Wl bare received s well written
eommonicstion from Harmony, giving
ss account of tbe organizations at Har
mony and Zelienople in the interest of
Mr. Wolfe for State Treasurer, but as
we are publishing tbe Zelienople meet
ing itself, and as our space is quite
limited this week, "Republican," the
writer, will understand why bis com
mnniestlon does not appear.
Til Ksrns City Telephone of last
week contains an able article in sup
port of Mr. Bhirs, tbe Republican can
didate for Sheriff of this county. From
• personal knowledge of Mr. Bhira for
■one years past we can endorse all the
recommendations urged in his favor.
As we said when he was nominated,
he is the first one of that large and re
spected name in this county who has
been favored with a Republican nomi
nation, and the party owes to bim a
united and hearty support, and which
we have no doubt be will receive at
tbe polls on November Btb.
IOWA.
• A State election was also held in
lowa last Tuesday week and tbe result
is another great Republican triumph.
The majority ranges from 40,000 to
60,000. lowa is perhaps tbe most
thoroughly Republican State in tbe
Union.
COURT.
Court continues in session this week,
to dispose of tbe balance of causes not
reached last week. Tbe same jurors
in attendance last week were held to
serve this week.
Next week there will also be Court,
for tbe further trial of civil causes, and
with a new set of jurors, etc.
RAILROAD—ONE CER TA IN.
It gives us great pleasure to state
that tbe line for a railroad connection
between Butler and a point on tbe
Pittsburgh and Harmony road, at or
near Evans burg, is now being defin
itely located. The location here has
been determined and tbe engineers are
now locating tbe track down the Con
noquenessing. The line bore will
leave tbe track of the present Narrow
Gauge at or near the residence of Mr.
George Reiber, a short distance east of
tbe West Penn depot. It then crosses
tbe creek to the land of Mr. William S.
Boyd, passing through same and a lot
of Mrs. Mackey until it crosses tbe
Freeport road, near Freeport bridge,
from where it will follow the street
between that road and tbe plank road,
crossing the same st lots of the Messrs.
Campbell and Mrs. Muntz, thence
passing slong the creek and across the
big bend in same through lots of Neg
-I*7. Patterson, Stoughton, Bredin
and others until it strikes tbe creek
again.
Work, we are reliably informed, will
commence at once—probably this week.
Tbe completion of this connection
will fill a link long needed and will un
doubtedly do much to further open up
our county to trade and travel. It
passes near tbe new Bald Ridge oil
developments, which are only about
one mile from the creek and at which
point a station will no doubt be erect
ed.
STATE TREASURER.
In our issue of Oct 5, we gave an
extract from the "speech of Attorney
General Palmer in the Republican
State Convention" that nominated
Gen. Silas M. Baily, for the office of
State Treasurer. The extract alluded
to was publiseed in the Republican
papers of the State generally and is an
eloquent tribute to the merits of General
Baily as a soldier. It recounts the
various battles he was in during the
rebellion and on these it principally
rested his claims to the support of the
people. A valued friend of Altegheny
township takes exception to the suf
ficiency of these claims, as presented
by the Attorney General, and writes
us his views of the case. The follow
ing extract from bis letter gives his
reasons for refusing to vote for General
Baily, and are intended as a answer to
the argument of Attorney General
Palmer:
PARKER'S LANDING, Oct. 11, 1881.
