WEDNESDAY,. ; MAY 216, 1869
We are obliged to Senator Cameron
for a copy of Senator kumner's speech
upon the relations of England and the
United States, which has caused such
commotion on both sides of •the water.
It is an able and exhaustive speech.,
' Collector Bubb has appointed W. E.
,Adams, Esq., of Mansfield, Deputy
Collector for Tioga County. Mr. Ad
ams is one of our most deserving and
popular young men and will make a
good officer.
Assessor Bowen -has appo nt ea M. V.
Purple, Esq., Assistant Assessor for the
)ttl Division in this county. fir. Pur
ple is au active and prompt' business
man, and will, without doubt' make a
popular officer.
Mr. Bowen has appointed Hugh
Young, Esq., of this borough his Chief
Clerk. Mr. iYoung is one of the best
accountants in the district, ,and a rapid
and correct worker. We congratulate
him.
• We commend to all men, young nal
old, but especially -to Mechanics, The
Manufacturer and Builder, a fine
Monthly Magazine, of 30 quarto pages.
It is full of interesting information,
beaUtifutly illustrated, and costs but 15
cents a month. Young & Co., will fur
nish the Magazine, or it may be or
dered by mail, of Western 4-, Co., 87
Park How, New York, $1,50 13er annum.
Connecticut has adopted the , XVTit
Amendment, thus redeeming the dis
grace of its fdriner cowardly action on
the impartial suffrage question. Im
partial suirr4ge can work no injury in
that State, at least. Its legislators have
wisely prescribed an educational quali
fication for voting. The only danger
from a free ballot is by the way of the
ignorant and stupid, who, take their
ballots from the hands of dishonest
politicians and go become the instru
ments of outrage. -
A cotemporary advertises a circus and,
Menagerie establishment, and in a no
tice of the concern says, that however
mubh sonic may object to visiting a
circus, none can object to visiting a
menagerie. That reminds us thata few
wild beasts can take the "cuss" off a
nuisance, just as thesugar Coating con
ceals and makes palatable a 'cathartic
pill. Neither circuses nor 'menagerie's,
pc/• se, are bad ; it is the surroundings
of these wandering shows which wprks
the injury to society. Of course Well s
boro will come in for its share—in due
IMINIE
We see by the Corry Republican that
a large number of the citizens of that
city have publicly solicited Chas. 0.
Bowman, Esq., formerly of this coun
ty, to permit the use of his name as a
candidate for the Legislature. Mr.
Bowman replies, accepting the invita
tion, but states that he cannot abandon
his professional business, even tempor
atialy, without sacrifice. The invita
tion is one of which Mr. _Bowman 'nay
be proud, and among the names we
recognize several of prominent Repub
licans. We congratulate Mr. Bowman
upon his success in life.
THE VALUE OF HUMAN LIFE
The sanctity of human life varies its
widely as men themselves. The Thug
of India may be supposed to represent
the lowest reg,a . rd for it; the madcrer
in Christian lands, not being profesion
ally a murderer, may claim to stand a
step higher. The A lexanders and No
poleons, the Charles the Twelfths and
the American Indian, may take a little
higher rank-. The big
upon human life wil
among men and wo
either mental, moral,
combined,
We are not reminder
by the prevalece
crime alone. "The mai i } who makes a
glutton of himself, and the man who
keeps himself pickled with, whisky, -1
each, exhibits a wanton disregard for
the sanctity df human life. However,•
it was not the recklessness of ,he glut
ton and drunkdrd which moved us to
write_the caption foregoing. In fact, it
was nothing occurring here, or here
about, which set us to reflecting - upon
the varying degrees of regard for the
lives of men and women. Rather, it
was the relation of a most painful oc
currence in the Clinton Pepabficmt,
published at Lock Haven.
On Saturday evening, ;4th inst., Dr.
