And now the Democracy of the State has
gone and Let its foot right square down up
on the salary-grabbers. How ila4 some of
the Tiog,a county Demberats must feel!
Our : local DBmocrats seem to have been a
little forgetful last Wednesday evening.—
, They didn't once mention. the " liberals,"
and they forgot all about the salary-grab..
Tho,llemocrats, in their long-winded TC3-
olutiimis cooked up at Wilkesbarro, under
take to tell the people what they' will do if
they ever come into power again. But, un
fortunately for the DemoCrats, 'the pepole
still remember what they did when they
were in powe

The Democrats have virtuously resolved
e i
that they will no loner tamely submit to
the repetition of etc lion frauds! This is

Tho Democrats know the rest of that coup
let.,
Whatever may he said of the Tioga"coun
ty DemOcrats, it must be admitted that they
are always entertaining: Last year they
gave ns a neat comedy called "Clasping
Bands l over the Bloody Chasm," and this
year they favor us with a roaring farce en
titled "Buncombe from a Bottle; or, Sell
ing the Bolts." The fun was so rich that
even the actors were forced to laugh at their
own antics. Read the account of the show
in our local columns.
This is the way the New York 11ror/d talks
to its Into faithful allies: .
`) There is onlz, one
organiLed _Lauer SOU u 0
11S. I We should like to haVo them ,Of they
' Labe no objection) run a separatO ticket of
their own this fall in every State. They
need not be afraid' of hurting our feelings
by showing us how much we lose by re
jecting their alliance. We promise to shed
no tears either of envy;pity, or, regret. If
they get , any votes it will be. from the Re
publican party, and we are willing to. ;see it
divided. -As they pretended to transfer
votes to us lastyear but did notAleliver
them, we are curious to know hoW many
they really 14ad at their disposal.' The Dem
ocratic part was weaker after - their coali
tion than it had been the preceding year,
but that was in consequence of disgusted
:iemocrats staying away from'the polls.—
If the ." Liberals" will this year act as -a
separate party, they will at least be in no
danger of having their number reckoned as
less than nothing; and if they should get a
few scattering votes in two or three States,
it would be so much cleat additioh to any
strength which latt year's election returns
permit us to assign theist . _ The' Democratic
party plus the 'Liberal' vote having been less
than the,Democratie party minus the 'Libe
ral' vote, the mathematical conclusion would
he that the 'Liberals' are a negative quantity.
If they ore willing to demonstrate that their
votelast year was not a myth or an egregi-
ens imposture; they can Clear themselves of
the charge of swindling false pretenses by
deploying th-eir separate strength and giving
us a chance lo conut their noses this fall.—
There will still, remain time to vote for
Grant for a third i term in order to ward off
a triumph of the . Democracy. If they help
aim as they helped us last year, he is heart
ly w . / , .lconle to their assistance. But let
Omni honestly exhibit their goods before
again asking eitVer party to bid for theml"
Judge Lynch.
All thoughtful readers of newspapers
must have noticed with alarm the increased
.
frequency of crimes against the public or
der by organized bodies of meu. rEren some
'of the mostf ,"conservative" of Southern
journals have at last become alarmed at the
spread of Kuklux practices in some of the
more northern of the late slave States, and
are crying out, in a panic for the interposi
tion of the national government, to save so
ciety from' disorganization.' But the reign
of mob law is not, confined to the South.
Few days have passed of late without bring
ing us some story of outrage committed by
, men banded together for sonic criminal pur
pose at the West. Nov it is a tale of- BM
destruction and plunder of a railroad train
—a sort of improved style of wholesale
highway robbery suited to this age of steam
and telegraphs—that illuminates the eolunms
of the daily papers, and anon it is the sack
ing of some county clerk's office, or the
summary execution of sonic supposed crim
inal that claims the attention of the reader.
The time was when this sort of thing was
looked upon by law-abiding people as a dis
agreeable eccentricity of the half-organized
communities of the Par West—as a sort of
nettle-rash of society, which would entirely
pass away upon the advent; of kllc Justice
of the 'Peace and the Constable. Judge
Lynch's jurisdiction , was :winked "at with
some show of reason in regions where the
wilt of no other Judge could command re
spect. But, unfortunately for coir boasted
civilization, his summary procedure is no
longer confined to the unorganized border,
but has already invaded portions of the
'country where the machinery ofAtistiee
should be in thorough workingorder. Even
in the State of Indiana, a body of armed
men, masked and disguised, recently broke
into a County Clerk's office and destroyed
the records relating to a suit in which th e
interests of some portion of thepeople Were
involved, while the same State and Missouri,
lowa, Arizona, and Kansas have lately wit
nessed the summary killing, by'armed rab
bles, of moons charged with crime. In-

