Henry Green, OF SOUTHAMPTON COUNTY. FOR AUDITOR GENERAL, Hon. John A. Lemon, OF BLAIR COCXTY. IINIBLICII PRtMtRIES. SATURDAY, MAY 29th. THERE is also trouble in the iNew York delegation to Chicago, a number of the delegates declaring their inde pendence of the "Unit rule" and for Blaine. It begins to look serious for both Cameron and Conkling. The "Unit Rule." The Republicans of New Hamp shire at their State Convention last week passed the following resolution as to the so called "unit rule ".BmoW, That any unit rule which seeks to compel a delegate to vote for a candidate not his choice, or of his constituents, is tyrannous and unrcpublican, and we request our delegates to Chicago to vote on all questions as to leave every delegate free to follow his unfettered and honest judgment." • Republican conventions in other States have passed resolutions similar in sentiment. In this State it will be recollected that the unit rule was put through, instructing all our delegates to vote for Gen. Grant at Chicago, and notwithstanding the fact that many of the district delegates refuse to be bound by it, and some have been com pelled to come out and promise to rep resent their people and not Don. Cam eron's State Convention, yet Mr. Cam eron says to this day that the "unit rale" is binding and that he expects every delegate to Chicago to obey it, and that the delegation therefore will be "wZid" for Grant. This, as we intimated last week.itis intended tobringabout by getting a Grant organization of the Chicago Convention and ruling that in a State which favored the unit rule the chairman of that delegation will hare the right to cast the whole vote according to State action. Where then will be found our delegate, who says he wants to vote for Blaine ? Ac cording to this he will get no vote. Did he understand this before writing his recent long letter that the County Committee meeting forced out ? Why the Change ? The condition of the Eagle man of this place, Mr. Thomas Robinson, is most deplorable and sad. Something ig wrong with him again, and last week he renews his wailings. He is such an honest, innocent person, that all pity him. The trouble now seems to be about his Congressional aspira tions. The people have brought out a worthy and good man for Congress, Mr. McJunkin, and now Mr. Robinson sees his chances fade away in the dis tance. Hence he is again complain ing. First, he says Mr. McJunkin's name was announced too soon. He was in favor of a "quiet campaign," he says. And he wanted all "fair and courteous." Everybody knows he is a "fair and courteous" man in politics— perfectly fair—and perfectly honest He complains that we said a kind word for his competitor when men tioning all who had informed us they would be candidates. He came out in his next paper, however, and made an unmanly and untruthful assault upon Mr. McJunkin's republicanism as soon as his name was mentioned, and then, before any answer could appear, he sends friends to us asking us to make no reply and take no notice of the mat ter. We complied with their request and let that pass, as we have hundreds of similar cases. He admits last week that the CITIZEN was quiet and did not respond when in fact it should. He seems to fear the CITIZEN, and now complains that we made any mention of the candidates. What are the facts ? Simply, that at the time we done so, all the candidates who had to that time informed us they would or might be such, were mentioned. We made no choice among them, giving simply all the news heard from at that d. te. The seven for Assembly were given, and the three for District Attor ney, and two or three for Associate Judge. He says we had favorites among them. How could we when we gave the names of all ? No, the trouble is, his, Mr. Robinson's name, was not mentioned. And the reason was, be was denying about here that he was a candidate. He may, as usual, have been a candidate, but in a "quiet and courteous" way, known only to those on the out skirts of the county. The simple explanation of the whole matter is that he was planing to steal honor from the party and, like in other eases, was smoked out. One other matter only in the long complaint in his paper last week, do we think now worthy of notice. And that is, to say, that we edit our own paper and am alone responsible for all of a political nature appearing therein. In this respect we are unlike him, who edits a paper in and under cover of the name of another. We consult with Jlepablican friends and are glad to ' have their counsel, but on week days and in due season. In this respect we are also unlike him. At the present time it is known he is in close consul tation and intrigue with certain Demo crats of this place, even to the extent of visiting their houses on the Sabbath day. He seems to be watching our outgoings and incomings, or at least has pimps and spies upon our foot steps, to inform him of our wherea bouts. This is in keeping with his