It is reported that the Eagle of this place will this week contain a card, with perhaps an affidavit, from a man named Elliott, who some years ago kept a hotel in Karns City. The ob ject of this, it is Baid, will be to show some improper action in the Court in granting this man Elliott a license at the time. Now we do not know any thing about the man or the matter. But this we do know, and this we have to say: first, that counter affidavits are prepared to meet this man's story as Boon as it appears; and second, if any such affidavit had appeared from him in last week's Eagle, or in any other pa perofthe county, these counteraffidavits are ready and would have appeared in answer this week, or before this time. The eaid affidavit, if such there is in existaace, is reported to have been in the possession of the Eagle, or the per sons controlling it, for some time past. Why has it not appeared ? Simply because it is held back with the view of preventing any time for its refuta tion and exposure. So the Republican voters of the county, and all others, can judge from that what credit they should give this Elliott story in case it is pub lished in the Eagle of this week. At the heels of a primary, or election, trickey and designing men always keep back what they know can be explained and refuted until they think it is too late to do so. They suppose the peo ple can in this way be deceived. But what a great mistake ! Since writing the above the follow ing warning to the voters has been handed us for publication : In the matter of the application of A. J. Elliott of Rams City for tavern license. To the Editors of the Citizen : An affidavit purporting to be made by A. J. Elliott, insinuating that Judge McJunkin was concerned In the grant ing of his license after it had been re fused, is being circulated by one or more of John M. Greer's adherents. The facts are as follows : W. H. H. Riddle presented Elliott's application for license and the Court, composed of Judges McJunkin, Marshall and Feid ler, refused it. Elliott then saw one of the undersigned, Ferd Reiber, and ask ed him to take hold of it and have it reconsidered, and after having repeat edly refused to take charge of the mat ter, until Elliott cried and urged the necessities of bis family, we agreed to do for him what we could. The recon sideration was effected through and by application to Judge Marshall, one of the Associates. No appeal was made to Judge McJunkin nor did he have anything to do with it. If it is meant that Judge McJunkin received any part of the fees paid by Elliott the insinua tion is absolutely false in every particu lar. We are both informed also, upon good authority, that when Elliott made his affidavit if not suffering from de lirium tremens, he was on the verge of it. FEKD REIBER. J. B. MCJUNKIN. JAMES M. BREDIN, ESQ., died at bis residence in Franklin, Pa., on last Fri day night. Maj. Bredin was born and raised in this place and removed to Franklin some years ago, where be became actively engaged in business. When in this county he was engaged in railroad and other enterprises. Some three or four years ago he was strick en with paralysis in some of bis limbs, since which he has been an invalid and from the effects of which we learn he was finally taken off. He was a man of great energy and decision of char acter, of genial and cheerful disposition, and a true and warm hearted friend. He had many acquaintances and friends in this county all of whom will regret to learn of his demise. He was born in 1828 and was therefore 50 years of age REV. LONDON, the new pastor of the Episcopal Church of this place, has ta ken up his residence on West Jefferson atrcfrt. This Judicial District. A friend has requested a statement of the make-up of this judicial district. This is in connection with the Judges to elect in the same, aud the number, and how and where they can be elec ted from, etc. We answer as follows : Ten years ago, 1874, the district, 17th, was composed of the counties of Butler and Lawrence, each being a component part of the district a3 such. The only change made in this byjthe Legislature, at last session, was the making of But ler county alone the 17th Judicial dis trict, "to which the county of Lawrence is hereby attached for Judicial purpos es." The present law, like the old one, provides that the district shall still re tain and elect two Judges. But it adds, "that one of said Judges, the additional Law Jndge, shall reside 1n the town of New Castle in the county of Lawrence." And it further pro vides that Lawrence shall have the right to participate in the election of said two Judges. So that in effect, and,in fact,the two Judges maybe elect ed from citizens of either county But if both should again be elected from Butler Co., one of them,'the additional Law Judge, would have to remove to and reside Castle, Lawrence county. And if both should be elected from Lawrence county, one,we suppose, would have to remove to and reside in this county. But this case is hardly a supposable one at present. Both counties, however, participate in the election of the two Judges. And the practice is for the political parties, Re publican and Democratic,both to nomi nate, one generally