of terms to talk of , wild - justice, or the jus
tice of the mob; as Well talk of
_the justice .
of 'a
tiger;_loilt mob is in fact O,Wild ' , beak
:unchained.
~Justice IS' never wild, or pas-,
sitanate, or vengeful.
No thougbfal per Son who 'ever witnessed
the work of a mob, even in its less terrible
form; can have failed to observe that it is
not actuated by the sense of right and of re
sponsibility to society. In some. of these
recent cases 'at the Wetit weread ,of the
ruthless" -- destruetion - of officers of the law
who were Man - fully doing _their duty in
• standing bet4veeii the mob and the victims
of its revenge - . Audso it ever is. The mob
is moved by passion and fiery indignation,,
_ and not-by reason and sober judgment., -So
far from preventing crime, this "wild jus
dee" direetly.fosters it. It slays the inno
cent with the guilty, without time or oppor 7
tunity or care to make inquiry into the facts,
and so outrages every sense 'of justice and.
destroys every moral effect- of punishment.
In the eyes of reasoning men the fact that a
' man has suffered indignity or death at the
hands of a mob is no more evidence of his
guilt than the fact that be hai been bitten
by a rattlesnake or at by'ti goose. It,
is stated to be a fact that of all the convicts
who have served out their terms in the East
ern Penitentiary of this State not less than
three per cen. are now certainly known to
have been guiltless of the crimes with which
they were ehrged and for which they stir
' fered ninny years of imprisonment. And
:
yet : these men, unjustly convicted.tic:re
_tried by dispassionate and fair minded courts
and juries. If, then : , our courts, with no
wish but to.do justice, find it so inipotible
to determine with certainty the guilt or in
nocence of MCA how can we expect even
an approach to fairness at the hands of a
wild, ignorant,* and irresponsible mob?
At the same time that mob law thus con
founds the innocent and the guilty it directi
ly promotes crime by inflaming those 'evil
passions which are slambering in the breasts
-of the best of
, us'. blest civil governments
have - abolishekd public executions for the
reason that they tend to promote crime.—
What then must be the effect of this fre
quent destruction of life, not simply before
the eyes of the mob by judment; of the
law, but by the mob itself and in defiance
of the law? The answer is 'obvious, and it
will be found in the history of any commu
nity which suffers this great evil to spread
unchecked. Judge Lynch must be effectu
ally resisted and - driven from the land, or
even-handed justice will bid us a long fare
well. -- ' ..-
Once ; .-- i• All.
We said last week that the " patent out
side" of this village was trying to wriggle
out of its own record on the salary-grab
question; whereupon that sheet rejoins:—
"When he says the Denzocrattries to evade
its own record he knows that that it not
true." We do know that the game is hardly
worth the candle, but we propose, once for,
all, to show just how much the word of the
writer of that sentence is'worth.
In our edition of August 12th we asked
the Democrat; " What do you think, for in
stance, of the back-pay salary' grabbers, all
...and_ t sivolitry _7......,0 r ..-.......,
OM o August 14th stud, "We are obliged
to our neighkor * * In company with
his compatriots; we suppose he defends the
' grab.' He can do so without any stains to
his editorial shirt." Of course, every man
in the county who reads the newspapers
knew this was a falsehood by implication,
RS the position of the AGITATOR on that
question was well understood. But feeling
willing to concede that p'erhaps the callow
editor of the Democrat bad erred through
ignorance, we took pains lin our issue of the
19th to enlighten hint as to the position of
both papers on that subject, and quoted the
substance of the Democrat's editorial of the
last week of March, as follows: .
The Slabtown .1 - mlex, the Mudhill Atte
gem.' and a legion of other newspapers are
mad because President Grant, his Cabinet,
the Supreme Court ;fudges, the heads Of
Apartments, and Congressmen have bad
th irrsalaries increased so that they may live
in _decent style. All their blowing does not
amount to anything. A committee of the
Senate and House reported the appropria
tidn bill, and it passd. Some people ob
ject to it because the Congressmen did not
strike out the item as to their increase. * = *
The salaries are not too high; not half en
ough. * * Very many of the , Congress,
men do not receive enough to pay_ their bx
pen'ses while in Washington. As it costs a
large sum to live in that city, ten thousand
dollars a year is little enough for their serv
ices. We hope in fo - Ur years from hence,
when a Democratic President will be inau
gurated, that the Executive will receive a
hundred thousand dollars a year, and the
other officials in proportion. A rich and
populous people cannot allord to be stingy."
As this was the last expression of that pa
per's opinion on the subject, we thought and
said that "of course, it must be accepted
as defining the Democrat's position on the
' grab.'"
What did the Democrat say to this? We
quote verbatim what it did say as a tinie - 's- -
cimen of that journal's truthfulness, "cor
rect English," and " elegant writing":
"The
bosh which follows the above lines
quoted from' the AGITATOR, was doubtless
puddles] in the turbid.brain of 'the editor.'
The implicit falsehood which inflates his
gibberish, 'indicates a chronic mendacity
cropping out of infected nature."
Of course this meant—if it nfeant any :
thing—that we had forged the above quota
tion from the Democrat of last March and,
falsely ascribed it to that sheet. In other
words, the Democrat denied its , own record,
and charged that we,liad suggested a false
hood when we claimed to <Dote from its
columns. We thereupon retharked, last
week, that the "patent outside" was trying
to wriggle out of its own record, and that
silly siteet charges that we have lied about
it as tie]] as forged its editorials. We ad
miti that we did not do th . subject full-jus
tice. Our language shoul have been much
stronger, for every readin man in the coun
ty knows Witt what we said 'was entirely
within.the truth.
Having now shown the exact moral stand
ard of this frivolous "patent' outside," we, I
leave it to the undisturbed enjoyment of its'
well-earned reputation for " correct Eng
lish,' "elegant writing," and " truthful
ness." • Of course, no statement "of fact or
of opinion which it may choose to make
hereafter will be entitled to any considera
tion from sensible people.

