4 DONATION PARrY.-Somewhere in
Pennsylvania there is a Presbyterian
clergyman whose nominal salary is $3.50
year. But as it was six months in ar
rears, the congregation determined to
give him o donation party, to help him
along. It came off-the donation party
did. The entire flock was on hand, but
the presents, that were only six rolling
pins, q pen-wiper, and quarter of a peck
Of dried apples, crop of 1864.
The minister, of course, had to fur
nish refreshments; and the company not
only discouraged four hams, three and
half pounds of sixty cents butter, and
thirteen loaves of bread, but they ate up
two pounds of sugar and all the next
winters preserves. To crown all, four
spoons were missing.
The Clergyman says he wants to have
just one moro donation party, and then
he will close up his business and begin
life over again as champion pauper and
at the aims house.
He is particularly down on one sister
who jammed herself full of ham and
preserves, and enough other acculent diet
to keep the entire family for O week, and
then laid up against the wall pretending
to feel religious, and singing ''There Is
Best for the Weary"
He is willing to accept bets that she
will never weary while there is any grub
about-this sister won't.
He would like to feed her month on
those rolling pins and pen-wiper, just out
OF revenge.

Icatia's BY PHRBE CARY.
Suppose, my ittlelady,
Your doll should break her head,
Could you make 1t whole by crying
Till your eyes anil nose are red?
And wouldn't it be pleasanter
To treat 1t as q joke,
And say: "I'm glad twas dolly's,
And not my head that broker"
Suppose you're dressed for walking,
And the rain comes pouring down,
Will it clear of any sooner
Because you scold and frown?
And wouldn't 1t he nicer
For you to smile than pout,
And 80 make sunehine in the house
When there is none without?
Suppose your task, my little man,
Is very hard to get,
Will it make it sny. easier
For you to sit and fret2
And wouldn't it be wiser
Than willing like Ounce,
To go to work in earnest
And learn the thing at once?
Suppose that some boys have q horse,
And some q coach and pair,
viii 1t tire you less while walking
To say, cit isn't fair2"
And wouldn't it be nobler
To keep your temper sweet,
And in your heart be thankful
You can walk upon your feet?
And suppose tho world don't please you,
Nor the way come people do,
Do you think the whole creation
Will be altered just for you?
And isn't it. my boy or girl,
The wisest and the,bravest plan,
Whatever comes, or don't come,
To do the best you can?

The Treasurer Question,

In the matter of the nomi nation OF
county Treasurer
A majority of the popular vote at the
delegate elections was for WIN. LAMoN.
A majority of the election districts
were for VIM. LAMoN.
A majority of the delegates to the
Convention were for VIM. LAMoN.
A majority Of delegates were for VIM.
LAMoN under the plan of minority
representation.
A majority of delegates would have
been for VIM. LAMoN if the old plan of
representation had been in operation,
by which majority voting in each dis
trict instructed all the delegates.
Under any possible rule that could
have been adopted VIM. LAMoN would
have been nominated.
Mr.. HIRAM f. EVERETT, and all the
other candidates, pledged themselves to
abide by the decision of fthe Conven tion.
Now he refuses to abide by this pledge
of honor and seeks to be elected by COM
bining with the enemies of the Demo-
cratic party. This is the whole case in
nut shell.

loan, known as the Syndicate, cleared
FIFTY MILLIONS of dollars in the
operation, as is shown by long array
of carefully compiled figures That is,
fifty millions is the sum proven to have
been cleared by them. How much
more theyand others received, can only
be told by a statement of the actual
amount paid into the Treasury, after de-
Quoting all expenses. The people, Of
course, will see nothing Of this until
after the next Presidential election, il

When the Radicals thus rob the gov
ernment by thousands and millions
by millions of thousands and thousands
of millions-is it any wonder the peo.
pie are oppressed by taxation, and that
these Radical gentry can afford to pay
immense sums to carry elections in or.
der to be able to continue this wholesale
swindling! Portions of the funds thus
abstracted from the people are made to
reach almost every election poll-cer-
tainly every county, by this means
the Radical party is kept from destruc.
tion.

interviewing.

