Henry Green, |OF JFORTHAMPTON OOCKTT. FOR AFDITOK GENERAL, Hon. John -A-. Lemon, OF BLAIB COFSTV. WE notice by our exchanges that Republican announcements of candi dates are being made in neighboring counties. _ _ NEWTON BLACK, Esq., has removed his law office from the National Hank building to the Diamond, south side of Court House and near CITIZEN office. THE Penn Gold and Silver Mining Co., of this place, have an attractive Mgn up and appear to be doing a good business in the office of AN illiam« Ac Mitchell, Esqs., near CITIZEN office. THE Democratic State Committee met at Pittsburgh on Thursday week last and fixed upon Harrisburg as the place, and Wednesday, April 28th, as the time for holding the Democratic State Convention. THE Blaine men at Washington, estimate the strength of the several candidates for the Republican nomina tion for President on the first ballot, as follows: Blaine, 359; Grant, 201; Sherman, 143; Edmunds, 23. EX-GOVERNOR JOHN M. PALMER of 11- linois has announced himself as a Dem ocratic candidate for the Presidency. He was elected Governor of Illinois as a Republican in 1868, in 1812 he be came a Liberal and went off with the Greeley crowd, and from them gravi tated into the Democratic party, where he now figures as an ultra States rights man. IF the President and the Senate do not soon agree on the matter of the appointment and confirmation of Cen sus Supervisors, there is likely to be no enumeration in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois and several other States. The Democratic Senate is trying to force the President into nominating a centain number of its partisans, and such men only as they dictate. ALL the effort before the Pardon Board at Harrisburg, last Saturday, seems to have been to save Mr. Keni ble, one of the defendants. Many let ters were written and speeches made for him, aDd but very few for Mr. Rumberger and the other defendants. They were perhaps of less political account. But this shows a wrong sen timent. One man is as good as an other before the law, or should be. THE confirmation of certain Census Supervisors for this State still hangs fire in the Senate, which has the effect of delaying the appointment of enu merators in the districts already pro vided with Supervisors. The hitch is understood to be a political one as be tween the two Pennsylvania Senators, and is heaviest in the Lancaster and Philadelphia districts. The latest from Lancaster is that the name of Mr. Bnowden has been forwarded, as a compromise for that Supervisorship, in order that the list for the State may In completed at the earliest possible mo ment. * No Opinion. The Eagle , of this place, has not had a word to say, so far, as to the bribery caaes at Harrisburg or the attempted pardon of the convicted parties. Why is this ? Has it no information for its readers on that subject? Nothing to say in behalf of the honor and interest of the Republican party of this State ? Speak out, Thomas, now—the case is over. In a Dilemma. Although the committee of the Craw ford county Republicans has addressed Mr. Robinson for his views and inten tions as a delegate to the Chicago Con vention, yet no answer appears from him to the present time. We learn that he has been wrestling violently with the problem contained in the let- : ter addressed him, and doubts, hesi tates and wavers as to the kind of an answer he should make. The matter worries him, and, knowing the embar rassing position he is in, we deeply sympathize with him in his dilemma. 1 As to voting, between Blaine and Grant, i we have no doubt his feelings are < strcmg for Blaine, and that he would sing i out his name in the National Conven tion like a little man every time, if he i dare do so. But as between Blaine and Cameron, Grant's friend, ah! 1 there's the rub. He can't vote for i both, and be dare not offend his mas- ] ter What, then, shall he do ? A ' happy thought might be to say to the < committee that it was none of their ( business, and deny their right to inter- I rogate him. But that would hardly i work. Better come out, boldly and I fearlessly, and declare that you will obey and honestly carry out the senti ments and instructions of the Republi- 1 cans of this district you, in part, are i to'represent. This is simple duty and 1 is being done all over the State. Come ' out and say you are not bound to vote j according to the dictates of any man, 1 but will represent your constituents t faithfnlly(?) as yon always have done, t Help to give the "unit rule" each a dig aa will end it for all time to come. Jn this course the Republicans of this ( county will say "Bravo! 