Heating of County Committee.
Pursuant to the call of Chairman Christ
ley, the Republic"? Co. Committee met in
Butler last Saturday afternoon, and the
roll call showed some thirty members
present
After the usual preliminaries suoh as
admitting substitutes, reading minutes of;
last meeting, etc., D. B. Doutbett, Esq.,
moved that the Committee proceed to
nominate a candidate for delegate to the
Constitutional Convention, whioh motion
was supported by Messrs. Jamison, Ander
son, Mcßride, Criswell and Campbell and
carried unanimously. It is not a good
precedent but everybody is taking it for
granted that there will be no constitutional
convention, and the Committee did not
feel like putting the party in the county to
the trouble and expense of a primary for
nothing. ,
Mr. J. B. Orbiaon then nominated P. W.
Lowry, Esq., of Butler, for delegate to the
Constitutional Convention, and no other
being presented, he was unanimonsly nom
inated. Chairman Chriatley stated that
Butler county was the only county in the
state with no local ticket, this year, ex
cepting Jury Comm'r, and asked the sense
of the Committee as to getting out the
vote. Maj. Anderson suggested that each
member of the Committee select an assist
ant for eaeh school district, and these men
be appointed by the Co. Chairman, aad this
was discussed aad adopted. One man jest
ingly suggested that the name of no man
who does not vote for Jury Comm'r be
placed in the Jury wbeel.
Polling books ware distributed to the
members of the Committee present.
Mr. Stevenaon called for a report from
the Congrawjonal Committee, and Mr.
Douthett said the Committees were in the
condition of the youg lady who was wait
ing to be asked, and offered the following:
"In view of the fact that Committees
hare been appointed in each of the coon ties
forming our Congressional district, and in
order that they may meet and perform the
duties of their appointment, we, the mem
bers of the Republican Committee of But
ler county, in oonvention assembled, invite
the several committees to meet at the
Lowry House, in Butler, on Oct. 16th, at 2
p. m.", which was adopted.
The committee then adjourned.
OUB State Senate meets next Tuesday,
and it will have plenty of time to olean the
"dirty stable" at Harrisburg before the
election. Last winter, the alleged Repub
lican member* of this body showed them
selves completely subservient to the pres
ent unprincipled and reckless party
bosses. Now they have to deal with the
results of the same system of politics that
they approved of last winter, and it re
mains to he seen whether the party in the
State is to be farther humiliated, or an
honest effort made to redeem it.
Popular Vote Syetem.
CoL J. W. Reisinger, of the Meadville
Gazette, being called, upon relative to
Crawford or popular vote system of making
oounty and district nominations, respond
ed as follows:—"The longer we work un
der the popular vote system the better we
like it Whatever may be said against
popular vote nominations may be said
with eqnal truth against popular vote
elections. Several attempts were made
years ago to repeal the "Crawford County
System" in this oounty, and each time the
system was sustained by a large majority.
Its excellence appears most notable in our
congressional district nominations, whioh
are made by a mpjority vote of the dis
trict. Our nominee is known as soon as
the votes are oounted.and we have nothing
for the diatrict conference to wrangle
about Suoh proceeedings as disgraced
the Meroer-Beaver district* last fall are
impossible under our system."
A STRANOB ease of duplex character is
reported from Indiana. Rev. John Benson
of that state is fifty years of age, of com
manding presence, and when awake is
regard jd aa a model olergyman; bat when
asleep he gives uiteranoe to tho most
shocking and unministerial profanity. If
he falls asleep while traveling he uses
language which compels the train em
ployees to awaken him, and he is con
stantly scandalliing those who are igno
rant of his infirmity.
OK the payment of tax as a qualification
to vote, the Constitution says: "If twenty
two years of age or upwards he shall have
paid within two years a State or county
tax, whioh shall have been assessed at
least two months and paid at least one
month before before the election."
QVISBLIXO as to Gor. Pattison'S author
ity to convene the Senate, or as to bis ac
tion in doing so, under the circumstances,
is not only pleading guilty but also showing
a disposition to oover up matters.

The Boodler Cases.
At the September Sessions of Lawrence
eotinty of last year the indictments against
W. D. Wallace, Esq. of the Lawrence
Comity Bar. for bribery, and Messrs Tate,
Downing and Shaffer for receiving Uribes
were ignored. An investigation followed
and Judge McMichael orderod the cases to
be again brought before the grand jury at
December term, and appointed Attorney
Gardner as a special prosecutor or Dis
trict Attorney for these cases.
The December Grand Jury returned true
bills in all the cases, and they came up for
trial the following week.
Wallace's case was the first on the dock
et and he was pat on trial. His attorneys
were careful as to the selection of the jury
and admission of evidence, and fought
hard for him at every step. It was proved
that "Wallace met the delegates at the time
and place named, but when the delegates
were placed on the stand and asked the
question ' Did you receive money from W.
D. Wallace for voting for Alexander Mc-
Dowell f" or words to that effect, they re
fused to answer on the grounds that their
answers would criminate themselves.
They were instructed by the Court that
their answers could not be used agarns t
themselves, but they presisted in their re
fusals and were committed to jail by Judge
Hasen for contempt of Court. Next morn
ing they were brought into Court and
again given an opportunity to answer, but
they again refused to do so, and were com
mitted to jail until the 2d Tuesday of
March of this year—about three months—
but they appealed to the Supreme Court
and were released on bail until the Su
preme Court decided the matter. This,
the Supreme Court, has finally done
though it took a long time to do it—and it
has sustained the sentence of the Court bo
low and has remanded tho prisoners to tho
custody of the Sheriff of Lawrence county,
where they will probably remain for the
three months.
Wallace was acquitted, presum ably by
reason of this evidence not being given,
but Tate, Downing and Shaffer havo not
yet been tried—the Court having continu
ed their cases until the Supreme Court de
cided this case—and according to this de
cison, as we see it, the four men will have
to testify against each other, or be liable
to commitment for contempt of Court.
AT the meeting of the Republican Coun
ty Committee of Armstrong county, in
Kittanning, last Saturday afternoon M.
F. Leason, Esq. was nominated for dele
gate to the Constitutional Convention.
Our County Committee has named P. W.
Lowry, Esq. and the names of these two
i gentlemen will form a separate ticket to
he voted this fall by the Republicans of
the 41st Senatorial district.
tfo provision is made in the law regard
ing the Constitutional Convention for the
printing of the tickets, and as the "For"
tickets will probably be supplied by the
candidate* and those interested in having
a convention, the thinf may possibly carry
by reason of there being no "Against"
tickets at the polls. This is a singular
omission in the law, as singular as the
provisions requiring the ballots to be sep
arate, and yet have nothing on the outside
indicating that they are ballots.
