A frightful disaster occurred at Mar

steamship Guadayea was lying in the
port, crowded with passengers, her boil

nicating to the dock large quantity of
cotton was consumed.

Thomas A. Hendricks was unanimous
ly nominated for Governor, and Wash

Colonel John S. Williams and Hon. M.

A Jefrrcys without n Commission.

"In all ages" says Macaulay, "the
vilest specimens Of human nature have
been found among demagogues." In
our age one of the most repulsive ex-
emplifications of this remark is found
In the person of that ranting and men.
dacious demagogue, John A. Bingham,
Of Ohio. Under gentlemanly exterior
he carries the heart OF ruflian, and his
pretensions of liberalism are but cover
to brutal intolerance. Never dealing
in argument, but always in abuse, moth
ing but the opportunity is wanting to
discover in him those coarse instincts
which education has done nothing to
modify. This opportunity was offered
in the House of Representatives the
other day, when Mr.. Brooks, of New
York, ventured to suggest that the sup
Elementary enforcement bill was I'M
constitutional. This was an opinion
which every man had a right to enter
tain, and which, in country where
speech is supposed to be free, every
man, moreover, had the right to ex-
press. But it did not happen to coin
eide with Bingham's opinion, nor did
it suit his partizanship, and he accord
ingly proceeded TO denounce its utter
ance as unreasonable" and "damning.'
The calumny is, of course, not worth re-
futing, but it comes with an i'll grace
from the man whose treason to liberty
is recorded on that page of American
history wherein he figures as partici
pator in the murder of a woman, who
had hardly suffered the cruel death tC
which he helped to drive her, before
she was believed to be innocent If W.
were called upon to draw comparison
we should liken Bingham to the infa
nous Jeffreys. Like Jeffieys, his hand
are stained with the blood of a helples
woman, and he is always ready, as th
Judge of the Bloody Alsizes said o
himself, to "give lick with the rougl

1t seems it was not mere figure of
speech when the critics of the Admins
tration said that the military occupants
of the Executive Mansion regarded the
Government as their private estate. A
witness from the War Department yes.
terday testified that all the brigade,
division, corps, and army headquarters
reports were missing, supposed to
have been carted off to London by
Gen. Badeau, the prose laureate of the
President. The friendly relations
among the Presidents military family
are certainly very pleasing to contem-
plate; but this wholesale plunder of
the pigeon-holes is carrying the joke
rather too far. Perhaps Mr.. Badeau
could be given the General Order bust
ness here, and Mr.. Leet could take his
place in London. We really ought in
some way to get those documents back
into the country.-Ti6une,

Our Candidate for Auditor. General.

No more fitting candidate for the i'm.
portant Office Of Auditor. General could
have been chosen by the Reading Con-
vention, than William Hartley, of
Bedford county. Throughout his life
he has been distinguished for honor and
integrity. He is justly regarded by all
who know him as man eminently fit
to be entrusted with the guardianship
of the Treasury of the Commonwealth.
A business man Of first-rate capacity, he
has secured more than competence,
and is thus placed beyond the reach of
pecuniary temptation an educated
gentleman, with the keenest sense of
honor and marked independence of
character, he will discharge all the du-
ties of Auditor. General with an eye
single to the interests of the State and
the people. He is extensively known,
not only in the section where he was
raised, but throughout the region in
which some one boasted that Harrison
Allen would poll many votes. Mr..
Hartley has been largely engaged for
several years past in the production and
refinement of oil. He is no speculator,
but man of enlarged business views,
and the sagacity which he has brought
to bear, has enabled him to take lead
ing position in the legitimate develop
ment of one of the great industries of
Pennsylvania. When band of robbers
armed with corporate power, undertook
to plunder all the producers and re-
finers of oil, Mr.. Hartley distinguish
ed himself as one of the bravest and
most sagacious defenders of the rights
of those who were thus attacked. Our
candidate for Auditor General is not
only good man, a true man and pure
man; but he has the additional advan.
tages of being good speaker and one
Of the handsomest men in the Com.
monwealth. Between him and his op-
ponent there is the most marked and
significant contrast. The people will
see this and will appreciate it so fully
that William Hartley will be chosen
Auditor General by an immense ma.
jority.-Lancaster h1teIIigencer.

PRESIDENT GRANT and the whole of
his Cabinet went yesterday in person to
the Capitol to urge the passage of the
Infamous bill for making the President
a dictator over the Presidential elec-
tion. If the American people choose to
put up with the spectacle of an imperial
army cramming votes down their
throats at the polls we suppose they
may as well accept the spectacle of an
imperial President bullying and lobby
ing their representatives into shaping
the laws of the land to the convenience
of his lust of power. Is the London
Times uttering sarcasam or prophecy
when 1t prates about the Presidents
son and daughter as "royal personages?"