'well done, \ food fftitttul Mrvwt!'" ] Honor ol tUe State Saved It will be a relief to all law-abiding and good citizens to learn thiit the Pardon Board, in special session at Harrisburg last Saturday, refused to recommend a pardon to Keinble and 1 company, convicted of corrupt solicita- : tion of members of the la; Nevada, May 11: Florida, Michigan and West Virginia, May 12 ; Illinois, May 19. Conventions have already been held in Maine. Rhode Island, Indiana and Kansas, instructing for Blaine ; in New York for Grant, with district delegates left uninstructed ; in Pennsylvania for Grant, as to delegates at large, and disputed and divided as to the district delegates; in Vermont for Edmunds; in North Carolina for Sherman, by districts. The Blaine men confidently claim the leading vote on the first ballot, and unless the southern States instruct pretty solidly for Grant their hopes will he realized. As it looks at pres ent Sherman will divide the south with Graut. Should the southern States however make this nomination the misfortune will be that they cannot help to elect the nominee iu November. DEMOCRATIC. The Democratic National Conven tion is to be held in Cincinnati on June ' 23d. No State Conventions have as yet we believe been held. The Pennsvl- ■ vania one comes off on April 28t h, and ; judging from present appearances will j lie for Tildeu. Allegheny, Lawrence , and other counties have already in structed their delegates for him. GREENBACK. The Pennsylvania Greenback State Convention met at Harrisburg lust week and pronounced in favor of the Qua. ttouuTiok & Wiiyht, ui Mutlev Ciiiaeu: OuU*K, P*., 3K*cc{? 31, XBBO. county, this State, as its choice for President. They are to have a National Convention at Chicago on June 9th. THE COUNTY —CANDIDATES MENTIONED i In this county, a call for the County ! Committee to fix the time for holding I the Primarv election for this year not 1 having as vet l>een made, candidates are slow as to announcing their names The usual time of the Committee meet ing for that purpose, in years like the present, has generally been in the earlv part of April, and the Primaries fixed for about the first of June. We presume it will be the same in this 3'ear, and while no names are to this time announced, yet we hear of the following mentioned as candidates : A Congressman is to be elected this year in this district, Crawford, Mercer and Butler counties. As a proper can didate to be presented by this county the name of Hon. J. David McJunkin is very generally and very favorably mentioned, and, if he consents, will l>e a strong candidate to present to the district conference. A State Senator is also to be elected in this district, composed of the coun ties of Armstrong and Butler. We hear the name of the Hon. A. L. Campbell favorably spoken of for this nomination. He made a good anil faithful member of the lower House of the Assembly a few years ago. There may be other candidates for this nomi nation but as yet we are uot informed of any. Two Assemblymen, or members of the Legislature are also to be chosen this year to represent this county for the coming two years. Mr. William P. Bra ham, of Mercer township, Mr. Thomas Hays, of Fairview, Doctor William Irviu, William S. Waldron and William M. Marshall, of Forward township, are spoken of and we believe are candidates. There may be others but not that we have heard of as yet. A District Attorney is also to be elected this year to serve for the com ing three years. A. T. Black, A. M. Cunningham and K. Marshall, Esqs., will it is said be candidates tor this nomination. An Associate Judge is also to be elected to serve for five years. For this nomination we have heard the names of David Douthett, of Forward township; A. D. Wier. of Huffalo township; Daniel Feidler, of Jackson township, and others mentioned, but we do not know certainly if candidates or not. But no doubt a number of candidates will be brought forward for this position ; and the above is about all we can give our readers at present as to Republican candidates for this year. Sherman and Blaine. Gen. Grosvenor, of Ohio, one of the most prominent politicians of that State, was iu Washington a short time ago, during which time he dined with Sec'y Sherman, Senator Blaine and other leading Republicans. His visit was ostensibly a social one, but little doubt is felt that the real object was to secure an understanding be tween the friends of Blaine and Sher man by which the former will make no effort to secure Ohio for the Maine Senator on conditions that Sherman's delegates to Chicago .