The lireat EYnnS Steal.

The queerest thing out is the removal
of j. M. M'CLURE, Deputy Attorney
General, for ferreting out the great
EVANS theft Ordinarilya public officer
would be thanked for such action, as it
Is plainly a simple performance of duty
to the State. To watch the interests of
the State and to expose any villainy
that may be detected, all honest men
will hold is duty of those entrusted
with the care of its affairs, but for dis
charging this very duty the Radical
Attorney General, at the avowed dicta-
tion of the Radical Governor, removes
the officer who ferreted out one of the
most nefarlous pieces of rascality ever
perpetrated upon the State, and which
Is also swindle of the Federal govern.
ment! This act can be looked upon in
no other light than deliberate assump.
ton OF the crime by Gov. GEARY and
Attorney General BREWSTER. The
Philadelphia Ledger, a non bipartisan
paper, thus sums up the case:
The Deputy Attorney General "had
done an important and valuable service
to the people of the Commonwealth
he had exposed an enormous public
wrong he deserved high praise and
hearty encouragement from his super.
iors; but instead of that he il reward
ed by demand for his removal by the
Governor, and his actual expulsion by
the Attorney General. Why? Every
honorable man must ask this question:
why? And the Governor and the At.
tOrney General, by their extraordinary
course through the whole proceedings
In the matter, terminating In the expul-
sion of the officer who exposed the
gigantic fraud, justify the public in
looking to them for the answer"

Tho Corruptiou Slauler.

The Republican gave currency to the
slander that Mr.. SHAFFER had pur-
chased delegates and intimated that it
could prove the charge. When con.
fronted with fiat denial 1t began to
higglc-that somebody had told some.
body else that he had heard, &C., &c.
But we hold the promulgator squarely
to the point: prove your charge if you
can-as you know you can not, with
draw it like man-if you do neither,
then stand before the public convict
ed and confessed calumniator. There
is no escape-one or the other horn Of
the dilemma must be taken!
With all fair men ii is enough, when
a charge is made, for the defence to en-
ter a simple denial and challenge proof
If the accuser can not produce proof, he
must take the consequences of making
a false charge. In the case of all allc'
cations of bribery in reference to any
delegate in the late Democratic county
convention, or any candidate before it,
not only is the charge denied but the
accuser is defied to produce either proof
or reasonable semblance of proof! The
charge has not tho least foundation in
fact

More COrruDtiOn!

A committee o! Radical politicians
are now at Washington levying contri-
button to the corruption fund from the
various Government employees! All
the Secretaries have given their Penn
sylvania clerks leave of absence to at.
tend the election, Notwithstanding the
fact that they all voted at the Washing
ton city election! Let Democrats be
prepared for this fraud Where these
clerks appear to vote they ought to be
required to swear that they have no
other residence and have not voted in
any other State or Territory within six
months. In all cases where election
officers wrongfully receive their votes,
the culpable officers and fraudulent
voter ought to be promptly arrested.

THE people Of Centralia and the two
Conyngham districts, as general thing,
are an humble, hardworking and in.
dustrious people, having little business
connection with the rest Of the county,
for the most part pursue an altogether
different occupation from tho rest, are
of different nationality, having few
acquaintances and no relatives in the
other parts of the county-and q very
large majority of them, having fed
from oppression and tyranny in other
lands, vote with the Democratic party.
For the last reason they are grossly
slandered, and for the preceding rea.
sons 1t may be entirely safe to do so.
Whether it is either respectable or man.
ly, or in the least degree honorable, for
any man (much less nowspaper) TO do
so, we leave to the good sense OF an en-
lighted and generous people to deter
mine. We doubt whether there is n
worse pest in society than reckless or
loose tongued calumniator, and IL he
happens to have press at his command
the case is aggravated. We do not
know that the people referred TO care
any thing about their villiiiers or their
foul ISLANDERS, and wo incline TO the
opinion that the injury done TO the rest
of the community is greater than to
them, but political party that has no
better stock in trade ought to blush
to present its case to the public-ought
to retire to the rabble of viperous tat
tiers and common scolds. The defama.
ton of private citizens, and Of public
officers or candidates, is base, low and
unworthy, and tho venom that gives
rise to 1t is justly dc'pised by all right
thinking people. The party or com
munity that tolerates it will soon CEASE
to command respect, and although We
have felt compelled to notice some o
this sort Of thing lately we despiso i
too much even to make practice o
contradicting its falsehoods and slang

GEO. o. EVANS, a State war claim
agent, defrauded the State out of more
than 100000. Neither the Governor,
Auditor General, State Treasurer, or
Attorney General, Radical officials
whose business it was to see that the
money was paid into the State treasury,
took any notice of the fraud.
Finally Deputy in the Attorney
Generals Office discovered it. He at
once exposed the villainy. Notwith-
standing the fact that no efforts were
made to punish the villain who stole
the money Of the STATE or to compel
him to pay back that which he stole,
until public opinion compelled such
action, the humble Deputy is removed
from Office for telling the public about
the theft The thief who stole is left
scott.free for years, but the man who
told on him is promptly punished
Such is the conduct of Radical office.

THE Radicals hold their delegate

whole affair and the Republican masses
have no more to do with it than their
brethren in Ethiopia. The bargain is
concluded, the contract is signed, sealed
and delivered, the convention has moth

resolutions, and then adjourn and so
home. 1t is just as easy to tell them
now what they will do as it will be for
them to tell it after the convention ad-

make report till after that date!

