IT IS REPORTED that Governor Scott will
veto the bill to provide for the payment in
coin of the interest on the State debt. His
Excellency is not opposed to the bill, which
was introduced with his approval and is
fathered by his financial pet, but lie may
have sold out his bonds, or be mad because
the House would not agree to pay principal
as well as interest in coin. And if he does
veto the bill, we suppose that it will be part
of the programme to pass it over the veto
without more ado In this way Scott will
seem anxious to save his "beloved State, y
and the bond and stock Ring will not be
disappointed.

said that one Of the objects Of the convention
was to secure land for the laborers OF the South,
so that they may become permanent settlers and
independent citizens. There are eight millions Of
acres Of land that mag be used by Congress to
secure these results, and they desire to secure
the Presidents influence to prevent any renewal
OF the lapsed land grants to railways and other
corporations to the detriment of actual settlers.
The President replied that he could only aid the
matter by suggestion and recommendation, and
that he would give the matter his attention.

THE Radical members ofthe South Caro-
lima Legislature are usually in the market,
but their price-not to put too tine point
upon its leeAe high, considering the
quality of the article. During the debate
on the bill to pay the State debt in coin,
votes in its favor sold at from $40 to 5000.
One comfort is that votes will be cheaper
later in the session. The members take q
practical view of things, and count their
honors and dignities by dollars:

RoBERT IREpELL, JR..-Edit0r Leh'gh
Register. Sir: | have Just come IN
possession of vour paper of the 28th of July,
1869. in which YOU have an article headed
CASA Packer as a Benefactor." by which
you do him great injustice, after paying
Just and nerited tribute of respect to my
husband for sacrificing his own life to save
the lives of others. You say that his widow.
who had several children, and was left des-
titute, applied time and again, aud piteous
ly, to Asa Packer for aid, and he finally told
her she could open peanut stand at the
Mauch Chunk depot, and he would not
charge her any rent. Now the above re-
proach is utterly untrue. Judge Packer
never made any such proposition, and feel
it to be my duty, as well as an act Of justice,
to have this made public. You say that l
"appfed time and again" | had but one
interview with Judge Packer; his manner
toward me was kind and considerate, and
while speaking cf the conduct of my hus-
band at the sad accident which cost him his
life, he showed much feeling, and said 1t
was Que Of the noblest acts that he had ever
heard of. and assured me that my family
should be provided for. After the death ana
burial, all the funeral expenses and physl-
clans bills were paid. my house rent was
paid for one year from that time. l was
supplied with wood and coal for the winter,
= sewing machine was sent to my house, and
a beautiful shaft monument of italian mar
ble, with an appropriate inscription, enclo-
sed in a substantial railing fence, was erect
ed to the memory of my husband. Aud
further, I have received twenty-five (S25)
dollars per month. and am to receive that
amount for the term of ten years from the
time Of his death. BY giving the above an
Insertion in your paper. you viii not only
do an act Of Justice to Judge Packer. but
viii much oblige one who has good reason
to hold him in the highest esteem. Please
send me a copy of your paper, with the
above inserted, to Box 1876, Mauch Chunk,
Pa, and oblige, Very truly.

A Foul Libel.

Some few years ago a locomotive en8i-
neer on the Lehigh Valley Railroad, named
Jacob Myers, lost his life in an effort to save
his train from destruction. His conduct on
the occasion was considered heroic and wor-
thy the highest consideration. The Lehigh
Reqister, the organ Of the radical party in
Carbon county, in referring to the death OF
Myers, takes occasion to publish the follow
ing infamous libel on Judge Packer:
"a noble engineer on passenger train on
Asa Packers road saw danger ahead. he
could have jumped from the engine and
saved his life, and wrecked the train. But
he stuck to his post heroically, was killed,
but the train was saved. His widow, who
had several children, and was left destitute
applied time and again, and piteously, 10
Asa Packer. for aid. and finally he told her
she could open peanut stand at the Mauch
Chunk depot, aud he would not charge her
any rent. Noble man !"
The conduct here attributed to Asa Packer
is so foreign to his we'll known character.
that full and complete denial of this das-
tardly charge was to have been expected.
Nor has it been long in making its appear
ance. The widow OF Ny ers resides in Mauch
Chunk, where this libel on Judge Packer
was perpetrated, and whore all the facts oc-
curing subsequent to the death of Mr..
Myers are we'll known. This being the case,
the downright malignity Of this radical edi-
tor, in pennins the foregoing scandalous
paragraph, is not easily explained, except
4ha oF bo al Of
his nature. The widow, Mrs. Myers. feeling
indignant at this base and cowardiy assault
upon Judge Packer, and knowing full well
that it did not contain one word of truth,
addressed to the editor the following en-
phatic denial Of the charge. If he had pos
sessed any Of the feelings of a gentleman he
would have been as prompt to publish the
denial as he was to make the accusation
But he refused to do so, thus proving. be-
yond all question, that his original intention
was to utter deliberate falsehood.
These frequent assaults upon the good
name and reputation Of Judge Packer ema-
nate from editors who boastingly claim that
they belong to the "GoG and morality par
ty." It is species of impudent hypocrisy
not to be tolerated. These attacks on Judge
Packer can do him no possible injury, and
will only recoil with redoubled force on the
heads Of their guilty authors. 1t is surely
a weak cause that attempts to sustain itself
by falsehood and malice. and will sisnally
fail in accomplishing its purpose. Here is
the letter Of Mrs. Myers, which places the
conduct of Judge Packer in its true light,