The Republican Party aud the Laboriug

At the late Republican Convention
the claim of the working men for
recognition was completely ignored,
and, instead, such noted corruptionists,
and advocates OF monopoly as Hart
ranft and Allen placed on the ticket.
The Democratic Convention, on the
contrary, nominated Thompson for
Judge, and Hopkins for Congressman
at large, who were also on the labor re-
form ticket. and besides nominated
Buckdlec for Governor second
choice in the Williamsport Convention,
and who headed their list of delegates
to the Constitutional Convention. Be.
sides, they nominated Hartley fol
Auditor General, who was identified
with the fight against the huge monop
oily known as the South improvement
Company; and Col. II. B. Wright TO
Congressman at large, who has lons
been known as an ardent supporte
of the Labor Reform movement, ant
who has written an able work on tn
subject.
AS additional proof that the Republi
can party has no sympathy with tn
laboring men, we mention the fact tha
all the infamous bills which have passe,
the Legislature in ten years were passe,
by that party, they having majority
and the Governor. During the cos
strikes the railroads had it all their ow
way, and the quo acarrantos issued b
Geary's order have quietly slumbere
in the Courts until this day.
But more decisive proof is Geary
treatment of the Conspiracy Bill,
which was drawn by the membe
from this County to relieve working
men from the unjust operations of al
almost obsolete law, which wa
adopted when England was a natio
of slaves, but long time ago repeale
even there. 1t passed both branches I
the Legislature by the unanimous al
Of Democratic votes, but is now held b
Geary, who, at the dictation of corpora
tion managers refuses to sign it. Th
laboring men support their friend
when they support our ticket.

THE COLLINS CAsE.-The defalcation
of DIR. Collins, late pension agent ofthis
District, amounts to $4,000, according
to the statement Of the Third Auditor,
who has at last completed the examin.
| alton OF his accounts. 1t has been as
certained that portion Of the deficit
was caused by the Doctors habit of
making pecuniary advances to certain
pensioners, "for consideration, -
by which practice the vouchers thus
obtained for payments would not be
available until the pension money ad.
vanced should actually fall due. This
little game was blocked by the sudden
seizure of the books. The vouchers for
advance payment will continue to be
worthless hereafter, should they bt
presented, for the reason that ColoneI
Cox, the new agent, has been instructe j
to pay all pensioners whose pensions
may seem to be due, without reference
to the impression that some of them
have already been paid several quarters
ahead.
Meanwhile DIR. Collins is in New
York, sin search of employment" as
we are informed, with deficit stand
ing against him, due the Government,
of forty-six thousand dollars, and no
action has been taken TO cause his ar.
rest. Is the reason for this leniency
shown towards him the fact that he is
considered, in high quarters, to be eX-
ceediDgly "loil?"- Washington Patriot.

Hartranft or BuckaIeW2

A little over seven years ago, the
writer first publicly suggested General
John F. Hartranft for the Office of
Auditor General, (instead of Surveyor
General for which he had previously
been named by one of the Republican
papers of Norristown) and during the
same year he was nominated and
elected, and in 1868, after serving one
term in said Office he was again nomi-
mated and elected, and if personal re-
gard for the man were to influence our
vote for Governor, next October, he
would in all probability receive it. His
war record is unquestionably a good
one, and itaffords us pleasure to say
that, as man, he possesses some very
good traits of character. But, unfor-
tunately, he is prominently identified
with one of the most odious political
rings that ever afflicted the people.
Into it he was led, as we believe,
by worse men than himself-and his
election, therefore, in our opinion, is
entirely out of the question.
On the other hand, the Democratic
party of Pennsylvania never made a
more praise-worthy nomination than
that of Charles r. Buckalew for Gov.
ernor. The least that we can say of
him is that he is an Independent and
high.toned statesman, and will faith
fully act the part of Chief Magistrate
for the good of the people of Pennsyl.
vania without regard to party. One of
the most important duties of the next
Governor will be the appointment of a
Secretary of the Commonwealth who,
by virtue of his Office will be one of
the Commissioners of the Sinking
Fund, and that the right man will be
selected for that most important and
responsible position by Governor Bucka-
lew, no one who knows the man will
doubt for moment.
We take for granted that Mr.. Bucka.
lew as well as the nominee Of tn eRead-
ing Convention for Auditor General,
will in due time receive the unanimous
endorsement of the Liberal Republi-
cans, and if so the Office holders Treas.
nry Ring ticket will be voted out of
sight by an overwhelming majority in
