BEN. BUTLER Is doing the one good
thing of his life-shaking up the dry
bones of Massachusetts. AS all pollu.
tion is supposed TO be purified by being
thoroughly stirred up and exposed to
the action of the atmosphere, the great
Beasts mad exploits may do some
good in the narrow-minded common
wealth. Massachusetts has long been
governed as a commonwealth of slaves
by a sort of snobby aristocracy who
look upon the idea of any one of the
common horde being Governor as dis
grace. They look upon BUTLER as
only blackguard leader ofthe low and
vulgar, whom they affect to despise.
Nor do BUrLER's aspirations stop
there. He wants to be elected Govern
or with view to an election to the U.
s. Senate, crowding out either of the
present demagogue5 now in that place.
Ofcourseall yankeedom Massachusetts
being the centre, pivot and dctator) is
in furor. BEN. won't say that he will
abide by the decision of the Radical
convention and no doubt intends TO run
at all hazards. He says TO the Labor
Reformers, 81 do not desire your nomi-
nation-I accept your platform |" All
the isms, excepting the purely snoO
Radical, are for him, and the prospect
is a fair one that the latter will be COM
PEELED to choose between him and JOHN
QUINCY ADAMsl In any case BUT
LER's candidacy will do good in Massa-
chusetts--it will break up the snob con-
troll of the State, the worst that can ex.
ist, and give something better even
though nothing commendablo.

Constitutional Amendment.

BY the act of last session for taking
the sense of the people upon the ques.
tion of calling Constitutional COnven-
tion, votes for or against Convention
are to be given upon slip tickets under
the ticket heading "State.' Tho words
to be used are Constitutional Conven-
tion," and underneath, "for COnven-
tion," or "against a Convention" and
the tickets are to be counted and returns
thereof made as votes for Governor are
counted and returned under existing
laws. We shall, therefore, print the
Convention ticket, ION the tickets issued
from this oflice,) Immediately under
the names of the candidates for Auditor
General and Surveyor General and as
we are in favor of Convention shall
print affirmative votes only unless
Others shall be specially ordered.

Business In Court.

Notwithstanding the continuance oI
all civil causes upon the trial list at the
late sitting of our County Court con-
siderable amount of regular and miscel.
laneous business was transacted. In
fact great deal of the work performed
by President Judges does not appear to
the public in Court reports, being per-
formed by them at chambers between
terms and also during terms. In some
way and in some form, all the knotty
and difficult questions of law which
come into controversy between citizens
and which members Of the bar cannot
agree upon, or cannot solve, are cast
upon the President Judge for decision.
Cases in the Orphans Court relating tC
estates cases upon the argument list
generally; bills in equity under modern
practice, in addition to road and elec
tion questions and many other matters
of special jurisdiction, press constantly
upon the attention of the Judge in ad
dition to his more observable and con-
spicuous duties in the trial of civil and
criminal cases by jury. Perfect integ
rity, with steady industry and patience
are necessary in Judge, and to him
who exhibits them the people are under
the deepest obligation. This obligation
may not always be admitted, lat least
in its full extent,) but it is a real one
and in the long run will receive due
and grateful recognition from both the
legal profession and the public.

The recent Democratic State Conven-
tion of New Jersey wisely laid aside all
the candidates and nominated Hon.
JOEL PARKER for Governor. We hope
to see the practice generally introduced,
in the nomination of important officers
at any rate, to lay aside the aspirant S
for nobler and better men who do not
obtrude themselves. Mr.. PARKER was
Governor during the war times, and
acquitted himself to the admiration OF
all patriotic men who understood Amer
lean institutions. He had the courage
to discharge his duty to the people OF
his State as well as to the Federal Gov.
ernment, and was the only Governor in
the Union who had the flrmness to dc
so. lie is one of the ablest men in the
nation and would be highly creditable
nominee for President.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1871-09-22


The Importance of adhering to nomi-
nations Is too often overlooked. When
a party Is divided all the energies of Its
active men are bent to obtain the sue
cess of the particular candidates In
whom they are Interested, and the gen.
eral interests of the party are more or
less neglected. When the party is thor
oughly united, all these energies are
directed against the common opponent.
1t is therefore apparent why the COM
mon opponent always favors volunteer
candidates-they serve him better than
his own friends can serve him. 1t fur
ther happens that volunteers always
enter into arrangements and bargains
with the opposition~ AS they have
their own party organization to fight
they make common cause with the
party that favors and supports them.
What an effective means this is to
weaken the majority party will be ap-
parent to- every body.
Last year the combination of volun-
teers and Republicans was successful in
Columbia county. This year the same
attempt is made. If successful again
the same game will be attempted next
year. and so the mischief will continue
until the majority party is broken UP
or its majority destroyed. This, too,
must be apparent to every body. But
if the volunteers are as badly beaten
this year as they should be, there will
be no trouble in the future. Our family
quarrels will then be fought out before
the convention, when they can do no
harm.
Does not every Democrat, therefore,
see the importance of adhering faith.
fully to the nominations
The candidates this year all pledg ed
their word to submit to the decision
Of the convention Every volunteer
now before the people was so pledged,
publicly and in plain terms. Will the
people elect man to Office who thus
violates his word-his solemn engage
ment! If any man thus directly vic
lates his word, publicly given to every
body, can he be depended upon in any
thing else he says or promises? Is q
man who does not regard his word fl
person to be put into Office? These arc
questions for each voter to decide for
| himself.
Every man who expects to be a can.
didate hereafter should bear in mind
that If the volunteers arc successful
now he will probably have the same
difficulty to meet hereafter.
In fact, the interests of every Demo
crat. and of the whole Democratic par
ty, demand that volunteers shall be
discarded, and that complete union and
harmony shall be preserved. If you
would maintain your strength, Demo
Gratis of Columbia, adhere to your ticke
and every man on it.

