GARFIELD'S official majority in the

is just about the same as in Pennsyl

HARPER'S Weekly calls attention to
the scandalous manner in which nom
inations have been made this year —
that is, solely on account of the
amount of money which tbe candidates
could and would put into the canvass.
This has certainly been a growing evil
of late years, and it is one that will be
very difficult to check unless through
the concerted action of the best citi
zens—those who are not aspirants for
office, and are in earnest for this re
form. When office is only to be ob
tained by those who own or control
great wealth, we have already drifted
into a method of government that is
neither Republican nor Democratic.
But this is the change that has already
come about in nearly all of our large
cities, and many country districts.
Both parties have, during th<i past
few years, made it a rule to nominate
rich men for the most important offices
—men able and willing to spend money
freely for the cause of the party. The
candidate may be able in other re
spects, or be may not be. It is an evil
that must be checked soon if we are to
bare anything like good and pure gov
ernment, for it not only prevents the
best men from taking office but it de
moralizes our public life by corruption
of electors. The remedy for this must
exist, and it must be sought for by
thinking and patriotic voters; and it
can be found none too soon.
PENNSYLVANIA OFFICIAL VOTE
The complete official vote of Penn
sylvania at the late election amounts
to 874,783; being an increase on the
vote of 1876 of the large amount of
115,790. Garfield electors received
444,704; Hancock's 407,428; Wea
ver's (Grenback) 20,068 ; Dow, (Tem
perance) 1,939. Garfield over Han
cock, 37,276 ; over all, 14,625.
OONOBB3BIONAL APPORTION
MENT.
Under the law a new apportionment
of Representatives in Coiigressmay be
made at the the coming session of Con
gress, this winter. Whether or not
this may be done will depend on
whether tbe late Census is in such
completed shape as to be reported to
that body. If so completed the pres
ent Congress will have the pow. r to
act in tbe matter. This action will
consist mainly in fixing the ratio of
future representation; that is, what
□ umber of population it will establish
for a member. Tbe present ratio is
131,425 citizens, or population to a
member, which made Congress, since
the last apportionment under the Cen
sus of 1870, consistsof 293 members. If
this number of members is still retain
ed, the next ratio for a member, it is
stated, will lie about 170,000 of a pop
ulation. This will decrease the num
ber of members from some States and
enlarge it in others. The Western
States will train some members and the !
X .rthero and Eastern ones lose some.
Pennsylvania would luse two in num
ber. This will require a remodeling
of the districts of this St'.<te. and an en
largement of most of them This re
modeling has to be done by the State
Legislatures, which can only act on
the same this winter if Congress suc
ceeds in first fixing the ratio, which
determines the number of the members.
If Congress does not, this winter, so
fix the future number of its body, then
the State Legislatures can do nothing
this winter. In addition to the new
Congressional apportionment, soon to
be made, the different States have also to
make new apportionments, under the
lave Census, for State purposes, to wit:
Assemble, State Senators and Judi
cial districts. It is supposed that
this will l>e done by our Legislature
this winter, but not necessarily so,
as we understand it. At all events it
will depend on whether the lute Cen
sus is completed and reported to and
approved by Congress at its coming
session.
THAT CHINESE LETTEA.
Shortly before the election a letter
was published in Xew \ ork, purport
ing to have been written by Gen. Gar
field last January, and in which Chi
nese labor was favored. Gen. Garfield
instantly pronounced it a base forgery,
in strong and direct language. Not
withstanding bis charge that it was
forgery, the Democratic National Com
mittee persisted in circulating it and
claiming it was genuine. \V itnesses
were procured by them and induced to
swear to facts, going to show that it
was geriine. These witnesses were
immediately arrested by the Republi
cans for perjury. The principal ones
of them then confessed their perjury
and implicated leading Democrats in
hiring them to commit it. And thus
they are exposed. To defeat they
have added what is worse—dishonor
and disgrace. The so-called Chinese
labor letter is proven now to have
been a base forgery, and leading Dem
ocrats of the country stand in a very
unenviable position before the country.
Verily "honesty is the best policy," in
politics, as well as in everytLing eUe.
UNITED STATES SENATOR.
The Allegheny Evening Mail, in an
able article, favors Hon. Thomas M.
Bayne for United States Senator. Col.
Bayne at present represents tb-i north
ern district of Allegheny county in
Congress composed in part of Alle
gheny city, and is therefore nearer to
us than any candidate yet named out
side of this county. He has made a
record in Congress that is attracting
attention and is regarded as one of the
most promising and rising public men
of this State. He is able, reliable and
deserving, and we do not think strange
that his constituents, who are justly
prou i of him, are pressing him for
ward.
There are other names mentioned in
the western part of the State, among
them Col. Thompson of this county,
who was recommeudcd by our last
County Convention, and who our
members in the coining Legislature
will of course give their first support
to and aid in all honorable ways pos
sible. Judge Agnew has also many
friends in this county for the Senator
ship, and if he should consent to accept
tbe place, and should he be chosen, we
would have a Senator of such charac
ter and ability that the whole State
could be proud of. Lieut. Gov Stone,
of Warren county, has also friends
here who would like to see him ad
vanced. There are also others in the
Western part of the State spoken of.
Outside of what may be termed the
western part there is no name more
frequently mentioned, aor any man
that has the friends here that Hon.
Galusha A. Grow has for tbe coining
Senatorsbip In fact many of the west'
ern counties have already instructed for
him, among them tbe strong counties
of Mercer, Crawford, Erie, Lawrence,
Venango, etc. He is the favorite of
all tho Northern tier of counties from
McKeau to Susquehanna, aud of many
in the middle ami eastern parts of the
State. It is claimed that he, by rea
son of his great services and ability,
deserves the Senatorsbip and should
now have it. It is a choice gift of the
party and should always lie filled by a
man of decided ability and unques
tioned good character.

