SATURDAY last we charged prominent
Radical protectioDist with supporting Nor
rell after he voted in favor of the reduction
of tariff on pig iron two dollars ton Mr..
Radical at once declared. ''Of course Morrell
would vote for reduction of the tariff on
pig iron I; it was self-interest with him. and
of course he would vote in his own in
terests." This solf-interest has, unfortu-
nately. governed all Mr.. MorrelI's Official

VIM II. RosE, ESQ. Dear Sir Ny atten-
ton having been called to certificate in the
last Johnstown Tribune, signed by A. Cope
lin and others, and being informed by one OF
the signers to that document that | am the
person who it is there reported assumed to act
by your authority in making or agreeing to
make pledge in favor of Removal ;" deem
it but just to you to make the following state
ment in denial thereof:
During some of the preliminary converse
tions with reference to Removal" the pro-
prietv of attempting to control the Democratic
County Convention and nominating therein a
candidate favorable to Removal was DISCUSSED,
and as you had already made some progress in
the canvass for the Democratic nomination, it
was suggested that yoC might be willing to
give pledge satisfactory to the Removal men.
A written pledge was drawn up, which it was
suggested should be shown to you, after first
securing from Mr.. Boggs, of the Cambris Iron
Company an assurance that sufficient funds
would be provided to secure your nomination
and election if you would consent to give the
required pledge. carried the pledge to Mr..
Boggs myself, who took exception to some of
the verbal parts thereof, but who thought that
with some assistance from the people up
town the required amount Isl ,50000) could
be raised. ] then returned the pledge to Nc
Laughlin (who had written itl and afterwards
sought casual opportunity to converse with
you, and by incidental conversation / learned
that you would give no pledge whatever in
favor of Removal, either open private. In
fact, you repudiated the whole thing. or
course no pledge was submitted to you. At
the meeting thereafter / could not assume to
act and did not act by your authority for any
purpose, much less for the purpose of offering
any pledge. could not have said that had
your authority for that purpose for / had no
such authority from you, and did not say that

The trial of Mcfarland for the murder
of A. D. Richardson, in New York,
last November, as all our readers prob
ably now know, resulted in the acquit-
tai OF the "insane" husband. We ask
no odds as to our high regard for the
marriage relationship most sacred of
all relations on earth. But, having
read everything in regard to this extra
ordinary afair-all the facts from the be-
ginning to the end, including the trial,
Mrs. Mcfarland Richardson's state
ment in the Tribune, and the "brute"
of husbands letters from her, publish
ed since her statement-we pronounce
unequivocally in favor of Mrs. McFar-
land Richardson, the lady in the care.
Mcfarland, the jury to the contrary
Notwithstanding, was wilful murderer,
and all the shadow of excuse he ever
hal was taken away the first time he
shot Richardson.
We are not in the remotest degree
tinctured with "free-lovism," but when
every blackleg, every frequenter of the
slums and cess.pools of NewYork, every
Scoundrel of what ever line, every wo-
man Of the lowest grade, and every
"lady" from the whited-sepulchres,
takes the side of the murderer, it may be
regarded as safe to be on the other side

"Albert D. Richardson was my friend
l have travelled and camped with him
when we were almost alone upon the
vast solitude of the plains, and knew
him as brave, generous and noble. |
never heard any one breathe whisper to
his discredit until this trouble arose. That
he could be guilty of seducing a wife
from her husband, is contrary to all l
ever knew or believed of him-that he
should deliberately resolve to install
woman known to him as lewd and wan
ton, is to me utterly incredible, l am
sure that the truth which underies this
tragedy has not yet been told, at all
events is not generally understood.
Richardson is dead, and cannot speak
for himself; his memory must be vim
dicated by the efforts of his surviving
friends, or not at all, aud those efforts
must be put forth under great disad-
vantage. ge."-HoRAcE GREELEY.

10! when the newly enfranchised came
to the ballot boxes, Judge Of their
amazement upon learning that White
repeaters had already voted upon nearly
FIVE hundred Of their names! And, as
an exquisitely ridiculous commentary
upon this audaoious proceeding, when
few negroes subsequently tried to vote
on their own names, they were arrested
as repeaters!
"The repeaters scarcely tried TO
avoid discovery. Young Scoundrels,
after voting upon one set Of names, un-
der certain DISCUSSES, would Pally into
the street, and within sight of the poll
ing-places exchange and mix up their
DISCUSSES, and then go back and vote
again under another set of names.
"The regular price for spurious votes
in certain localities was fifteen dollars
each. After pocketing the wages Of
iniquity, men would openly boast that
they had made good thing out of the
swindle."
-"Have you no law in New York!"
asks a horriied ruralist. Yes, Sir;
plenty of law, but no justice. The vii
lains who make farce of the right Of
suffrage feel safe in their consciousness
that those who own and run the whole
machinery of our criminal jurisprudence
are their confederates Didn't we
vote for the Tammany Ring7 And
doesn't the Ring own all the Judgesi
Are they not the breath of its nostrilsi
And shall we be punished for making
sure the calling and election of Tam
many's candidatesl Not much! Then
who's afraid I" Such was the logic