"A man who misrepresented his
constituents in the State Convention
held at Harrisburg, February 1880. A
man who tried to smother Republican
principles at Harrisburg and Chicago
by trying to force the "unit rule," for
which service the Cameron ring,
bis masters, wishes to reward bim by
electing bim State Treasurer, where
he can further and better serve them,
and thereby rivet the chains of ring
rule more tightly on the people of the
State and advance stalwartisin all
along the line. Yoursetc.,
A. L. SCOTT."
There is no man in the county that
we have more respect for tnan the
writer of the above. Mr. Scott is a
thoroughly honest and conscientious
man and an active and influential Re
publican. Like a large majority of the
Republicans of this county, he desires
to see an end to boss rule and boss
nominations being forced upon tbe Re
publicans of this State. On this he
knows well our views and the position
this journal has always occupied. But
whether Mr. Baily misrepresented his
constituents, in the Harrisburg Con
vention of February 1880, we do not
recollect and have now no means of
ascertaining. Or whether his county
was then for Grant or Blaine for Presi
dent, or whether he was a delegate,
and instructed or not instructed, on
tbe then contest between the friends of
Blaine and, Grant for this State, we do
not know. One thing all will admit,
however, that Blaine was the favorite
in this State generally, and should have
had it, and that the effort made in that
Convention to take it wholly from him
and give to Grant, was eontrary to tbe
sentiments of a large majority of tbe
Republicans of the State. But what
was Gen. Baily's action in that State
Convention we never knew. It is true
he was one of tbe delegates sent by it
to the Chicago National Convention,
and in that Convention was one of tbe
306 who voted for and adhered to
Grant. But this alone would not be
a sufficient reason for any Republican
withholding bis vote from him now for
the office of State Treasurer. Unless
the reasons urged against the manner
in which he was nominated be good
and sufficient, we think that his mere
friendship for Gen. Grant is not suffi
cient. He, like Grant, was a soldier
and of course a natural sympathy ex
isted towards a fellow soldier. j
POLITICAL.
We give our readers this week all
tbe news possible of what is transpir
ing in this county and State in politi
cal matters. Among them will be
seen tbe proceedings of a Wolfe meet
ing, held at Zelienople, this county,
which we give as news and also by re
quest. The CITIZEN, as is well known,
has always been tbe foe of what is
known as "rings" and "bossism," and
while we approve of much of the senti
ment contained in the position of Mr.
Wolfe, yet we have not been able to
approve of bis present candidacy for
the office of State Treasurer. It is,
however, nothing more than the right
of our readers and of the public, to
have all tbe light and information that
can be given on any subject. The
light can do no harm. It is only tbe
suppressing of it that is likely to do
harm. Doctor Cunningham, the prin
cipal mover in tbe Zelienople meeting,
it might be remarked, was the Chair
man of our late Republican County
Convention. He is a citizen well
known to many of our people and they
will read his views and approve or dis
approve of the same as they may see
right and proper. We but perform a
clear duty when we afford all tbe op
portunity and means of reading and
judging for themselves.
STATE AND COUNTY ELEC
TIONS.
Tuesday, November 8, is tbe day
for holding tbe state and county elec
tion this year. Voters who change
their residences from one election dia
! trict to another require a residence of
at least sixty days in the district where
tbe citizen shall offer to vote. State
and county tax must have been paid
within two years. Everv qualified
citizen should vote. That is a duty
for tbe neglect of which tbe reason
should be very strong. Without such
a reason the neglect to vote is an un
patriotic refusal to perform a public
duty. We hope every citizen of this
county will vote at tbe election on
November Bth.
OHIO ELECTION.
As we predicted last week, Ohio ha?
again gone Republican. Gov. Foster
is elected by a majority of at least 20,-
000.
The rest of the Republican State |
ticket may reach a majority of 25,000.
The Legislature, both brunches, is
aiso Republican by decided majorities.

A CERTAIN' MATTER.
In regard to the general dissatisfac- j
tion that has arisen among the Re- j
publicans of this county from the ap- !
pointment of Mr. W. H. Ititter, of this
place, on the State Central Committee,
we have concluded to let the matter
go over for the present. We do so
principally from information given by
the Chairman of the County Commit-j
tee, Mr. Craig, to the effect that the
matter will soon be thoroughly inves- J
tigated. We have looked upon the |
matter from the first as one that special
ly concerns the delegates from this
county in the late State Convention, j
Messrs Purviance and Williams. If
they have appointed a man on the
State Committee, as the representative
of this county, who has used the lan
guage towards the late lamented Pres
ident Garfield, while laying upon bis
death bed, that Ritter is said to have
used, then he is a most offensive and
objectionable appointment, and one
that Messrs Puryiance and Williams,
for their own credit, as well as the
credit of the Republican party of this
countv, cannot too hastily correct.
They placed him there and they have
the power at any time to displace him.
Our Republican friends who have sent
us requests on the subject will there
fore understand why they do not ap
pear at present
A BRIEYHONOII.
The election by the Democrats of
the United States Senate of one of
their number, Senator Bayard, to be
President, pro (em, of that body, when
it assembled last week, literally turned
out to be but a pro tempore, or "for
the time" proceeding, and that but a
very brief time. He was elected be
fore all the Senators had been seated
and had the right to vote, a 9 the Re
publicans maintained, and the conse
quence was that, as soon as the new
Senators were sworn in, anotbeF plop?
tion was ordered, and Senator David
Davis, of Illinois, waa chosen. So
Bayard stepped down and out and
Davis stepped up and in Davis has
been independent in bis politics and
votes in the Senate, and the selection is
thought to be the wisest one that could
have been made, under present circum
stances, EU ie ft yery large man, and
in that respect also may be said to fill
the chair fully.