This list shows a Republican gain
of two members—Scran ton in the
Twelfth and Campbell iu the Seven
teenth, but a loss of General Harry
White iu tbe Twenty-fifth, which
makes the net gain one. The Green
backer, Yocuin, in the Twentieth,
gives way to Curtin, Democrat, but
this is a fair stand-off. The loss of
Itvon iu the Thirteenth district, who
makes way for lirumm, Greeubackor,
comes off the Deincrats, K» thu former
was an out-and-out Bourbon, and the
new man is a Republican-Grecnbacker.

This week's CITIZEN commences a
new volume, being No. 1, of Vol 18.
It is therefore entering upon its eigh
teenth year. We have been connected
with it since April 1869, eleven years
ago, la-t April. Its circulation now
in the county is almost three times
that it »vas whi nwe purchased it. It
is our intention to still enlarge the
circle of its readers, and to that end
we invito the co-operation of all friends-
During the time we have been editing
it we have passed through some excit
ing and important contests, both local
and general, in all of which we have
the satisfaction of knowing that we
supported the honest and the right
cause and candidates. Where we have
seen an attempt to use the fair nanv: of
tbe Republican party, and turn it to a
corrupt or sellish purpose, we have
felt it a duty to speak out and spare
not. We have stood up for that
party in this county, and between it
and bail men, whenever ami wbere
evcr we have seeu a proper and neces
sary occasion so to do. For this we
have, of course, incurred the ill-will of
some. But this will not deter us in
the futu-e from standing by and up
holding the honest man and the just
cause, now demanded more than ever.
And in this we know that we have
with us the oid and the reliable mem
boas of the party in the e junty and all
its uuseitisb supporter.
NOW THE TIME TO SUBSCRIBE.
This is the time of year—commencing
of winter—that subscriptions are gen
erally made or renewed. As the CITI
ZEN' is now entering a new year we
will be thankful to all our Iriends for
any and all efforts tljoy may make to
increase its circulation in their neigh
borhood* and townships. Their aid in
this direction wiil be duty appreciated
and remembered. Friends sending
lists of new subscribers will be; speci
ally remembered. Hut each reader or
friend can send oiw yn'w vum e, by a little
effort, »nd we a*k them to make the
trial, and hopelo b/'?ir from them soon.
The price is but $1.50, uftid ituti of all
postage. We will send it from now
to January 1, 1882, for that sum, paid
before the first of January, coming.
THAT GRVHU MAT ±J HUNT.
Seeing our name in the list of officer*
of the "(jiraud Match Hunt", that came
off on Friday last, between tho "Dan.
Boons," (Japt. W. C. Thompson, and
the "Davy Oroclfi ts," Capt. iv. C.
McAboy, :• II ol this place, y/u ventured
to the Willard House, about 10 o'clock
jri the evening of that day, and there
found that c*eelh;ut l/otel filled with
men, pheasants, rabbits, soyirreld, etc.,
etc. The hunters hail all returned
well loaded with game. There wertj
no accidents or serious disputes. In
fact it wus a very orderly and quiet
occasion, and in this respect quite iu
couUkwl with some old-time hunts we
have witnessed. The Crockets, Capt.
MeA boy's side, were declared the win.
Hers, and the Boons paid for the sup
per, This was very good ,g tten up
iu the best styie by the clever keeper
of the Willard House, Mr George W.
Campbell. About sixty, we believe,
sat down to supper
If we knew exactly how "to write
up" art affair of this kind perhaps we
might do it. But, with the change !
of times the game of this county has
changed, <>r rather much of ii has dis
appeared altogether. There are now 110
bears, or deer, or even many wild tur
keys here. These, in past years,
made the hunts exciting. We have ]
not heard of a fox hunt for some years ;
past, yet there are some very sly foxes j
still about. As to the coons, the Re- j
publicans had gathered them all up be
fore the late election, and hence not
many were to be lound on last Friday.
Rabbits, squirrels, pheasants and par
tridges, (quails, as they are called oth
er places), are about all that are left us
in this county. Like the Indians, all
others have receded as the white man
has advanced, and we suppose, it will
not be many years mure until what
we have left will grow less in num
ber. .
PETROLIA'S DISASTER
A fire in Petrolia last week, being
her secoud affliction almost within a
year past, has called out the sympa
thy of all who know the energetic and
spirit that has all along characterized
her citizens.
A writer to the Titusville Herald
of the 11th inst., refers to Petrolia's
late fire as follows :
"from the years '74 to '76, Petrolia
was in the height of her glory, and it
must be said that she has enjoyed the
full tide of prosperity, which, in times
gone by, swept over that portion of
the oil country known as the Butler
county oil fields. IJut has also
met her share of disaster, both by fire
and fiuod.
About the month of August, '?9,
the Oil Exchange, together with all
1 the block in which it stood, was
swept away by fire, while both before
and after fires have been sufficiently
numerous to satisfy even u Ji VP oil
town, such, indeed, as Petrolia has
always been, even in the midst of the
eclipse that Bradford has thrown over
the several other towns contiguous to
her in various directions."
It is likely the burned district will
not be rebuilt again.
John Lewis' Market; Orwig'sPa nt
Store; I?lvr}iiller'» Hotel, origin of fire;
United Pipe I/inp QHice j Backus'
Hardware; Argyie .Saving Hank;
Benedict's Dry (joods; Post Office and