character, as all know it, but in whose office he may have seen us as he states, or wherever he may have been told we were lately seen, one thing is certain, we have not been seen in "solemn counsel" with Democratic wire work ers, and that on Sunday at their houses. And this is in answer to his criticism of last week. The idea of such a man crying for "fairness" or for "quiet" and peace, is simply de ception and intended under deceptive words to again deceive the Republi cans of this county. What Does It Mean ? Be on the Look Out. The following appeared from Mr. Robinson in the Eagle of last week: Primary Election. The Republicans of Butler county are re quested to meet in their several election dis tricts, as designated by the County Committee, on Saturday the 29th of May, between the hours of one o'clock V. M. and eight P. M., of said day, and vote by ballot for the following officers, viz: One person for Congress. One person for State Senate. Two persons for Assembly. One person for Associate Judge. One person for District Attorney. One person for County Surveyor. One person for Return Judge. A numerical list is to be kept of the voters and the tickets numbered. THOMAS ROBINSON, Chairman. The above was sent to this office and we declined publishing it for two reasons. First, Mr. Robinson has no authority or right under any of our primary rules to put out such a paper, j Nor was there any necessity for it even if any of our rules allowed it. The County Committee had met and done that work, fixed the primaries, etc., and the papers, both Eagle and CITIZEN, had standing in them for weeks a list of all the officers to be voted for, and thousands of tickets had already been printed with all the offi ces to nominate for named thereon. Why then this extra official, uncalled for notice? Why does he attempt to add to and supplement the work of the County Committee ? The secret will be seen in the two closing lines, and to this, in the second place, we call the special attention of the Republicans of the county. It assumes to direct that "A numerical list is to kept of the voters and the tickets numbered" Now what is "a numerical list?" Simply a list of figures or numbers, 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on. According to that unheard of innovation for holdiug our primaries a list may come in to the meeting of Return Judges on the 31st, inst., with nothing but the number of votes cast, without the names of those casting them. To illustrate, there may be, say fifty or a hundred Demo cratic votes cast at one of our polling places at the coming primary, duly numbered but without the names op posite the numl>ers. Who then could tell who they were, Democrats or Re publicans ? That is "a numerical list," and if objected to in Convention it could he answered in favor of its re ception that the Chairman of the County Convention had so ordered it. If it means a list of voters why not say so ? Our rule on the subject, and our only rule, requires a "list of voters" to be returned. This is our practice. But he further adds and orders that "the tickets be numbered." Where did he get that authority, and who ever heard of that before now ? We have no such rule as requiring at our pri maries "the tickets numbered." This, it is surmised by some old Republi can friends who have brought it to our notice, is an attempt to pry into and ascertain how every man votes at our coming primary. The secrecy of his ballot would be thus distroyed. The party has never authorized all this change. Our rule in substance directs "a list of all voting to be kept, which list, with the talley papers, and the votes or ballots themselves, shall be sealed up by the Judge and clerks holding the election, and handed to the Return Judge and by him laid be fore the Convention," etc. Before there is any alteration of these rules it must be done by the party acting through its County Committee, and we think it will be a long time before such changes are made as are indicated in this unusual manner. We have called attention to the above at the request of some of the leading Republicans of the county. The present primaries will be held in the usual way and none but Republicans should lie allowed to vote at them. Let all see to it that there is a fair primary. THE familiar name of J. D. McJun kin, of Butler, appears in our announce ment column for Congress in the 26th district. Mr. McJunkin is a gentle man well known to hundreds of our readers as an upright, honest gentle man, a good lawyer, and one in whom the people have confidence; they knowing him to be above the law cun ning of a wire working, pedagogue politician. The Republicans of Butler county arc thoroughly aroused to the necessity of sending honest and effi cient officials to represent them and there is no doubt but great care and prudence will be exercised at the com ing primary election, which will be held May 29tb, Zsßo, from 1 to 8 o'clock p. m.— Parker April 30.