taken by each par. Tv for each county. This would make four candidates running for the two offices. But ten years ago there were live, two in Lawrence and three in this county. The desire we believe of both parties is to give Lawrence one of the candidates at present. If two new ones wonld be elected they would have, under the law, to as to which would be the President Judge of the district. But if Judge McJun kin should be re-elected, be will, under the law, be his own successor and con tinue as President Judge of the district, without any casting of lots, and with out any other formality or trouble in the matter. A Letter to Judge McJunkin. At the extra Session of the Legisla ture, about the first of August last, the bill passed fixing the Judicial Districts of the State. It then became known what district this county was to be, and the number of Judges to elect, and so forth. A discussion naturally follow ed among the members of our Bar as to probable candidates, their merits, etc. This was at a time when all were cool and quiet and could look at the judicial merits of lawyers and judges dispassion ately. The result of the different con versations among the attorneys of our Bar resulted in two letters be ing addressed to Judge McJunkin and signed by 38 members of the Bar,about two-thirds of the same. Notably among the number were Gen. John N. Purviance, Col. John M. Thompson and W. D. Brandon, Esq. The follow ing is a copy of the letter addressed him by the Republican members, 26 in number, which explains and speaks for itself: BUTLER, PA., August 13, 1883. "Hon. E. McJunkin, President Judge: —The undersigned Republican mem bers of the Butler Bar respectfully re quest you to permit your name to be used as a candidate for President Judge of this district. That you should be your own successor in the office you have so acceptably filled for the last nine years, we feel satisfied is the gen eral sentiment of the people of the dis trict. Impartiality and ability have conspicuously characterized your pres ent Judicial term, and in accordance with general usage as adopted iq other Judicial Districts, to re-elect where fit ness and integrity exist, we see no rea son for a departure from the rule in your case. We earnestly solicit your consent to be a candidate." This letter we believe was intended as a private one for Judge McJunkin. It is published now to refute some of the charges made against him. It will be observed that his "impartiality and ability" on the Bench are distinct ly set forth in this letter. Some per sons interested in another candidate, affect to deny them now. But what other candidate for Judge has had such a letter addressed to him ? lias John M. Greer had such a letter addressed him ? If so, by whom ? JUDGE MCJUNK.N is gaining strength every day and will be triumphantly nominated on Saturday. THERE has been but one withdrawa of candidates during this primary, and we presume that is all there will be. THERE is no Judge in the State who has done more work within the last ten years than has Judge McJunkin. Nor has he ever missed by sickness or other wise one day of the weeks of the Courts held by him, whilst the business of the same held out. WE had several requests to republish whc.t is known as the "Cow Speech," of Hon. \John M. Greer, made ia the State Senate about this time a year ago- Want ofspace prevents giving it to the public now. It was the speech he made against the widow's and the poor man's cow, ridiculing them, etc. WIIO are the two best men to nomin ate for County Commissioners? is a question asked frequently now by our Republican voters. It is an important question just now. A number of good men are announced as candidates from which it is hoped good selections can l>e made. Primary Election Laws.

APPROVED— The 29th day of June, A. D, 1881. HENRY M. 110YT. Judgeship Points EDITORS CITIZEN : Who shall be Judge? Who will ser/e •the people the best? Let no voter be deceived. Mr. Greer has held office eleven years. Judge McJunkin but a few years longer, 13 years Does "second term argument" apply to Judge McJunkin when opposed by Mr. Greer, or to a Judgeship? When Judge McJunkin was the age of Mr. Greer the only office he had held was District Attorney, a short time, when the office was not elective. As remarked by one of the oldest and best lawyers here a few days ago, "an insolvent man should be ashamed to ask a Judgeship. To have no money is no disgrace, but to have or to have lost other jteople's money is another and very different thing." The neighborhoods of West Sunbury and Fairview, where they have had the luxury of broken banks, should take warning. A word to the wise is suffi cient. Mr. Greer is the candidate of C'has. McC'andless and Thos. Robinson chief ly, and if so whose Judge will he be if nominated and elected ? If the politi cal associations of Mr. Greer were gen erally known throughout the county, the respectable element of his suppor ters would leave him quick as rats leave a sinking ship. A leaf from his public life:—He had the Senate pass a judicial apportionment bill attaching Lawrence county to Butler when the Constitution which he swore to obey said that But ler county ought to be a separate