Texas, so that it could be corrupted by
secession surroundings. robbed the trea.

bauched the money affairs of the nation

An EXPLANATION.

All organizations and enterp' p'ises should
be regarded for their attempts at improve
ment. when such is characterized by en-
ergy. industry and honesty. But when
these charac,eris.ics are di-ree",ded-
VI hen the limits of fairness and the
bounds of propriety are broken over. all
such endeavors can have but reflex
action. and draw upon themselves the
contempt of those individuals from whom
they seek by deception to gain praise
by subtlety and sham to secure encour.
agement and patronage.
The Republican,, in its issue Of las,
week. charges us with having acted un
fairly in not furnishing it with copy Of
the card recommending Mr.. Pomeroy -
That we were instructed to do so we most
emphatically deny /; and under such cir
cumstauces might we not have been
termed presumptuous by that organ
which claims to be an exponent of the
Republican party of the county-had we
provided il with facts and material con-
cerning the delibe,ation and determine
lions of the Republican party -? And
Just because such course was not adopted
and such gratuitous information given
men talk of promises untulfilled, of high
handed capers. of deception, of unfaith
fulness. We, too, desire to place our.
self right upon the record with the party
and with MIR Pomeroy and his friends
but if for duty honestly and faithfully
performed, we are entitled to no credit
we certainly are deserving of no censure
and abuse. The motive which prompts
the article to which we refer is sinister
and insincere-not that the good of the
Republican party may be promoted-no
that its interests may be strengthened
and cemented in this community but tina,
individual ends may be reached and per
.onal qualification secured. Such loyalty
tramples on law. such feally stabs and
tends to destroy the principles and liber
ties it ought to protect, auG such zeal is
unworthy of the admiration of The peo-
ple-not meriting their support.

hours when spasms set in. after one of

closed his eyes and arranged his limbs
preparatory to laying out the body; but

discovered signs of life and sent for a
doctor. The next day DIR Boyd was

Terrific Hail Storm at Harrisburg.

On Monday night about half-past ten
o'clock Harrisburg was visited by a ter
rible hail storm. Hail stones as large as
wainuts fell which did great damage tc
window glass chlmneys, trees, roofs &c.
throughout the city.
At the State Capital hotel, the con
sternation created among the guests was
terribly. Those lodging in the upper
part Of the new wing of the building W re
driven from their rooms by the food Of
water pouring in the broken windows on
the west side. The hail stones broke in
every pane of glass on that side. in the
upper part of the building. When til.
hurricane struck it tore off the entire til,
roof, and carried it bodily into the capi.
tol park. a distance of over a hundred
feet. The chimneys were carried away
and part Of the cornicc of the building
blown down. In the ladies' parlo,
quite large company Of ladies and gen

bricks came down the chimneys amongs,

/ Oirect-Au Increase Of salary ~ Wsys

1t il within the recollection of every
reading man who has reached the age
of twenty five years in this county and
representative district, that few years
ago an effort was made at Harrisburg to
raise the pay of the members of the Leg
islature from one thousand dollars to ff-
teen hundred dollars.
That fact. however. is no more indel-
libly impressed on the minds of the
reading public than is the fact that there
was a general cry of condemnation from
every section in the State against the
proposed increase. They are getting
enough now fol the time that they serve
at Harrisburg. Let them live little
le-s extravagan,ly while there" was the
brief verdict of the people against the
measure. While the people in common
were thus condemning the action OF
their members, Democratic leaders out
eide of the Legislature. and the Demo
cratic press in districts represented by
Republican members made furious
fuss over the matter. To listen to their
cIamor one we're almost m,ressed with
the belief that they were the especial
guardians of economy herself. and if
change must take place. it should be
decreasing change.
We all recollect the abuse that the Rrg
ter meted out to the member from thi-
county What a change has come over
these gentlemen since BHckalew has
been nominated. 1t is as remarkable
If possible-as is the nomination OF
Greeley. They now propose to elect
Buckalew Governor. who, last winter,
did not propose TO add five hundred
dollars 10 his salary. but who actually did
take five hundred dollars from the State
Treasury for serving on the committee
in the contested case of Gray and Nc
Clure. There were no additional ex
penses to be paid by the committee.
They were borne by the State. The
duties of the Senatorial Office includes
Just such work as the Senators performed.
and they are considered well paid for at a
thousand dollars a session.
We do not apologiz. for the men who
attempted to raise the Legislative salar,
to fifteen hundred dollars What they
did they did openly and on the merits
and dement's of their actions they must
stand If their action was censurable,
what in the world shall be said of Mr.
Buckalew Place the two side by

is black. On what grounds his friends
excuse him for this glaring breach of the