IRELAND ABLAZE.
ARREST OF PAR KELT-, TUB LAND LEAGUE
LEADER —UREAT EXCITEMENT
IN DUBLIN.
DUBLIN, October 13.—Charles S.
Parnoll was arrested this morning
while on his way to attend the Kildare
Convention, on two warrAPta signed
by Foster, Chief Secretary lor [rulaud,
charging bim with inciting people to
intimidate others from paying tbeir
just rent, and with intim'dating ten
ants from taking the benefits of tbe
land act. Parnell was taken to Kil
mainbam jail.
It is understood that the determina
tion to arrest Parnell was only reach
ed at yesterday's Cabinet council. The
warrant for his arrest was issued to
detectives of London on tbe arrival
there of the Chief Secretary for Ire
land, Forster, who left London imme
diately after the close of tbe Cabinet
council. InsfMJAter Mallon called at
the hotel where Parntii Stopping,
at nine o'clock this morning, and BnQt
word to tbe Land League leader, who
was jitill in bed, that be would like to
see him. The hotel porter returned word
that be would ba happy to see the In
spector as goon as fes iv»s dressed.
Soon after he sont for Mr. MaMon,
who, with Detective Sheridan, went
up stairs. Parnell met him pleasantly
and asked; "Do you intend to arrest
me?" "Yes," repliwd Mallon, handing
him the warrant still w«t wifji Forst
er's signature, for tbe Chief Settetaiy
only returned from London by tlio
morning mail at eight o'clock. Parnell
glanced over tbe warrant and said,
"All right.'' He put on his bat and
walked down stairs with the two police
men. A cab was waiting at the door
and tbe three men entered it. "Kil
mainham Prison," cried Mallou to tbe
driver, aid tbey drova off. There
were four other policemen in citizi'jis'
clothes in another carriage. On arriv
ing at Kilmainham Parnell was at once
assigned to a cell. There was no dem
onstration, as no one knew about the
arrest beyond the parties concerned.
"Ireland ablaze," is the heading of
the above recent news from Ireland.
And it seems to be the result of the
contest, going on for years, many years
past, between tbe Britiuh Government
and Ireland in regard to the laud ten
ant system exercised over Ireland.
But England now makes the fatal
mistake of arreMiruj and imprisoning
a man for the use of bis free speech.
For what else is it ? Is it not simply
the right we have acknowledged long
since in this county, and which was
supposed to be acknowledged in the
old country ? It is too late in this lat
ter end of the 19th century for
land or any other couutry to be impris
oning any man for tbe political right ot
saying what he pleases on any politi
cal or government question. Kriglaud
by this arrest only strengthens the
cause of I'arnell and his followers
The aooner she "backs out" and releas
es this man the l>etter. I>o as we do
here—let every man freely speak his
mind on all government measures.

GUITEAU ARRAIGNED. [
GARFIELD'S ASSASSIN PLEADS
NOT GUILTY.
IT IS CLAIMED THE PRISONER IS IN
SANE AND IRRESPONSIBLE, AND
THAT THE PRESIDENT DIED
FROM MALPRACTICE.
WASHINGTON, October 14 —There
was a very large attendance this morn
ing in the Criminal Court room, at
tracted partly by the impression that
the arraignment of Guiteau would
take place and partly by the announce
ment that the argument in the star
route cases would be opened by Robt.
G. Ingersoll. The latter said he was
unwilling to go on unless the whole
matter could be finished in a day or
two, and Mr. Cook, for the govern
ment, said he was not ready, owing to
the absence of counsel. Finally the
case was allowed to remain open for
two weeks, the time for opening the
argument to be fixed after that time.
After the withdrawal of counsel in
the star route case, it became known
| in the court room that the arraign
ment of Gniteau was actually going to
take place, so most of the spectators
remained, and a very intense feeling of
curiosity and interest was manifested.
There was no unusual display of the
police in or about the court room, al
though there was a large number of
detectives present not in uniform.
THE ASSASSIN APPEARS.
At a quarter past II o'clock Mr.
Scoville, counsel for the prisoner,
entered and took a seat at the lawyeps
table, and immediately afterward the
door of the witness room opened and
gave enterence to Marshel Henry aud
the two deputy marshals having be
tween them and hustling along the
bowed and cowering figure of the man
for whom they made way to a seat re
served for him beside his counsel.