THE Republican papers of the Twenty-sixth district having called out Mr. Thomas Robinson, one of the delegates to the Chicago Convention, and secured a Blaine pledge from him, are now after Mr. John I. Gordon, the other delegate. Mr. Gordon, however, declines to be forced into any exposure of his feelings, and he is performing the remarkable feat of editing a weekly newspaper in such a way as to keep his readers in ignorance of his views. —Philadelphia Times. The Times must take that back. It is true that Mr. Gordon had been verv reticent, but the last issue of Ins paper, the Mercer Dispatch fixes his position. He says in the Dispatch of the 7th iust., and we were glad to see it, that "four years ago the Dispatch fa vored the nomination of Blaine. He was then the choice of the Republicans of this county with almost the same unanimity that he is to-day. \\ hile the Republicans of Mercer county will give a hearty support to the nominee of the Chicago Convention, we still hope that Senator Blaine will be nom inated." Thus both of the delegates from this Congressional district have finally ex pressed themselves for Blaine. The only remaining question is, will they get a chance to vote for him ? Or will they be told the "unit rule' was adopted at our State Convention, at which they were present and that, by that rule the majority of the delegation, through its chairman, has the right to throw the vote of the whole delegation as said majority may determine ? We will see. THE BRIBEP-Y PARDONS. DISTRICT ATTORNEY IIOLLINGER ON THE ACTION OF THE BOARD THE POSI TION IN WHICH THE COMMONWEALTH IS PLACED BY THE HASTY ACTION OF THE BOARD —WHY THE PROSECUTION WAS NOT REPRESENTED. HARRISBURG, May 4, 1880. The people of the State of Pennsyl vania are led to believe by many of the 'newspapers that the prosecution in the bribery cases assented to the manner in which Kemble and his fellow unfor tunates were pardoned, as evidenced by the fact that the Commonwealth was not even represented before the board at the hearing. This might be a proper conclusion to draw but for the fact that the Board of Pardons vi olated at least two of their rules, and thereby prevented the Commonwealth from being heard or from even know ing what was to be heard. Rule third is as follows: Notice of the application (for pardon) nirst be given to the Judge who tried t!i3 case and to the District Attorney or attorney who pros ecuted, stating when the application will be made, and the grounds or reasons upon which the application is based and no other grounds than those contained in such notice will be en tertained by the board. No portion of this rule was observed except that the District Attorney was notified, on the afternoon of the 29th of April, to appear before the board on the following day at 10, a. m ; this when he was engaged in the Quarter Sessions trying cases The grounds upon which the application was made were not disclosed. Rule 6 concludes as follows : And no application will be heard or consid ered unless the same and papers upon which it is based have been filed at least ten days before said session, and in no instance will this rule be relaxed. This rule was relaxed. After so much relaxation we might conclude that the honorable Board of Pardons meant to treat the proceeding as a a rehearing but for the following, rule, the seventh: No applicatson that has been refused by the l>oard will be reheard or reconsidered unless substantialjgrounds for reopening the cue are formally presented to and approved by the board; ana when submitted again the publica tion and notices required by rule second (two week's notice in newspaper) and third (notice to district attorney, with grounds) must l>e made anew, and proof thereof, together with additional reasons filed, according to provisions of rule sixth. The Attorney General, from whom the board would naturally get the law of the case, was not even present to hear what the Commonwealth's coun sel might have to say. Indeed, the recommendations for pardon must have been signed by him before, in vi olation of rule 11, which says: Xo ppp!icf»tion will be considered if present ed to any individual member of the board. This wholesale disregard of the rights of the Commonwealth enabled the petitioners, upon false suggestion, to have recited that the sentence of the Court of Quarter Sessions of Dau phin county was illegal, inasmuch as it condemned the petitioners to impris onment at the penitentiary at hard la bor, when in fact they were sentenced to separate confinement at labor, as di. rected and declared in regard to all crimes punishable by imprisonment in the penitentiary. There are very few crimes now mentioned in our statute books for which a person can be sen tenced to hard labor. But it is said that these men could not be sentenced to the penitentiary at all, as the law does not so provide—it does provide for not exceeding two years' imprison ment, and does not say where, leaving that to the discretion of the Court. On looking over the penal code of 1860 we observe there ninety-three distinct of fences, for which persons are daily sen tenced in some of tho courts of the Commonwealth to imprisonment in the pententiary ; said code does not make mention of that prison, this including perjury, falsifying deeds, sending chal lenges, sodomy, bigamy, incest, bribe ry, including members of the Legisla ture, for fiye years; bribery of voters, two years, lottery, common gamblers, gambling with public monej', five years; embezzlement, five years; im porting convicts, murder in second de gree, manslaughter, mayhem, five years; rape, attempting to commit; robbery, larceny, horse stealing, false pretense, three years; conspiracy, fraudulent insolvency, burglary, arson, forgery and many others might be ciu ed. In very many of these offences there is no mention of separate con finement at labor, yet no Court over hesitated to impose that sentence, for such is declared to be the penitentiary discipline in the statutes regulating that prison. It is said that this is im posing an infamous punishment; such it is; but the crime is infamous, so treated of in the Constitution of 1874. Let us now suppose that the Court wttfc i* error in sentencing to the pen itentiary, wiiai jpfts the legal remedy ? At any time during the icrm sen tence could have been amended by Judges Pearson and Henderson, and , surely would have been so done if the defendants could have satisfied the Court, as they did the Board of Par dons, that there was error. Judge Pearson never hesitates to reverse himself when ho is convinced of hav iug made a mistake. If this point had failed there was an appeal to the Su preme Court, in which the principle obtains "The common law embodies in itself sufficient reason and common sense to reject the monstrous doctrine that a prisoner whose guilt is estab lished by a regular verdict is to escape punishment altogether because the court committed an error in passing the sentence." If the Board of Pardons regarded it as proper they had the undoubted right to give relief in these cases, but it was not fair to the prosecution to have it done in a corner; it was not fair to the court of Dauphin count}' —than which there is none purer in the Common wealth—to have their construction of the law set aside without a hearing, and the people of the Commonwealth have a right to know exactly v- hy their officers, in the performance of a public duty, act in a particular way. If, therefore, substantial legal reasons existed for the pardon they should have been revealt V Let each public servant bear his own burden. The court of Dauphin county will stand by her record.