-hall be for Blaine as second choice. The most candid of Sherman's friends admit that if the Blaine men should try to carry the Ohio convention it would take very hard work to hold it for the Secretary of the Treasury. But Sherman, of course, could not continue iu the field if his own State did not at least ap |>ear to support him, and, as the Blaine men consider it esseutial to Grant's defeat that Sherman should remain a candidate, it may be considered settled that there will be no open opposition to him in his own State. How Cameron Feels Ovir It. A dispatch from Washington, dated last Monday, says: "Nothing has occurred for a long time to give so much annoyance, to l awake so much uneasiness, iu the j mind of Don Cameron as the failure of < Kemble and his associates to capture a majority of the Pa don Hoard at liar-' risburg. Cameron was bitterly op posed to the prosecution of Kemble I from the first. He denounced and sneered at the reformers, the "theorists in politics" as he calls them, who thought to upset the purchase system, and announced at a semi-political meet ing at Washington, early last summer, his contempt for Wolfe, Mapes and others of that type. Now Wolfe's tri umph and the flight of the bribers, coming so soon upon the Blaine revolt, has made him feel angry and nervous. He has shown this in conversation since Saturday. Mr. Cameron exerted himself to the utmost through every \ agency to have Kemble let oil'. His failure is regarded here as a sign that j he is not so firmly in the saddle in Pennsylvania after all, as was thought." | THE Republican committee of Lan caster county—the Gibraltar of Cen tral Pennsylvania—met recently at the call of the chairman, and provided for an expression of choice for President, and the election of delegates to the Chicago Convention, by a popular vote , of the party, to be polled on the 22d of May. The Grant-Cameron boys named delegates at Harrisburg, and this is a revolt against that dictation. It is claimed that three-fourths of the people of that county are for Blaine, and they ' propose to say so. THE Democratic County "Committee of Lawrence county, on Saturday week | sat down "powerful strong" on Seua i tor Wallace, by selecting a solid Tilden I delegation to the State Convention, i and passing a resolution censuring the j Senator for his course in permitting the j confirmation of Marshal Kerns, of I Philadelphia. The delegates art; D S. Morris, Wm. Gordon and Robert McHride, first, last and all the time Tilden men. ADVICES from fifty-five counties of Kansas show the election of 148 Blaine and 94 Grant delegates to the State Convention. Biaiue had about sisty , Uuyvi'iiy iu tuu ouuvvuuoui PARDONS Uric USED. MEETING OF THE PARDON BOAKO LAST SATURDAY —THF. BOARD A TIE AND PARDONS REFUSED. It had been announced that the Board would meet at ten o'clock, and that hour found a number of persons at the Supreme Court room waiting for the proceedings to begin. Later the time was changed to eleven o'clock. About half past ten District Attorney Hoi linger, for the Commonwealth, ar rived, and was followed shortly after wards by Messrs. Hrewster, Mann, Armstrong, llerr and Weiss, counsel for defense. A shorteousultation anions the latter and an arrangement of the papers to be presented followed, and then a lons wait ensued for the mem bers ol the Hoard to make their appear ance. At eleven o'clock the members of the Hoard entered and took their seats, and Recorder Farr called the cases of Wm. H. Kemble, Kmil .1. Petroff, W. F. Rumberger, Jesse 11. Crawford and Chas. H. Salter, convicted of corrupt solicitation. It was agreed that all should be taken up together. Mr. Hrewster began by readiug a letter from C'. B Moore, Esq., of West Chester, asking for Mr. Kemble's par don, giving a number of reasons why it should be granted, among others that the people themselves were re sponsible for the demands made during the passage of a bill by the third house, because they sent men to the legisla ture who insisted 'that their votes should be purchased : it was unfair to punish Kemble for what everybody else has been doing for years. Mr. Brewster, after reading other letters and petitions, addressed the Hoard as follows: May it please your Honors: We de sire to call your attention to the fact that we have tiled, in connection with the petitions, all the papers required bv your rules; that we have given the full advertisement prescribed and that we have in all particulars complied with your established regulations. In addition to the matters exhibited bv your record, it is proper for me to present to you a few suggestions which appear to my learned colleagues and myself as worthy of your considera tion. You will observe that four of these defendants have pleaded guilty, and that Mr. Kemble accompanied this ac tion with a protest, iu which he sol emnly disclaimed all imputation of guilt. The charge of the learned judge to the grand jury placed a construction upon the statute which satisfied the defendants and their counsel that they were technically guilty of a violation of the law. They were therefore