voteS were scored up for Church & Co.
in the With Ward, wherein less than
Three Thousand Democratic voters live;
and Of these a large proportion did not
vote. The frauds in the I'D, Hid, lVth,
With, With, With, and several other
Wards, were barely less atrocious.
We have not hitherto urged the pas
sage by Congress of Judge Davis's bill
regulating elections for Representatives
in Congress aud Presidential Electors,
and furnishing frauds in the casting and
the return of notes: Now, we do urge
it. Let us have the bill passed at this
Session, and made so stringent in its
penalties that villains will not dare to
defy them. Our trouble now is, not
that the laws are ineffective, but that
their violators feel sure that Democrat
ic officials will not punish them for
swelling Democratic majorities. SO
they rob US by wholesale, and laugh at
our exposures and rcmonstrances.
1t is the duty of Congress to take
care that the verdict of the people be
not falsi6ed by fraud, as it was in the
vote of this State for President, &C., in
1868. Failing such legislation, we
may have President and a Congress
constituted by fraud, and the wbolt
power Of the Government welded to
crush out resistance to that fraud. We
habitually suffer by frauds at elections

A new lesson is being given on the
conduct of wives by the comments OF
many husbandS on the letters of Mrs.
Mcfarland to her husband, which that
lovely being is giving to the licentious
press for publication. This cOmmen-
tary seems TO assume that because Mrs.
Mcfarland addressed him as Dear
husband" and subscribed herself his
glowing wife," and because she told
him Of her little econ omies, when she
was obliged to go to her mothers be-
cause he could not support her; and
how she fixed up her old dresses and
ribbons, and made herself the neatest
dressed woman in church, and told him
abOu their child, and wrote other lit
tie endearments-and all this after his
wild Irish temper had given her cause
enough for separation, that therefore
she could not have any cause, and her
story is false. Mcfarland is publishing
all his wife's letters to him to make such
a case. 1t seems then TO be the proper
course for wife. as these husbands
view it, when her husband has treated
her cruelty, to address him only in word
and style of elimination and reproach;
to make no effort TO overcome him by
patience and affectionatc treatment, but
to call him monster every time she
addresses him. We suppose these nice
husbands think so, for by this rule they
condemn Mrs. Mcfarland and Justify
the sweet Mcfarland. Cincinnati Ga

The most marked impression ever
produced in single day by the writing
Of any woman was that wrought yes
tOrdSy in New York and throughout
the country by the pitiful story of Mrs.
Richardson, as published in The Tribune.
This remarkable document was given us
by Mrs Richardson on Monday after.
noon, with the single injunction that
under no circumstances should it be
published until alter the, verdict had
been rendered in tho Mcfarland case,
90 that by no possibility could it affect
the chances Of the wretch who was once
her husband, 1t was put in type from
the manuscript in her own handwriting,
with here and there her own changes,
erasures and interim cations, on Tue g.
day afternoon, in the belief that the
charge and verdict were not TO be ex
pectSd until the next day, and that
there would thus be ample time for her
revision. AS it was, we were oompell-
ed TO 60 to press without her having
had an opportunity even to read all the
proofs. A few people, who are free to
express opinions without knowledge,
have complained that the striking seal
ed letter Of Mr.. Richardson's left to be
opened in ease of his death, was not
offered In the trial. If they had taken
the pains to read the evidence as report
ed, they would have seen that it was Of
fered, and ruled out. ~, Y. Tribune.

A White Woman Charges q Negro

Catherine Grimes, an Irish girl about
eighteen years Of age, who lives in New.
ark, came to the city a few days since to
enter complaint against John Hackley
cOlored man employed as porter of one
of the Pittsburg sleeping cars. The
girl charges that Hackley Is the father of
her unborn child, that he seduoed her
under promise Of marriage, aud she now
asks that he be compelled to marry her.
She came to the city to have Hackley ar
rested, but-it was discovered that he
had left the city and the State, and all
efforts to get hold of him ended in moth
ing. The case is q very peculiar one,
and as an officer has held warrant for
Hackley's arrest for some days it was
thought the facts would come out in the
investigation. The girl seemed deter
mined that Hackley shall marry her, and

Nr. Mackley:
SIR-Reading in the Standard l see
something Of this kind: The late Al
leniah Cole He has been dead three
years or more, The late Mr.. Steece
of Mt, Vernon Furnace He has been
dead rising twenty years.
A lady friend of mine asked me what
it meant. could not tell her. So, if
you will, please tell us, in the STAND
ARD, and you will oblige one of its
readers, what is the meaning of late!"
There is no name signed TO the
above letter, and we are under no obli-
cation to answer it, but as this lady is
a reader of the STANDARD. and this
evinces good sense, we will answer.
The word ''late" has various defni-
tions; but the sense in which we used
it, is thus defined BY Webster:
IS. Last, or recently in any place,
office, or character; as the late ministry;
the late administration"
1t evidently would not have been cor
rect to say "Mr. Cole of Bloom Fur
mace" or "Mr. Steece of Mt. Vernon
Furnace" as then it would appear as il
these gentlemen were still living 1t
would have required too much space,
and been too prolix, to say, "Georgs
Steece, of Mt, Vernon Furnace, who
died in the South, of Cholera, in the
year 1880" SO the word slate" shows
that be is dead.
How long after death can he be
called "late"i We hold, any time short.

50 years. Last year we saw in lead

Tyrone Power" He was distinguish
ed Irish poet and tragedian, who start
ed to Europe in the steamship Presl-
dent, more than a quarter Of a century
ago, and the ship has never been heard
from since.
The war between the United States
and Great Britain, of lsia-l5, was
called the slate war" up to the COM