H. A. Liehtenthaler, a citizen of that
village, a drunkard as well as a lover
and owner of fast horses, drove down
Main Street in that village at a pace
rated at a mile in thrfe minutes. Main
St., Lock Haven, is ilnt, so wide as
Main-St., AVellshoro, by forty feet, at
blast, and is, moreover, always crowded.
We know or no street, in Harrisburg
which presbnts ,so lively anappear
ance as Maiit-St., Lock Haven.
At the,4lie time that this reckless
Doctor was driving furiously down that
crowded street, two ladies were crossing
it in the center of the business portion.
The Doctor was seated in a light, noise
less trotting skeleton, and' amid the
hum of business the ladies failed to
hear the approach of the vehicle which
was freighted with destruction to the
peace of two families. OR canie the
fast trotting horse and the drunken,
reckless driver, and in a twinkling was'
upon the two.ladies mentioned. The
shaft of the wagon struck one of the
ladies behind the ,ear, flinging her
twenty feet down the street, and crush
ing her skull. -The 't her lady was flung
)
with great violene o the ground, and
maimed for life.. The first mentioned
victim never spoke again.
We hear that the indignation or the
people was very great—at which we do
1 (
not wonder. We hear, also, that while
the dying wo nan was being taken up,
the drunken doctor indulged in horrid
profanity, and was finally taken on' the
ground. He was arrested and held to
bail for his appearance at Court.—
Meanwhile Mr. Adam Anthony follow
ed the body of his murdered wife to
the grave, and the living victim lay
hovering between life and death, sin
rounded by relatives and friends, ncne
of whom, we presume, own fast horses
and drive them furiously through the
crowded thoroughfares.
But some one may ask, where were
the borough authorities that they did
not make such recklessness punishable,
and so prevent the awful calamity ?
We reply—the affairs . of Lock Haven
are administered by men of the same
stamp as that murderous doctor; men
of reckless character and not altogeth
er exemplary lives. But apart from
that, Sobriety and Decency do not com
mand the highest premium in Lock
Haven. It is a village badly (Imin:wal
tzed by the liquor traffic. After that
conies the deluge of crimes and mis
demeanon-i.
What)mtne will you give this act by
which ohe human being is hurled into
eternity without warning, and another
maimed and bruised almost beyond re
covery? Not wilful murder; no; for
who supposes that Dr. Lichtonthaler
intended to cause the death of any per
son? Nobody supposes that. What
then ? If a man goes out to shoot Ibis
neighbor's horAe, and by mistake gills
the owner, what then? Why, the fact
that the offender was contemplatih i g a
breaph Of the law estops him from
pleading . intention in bar of severe
punishment. Such a man would be
guilty of manslaughter, at least.
Dr. Lichtenthaler's case is parallel.
He was deliberately breaking the peace
of the borough and endangering the
litnbs and lives of hundreds. He is
clearly and flagrantly guilty of man
slaughter. People who do put some
sort of value upon human life are wait
ing to see if a jury of Clinton County
men will punish the man who values
the speed of a horse above human• life,
as his crime merits, or whether they
will turn him loose, to work the death
of other innocent persons, his social
and moral superiors., We confess that
our doubts of his punishment aro
strong. And yet, as a warning to other
reckless drivers, not in Lock Haven
'alone, we fervently hope that the eyes
of Justice may not in the case before
us be dazzled by the false glitter of the
culprit's life, his fast horses and his
connections.
The jersey Shore riddle, in remark
ing Upon this calamity, complains - that
the offender is suffered to run at large,
and says—" Were we the husband of
that murdered woman it would be safer
for hini inside the jail than out." We
ameciate that burst, friend Jones, for
it tines from the heart of a man who
has no sympathies with moral rotten
ness, though •it walk in broadcloth.—
But when the Courts refuse to protect
the lives of ihen and women in the
highways, it will be time enough for.
Mr. Anthony to take the law into his
own hands.