EDITORS CITIZEN :—lt is reported here that Mr. Thomas Robinson, one of the candidates for our nomination for Congress, while recently in one of the other counties of this district, was seen in company with a candidate of that county for Congress, and said to to a gentleman who met him soon after, in very confidential terms, that that candidate of the other county, naming him, would be the district nominee. As we have heard it he, Robinson, is running here in this county for the benefit of the candidate of another county. Can you give us any light on the subject ? PARKER TP. We cannot give more than what our correspondent appears to have. The same report has reached here and was recently told us by a gentleman in whom we can place entire confidence and therefore we believe it true, and the more so as it is known Mr. Robin son recently made a visit to one of the other counties of this Congressional district. However, we think it matters not, as the Republicans of this county have already made up their minds to vote for Mr. McJunkin for Congress at our coming primary, a man who they know will not sell them out. A CARD. BUTLER, PA., May 10, 1880. Messrs. Editors Citizen : SIRS—A few weeks since, there was published in the Eagle, an article re flecting upon my loyalty to the Repub lican Party. I had intended to pay no attention to it, believing that my re cord was sufficiently knowu to the voters of the county, but at the instance of some friends, in the interest of truth, and because the indiscreet friends of my rival have been making specific charges in the same direction, you will oblige me by inserting in your columns the following brief reference to some ot my political acts. I voted for Pres. Lincoln (my first vote) in 18G0, and in 18G4. I voted twice for Gen Grant, in 1868 and 1872, and for Pres. Hayes in 1876. I expect to vote for the nominee of the Chicago Convention. I voted twice for Gov. Curtin, twice for G>v. Geary, twice for Gov. Hartrauft and for Gov Hoyt. During the years I resided in Venango county, I was three times elected to the House of Representatives of Penn sylvania, serving in the sessions of 1870, '7l, '72. I refer to my official acts and votes while there. My Repub licanism has never been heretofore questioned. I might go on to the end, giving my votes for particular persons, but to answer two specific charges made against me, to wit: that I voted against our last two candidates for sheriff, Byerly and McCreary, I sag I voted for both, and made speeches all over the county for the latter. I have no concealments about any vote lever cast, and will answer any questions any votors desire to ask at my office ; have no apology to make for any polit ical act of my life, but on the contrary, under the same circumstances would do, the same things again. I have sought no newspaper notoriety, and now seek none; am no editor, nor do I control any newspaper; I am under no obliga tions which will prevent me from going to a Congressional Conference in position to claim for Butler county all her proper claims and rights, I have sent a copy of this letter to the Eagle. J. D. MCJUNKIN. Letter From Kansas. EDITORS CITIZEN—I wish to write a few lines, if you will please give them space in the CITIZEN. Some of my kind friends, perhaps, would like to Lear how I like Kansas, and I wish to inform them through the CITIZEN that 1 like it well, and would not go back to Butler to live. Times are bet ter here than there; wages are from fifteen to twenty dollars a month for a laboring hand on a farm, and the work is not so hard here as it is out there. Most of people plow with a sulky plow and three horses and turn a sixteen inch furrow. The man lam working for don't have a sulky plow, but has a sixteen inch plow which I drive three horses in, and plow from three to three aud one-half acres a day. Another hand and myself are putting out one hundred acres of corn this spring oqr selves without any help. We have a marker, that we mark three rows at once, that we ride on, aud a planter that we cross it with thit drops two rows at ouce, One drives the planter with two horses aud one drops. Wo plant from twelve to thirteen acres a day, and we can plow from morning till night and never touch a stump or stone. I would advise any person to come out here that could have three or four hundred dollars when they get here, but it would be better to have a thousand dollars to start on, to buy stock aud a farm with. The farmers make most of their money out of stock. The man I am working for, had twen ty-five large fat steers and thirty-five head of hogs that he sold for sixteen hundred dollars.

This disease like many others is regarded as incurable. It is not so. If it is taken in time it is as easily cured as a wart or a corn. We know very well that it is a fearful disease and will eat'away until it destroys life, that is if it is neglected, but if it is attended to when it first makes its appearance, or soon after, there is no trouble in eradicating it from the system. Persons will have to be here during part of the treatment, consequently there is no use writing to me for information whether it can be cured without ray seeing the case.