The Philadelphia Day, in some prac-
tical remarks, severely condemns and
ridicules the sensational practice of "in-
terviewing" for purposes of publica-
tion; doing up for the public what is
privately scorned as tale.bearipg. The
interviewer applies himself to men of
distinction when he can get at them, or
is not Indignantly repulsed, to thieves,
,murderers, &c, who are charged with
something sufficiently infamous to at
tract attention, and to small.fry politi-
clans who otherwise fail to secure no
tice, and who pay the publisher for
giving place to their twaddle. We are
glad to see that one city paper has the
courage and sagacity to speak out
against the abuse. The practice is one
of those reprehensible yankeeisms with
which newspaperdom is cursed and
shallow heads are freighted consequent
upon the tbrusting of intellectual men
from power and the filling of their
places by military or gabbling pigmies
| who are nothing but political maggots
except SO far rs they are inflated into
larger dimensions by the newspapers.
We hope it has about had its day and
that respectable newspapers will shun
it as private gentleman shuns the
tales of ordinary vagabonds.

(OrrHptiOn In New York CITY.

The Republican papers are filled with
charges of corruption against the New
York city government and affect to hold
the Democratic party responsible for it,.
Bosh! That there are many rascals in
the city of New York will not be dis.
puted and that some may get into office
is quite probable. In fact the chances
of a rascal not known are better for get
ting into office than those of an honest
man, for the former will resort to tricks
and subterfuges TO gain his point that
the latter will spurn. But whatever
may be true of the New York officials,
they are in court, and their actions will
be fully scrutinized by the legal tribun-
ais. If guilt is established they will be
punished and If they have robbed they
will be compelled to disgorge. All that
is right and no good Democrat will at.
tempt to screen them if guilty or exten-
uate their fault. Whatever may be
true it is the business only of the people
of that city.
With the Federal government it is
quite different. Its officers are respon'
sible to the whole people. Their ac'
ton is defended and sustained by their
party, and this makes their party re-
sponsible. In a general way they can
not be brought before the courts, and
the people at the elections is the only
tribunal that can fully pronounce Judg-
ment upon them. Therefore their ac-
tion is legitimate subject Of public
discussion and determines the merits OF
their political party.

The Democrats of the Judicial district
composed of the counties of Union, Sny-
der and Mitllin have nominated JOSEPH
G. BUcHER, Esq, of Lewisburg, for
President Judge. The party has hon.
ored itself by this nomination, and al.
though the district is Republican we
have little doubt of Mr.. BUCHER's
election. His integrity, ability and ju'
dicial learning arc in such striking con.
trast and superiority to his radical OPP
ponent, Judge WOODS, that it is next tC
impossible for any honest man, famil'
lar with the characteristics of the two
candidates, to vote otherwise than fol
Mr.. BUcHER. Many of the leading and
most influential Republicans of Union
county openly oppose WOODS and sup.
port BUcHER. 1t is getting to be a habit
of the Democracy to nominate the best
men for Office.

The taxation of coal breakers, and
other fixtures and improvements upon
leased lands, was the subject of an in
teresting and able opinion by Judge
ELwELL in our Court of Common Pleas
the present week. AT the request OF
counsel on both sides lin the several
cases covered by the opiuion,) that
opinion is now published and will be
found in another column. The opin.
ion appears to us to be clearly and sim
ply just in holding operators or lessee;
to the payment Of taxes in proportion
to the value of their property; in othel
words, in imposing upon them theil
due share of the public burdens.

Charges Of local Corruption.

The Republican has Frequently made
insinuations of corruption against our
county officers and th@ the county
funds were isnproperly used OF expond'

sinuai bns by a resolution of the late
Radical county convention.
We denoune the insnuatons as be-
ing wickedly reckless and without
shadow of foundation in fact. In be-
half of the officers Implicated we chal'
lenge any responsible man to point out
where improper use has been made ol
the county funds. We defy the authors
of the calumny to name a Democratic
officer of this county who has been
guilty OF any improper official action,
and dare the calumniators to the issue
Either gross libel has been malicious
ly perpetrated upon honest men, or the
authors of these vile charges can show
grounds br them. The issue is thu'
deiiantly made, and these who mak'
the allegations are retrsired to prcsen

THE Republican heretofore complain
ed that in his reveries, sleeping or
waking, something underlined suggest
cd to the editor such terms as "liar,"
" fialsiher,' &C., and again the same
sleepless monitor has suggested "per-

under certain circumstances, but edito-
rial reform and total abstinence from

fellow citizens, is perfect remedy. In
other words, stick to the truth, and the
troubles referred to will cease.
That to charge honorable men with
infamous action, for which there is not
the slightest foundation, is sreprehended
by this community, will be seen by ref.
erence to the first article under the edi.