GENERAL LoNGsTEEET, who was a
graduate of West Point, and regular
army officer at the opening of the war,
enjoys one of the most lucrative offices
in the gift of the administration. Ills
good fortune is due to his relationship
with Grant, and his treatment is a re.
markable illustration of the capricious
iavoritism of the administration. No
man inflicted deeper injury on the
Union cause than Long5treet. At Get.
tysburg his corps sent havoc into the
Union ranks. But he is now honored,
petted and rewarded, while the base
minions of the administration strike at
Gen. McCandless, Pennsylvania hero,
who led his brigade into the thickest of
the battle at Gettysburg, and by his
aallantry contributed no mean share to
that great victory. This contrast affords
a fine illustration of the nature Of Rad.

exceptionable and worthy ticket last
week, and we hope they will see to it
that every man on it is elected by a full
vote OF the party. HUSTON HEPBURN,
Esq, is one of the nominees for Asso-
ciate Judge. We congratulate our old
friend that he is thus placed in a fair
way to assume the title legally he has
so long held by courtesy and that he is
no longer to be separated even officially
from his inevitable companion, the
President Judge. The Standard speaks
in glowing terms Of the excellence of
the ticket and the satisfaction with
which it is received by the whole party.
The convention unanimously declared
for Gen. HANCOCK for President.

A REPORT has got out that 400 sub
scribers to this paper have discontinued
their subscriptions because Of our de-
termined and unyielding support of the
nominees of the party and opposition
to disorganizers. We beg to say that
there have been but three discontin-
uances since the county convention, and
only one of these Tor the cause assigned.
The new subscriptions far outnumber
these, and we do not think the volun-
teer5 combined have 400 Democratic
supporters, or tho half of that number,
in the county. 400 indignant subscrib-
ers would make quite respectable mass
meeting of the kind, and unanimous
discontinuance Of their papers would
fill up an editorial pocket that is rather
dilapidated Just now.

If DR.. STANTON was ever brevetted
for distinguished services" it will be
very easy to tell what those services
were. What battlefield did he ever
see? That he was connected with the
brave Pennsylvania Reserves before
they left the State may be true, but
about the time or shortly after they
entered the field of hostilities, DR..
STANTON had himself transferred to
another service by his uncle, and it is
alledged spent the balance of his time
out of sight or hearing of battle. If
this statement is not true, why don't
his friends give his history?

CONSCIENCE sometimes will prevent
people from sleeping soundly, it is said,
and If under such circumstances the
amiable editor of the Repu5iicaa imag.
ined himself called a " liar" we assure
him it was only natural result of men
tai and physical condition; and when
he was called fialsifier" f" his muddy
brain was only a little miXcd-a real
and natural word WAS intended by tho
"silent pronpter, but the obivious-
ness of sleep or other natural or tenn
porary cause got the syllabes Of the
word jumbled. Tho facts remain all the
same-something was eXcOgilating a
protest against fibbing, and the monitor
in question may not always suggest
polite terms. Always tell the truth and
then you will not be troubled in that
way.

The Convention Question,

me rascals have got ahead of the old
sate Constitution and II is necessary to
make amendments to 1t which shall
check them and secure the rights OF the
people.
Corporations must be reformed, regu-
lated and curbed, so that they shall not
absorb popular power, control legisla-
ton, become hot-beds of abuse and de-
moralize society.
Private and special legislation must
be cut off and all the matters with
which 1t is concerned be regulated by
general laws.
The proposition should be submitted
to the people that the sessions of the
Legislature shall be biennial, except
only when the two Houses shall be
convened by the Governor. A single
legislative session cut off or saved under
such an amendment would much more
than cover the whole cost of Conven-
ton.
The election of State Treasurer should
be taken from the Legislature, where
1t is an occasion and cause of intrigue
and corruption, leading inevitably to
maladministration and misuse of the
public funds.
The purity and fairness Of popular
elections should be further secured by
uniform regulations which the Legisla-
ture cannot disturb or destroy in the
interest of party after the fashion OF
the existing evil statute for the consti-
tuition of election boards in Philadel-
phia. OF constitutional right each party
should have its share of election officers
throughout the State, electabte by its
o,cn votes.
Provisions for the more complete and
just representation of the people in
Government, and authorizing legisla-
tive action to that end, should be sub
mitted for popular consideration and
acceptance.
These are some of the important sub
jects to be had in view by the citizens
when they come to vote upon the ques.
tlon of Convention at the approaching
election. That their decision will be in
favor of Convention is reasonably
certain, and in our opinion such decis'
ion will be wise and timely. No doubt
II Convention shall be authorized, II
will be called under the main provis
ions of the bill proposed at the last ses
sion in the Senate, which secured fail
representation to the people in Conven
ton, limited the sitting of the Conven
ton to one hundred days, fixed the pay
of members at moderate sum and pro
vided that one.third Of the members O
the Convention might require The separat,
submission TO the people of any amend
ment proposed Gy the Convention. Thi'
last provision will protect the people
from bad amendments, if such shall bt
proposed by Convention majority
They will not be compelled to take bad
amendments in order to get good ones
but can discriminate between them in
casting their votes.