unwilling to occupy the public time with a contest, ami under the advice of counsel they filed the pleas and protest which are before you. We are now here to ask you to rec ommend the Governor to pardon these defendants for the following reasons: First. The offence is alleged to have been commenced in reference to a bill of great importance, and which excited a large amount of public interest. It was severely contested by its oppo nents, and was urged with great per sistence by its friends'. The Board is doubtless satisfied that the offense was committed under the pressure of great public excitement and without a full apprehension on the part of the defend ants of the criminality involved iu the means which they attempted to affect the passage of the bill. Whilst the offense of corrupt solicita tion is one of great magnitude and not to lie excused—we desire to impress upon you the fact that this is the first prosecution under the statute; and that in view of the construction which it has since received from the bench, it is manifest that the defendants did not apprehend the full extent of the liabilities they incurred. We respectfully submit that the de fendants should have the benefit of their disclaimer of any intent to violate the law. And we believe that their pardon may be granted without doing violence to public morals of lessening the force of these convictions in arrest ing the evil against which the statute is directed. Second. The result of these cases has so directed the public mind to this cla~s of offenses, and has so empha sized the popular condemnation of all unlawful means to influence legislation that it may be fairly assumed such meth ods will not hereafter obtain in the legislation of this Commonwealth. The evil being arrested by the con viction of the accused, the administra tion of public justice has been upheld and the State casting aside all viudict iveness can well afford to stay her hand now that she may be the Iwtter able to strike hereafter, should the of fense be repeated The purpose of the Commonwealth having been fully attained, the justice which is temjiered with mercy, will lie well illustrated by an exercise of the clemency for which we now petition. Third. The defendants are entitled to that consideration and respect which previous good character should always command. Nor should we ever lose, sight of the fact that every farm and house in Pennsylvania owes to Mr. Kemble the credit of having devised and perfected a system of State finances and of corporate taxation which has placed the Commonwealth in a posi tion of which her citizens may well be proud, and which has relieved every land owner within her boundaries from a heavy burden. Mr. Armstrong, for the application of Mr. Rumberger, urged the pardon on the ground that the defendants dis claim criminality in their intent and they are entitled to the benefit of an unassailed character. District Attorney Hollinger, in op position to the pardons, said that the Commonwealth does not delight in the downfall of any of its citizens, but when men violate the laws and are convicted they must receive the sen tence of the law. That is all that i 3 asked for. We simply ask that the Board will not avert the strong arm of the law which will wipe out the stigma oil the State. He read the protest prepared by counsel as follows: TUE PROTEST. To the Honorable, the Board of Pardons : The undersigned, represent- j ing the Commonwealth in the prose cutions for corrupt solicitation of mem- j hers of the Legislature, in the Court! of Quarter Sessions of Dauphin county, l learning that applications have been | made for the pardon of the defendants, i beg leave to file the following protest' against the granting of such pardons: | The principal reasons usually urged ; iu liwor \A \bv ptwivu U uitv vuuvjvtuU i iof an offense, are, either that there is i some doubt as to his guilt, or that at the date of his application for pardon he has already undergone so much ol bis term of imprisonment, as to be suf ficiently punished for the crime of which he has been convicted. In the present instance neither of these rea sons can tie urged. Four of the de fendants have admitted guilt by plead in? guilty and the other has been coti victed by the verdict of a jury, after a trial conducted so fairly that a motion for a new trial was not even made. There can !