THE Wyoming JOwRat is very indig-
nant because we have not read history
of the life of STANTON and BEATH
which the editor says he printed. We
have never seen it, or any other, though
we always look over the editorial col
umns of the Journal and all other eX-
changes AS we are quite anxious to
know something about the Radical can
didates the editor will favor us by send
ing copy of his history of these NOR
tails. We think, however, that the vials
of his tremendous wrath should not be
poured out upon our humble head alone,
for evidently the Radical editors have
not seen his history, or don't think it
worth republishing.

DislOyalty Now and Then I

In 1864 the RAIDS pretended to think
Mr.. HIRAM +. EvERITT so unpatriotic
and disloyal that ii was necessary to
arrest him and lock him up. Now q
Radical ring in bloomsbury trades the
whole Republican party off to him
deliberately sells the whole crowd tC
him, SO far us their votes are concerned
for his use, benefit and behoof forever,
as the lawyers say. Something queer
in all that! OF course if the Radical
masses choose to allow Radical "ring"
of oflice-holders in bloomsbury to trade
them off it is none of our business, but
to be traded Off to disloyal enemy
of the Union," which they swore he
was in 1864, land of which he says he
has not repented,) if not treason itsel
is encouraging what was stigmatized as
treason. Did they SANDER EvERIT1
then, and wrongfully persecute him, OF
has disloyalty become reputable and
patriotic, and worthy of Radical votes:
Their votes will tell the tale!

VIM. II. SEWARD, who was far more
instrumental than any other man,
living or dead, in producing the rebel
lion, and who so freely imprisoned men
of the highest character, in defiance Of
law and in violation Of his own oath,
on the general charge of lacking ina
patriotism of which he never possessed
the least iota himself, it is said is about
returning to the country which he be-
trayed and deluged in blood. Ever
since he left office he has been travelling
in foreign countries, seeking excitement
and notoriety, probably in vain effort to
shake off the natural suggestions OF
troubled conscience. For him there
never can be peace on earth and his
prospects beyond it are probably still
less cheering. Walking to and fro
through the earth was practised by his
master, with motives only more malig-
nant because he was the impersonatlon
OF the Internal. We don't exactly see
how SEWARD can hope further to assist
his fiend friend in "devouring' what
ever Is good on earth. He is justly
abandoned and hated as savagely by
the men who were his tools In the days
of his power as by those who felt his
treason and his tyranny. There is
sort of derisive justice in the fact thai
he is impotent now.

Assembly.

JAMES BOYD Robson, Esq, the
Radical candidate for Assembly, has
name enough to fill any office-possibly
vanity enough too. He was soldier,
and for aught we know butchered more
rebels than any other man in the ma
tion, but BATES history ian o6icial his
tory of the Pennsylvania soldiers) does
not make the brilliant record for him
that 1t does for BRoCKwAY. Both are
members of tie bar, but BRoCKwAY
has much the largest practice, though
in other business all the time. 1t would
scarcely be generous to speak of BoYD's
age, as that might affect him with peo-
pie who are not voters, but in this re-
spect neither candidate has material
advantage of the other. In intellect,
energy, political and general knowledge
Of government and of public wants and
the ways to supply them, BRocKwAY
is greatly superior to his opponent and
would therefore make much the best
Representative. So far as correct polit-
cal principles is q superior qualification
to possessing the worst, all the advan-
tages are with BRoCKwAY, as is the
case too in habits of thought and action.
For some years past robson has held
little place under the Federal govern
ment, which he used in assisting TO tor
ment some of the unfortunates who fell
under the ban of the revenue laws. In
this capacity he came about as near set
| ting the world on fire as he ever will in
any other. Whether he has yet engaged
rooms in Harrisburg we do not know
but think it likely, though his chance
of election is about as good as his chance
to be appointed King of Dahomey. A;
one of the Radical ring of Bloomsbury
he is about as efficient as his brethren
in connecting small tricks and petty but
groundless ISLANDERS upon his fellow cit
izens, and probably comes in for share
of the spOls accumulated by that insti
| tuition.
i Looking at the relative prospects O.
the candidates for Assembly, we do moi
think the subject worth discussing, and
make these remarks only to avoid the
charge of being ignorant of the fac
that there is Republican candidate II
tho field.