The Democrats Of the Senatorial district,
composed of Columbia, Noutour, Northum-
berlaud and Sullivan counties, at their Con-
ference held on Saturday last. nominated
Hon. Charles p. Buckalew.
The above paragraph is current news in
our exchanges. As we have heretofore taken
occasion to refer to the failure of the Senate
rial conferees, at their meeting on the 9th
inst, to harmonize the differences between
Messrs. Buckalew and Chafant, we viii be
gratifed to know that the above statement
is correct. 1t is a matter Of great impor
tance to the democratic party, that the
breach in that strong democratic district
should be healed. Will the Harrisburg Pa
triot be good enough to state whether it is
true that Mr.. Buckalew has been nomina-
ted, and if so, when and where?

Geary and the Mexican war

An intensely radical editor in neighbor-
ing county. in referring to John w. Geary's
military career in Mexico, eulogizes him in
the following language:
"'Fhe battles Of La TIoya, Ceyro Gordo,
Chapultepec, and Mexico, in the Mexican
war, have known him conspjcuonsly."
When radical newspaper editor rashly
undertakes to write about the military opera
tions of Geary during the Mexican war, and
the glory be therein achieved, he ought to
be extremely cautiou1, lest, like fool, he
may perchauce rush in whore angels fear
to t-ead.'' To Us in Cambria county John
W. Geary's record during the Mexican war
is as familiar as household words. Many of
the volunteers who went with him as their
captain. aud who subsequently, were under
his command as colonel of the Second Penn
svlvania Regiment, still reside in this coun-
ty, and they entertain no1o, as they did lchen
Mey returned in July, 1913, vivid recolIec-
ton of Geary's military conduct. In the
first place. then, Geary tcas not at the battle
of Cerro Gordo at aU The Cambria county
volunteers, owing to tic small pox having
broken oui on board Of the vessel which was
transporting them from New Orleans to
Vera Cruz, had been disCmbarked at Lobos
Island. in the Gulf Of Mexico. where they
remained some time, and had only reached
Vera Cruz day or two before the battle Of
Cerro Gordo took place. La Hoya is sttu-
ated between Jalappa and Perote. Chapul-
tepec is within sight Of the city Of Mexico.
At the former place there was merely run
ming fight or skirmish-not a battle. At
Chapultepec there lcGS fierce aud sangui-
nary struggle We will admit that both at
La Hoya and Chapultepec Geary was ''Har
or Hqyabouts," to use the expressive Ian
euage of hard-shelI colored Baptist preach
er in Georgia, in reference to the disputed
question, "Was Moses preseat at the build
ing Of the tower Of Babel ~ 1t was Geary's
cowardly and disgraceful conduct at Chapu-
tepec which so excited the indignation Of the
Pennsylvania troops under his command.
and which sent him back TO the State brand
ed with dishonor It was in consequence Of
that very conduct that, as soon as the vols
unteers returned to this State, an indignation
meeting against John ". Geary was help
by the Fayette county sol liers, the proceed
ings of which were recently published in
this paper. and it was for precisely the same
cause that similar meeting was held in the
Court House in this place By the Cambria
county volunteers. No true friend Of John
w. Geary ought ever refer to, much less at
tempt to vindicate, his military career in
Mexico. The most profound silence on that
subject is what he expects and desires, and
what his political friends ought in all chari-
ty generously conc5de to him.

A Wise Movement.

1t has been no secret that ever since the
nominations for city and county officers by
the democracy of Philadelphia, feeling of
widespread dissatisfaction has prevailed ia
reference to them. This became so mani
fest to the candidates themselves, that they
have very prudentiy taken time by the fore
lock, and have all resigned For doing so
they deserve special credit. The following
EaH ticket was placed in nomination. 1t is
composed of the most prominent and reliable
democrats in the city, aud will receive
strong, cordial and united support:
. City Treasurer-Col. Wm. G. Patterson.
City Commissioner-Ma John r. Coke.
Recorder of Deeds-John G. Brenner.
Prothonotary of District Court-Wash-
ington j. Jackson.
Clerk of the Court Of Quarter Sessions
David W.. Sellers.
Coroner-Joseph M. Reichard.
This auspicous movement should be
promptly followed up by thorough recon~
structlon of the Legislative ticket. From