The Registry law, under the provis
ions of which the next election in this
State will be held, comes in for a large
share of abuse from the Copperhead
papers. We have carefully digested
the law in another column, and call at
tention to its provisions. So far as we
can see it does not render it more costly
or difficult for the legal voter to vote
than the old law. But it will be seen
that it does interfere dii(ectly with 'lcof
fee-colored naturalization papers and
the system of colonization and " re
peating," so much in vogue with our
opponents. Up to this'' time we have
not seen an objection to any measure
intended to prevent frauds in elections,
raised by any but the Copperheads.—
When it is considered that some 60,010
fraudulent votes were Cast for Seymour
ill New - York State last fall, and more
than Thoo in Philadelphia at the State
election, th necessity of the law, as
well as the mason for Copperhead abuse
of it, will be readily comprehended.
The man wile sits as Mayor in Phila
delphia to-day was elected by fraudu
lent, votes. Gov- Hoffman, of New
York, undoubtedly owes his position to
fraudulent voting. What more nat
ural than that the party of frauds
should protest against laws for the pre
vention of frauds? The Registry law
is not oppressive to any but those who
contemplate fraudulent voting.
iestestitnate put
he found only
nen of culture,
spiritual, or all,
of these things
acknowledged
Contrary to the predictions of ene
mies and false friends, but as we ex
pected, the Philadelphia delegation to
the Republican Convention is nearly
unanimous for the renomination of
Gov Geary. We have never doubted
his renomination, for the reason that
we believe that a layge, majority of the
Republican party is not composed of
thieves and jobbers The "Ring" have
been villifying the Governor for two
years. He doubtless has faults, but he
will neither steal, nor permit others to
do so, where he has the power to protect
the treasury. His renomination should
be by acclamation. As the Governor
of Kansas in the hour of its trial he per
formed effective service hi the cause of
justice and fair play. In the war of the
rebellion ho won new laurels, and as
Jlevernor of Pennsylvania his record
will not suffer by comparison with that
of the best of his predecessors. His re
election will be an endorsement of
economy and integrity.
THE VEXED QUESTION.—
tal" write; :
Your Illossburg correspondent evidently flat
ters himself that ho has laid "Accidental" out,
cold and stiff, and Oh ! so saute, that not even a
murmur of his demolished victim. can ever reach
the car of this literary whale, who Karst], depths
may he "too deep" fur him.
I cannot understand why Mr. 11., Should com
plain of 'levasion," having proved himself an ad.
complish4d dodger. 1 asked him, if ho would
make tho•wholo electoral class the basis of party
representation ; and he replies more in the man
ner of the true yankee, than I had supposedprob
ahle, by a:sk•ing another question, "It• ho
(" Acci") k 110 M s of any place where only a part
of the voting class are made the basis of repre
sentation ?" changing the question entirely.
'lO state the question concisely, 1 ask Mr.
llotlands if lie would Intike the basis of repre
sentation larger than the clasi privileged to vote
caucus;in and lie replies: '•would you make it
lee ?" who evades ? I discussed the question raised
at the outset, and as yet my arguments remain
unanswered.
1 did not step into the trap ct for me, and
probably my declining to do so, is the true cause
of disquietude on the part of my friend at Bloss.
I do know that all Republics aro not demo
cracies, and ours among the number. A govern
ment where the laws aro made by representatives,
and ono whore the laws aro made by direct voice
of the people, aro two distinct governments. Will
" No rogue e'er felt the halter draw
With good opinion of the law."
not some one lend friend If.' Webster's or, if he
prefers it, Worcester's unabridged Dictionary ?
It is probable that I may sometimebe placed
on trial for not knowing nit much as the •law
allows; but it is to be hoped' that the jury will
not, any of them, fear for themselves, 'indictment
upon the same charge. .
As regards any ono district sending but half of
a delegate, I fear no other than Blossburg is
ec ual to the feat.