The Distracted Democracy.
TILE STATE CONVENTION AT WILRESI3ARRE.
Tile Demookatie State• Convention, which
met' at Wilkesbarre last Wednesday, was
one of the most turbulent conclaves that has
recdntly been held. It was called to order
Myamttel J. Randall, Chairman of the
ate Committee and one of the salary-grab
bers who hasn't returned his back -pay. On
calling the roll there were • several seats
claimed by contesting delegates, mainly
from_ Philadelphia and Allegheny counties.
As soon as a temporary 'organization was
effected the fun grew fast and furious. A
motion was made that all contests for scats
from Philadelphia should be referred for de
cision to the delegates from that city. The
IliTaldstreport says this was strenuously op
posed, and in the midst of the confusion
Gen. Rumford, of Ilarrlsburg, left his chair
and called for the attention of the house.—
He said he simply asked for the present
I .lflifttfflirfan'd offeredwhat had always an
amendment that all contests be referred to
- a-committee composed ,of one man from
each district in which there was no contest.
Mr. MeCarrifran responded that "as the
Philadelphia elections were only understood
at home, he thought that she ought to de
cide between the merits of her own repre
sentatives."
Such a deafening yell as ,greeted this re
mark cannot be described. The country
delegates hissed antlhooted,
,and for a while
everything was utter confusion. .
Gen. Rumford at once answered signifi
cantly that he "was aware the Quaker city
elections were as a rule incomprehensible,
and that along with them were associated
certain motives which country Men could
not understand," whereupon Col. Hopkins,
of Allegheny county, moved that the claim
of the contestants be settled at once, to the
exclusion of everything else. -
Mr. Barr leaped from his seat and Com
menced to address the Convention. Up be
side him .sprang at almost the precise mo
ment Mr. W. W. Moore, who at -once
called the gentleman to order. '
"By what assurance," cried Mr. Moore,
" do you arise to address this bodyr
"By virtue of my credentials," respond
ed Mr. Bari.
" Credentials! Where obtained?" • "
From the Demodratic Convention of Al
leghenyl county," Barr returned.
" Your statement," said Mr. Moore, "is
an impudent and unequivocal lie."
At this moment every man was ,upon his
feet at the same time, and every soul in the
house seemed to join in the debate. The
excitement was tremendous, and for a mo
ment could not be subdued.
" Shall Philadelphia decide-her own con
tests, or shall these contests be decided by
the Convention?" That was the question.
Gen. Rumford's proposition was the fa
vorite. McCarrigan seeing his points losing
weight, at once demanded that Philadelphia
should decide for herself, which amendment
was totally extinguished by a vote of above
140 to 10. - This closed the morning session.
After dinner the committee on contested
seats admitted part of the Philadelphia del,
egation, including the notorious Sam Jo
sePhs of the Third district.
About four o'clock the committee on per
mll :rtt organization reported, proposing
Mr. R. Milton Speer for President of the
Convention.
At this point Mr. A. 11. Glatz, of York,
rose and said: "Before we go any farther,
I move that the Convention non-concur,
and for this good and sufficient reason—l
have been credibly informed that this gen
tleman who has been named by the com
mittee on organization as President of the
Convention was one- of the members of
Congress who accepted the back pay."—
[Great cheering interrupted Mr. Glatz.j
Mr. Speer said: As the person most di
rectly concerned, I ma' with propriety say
a few words. The position this committee
has assigned me I did not seek. I have
sought only to advance the .interest of my
State and of the Democratic party. I have
twice carried my district, twice in an elec
tion for Congress in the face of a Republi
nan majority of 1,000. I refer to my brief
record in Congress to sliow that I never cast
a dishonest vote. I Voted in Congress
against the increase of pay, but when I so
cast my vote, did I do wrong in accepting
what the law gave? Illtnow there is some
thing demanded by thd political clamor of
the time, but is it necessary that I should
be stabbed in the house of my friends? [Ap
plause_
Mr. Speer continued to defend hiS Con
gressional course, appealing to the magna
nimity of the Convention, proffering to
withdraw his name if his friends thought it
best; " but if any one raises against me this
question, it ought to be some one whose
hands are clean, and not ono who has been
covered all over with the filth and slime of
legislative corruption."
Mr. Glatz: I have no personal quarrel
with the person named for President. I
have been informed that the platform we
propose to adopt censures the back-pay leg
islation, and if nobody else will vote for my
motion, I will.
Hobert Monaghan, of Chester, said that
Mr. Speer had been his life-long friend, but
the great good of his party and of his coun
try demanded at Ins hands a very delicate
duty. The Democratic constituency of the
State demand the exercise of our duty with
out fear, favor, or.partiality. Whether the

