Messenger of Dußois had been killed ip a railroad accident and that his funeral would take place on 'Tuesday, Sept. 2d. The father, Mr Messenger accompan ied by a daughter and son Mrs. A. J- Hackley and E. J. Messenger left for Dußois on Monday and attended f,he funeral .on Tuesday. The un timely death of Mr. Messenger was sorely felt by his many relatives of this place. W.e have been unable to 1 leajrn the particulars of the accident. Mr. Emery's Charges. Some weeks ago in a public speech ex Senator Lewis Emery, Jr., preferred certain charges of a very general character against Senator Delrtmatcr, than a candidate for tlie Republican noi-ination for Gover nor, Mr. Emery himself being a can didate for the Congressional nomin ation from his district- These charges 110 one believed except those who are anxious to bel'eve them. Mr. Emery said the Republicans would not nominate Mr. Delamater' These charges were pi veil every possible publicity in the State. As a result Mf. Delamater, was nomin ated for Governor and Mr. Emery was not. nominated for Congress. Mr. Emery practically requested Mr. Delamater to sue him for libel. This most astonishing request was not complied with, nor did Mr. Delamater make any reply at the time, feeling it would be indelicate to do so before the convention met. We are not aware that it is the custom of slandered candidates to sue their slanderers for libel. We do not remember that Lincoln ever sued one of his defamers. We greatly mistake if General Grant ever asked satisfaction of the courts for any of the outrageous dander published about him; in fact, there has not been a leading statesman against whom the shafts of calumny have net been aimed and libel suits have been very few. The public realizes that ever successful man must expect to be maligned by his enemies; even the saints and sapes have not escaped. It is part of the price. Rut Senator Delamater has, since the canvass opened, replied in most vigorous, emphatic and direct langu age to Mr. Emery's charges, deny ing them in a way that has con vinced everyoncj not predisposed to believa everything that coulu be said against the Republican can didate and.nothing that could be said in his favor. The testimony of all who knew him was enough to convince all but the most hyper critical, and to do this is added Mr. Delamatcr's manly denial. To this Mr. Emery replied in the following singular dispatch to certain Demo cratic papers: BRADFORD, Aug. J6. I propose, at a time and place not yet determined upon, to give the public a bunch of facts as undeniable as Mr. Delamater's Chftmbersburg denial was broad and inexplicit. The day in which unscrupulous politicians could sweep away with a wave of.the hand Btains of corrup tion with which they are tainted has gone by with me and should be with every thiuking and well-meaning citizen in the State. LEWIS EMERY, JR. So, it seems, Mr, Fmery did not have his alleged facts ready when he made his speech last spring, and he apparently does not know when he will have them. Why does he delay in this matter? Simply be cause he cannot deliver the goods. We agree with him that the stains of corruption cannot be swept away with a wave of the hand ; but we do not know what that has to do with Senator Delamater. He is not stained with corruption. Mr. Emery's charges do not constitute a slain. His voice alone ha& been raised against the candidate while there have been thousands to bear wdling testimony that Mr. Delamater is an honorable man, a virtuous citizen, conscientious alike in thp performance of private business and public duty.—Philadelphia Inquirer.