Ju dicial District without attachment. At the instance of the meu who for years opposed Judge McJunkin, for reasons which the Judge so correctly sets forth in his letter to the people he (Greer) had passed in the Senate a bill legislating Judge McJunkin out of his native county, but Gov. Hoyt was so struck with its monstrous provisions that be vetoed the iniquity. No thanks to Mr. Greer, however, be did what he could for it. If a man at the instance of politicians by trade forgets his duty and his oath in the Senate what may he not do if elected Judge ? Last August, when the letter ad dressed to Judge McJunkin was being signed, the Eagle in its haste and in order to keep members of the Bar from signing the letters, without authority from the attorneys, published a list of members of the Bar who had not, as it alleged, signed the letters, but omitted to state that some of the names therein published were on the letters to Judge McJunkin and others were candidates and for this and other reasons had not been requested by the friends of Judge McJunkin to sign. The Eagle has failed to show who would sign for Mr. Greer. The list would be interesting for many reasons. A Call to Prayer, Has been issued by the National Wom an's Christian Temperance Union, in view of the pending Presidential Con ventions and Campaign. Tuesday, May 27, is named as thedavof prayer, and all local Unions urged to observe this date. The call is signed by Pran ces E Willard, Caroline B. Buell, Mary A. Woodbridge, Ksther and L. M. N. Stevens, the general •■di cers of X. W. C. T. P. Primary Rules. .We this week again publish the LAW governing our primary election?, which will guide in the organization of the beards. As to the RULES passed at dif ferent county Committee meetings, we are unable to reproduce all ot them at present. But the following are the principal ones: First, the voter must vote in his own township, borough or ward. Second, no proxy voting is allowed or proxy votes to be received. Third, none but Republican votes should be received. In regard to this latter rule, a question sometime arises as to who are Repub licans. But the general rule is, that if a man is now a Republican, and in tends to vote the Republican ticket at the fall election, that he has a right to vote at the primary, although he may not have been voting with the party at all times previous. Some times Re publicans leave the party on some issue or other at a certain election, but the next year they are back agaiu to where they were as Republicans. In all such cases the practice has been to receive their votes at the primary, on their dec laration to that effect, just as the vote of a young man, not of age at the time ol the primary, but who will be by the fall election, is received on the declara tion of his Republican faith and inten tions. All these questions are in the hands of-the boards holding the elec tions, and if in any case a board acts unfairly, or improperly, the proper course for the voters to pursue is to get up and sign and send a petition or remonstrance, as the case may be, to the county Convention on the subject. LOOK out for all manner of ''ltoor backs" iu tbe Eat/le of this week. Ow.NA to the demand upon our col umns for matter connected with the near Republican primary election we are compelled to omit this week several communications and other matter. A CERTAIN Christian left his church here last Sunday week and went down to another church in Buffalo twp., and dealt out J. M.Greer's tickets both before and after the church services on said Sund&y. BY a motion passed at tbe last meet ing of the Republican County Commit tee, tbe present Committee man in each twp , and borough was authorized to organize the board at the coining pri mary on May 24. JOHN M. GREER has been eleven years in office, although yet a young man. He held the_office of District At torney for three years, worth then at least SI,OOO a year, making $3,000. Then eight years in the State Senate at $1,500 per year, making salaries alone ■of same $12,000. Add to this the extra amount received by him at and for the late extra session, about $2,000, and then add the different mileages for the eight years, about SIOO per year, and we have a total of $17,500. WITH the exception of the falsehoods circulated on the Judgeship question the primary of this county has been progressing smoothly up to this time, so far as we know. We regret to hear, however, that reports are.being circu lated as to some candidates for other offices. And this more][particularly as to some of the Sheriff candidates. The voter should make sure .to vote against the candidate who decries any oue of his competitors for the same office. And all good citizens should be give credence to eleventh hour reports, and vote for candidates upon their own merits, anil not upon their demerits as represented by other interested parties. This is a sale rule. A Card In answer to the lying scribblers in last week's Eagle I have to say that I decline to answer any one who is too much of a coward to sign his name. I made my statement over my signature. They are true. No oue has had the manhood to deny them and si>*n his rame. FRANK M, EASTMAN, The Old Grave Yard.