Hereafter, whether "germane" or not, I hope
my friend will "stick" to the question. I think
he is working in the right direction, but I shall
contend that only those having a voice in choos
'ing delegates be made the basis of representation,
'until some good and satisfactory reason is given
why it should not be so. Parties and not peoples
arc represented in a party eaueutror 'Convention.
ACCIDENTAL.
A SPECK OF WAR.—"SOIII4bOdy,"
e Mansfield correspondent of the Elmira Adver
er, takes our Tioga "local" to do, thus :
"Mr Snobbleton may know that if I-am a sec
ond Rip Van Winkle, lam too wide awake now
to mistake him for myself as old Rip (lid his
son. And fortheti, ho may know that I sin not
obliged to let Lint know how many wild and
PNtratragant theories I have read br heard, nor do
I think it is any of his business what I believe 01
disbelieve. But this theory that the earth, sun,
moon, and all the bodies that• we can discover in
the heavens, are all living, breathing annuals, I
have certainly heard before now, but have always
considered like the irialnuans definition of motft-
physics, which was—" One man trying to explain
something to another ono that he know nothing
about himself; and not being able to Mako the
other one comprehend what ho meant. As to
what the gentleman says about my exposing my
ignorance to the nmerons readers of tno Agitator,
it reminds me of a homely old saying (that, like
all other old sayings,centainsa good doal of truth)

EDITOR AQ/TATOD :—Tho sixteenth Annual SOS
hion of the Grand Lodge of the Independent Or
der of Good Templars of Pennsylvania will com
mence in the city of Scranton on Tuesday, Btl
day of .June nezt, at 10 A. M. It is confidently
expected that the coming Session of this impor
tant organization will be ono of universal inter
est. With upward of six hundred Lodges of the
Order in this State, it is probable there will be
upward of 1000 Representatives and Delegates in
attendance. As Tioga county stands in the first
rank in this department of good work, I send for
information of the members of the order, the fol
lowing extract from a circular, issued by lion. S.
B. Chase, the G. W. C. T., for Penna.:
"The representatives to this session must be
elected by the respective Subordinate Lodges at
the first regular meeting in May.
"A representative must he a Third De,grce
member, and a member of the Lodge lie rep e
sents. •No Lodge can be represented by any but
its own members, and a transfer of membership
shall vacate a representative's seat." Cons. A.a.
1, sec. 5, IS6S, page 4.
(In new Constitution, Art. 1, see. 4, 'will be
seen the basis of representation : any full degree
member shall be eligible to election as represen
tative.)
"Alternate representatiVes may be chosen at
the same time, but they are only entitled to seats
in the absence of the principals." Chase's Digest,
7th ed., page 214, sec. 12 ;, Cons. Art. 1, sec. 4.
"AIL W. C. T.'s and P. W. C. T.'s, W. V. T.'s
and I'. W. and all Deputies in good stand
ing in theii• several Lodges, are entitled 'to the
Grand Lodge Degrees, and all the privileges of
membership- except voting. Proper certificates
of their' rank and good standing must be present
ed from their respective Lodges." Cons. Art. 1,
sec. 6 and 7:
"No representative or non-voting member can
ho admitted from Lodges which are in arrears to
the Grand Lodge for per capita tax, accrued be
fore the quarter ending April 30, 1660, (Cons.
Art. 1, sec. 7,) and strictly no Lodge will be en
titled to representation that has not made its re
turns for the quarter ending April 30, 1860, be
fore the morning of the first day's session, as the
only evidence which the Committee on Creden
tials can receive, of tho number of members each
Lodge contains, is the regular return sheet signed
by the officers of the Lodges for the quarter for
which the return is made, and the seal affixed, if
the Lodge has one."
"Each representative shall receive a regularly
attested certificate of election to this body, and
hold the same until called for by the Committee
on Credentials."
We hope to meet many of the Tloga county
Good Templars at Grand Lodge. Since I was
in your county wo-linvo had most successful meet
ings in Bradford aid Susquehanna, and found
the cause everywhorlq, prospering.