*■ no doubt therefore, as to sruilt; and so far from it being true that sufficient punishment has already been undergone to atone for the crime, the fact is, that uot only have none of the defendants yet been sentenced, but they are attempting by the aid of your Board, and in defiance of the Court lie fore which they were tried, to relieve themselves even of the necessity of I submitting to sentence, and it seems to i be but a mockery of justice for a de fendant to plead guilty of a great crime, and then attempt to procure a pardon before the judgment of the Court has been pronounced against him. As a reply to the special reasons al leged in the applications for pardon, it will lie enough to say that, so far from it lieing true either that a disinterested zeal on behalf of what were supposed to be honest claims of Allegheny county, led any of the defendants to violate the law in his eagerness to se cure the passage of the act of Assem bly. or that, having violated it, he frankly admitted his offense before the committee of the admission by a prompt plea of guilty before the Court —the indisputable facts are that one of the defendants admitted on oath be fore the committee of the House of Representativea that he was employed in the matter as tiie attorney for a railway corporation—that nearly all of the parties denied under oath any guilty knowledge or practices—that, based upon this denial, bills of indict ment have been found against them for perjury, and that for months every technical defect was taken advantage *>f. and every possible application for delay made in the Court in order to avoid or postpone trial, and the plea of guilty was only entered at a time when a peremptory order bad been made that there should be no further delay, and when the defendants were about to be confronted with conclusive and overwhelming evidence of guilt. Under such circumstances, to grant a pardon would imply that, in the opinion of your honorable Hoard, either the crime charged upon the de fendants is not deseiviug of punish ment, or that the defendants, them selves, are to be treated as if they possessed a license to commit crime with impunity. It must, however, be admitted that the offense charged is one of the most serious and aggravated known to the law. So heinous was it considered that it is prohibited by the Constitution, as well as by the statute law. We cannot but believe that your Hoard will hesitate loug, and weigh well the consequences of your action, before attempting to treat both the Constitution and act of Assembly as so much waste paper. Hut in the particular case underconsideration, the crime heinous in itself was. if possible, aggravated by the attempt to resort to it for the purpose of despoiling the Treasury of the Commonwealth of a very large amount of public money, and if immunity from punishment should be granted to the self-confessed agents of this attempted wrong, it will lie difficult to escape the conclu sion that those who constitute your Hoard and who have been elected or appointed to exalted public positions to represent and defend the interests of the people, do uot consider it to be a crime worthy of punishment for any one to debauch the Legislature as part of an attempt to rob the public treas urv. As the parties are clearly guilty, as they have not yet beeu sentenced, and as their crime, serious in itself, is, if possible, aggravated by the purpose for which it was resorted to, it follows that if a pardon is granted it must be out of some personal regard for, or deference to the defendants themselves, which places them above and beyond the Constitttion and the law, aud prac tically invests them with a license to commit crime. The presence of a criminal class, even when amenable to the law, is at all times dangerous to the public welfare, but if there is to be thrown upon the community a class licensed to commit crime, and protected in the eu jovment of this license by the highest officers of the State, it would indeed seem that self-Government is a failure, and that the boasted safeguard? of the Constitution, the laws, and the judi ciary are alike powerless for the pro tection of society. We cannot believe it to be possible that the effort to secure a pardon will lie successful. The prosecutions orig inally directed to be instituted by an order of th<- House of Representatives have, so far as they depended upon the action of those appointed to rep resent the Commonwealth, been brought to a successful issue. Able and fearless judges, with honest and intelligent juries, have alike done their part to sustain the tottering fabric of! society, and to vindicate the claims of j justice. The honor of the Common-1 wealth is now committed to the cus tody of the gentlemen composing your 1 Board, aud we cannot but express the fervent hope that they will preserve it untarnished HHUKISBIKU, March 20, 1880. Mr. Ilollinger presented petitions ! remonstrating agaiu.-t the pardons j from Philadelphia, Mechanicsburg, i West Fairview, Pittsburgh, Washiug- j ton, Crawford county, Mercer county, Columbia, Northampton, Monroe, But ler, Schuykill, Snyder, Wayne, l,e higb, Dauphin. Berks, and in fact from almost every county in the State, containing thousands of names of citi zens. Mr. Uolli nger, after reading the [ protest, announced that he had a num- j Iter of other petitions to present to the j Governor, and then closed. I'Alt HONS HEVt'SED This concluded the arguments and j the Board went into executive session, i For nearly two hours the meuiliers dis-1 cussed the situation before arriving at 1 a decision. Messrs. Quay and Dunkel \ favored the pardon of the five appli- j cants aud Messrs. Palmer and Stone | opposed it, the former with considers- J ble feeling.