THE NATIONAL BANK. Continued from first page himself and these he gets the bank to discount. He didn't own one dollar of them. Colbert didn't owe hiui the amount of his note, nor did Cochran. But on the books of the bank Greer would appear as the actual owner of them at the time they were discounted. There was a mis-statement, so far as Greer was concerned, mude to the stockholders and depositors, through the officer who was appointed to look after their interests. The facts here given are true and ad mitted to be true by Greer himself, when on the witness stand and under oath. No other conclusion can be drawn from them than that all this in debtedness exceeding one-tenth of the stock was illegal. The money represented by the Col bert note was borrowed to speculate in oil with. Greer says be didn't want to borrow it, but McCandless persuaded him and promised to keep him clear, lie violated the law and endangered the money of depositors, who had made their investments in the bank under the protection ot the shield of the national banking law, not under compulsion but of choice, yet he claims to be a man fit to administer the law for the people of this county. The man who urged him to do this is his most earnest supporter forjudge to-day. Is there any assur ance that McCandless would not also control him if he got on the Bench. Since the payments were made upon the Cochran judgment Greer has paid no money to the bank, but when an ef fort was made to secuie a portion of his indebtedness he attempted to violate hia contract by setting up the defense of usury. This defense, Judge Ache son of the United States District Court decided would uot avail him. A statement has been made at differ ent times by the managers and debtors of the bank that it would have pulled through and paid in full if let be. Let no one be deceived. The figures will uot lie. Fiye years ago Mr. Cullum, the first receiver, aided by some of the best business men in Butler, appraised the value of the bank's assets. He then published a statement founded up on his investigations, that the legiti mate assets would pay about fifty per cent, of the indebtedness. It has paid seventy. How is the difference account ed for? The answer is that it is more than accounted for by assessments up on stockholders and by litigation. Sol vent stockholders have paid, after liti gation, $8,500; without litigation over $11,500; other litigation has realized over $8,500. Total, $28,500. In other word 3 almost thirty per cent, has been paid out of assets not to be counted in estimating the solvency or insolvency of the bank. Iu fact it is worse than that, for interest has been running all this time upon the deposits and when that interest is computed it will be seen that the assets of the bank on hand when it closed have paid very little if any more than thirty per cent, of the indebtedness. It is true that there is a little money yet on hand, but not enough to pay ten per cent, and that will certainly be the limit unless the directors can be compelled, at the end of litigation now pending, to respond for their negligent management. After paying eighty per cent, to depositors without interest, the loss occasioned by the mismanagement of this bank will foot up to over one hundred and eigh teen thousand dollars, made up as fol lows: Unpaid deposits, at 20 per cent. $20,000; interests on deposits, at least, $10,000; surplus $18,000; capital stock $50,000; assessments on stock paid $20,000. Total SIIB,OOO. The item of surplus represents money earned by the bank laid by to secure depositors and for the benefit of stockholders. This whole amount of SIIB,OOO has been lost, swallowed up by the mis management of this bank. T. C. CAMPUELL. Butler, May IC, 1884. RAILROAD TIME TABLE. WEST PENN It. 1!.

I-'EIXOW CITIZENS— Thanking you all for the encouragement that I have had, I do hereby announce that J have withdrawn my name from being a candi date, from Fairview township, for the office of County Treasurer. Respectfully yours, JAMES J. CAMPBELL. . u_. . - . ... -. I In The Pilot House. "Yes, sir; this kind of work obliges a man to keep sober as a judge. Of all men in the world, steamboat pilots and railroad eugineera should let liquor alone. For on their clear ness of sight and coolness of head depend* the safety of life and property." Keeping his hand ou the wheel as he said this, Mr. A. Brockman, of No. 29J Silver street, Chscago, added : "Of course some of'em drink, but the sober ones have tha best positions aud the best pay. Yes, the work and ex|H>sure sometimes tells on us; but for my part 1 find PARKER'S TONIC to be all the inyigorator 1 need- I've got a bottle aboard here now; never go on u trip without it. Wheu I havn't any appetite, or am in any out sorts.it sets me up in uo time, if drinking men would use the Tonic it would help'em to break off. (No, that isn't a light house; it's a star low down near the wa ter.) As I was saying, the bottle is a new life bottled up. You see that llag-staff ? Well, with a bottle of Parker's Tonic in the locker I can keep malaria as far from me as that, all the time. My wife has used it for three years for summer complaints and colic, and as an invig oraut, when she's tired out from overwork. She says the tonic is a daisy. Good-bye! Don't break your tieck going below." This preparation, which has been known as PARKERS UINUER TONIC, will hereafter bu ad vertised and sold simply under the name of PARKERS Tonic, As unprincipled dealers are constantly deceiving their customers by substi futing inferior articles under the name of gin ger, and as ginger is really an unimportant in gredieut, we drop the misleading word. There Is no change, however, In the preparation Itsself. and all liotiles remaining in the hands of dealers, wrapped under Ihe name of "Parkers jiingcr Tonic" eontalu ili«' genuine medicine if tip' facsimile signature of lliyiox & Co, |s at the bottom of the outside wrapper.