Then ope of tbe gijaids ynlocjced the
handcuffs, giving the prisoner the pse
of bis hands. Guiteau looked broken
in health and uncared for in prison.
Mis dark c}ot)je« were rwsty apd shab
by, and his whole person presented a
miserably neglected appearance. Af
ter the excitement attending his enter
anee bad subsided, District Attorney
Oorkh'U fose, and, addressing the
Judge, said: 'The grand Jury of the
District of Columbia has indicted
Cbftrleß J. Guiteau for the murder of
James A. Garfield. The prisoner is in
court. I ask that he be arraigned and
required to plead to the indictment.'
THE ARRAIGNMENT.
The prisoner was ordered to stand
up and in a languid manner obeyed.
The Clerk: 'ls your name Charles J.
Guiteau?' The prisoner assented by a
nofi. The Clerk then proceeded to
read the the prisoner stand
ing up, with his head most of the time
Inclined to the right shoulder, his eyes
half closed or wholly ?o, his bunds
crossed as if still they were handcuffed,
and bis air was that of sickly indiffer
ence. The reading occupied nearly
half an hour, and during all that time
Guiteau hardly once changed'his atti
tude or bearing and hardly opened his
pypg. lie did not manifest the slightest
degrpp of Iptprpst 'M the scene in which
he was the chief actop. pnfl fop an
occasional slight movement, plight hp
supposed to he asleep in a Standing at
titude. Upon the conclusion of the
reading of the indictment the Clerk,,
addressing the prisoner, said : 'W hat
sav you to this indictment, guil
ty or not guilty ?' The prisoner, in
place of & response, fumbled in his
waistcoat pocket f?! ,tnv out a
soiled and crumpled Strap of papp^'
District Attorney (Imperatively)—
Enter your plea of 'guilty or not guil
ty.'
The prisoner—l enter plea 'not guil-
jf your honor please, and I desire
t'o
The C«'MrU—At iio/pp flther time. It
would not be appropriate juw f),otf.
Sit down.
The prisoner thereupon took his snat.
THE TIME FOR TRIAL.
ThDistrict Attorney—ln this case
I nek that th<e f/'iu! be set for next
Monday morning peießiptqriJy The
Government is ready lor the trial oo*.
| Mr. Scoville—l appear for the de
fendant, at his request, and 1 have
nooia affidavits to present to court, the
| first being tiiat a( th/» defendant him
self.
The affidavit, which was read, states
that there are various witnesses whose
evidence is material to the prisoner's dc
fense, and without which he cannot
safely go to trial. That the namewund
residences of such witnesses and the
facts that can be proved by them sev
<ftilly /jre all knowu to affiant's coun
sel, Mr. (JeOfg*.* gpoyille, and are only
known in part by alfittut, iJ,at ftp has
no money nor property and is uuaohi
to pay fees or millage of witnesses nor
cost of summoning them. He there
fore prays that tbo Court pjiall allow
such witnesses on his Iteltalf as may he
shown by the affidavit of counsel to bo
necessary, the fees and costs to be paid
iu such manner as those of Govern
ment witnesses are paid.
THE DEFENSE OUTLINED.
Mr. KeoWlJle then read an affidavit
made by himself, ft affiles that l»e
--nides the points of law that (pay hp
made, the defense will consist of two
points: First, the insanity of defend
ant; and, second, that the wound was
not necessarily mortal, and was not
the cause of President Garfield's death.
The alliant had endeavored to obtain
the names aud residences of witnesses
tor the defense to prove material facts
on tho jju (! Ption ot insanity, but had
been U) dw bp, because the de
fendant did not appfli to
and refused to aekuowledge the eflpct
of established rules of evidence in spch
eases. The affiant believes this difi
eulty to arise from the very fact which
such evidence would prove, to wit, the
defendant's insanity; and yet he knows
of no moans to overcome it. For that
reason cbieffy thv affidavit of alliant
became necessary iu tbo C4M\ He
further says, since he was employed in
the case, ten days ago, he has done
what he could to prepare for trif.l, and
especially has he made inquiries as he
was able to find witnesses for the de
fense He further says the names aud
residences of such witness are John
M. Guiteau, New York; G. A. J'arker,
Wm. J. Maynard, Francis W, S.
Brow n ley, Orson W.Grant and Francis
M Scoville, Chicago.
THE COURT'S CONCLUSIONS.