about the constitutional right claimed for

appeal to Mr. Speer, as my personal friend
to withdraw from the position for which he
has' been named. • •-
Mr. J. Lawrence Getz, of Berks; said that
he had been in Congress, had voted foithe
back pay, and taken it. -
Hissing front all parts of the house inter
rupted him. - -
-"
All geese can hiss," said the speaker.—
Renewed hissing greeted this remark.
" I knoW all about this back pay," con
tinned Mr. Gatz, "and Mr. Speer always
voted against it. - I don't know whether lie
took it, or not." _ -
Mr. MeCarrigan: I only desire to say
that I do not know'whether Mr. Speer, took
this back pay or not; but what have- we to
do with that? . We might as well repudiate
Hon. Edgar Cowan: and Ron, Charles R.
Buckalew because in the Thirty-ninth Con
gress they both voted for the increase of
pay from $3,000 to $5,000, and it was retro
active, and they took it.
Mr. W. D. Moore, of Pittsburgh: I would
not, perhaps, have said anything :on this
subject had not the gentleman from Phila
delphia so widely ,misquoted the - record.—
My preceptor in tlielaw, 31r. Edgar Cowan,
never voted, for any increase of his pay, and
never will. [lmmense applause.] Nor do
I need to say that did not Charles R. Buck
alew.
Mr. McCarrigan: He did.
Capt. Charles R. Brockway, of Columbia:
You're a damned liar.
Hon.. Samuel J. Randall: He 41 'vote
for it, and took it, too.
Mr. McCarrigan. They did do it.
Mr. Moore: They did: not do it; [ap
plause;] nor can I understand how any man
who regards honor and conscience more
than plunder and greed could either be per
suaded to do it or to justify it after it is
done. [lmmense cheering.] .
Mr. McCarrigan: Will you yield to me?
Mr. Moore: No, sir; you can reply. •
Mr. McCarrigan: Then Ilise to a ques
tion of privilege; and I say these gentle
men did vote for and take this money.
Mr. Moore: That is not a question of
privilege; it is a question of fact.

health and tone to the whole being., They 'cure not
only the every day complaints of everybody, but •

great benefits they have derived from these Pills.—
They are the safest and best physic for children, be

they are easy to take; and being purely vegetable,
they are entirely harmless.
