Mary J. Ilertzler, deceased.
vs. bolomon Hertzler, husband of
said decedent Mrs. Hertzler was
the owner of property, or monev.
and having no issue, she willed about
one-half it away from her huoband.
Jlr. Ilertzler refused to accept or
recognize tLe provisions of the will.
A feigned issued was framed and the
case was brought up from the Regis
ter of A ills to the Court for adjust
ment The defendant maintained
that because of some unexplained
cause the mind of the wife had been
brought to a state of incapacity to
make a will. The Court ch uged that
if the jury found the mind of a wife
who had property to will, in an un
sound condition, that because of that
unsoundness of mind she cannot will ;
that if the mind of a wife, who has
property at her disposal to will, has
become unduly influenced against her
husband, she cannot will it ; that if a
wife, who has property at her dis
posal to will, is in a sound state of
mind, she can make a lawful will.
The jury found a verdict againt the
will, tint is, in favor of the husbr.nd.
The case of J. M- Bunnell vs. Wm.
H. Patterson, executor, as well as the
will case above mentioned, was an in
teresting one. It was about a sew
ing machine. In the year 1S74 an
agent, seLing machines for Mr. Bun
nell, began to stop at the house of
Mr. Patterson in Tusearora valley, as
he journeyed through the valley to
sell niacl'iaes. Of course, he always
wanted to sell Mr. Patterson a ma
chine The agent often rema;ned
over night at the house of the latter,
took supper and breakfast, and was
never charged for the same ; it si'iu
ed to be free, open, old fashioned hos
pitality, and every time the agent
offered to sell a machine Mr. Patter
son and Mrs. Patterson were em
phatic in declining to buy. They de
clined to buy for want of means.
Sometime in 1875, during the preva
lence of a snow-storm, the agent left
a machine at Mr. Patterson's house.
He told Mrs. Patterson to use it and
showed her how to work it She
used it occasionally. One day the
agent brought Mr. Bunnell there,
and he insisted in selling the machine
to Mrs. Patterson, and got down on
his knees in his appeal to effect a sale. j
But they did not buy, and after the ,
agent and the boss had exhausted all
their business tact to effect a sale,
Mr. Bunnell said he would make a
present of a machine to Mrs. Patter
son, and a-sked her to select one from
a catalogue of machines ; but the lady
refused to select The machine was
left at Patterson's, just as it had been
at the time of the snow-storm. But
bv and by the agent came around one
day, and wanted to know something
about the pay for the machine. Cer
tainly such a demand must needs sur
prise the fiimily. The agent was told
that the machine had not been bought
and stood at his disposal any time.
Suit was brought for the recovery of
the price of the machine. The jury
found for the defendant Patterson.
The case of Amelia Turbett exec
utrix of Stewart Turbett, dee'd, vs.
David Wilson, was settled.
In the case of Wm. Cox vs. Jacob
Shelley and John Shelley, for a lum
ber bid, the jury found for the plain
tiff. In the case of George Deitz vs.
Conrad Feltman, the jury found for
Deitz, in the sum of one dollar for
damages, and the defendant to pay
costs. It was a suit for shinder. It
had been charged that the plaintiff
had misappropriated a barrel of flour.
It was not said in that way ; it was
said that he had stolen it
The case of Daniel Coffman et ah
vs. Andrew Patterson and Mary Pat
terson W88 settled.
The case of Fanny Fronk et al, vs.
John Musser, trustee, resulted in a
verdict for the plaintiff. This case
grew out of a loan of money to Mar
tin Weaver by Fanny Fronk. W eaver
failed. Tobias Weaver, a brother of
Martin Weaver, was a party to the
obligation to Fanny Fronk. When
Martin failed to py the obligation,
Tobias was called on to do so, but he
coidd not, and such effects as he had
in his possession were claimed by his
wife as hers, and such inheritance as
it is presumed that the brothers had
in their father's estate had also been
assismed. The action was on a feign
ed issue to test the validity of the
assignment of tha inheritance.
In the case of Julius Derr vs. J. B.
?J. Todd and Armstrona1 Powell, the
jury found for the plaintiff. The ac
tion trrew out of a sale of property
of Derr, by a constable to pay a debt
owed to Todd.
In the case of D. R. P. Bealor, sur
viving partner of the late firm of John
M. Kepner and D. R. P. Bealor, vs.

iurv found for the plaintiff. The ac
tion grew ont of a lease of a piece of
land by John M. Kepner, deceased,

purposes. Alter tne aeatn oi jut.

winter months, and on the 19th and
20th days of May, 1857, the mountains
were white with snow, and in the val
leys no blossoms bad yet appeared on
the trees.
John L. Keagh, the father of tbe two
cbildreu burned to death at Carbon Hill,
Lnxerne county, on Monday night a
week almost before bis eyes, because
he was unable to rescue them, says be
is confident tbe house was set fire to
by two bard-looking characters he saw
loafing in the road that evening.
Every effort will be made to effect
their arrst.
In Massachusetts, last Tbursdjy, a
man and wife named Freeman, deliber
ately ofi'.-red their 5 year old daughter
as a sacrifice to some insane religious
notion. Tbey put tbe child on a table
wbicb served as an alter, and murdered
it, declaring that on tbe third day the
child would arise and live. Tbe man
says that God ordered him to kill tbe
child. He has been arrested and put
in jail. The funeral of the child took
place on Sunday.
A fire at Carbon Hill, near Pitts ton.
Pa., at one o'clock on Monday a week
destroyed a bouse occupied by John L.
Keagh aud bis five children. A son
aged eleven, and a daughter thirteen
years of age were burned to death Mr.
Keagh had bis face and hands terribly
burned in his efforts to rescue bis
children. His youngest chil l aged
five years, lmd his head and arms badly
burned, and bis recovery is doubtful.
The house and contents were owned by
Mr. Keagb, upon which he had no in
surance. Ad exchange after reading the Fish
Couiniissionerg Report, published tbe
following :
Eels spawn in salt water-
The sales of fresh fish at Erie are es
timated at $00,000 a year.
, An eel has a heart in its tail exhibit
ing a pulsation of about 95 beats to a
minute.
In Germany and Italy tbe eel is cul
tivated, and considered a favorite fish
or reptile.
The black bass are now to be found
in nearly all tbe Pennsylvania streams
of any size.
Before cooking, if the backbone U
taken out, an eei is more palatable, tbe
"stony" taste almost entirely disap
pearing. Tbe Fishery Commissions talk about
introducing "grass bass." They weigh
fuil crown, from half a pound to two
pounds.
During the three months io which
black bass may be cauzht m th'u State
it is calculated that 5,000 pouods are
taken each day. That's fishy to be
sure.