burned or damaged y the lire in Pe
trolia last week.

in a great state of excitement owing to
the imminent danger of a fearful ex
plosion of nitroglycerine, which may
occur at any moment. Tl)e schooner
George Mobery, from Quebec, loaded
with twenty tons of the explosive com
pound, put into this port from stress
of weather Thursday night. She has
since draged her anchors, and is now
aground on sunken pier, upon which
she is beating with gn nt violence.
Efforts were made to get her off yes.

ficult to estimate the damage to life or
property that might ensue In the event
of an explosion. There is about five

Census Woric.
WASHINGTON, November 12. —Sn-
perintendent Wali.er says that the
work of compilation of the results of
the labors of the enumerators has sui
ficieutly advanced, especially with
reference to population, to enable him
tu say with perfect safety that this
branch of the labor of his office will be
completed by January 1-t. The sta
tistics ol population will be in such
shape that, should Congress determine
to revise the apportionment of repre
sentatives oh the ceiiogs of HfiO,
he can furnish authoritative informa
tion concerning every portion of the
country to the committee charged with
this subject. The work of revision, he
says now going on in St. Louis, under
the auspices of the people's committee,
will not- l!)akc any material delay, as
he anticipates from prof. Woodward
such an active performance of his work
that the returns will be completed and
submitted to the chief office within
thirty days There are other locali
ties of minor importance which have
been reviewed bv *peoial agents, bijt
returns in these have been made, leav
ing St. Louis the only point in the
United Stutes not yet finally disposed
of. Wit respect to enumeration, rep
resentatives from different sections in
the northwest and south have been in
correspondence with the c«.tioij3 office
and members of the Census Commit;
tee, urging a disposition of the new
apportionment at the approaching ses
sion of Congress, on the ground that
in all the States holding biennial ses
sions the legislatures will be in session
[or an adjustment of their districts for
the pwrpo.o of national representation
to the new ratio, that may
be. This question is bound to excite
considerable discussion. The House,
With its present t wo hundred and nine:
ty-thrue rept'Csentatiyes, has some
times been regarded a- ijnvvieldly for .
the prompt disputeh of public buoiiii-sy,
and repeated intimations have been
giveu by the leaders on both sides of
a purpose to reduce the aggregate rep
rescntation by increasing the rat o.
Tim minimum number suggested is
two hundred unit foyty, and the maxi
mum the present figure, and i»i; in