The Great SWiudle.

That the Radical leaders are adopts at
swindling the EVANS embezzlement
fully illustrates. Both the Radical u.
s. Senators, CAMERON and SCOTT, must
have been familiar with the transaction
from beginning to end, and EVANS al
ledges that he is exposed because he
would not give $4,000 of his stealings
towards purse being raised to elect j..
d. CAMERON to the U. S. Senate as the
successor of his father! Gov. GEARY,
Auditor General HARTRANFT, State
Treasurer MAcKEY, Attorney General
BREWSTER, are all culpable in not ex-
posing the theft at an early period and
promptly pursuing the delinquent Off
Ger by all the power of the law.
All that is clear. But what became of
the money? 1t is not believed that
EVANS himself has any large portion of
it. Where did the rest go? How
much did the Radical officials at Wash
ington get? How much of it went for
electioneering purposes? Was it used
in the election of 1869? How much ol
it did the Radical ring of Bloomsbury
get? How much of it did the aforesaid
ring divide among the faithful few OF
this county? Or did the ring pocket 1t?

Union and Victory.

Senator CAMERON is RECALLING his
friends with the information that the
Republicans will be successful this fall
in Pennsylvania because they are every
where united and harmonious. What
lesson to the Democracy With no
other talent than cunning, CAMERON
well knows the value of union and har-
mony in a political campaign. Without
1t success is next to impossible for
any party. With 1t success is assured if
in majority. To induce and create di-
vision in the Democratic party, the
Radicals well know is the surest way
for them to triumph. Therefore, it is
that they are so extremely anxious to
create divisions in Democrat counties
and they supply volunteers with money
to carry them on. Democrats of Col
umbia, will you allow this Radical
scheme to succeed? Will you allcw
the Radicals to create division in your
ranks for the express purpose RI defeat
ing youP
Fully appreciating the effects and pur-
poses OF volunteer candidates, and that
their candidacy is but Radical scheme,
we spurned their money and theil
tEeachery and refused to print a line
for them. If all Democrats would OBJ.
serve the same principle of action, the
efforts of these men would come to
naught, and instead of being weakened
by the Radical trick the Democratic
party would be strengthened. Arouse,
Democrats! Unite and conquer! There
can be no victory without union, and
remember that the result this fall will
have an important effect next year
when there is a President and Governor
to elect.
RALLY FOR TILE TICKET, THE
WHOLE TICKET AND NOTHING

is strengthen division nothing bu

The Radical Ring Candidates.

An amatuer reporter, In another col
umn, gives in brief the proceedings of
the Radical convention of Columbia
county. AS it was as well known two
weeks ago as it is now what the ring
masters had determined to make the
thing do we did not go to see the per-
formance.
1t will be observed that these pro-
ceedings fully corroborate what we have
heretofore stated about the perfect union
between the Radical Bloomsbury ring
and the volunteer candidates. For all
the offices worth contesting the Radi-
cal ring made no nominations for which
volunteers were out, but for such as no
volunteers offered nominations were
made. Between the two perfect ticket
is formed, excepting for the offices es.
teemed of no pecuniary value. Each
wing OF this ticket is of course to sup.
port the other, and the Radical elec.
tioneering fund is to defray all expen-
ses. The volunteers are therefore as
essentially candidates in the interest OF
the Radicals as are STANTON and
BEATH. Let them profess what they
may, therefore, they are all tarred with
the same stick and their nags are groom
ed by the same ostlers. They are all
Republican candidates and the pretenct
that some of them are not nominated
as such is sheer farce. The Radica
ring nominated them two weeks befor,
the Republican convention was callet
and that body submitted to its dictatiol
registering such as they were no
ashamed of and secretly agreeing t
support all
| If the Democracy desire to win vic
tory they must defeat the whole of thi
corrupt combination. The trick attempt
ed to be played is too shallow to deceiv
any one. There are but two force
arrayed on the field, viz: the Demo
cratic ticket VS.. the Radical ticket {, evel
though the latter be as spotted as
leopard.
Winning by tricks is q characteristic
of Yankee land-the plan can find n
favor with the sturdy yeoman ry of Col
umbia county.

'REv." PENNEL CooMDE, whose fat

issued bombastic challenge to discuss
the merits of the movement with any

challenge was promptly accepted by

cause. The parties met at public

his speech, but as soon as BLACK COM