After some further discussion of the
question as to subpeenaing witnesses
lor the defense and payment of costs
and expenses by the Government the
Court said :
It is of the utmost importance to the
interest of public jastice that not only
this case but all cases of like gravity
shall be tried as swiftly as is consistent
with justice. I appreciate the fact that
the line of defense in this case would
require evidence to be brought from
other places. The diligence employed
by the counsel has been fruitful enough
in ascertaining what witnesses should
be summoned and what testimony may
be presented. I must consult some
what the other engagements of this
court in fixing a time for trial, and I
think the most convenient time for the
court, and the time that will accommo
date the prisoner sufficiently, will be
the tth of November, which is three
weeks from next Monday. I cannot
ignore the f act that there is an import
ant question relating to the jurisdic
tion of the court to try the case at all,
which is the subject of discussion and
which arises on the face of the indict
ment. Until that question is decided
it cannot, of course, be decided whether
there be any trial here at all. If the
jurisdiction of the court is to be dis
cussed, that question must be disposed
of as a preliminary one, and I desire to
have that done speedily, either imme
diately or by the 30th ot the present
month, so that the question may be
out of the way. With reference to tbe
application to allow the cost of witness
es, I will examine the statutes and will
make such order on the subject as I
may feel authorized to do. I have no
disposition to withhold any power of
tbe court in the matter, aud whatever
the law allows to be done in that re
spect I will do. If the counsel for the
ucjusfd shall be advised that assistance
cannot be found elsewhere, I shall feel
it my duty to assign proper counsel
from this bar. At present i will fix
thp trial for tbe fth of November.
District Attorney—And the prelim
inary argument on the question of
jurisdiction for the 30th of October?
The Court—Before the 30th, either
next weefc or the wpcfc preceding tjie
trial
Mr. Scoville—This is a matter which
I did not feci inclined to say anything
about, because it is a thing which 1
have not investigated at alj.
The Court—lf the qtfestion arises
you will have to withdraw the plea of
not guilty, and interpose another plea
or demurrer. Our practice is to allow
tjiftt tp be
Mr. Scoville—l thought of leaving
that for the counsel who may come in
to the case and the District Attorney
to settle between tbepifaelveg,
District Attorney—Mr. Scoville has
informed me Mr. Merrick has agreed
to argue that question at the conveni
ence of the court.
Mr. Scoville—And I told Mr. Mer
rick I should be very glad to have him
do so. But suppose Butler or some
one else should have come into the case
anf} should say He did not require Mr.
Merrick's services ? J c'q not kno\y
bow it might be in that case,
District Attorney—l had not thought
of that.
This closed the proceedings for the
day. The marshal and his assistants
replaced the handcuffs on Guiteau, who
manifested throughout the same listless
indifference which he had shown when
the indictment was being read to him.
He was hurried out of court in the
asmp way he bad been brought in and
was in£o tfje in waiting and
driven back to jail in tlie Imfiieijiatp
custody of the marshal and assistants.

Machiavellian mind is bent on mischief.
Some assert that he is there to pre
vent the admission of Senator Miller,
and others state that his desire will be
omnipotent in the cabinet changes
believed to be imminent. Time alone
can tell what he is in Washington for,
but the people ot these United States,
as a whole,, would gladly hear of Mr
Conkling's retirement from public life
and would be well pleased if they
nerer saw his hyperion locks again.—
Derrick, Oct. 11.
GIITEAU'S brother-in-law has failed
utterly in securing any aid in New
York, no lawyer, to the honor of the
profession, be it said, being found
willing to assist in defending this con
summate rascal, neither would any of
the witnesses he desired consent to
lend their aid to the defense. This
scoundrel, when told by Mr. Sooville
that he would try and get 001. Inger
soll to help him, declined his assistance
'-because the whole christian world
would be prejudiced.' If it were not
such a serious matter his coolness and
assumption of virtue, would create a
smile, but as it is, it will only serve to
confirm the mass of people in their
belief of his entire canity and increase
their 'jmpatleqt desire that a rope's end
shall quickly be meted out to him,
without any legal impedimenta or tech
nicalities,

The constant practice most women
have in caring for the sick, makes them
often more skillful than physicians in
selecting medicines. The reason why
women are everywhere üßing and rec
ommending Parker's Ginger Tonic is,
because they have learned by that
best of guides—experience—that this
excellent family medicine speedily
overcomes despondency, periodical
headache, indigestion, liver complaints,
pain or weakness in the back and kid