Preaident--oleot Garfield's Inten
tion. a ]
WASHINGTON, NOV. 9. —It is not j
likely th.it Gen. Garfield will resume j
bis seat in the H.»usc next winter, but 1
will remain away from Washington
until a few days prior to the time fixed
for his inauguration as President of
the United States. It does not follow,
however, that he will resigu bis seat
in the House. When Mr. Wheeler
was elected Vice President he was a
member of the Fourty-fourth Con-1
gress, and continued his membership
until the close of that Congress, al- !
though he did not resume his seat in |
Congress after his election to the \ ice :
Presidency. In addition to being a i
member ot the present Congress, (.Jen.
Garfield has been chosen to the Forty
seventh Congress to represent Ohio in
the Senate, and his credentials as Sen
ator-elect are now 011 the tile of that
body. His resignation of his commis
sion will be placed in the bauds of
Gov. Foster in time to enable the Ohio
Legislature to choose another succes
sor for the vacancy which will be
caused by the expiration of Seuator
Tiiurman's term of oftice.

up and such a roar and flush ol lire was
something that J'ortersvillc bad not, il
cer, witnessed at the close o|
which the President of the Club, .1. W.
Stewart, made a speech in which he
praised both officers and men for their
good behavior and the good feeling
that prevailed in the Club, th Me not
Ijeing a dispute or quarrel from first o«
last; no drunkeueijii'qor disorderly con
duct. Ife then spoke very highly uf
the party, of its labors, battles for
right mid the victory, as the fruits, etc.,
' gave us some advice, then bid ijs
adieu ; when we dispersed to our
homes, feeling that the work of the G.
AA. Club was finished. The officers,
Capt. Bander. Lieut's. Lehman and
j McCqnnell.aiid Serg Hunter, have the
good will of everyone and will long be
n inbeinbcrcd by the
h-1 ful performance of their duties. The
president, though an aged man, was
always </n l/i|nds to preside oyer oqr
deliberations ( often went a|oijg aijd
his presence and counsel to the boys
had, no doubt, a good effect in keep
ing up their standing for good be
havior in the Club, for which he too
deserves both honor and credit. In
fart I might go on and speak of every
individual in the Clfjb, especially those
that cast their lot with us from Law
rence count v ;'they seemed to be inter
etsted in our behalf, ami deserve the
thank ifnd friendship of all the Butler
coqnty fejlows}. for their assistance and
presenile on nearly all occasion*.

—The American people justly ab
hor the introduction of reli.'.us questions lato
political discussion. But they nr.- ai><> rightly
jealous of attempt - to give nv r»■ I_' 1 > us dv
nomin iuou or sect a controlling influence in
political affairs, and this jealousy they have
fell and shown, not against any one denomina
tion. but against ail alike. A t;ood many years
ago, t".>r instance, tie Meth i.lists became politi
cally very poutrful in Indiana. They were
then', a> the . atholics are i:i New \ uric t tty,
a numerous and inlhi ritini people, a.id certain
ambitious politicians saw that they "ou'.d
adroitly use Met 10 Ist votes au 1 Methodist 111-
flueuee to carry themselves into otliee and Cou
trol in the State. Their plan suocee.lcd very
well at first, while it was unsuspected, but it
was presently discovered, and at the follow.ug
election the people 01 lifdiaua deleated what
had come to lie quietly designated by its au
thors as the ''Methodist ticket," and summarily
put an end to what they saw was, or at any
rate would presently become, u i;reat evil. Nor
is this ail, a great number of Methodists
themselves vot d a,'aiust the so-called "Method
ist ticket." and hel|>ed to defeat it, just as inany
Catholics of New YorU City voted against John
Kelley's sectarian ticket at the late election,
and they did this from the sound aud sensible
conviction that it could only injure and demor
alize their Church and brim; it iuto odium, to
allow it to be rsed by politicians for their ends.
A Losing Joke.
A prominent physician of Pittsburgh waid
jokingly t*> a lady patient who was complaining
of her continued ill health, ami of his inability
to cure her, "try Hop Hitters!" The lady ti»ok
it in earliest aud used the Hitters, from which
she obtained permanent health. She now
at the doctor for his joke, hut he is not so well
pleased with it. as it cost h.m a good patient.—

ing a circular left at my door to try i'arker's
Ginger Tonic. Having been so often deceived
by worthless mixtures, nothing hut my wife's
dangerous condition could have led us to make