The Attorney General took a similar view of the matter. Win n the decision was reached it was made publie by Re corder Farr. The decision was a great disappoint ment to the counsel for the defense. a.~ they had anticipated a favorable ver dict The confidence exhibited Friday night showed no abatement Saturday. Representative Ruinberjer was the only defendant in the city, ami he ex pected a more consoling deliverance. Counsel for the prosecution had pre dicted for several days that the board would '«• equally divided, but at la.«t they began to fear that their expecta tions .would not be realized, owing, no doubt, to the unbounded confidence of the attorney s for the defense. Senator Edmund's Bill to Count the Electoral Vote. Considering the great peril of the country during the last Presidential Count. Congress is most blameworthy in not providing a rule to govern the reception and declaration of the result of the coming election. The bill of fered by Senator Edmunds seems .fair; this bill directs that each State may decide, at any time before the second Monday ol the January following their appointment—that being the day for the meeting of Electors—any contro versy as to appointment of Electors, and that Electors who present eerti lieates of appointment from State Ex ecutives shall have their votes counted bv Congress. For counting the Elec toral vote, both houses of Congress are to convene in joint session, with the President of the Senate in the Chair, the second Wednesday iu February after the meeting of the Electors. All objections to votes are to be made in writing, and to be considered by the houses separately, a concurrent vote being necessary to the rejection of an Electoral vote. In case of two returns having been received from a State, only tho»e votes shall be counted which the two houses, acting sepa rately, airree in accepting, and the votes which are certified by Executive signature shall be received as the true Electoral vote of a State. The joint session of the houses is to be without debate, and no motion is to be iu order except to withdraw. No recess can be taken except to decide a question con cerning an Electoral vote, and a recess can be extended no longer than to the next day. If the count is not finished after live days of the joint session, no further recess can be taken. It is quite certain however that the Demo cratic Congress will not pass the bill. They intend to steal the Presidency, aud don't want any such law in their way. Ridiculous Plea. j Mr. Keruble, in bis plea for pardon I previous to sentence, argues, that as he and his co-corruptionists now staud convicted before the world of one of the gravest of crimes, and as the ob ject aimed at by the criminal law has been atttained, and they have all suf fered enough already, and as their conviction will serve as a lesson to others not to enirage in similar work in the future, he urges that they ought not to be lined or imprisoned, but per mitted to go soot free. If such a mis erable plea as this avails with the Board of Pardons, and these convicted j and sell convicted men are set at lib i ertv, even before the sentence of law j is pronounced upon them, there is not, a lobbyist, norcorruptionist, nor "roos ; ter" in the whole Common wealth but would chuckle clear down into his boots, and commit the same crime Kemble & Co. were sruilty of. at the very first opportunity. Why should Tweed in New York, and .Morton in Philadelphia, be held tightly within the clutches of the law, for simply stealing and embezzeling, and these men, guilty of a greater and wider reaching crime, that of going to the fountains of law and justice, corrupt ing the legislator, and unsettling the very foundations of government itself, go free? No. They should not be suffered to escape. They have been adjudged guilty of an oU'enae which cries aloud fur the severest punish ment. And it is. to be hoped that the Board of Pardons, however it might under less aggravating circumstances incline to the side of mercy, will be animated and governed by the one jjreat overshadowing sentiment, that justice must rule supreme, though the heaveus fall.— Beaver Tune*. Conkliuga Favorite Poet. Albany (N. Y.)
