a DANGEROUS WITNESS.

Mr. FOrney's hvorite witness, says the
Philadelphia Bulletin, in his crusade
against the Republican candidate for Coy
ernor, is DIR. Paine. BY him, he under
takes to prove all manner of malfcasance
and corruption, and without his valuable
aid, even the impudent ingenuity of the
Press would be at Il loss TO invent ISLANDERS
to hurl at the head of the man whom it re-
Gently declared to be. not only Il gallant
soldier, but also faithful Official. We
propose to give Mr.. Forney the full benefit
of his chosen witness, and hope. in advance,
that he will make the most of him.
We have more than once intimated our
belief that the now celebrated Six Thou
sand Dollars divided between John w. and
ID. Carpenter Forney were only small
portion of their Evans dividend. Only
Two Thousand Dollars of that sum have
been traced to the pocket of the chief malig-
ner of Gen. Ilartranft, and it has seemed in
cred BILE that he should have put Evans in
the way of Three Hundred Thousand
Dollars operation for the pitiful commission
of a two-thirds of one per cent.
We call DIR. Paine to the stand and we
offer him, once more, the paper, as Mr..
difference is that both ends of it are now
hot, and that the ''centre of percussion"
can be far more easily determined, than
when the Dean of the Bogus Diploma Col
lego gave his immortal lecture on that sub
ject before the Twtchell jury.
We do not know whether DIR. Paine
swears or afiirms. We presume that, as a
practice, he swears. Indeed, he swore
little, just little, "d-n," with a small
d, when he gave the evidence which we
now propose to publish. What DIR. Paine
said was this, and he said it in the presence
of two unimpeachable witnesses, ready to
be produced when needed, that JoHN w.
FORNEY RECEIVED FROM THE EVANS
FUND THE VALUE OF FIFTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS, IN THE FORM OF SATISFACTION
OF A MORTGAGE ON THE PRESS BUILD

This is exactly what Mr.. Forney's favor

and thoroughly reliable witnesses. And
upon being asked why the money itself was
not paid TO him Mr.. Forney's iavorite wit

EX-GOVERNOR POLLOCK.
Hon. j. q. Packer,
BUCKALEw makes considerable norodo

BUCKALEw makes a considerable parade
oi ms devotion to the interests of the work
ing classes. But he is ready to sell them
out when an occasion offers. a good illus
tralion of this is afforded by his course on
the bill 10 secure the safety of the miners.
An awful disaster in the coal regions had
alarmed the miners to such an extent that
for time they were really disheartened
and knew not what to do. 1t was shown
that the operators had been in many in
stances grossly negligent in having only
one shaft to mine, SO that in case of dis
aster there was no hope Tor the men in the
mine. In England all this had been rcme-
died years before by stringent laws and at
the session of the Pennsylvania Legislature
next ensuing after the catastrophe above
referred to, bill was introduced with SIM
liar intent. Here was n chance for Bucka.
lew to show his devotion to the interests of
the laboring men, and he did it by amend.
ments which, if successful, would have de-
slroyed the usefulness Of the bill. These
were defeated, and the bill passed in good
shape, but no thanks are due to Buckaew
for it, and when supplement was intoduc-
Cd, intended TO give the law immediate
force and complete effect Buckalew put his
shoulder to the wheel and defeated il. Now
what could have stirred up such an inyete-
rate demagosue TO care more for the iute-
rests Of capital than labor?

CONSTITUTIONAL DELEG GATE.-W are
pleased to notice that S. Z. Wolverton,
Esq, Of this place, is flvorably spoken of
in this Senatorial District as likely to be
elected as a Delegate to the Constitutional
Convention. Mr.. Wolverton has been no.
minated in this county by the Democrats,
and We hope to see him endorsed by the
district. The District will be- able to elect
one Democrat, and VIC know of none who
would be better qualified for that position
than Mr.. "olvcrton. Ills ability is uuds-
puteI, and his character irreproachabe
His election TO that Convention would
prove an honor to the District irrespective
of party. The Office is one that partizan
feeling should not influence, and the best
men should be selected to ill the position
Mr.. Wolvcrton is widely known as law
yer, ranking high in his profession. Per-
sonally he is warm hearted gentleman,
honorable in all his business transactions,
and is not recognized as a political schemer
1t is very evident that he is the strongest
man our opponents could select, and his
nomination would prove equal to an cleo
ton.

RENoMINATIoN OF Hon. JNo. b. PACK
ER.-The Conferees of the Fourteenth Con-
grcssional district met at the Lochiel Hotel,
Harrisburg, on Saturday afternoon, and
unanimously rcnominated Honorable John
B. Packer as the Republican candidate for
Congress. The Harrisburg State Journal
SAYS This was foregone conclusion be-
fore any of the counties of the district had
officially declared their intention, Mr.. Pack
er having hold on the people of the dis
trict which no Representative enjoys to a
larger extent with any constituency in the
land. His faithfulness as legislator, and
his ability and purity as a man give him a
peculiar influence in Congress, and will al
ways retain for him the respect and sup
port of his fellow citizens. His majority
will be largely increased as mark of the
high favor in which he stands.

THAT SAME OLD TRrcK--we notice

THAT SAME OLD TRICK--We notice
that the "Ring'' has again adopted their
old plan to secure the offices in the coun-
ty. In several instances we hear of them
Offering to trade at the coming election by
which they intend to deceive the uuwary.
For years past this plan was successfully
carried on, but last year their fraudulent
schemes were discovered, and the conse-
quencc was they were defeated That de-
feat is significant to every voter. The i'm
proved condition of affairs during the past
year is plainly noticed, and TO return to
the former conduct of the "Ring," would
tend towards retrograde movement,
which, we hope, no good citizen of the
county will attempt. 1t would certainly be
suicidal in any Republican to trade of his
vote, and thereby, perhaps restore the old
state of things, when lie secs that all hon
est Democrats are willing to aid in remov-
ing the evils which must arise by placing
the "Ring" candidates again into power in
this county. The people have become too
intelligent to be any longer gulled by life
long politicians. 1t is no longer test
whether Democrats or Republicans shall
have the Offices, but it lies between the
qualified and honest, and the disqualified
and corrupt men. The people look for a
change, and we desire that every Republi-
can will give the matter thorough inves-
tigation before he consents TO barter his
vote away to put in Office those who are
controlled by a set ofmen who plunge us in
debt, and leave the money that should be
paid into the county treasury in the hands
of collectors for purposes of speculation.
No honorable man can constientiously
agree to any proposition of trade of votes
from those who are looking for loavcs and
fishes, and the crumbs that fall from the
tables of those they try to place into Office

ness promptly replied that it was thought
desirable that Mr.. Forney should be able
to say, IL interrogated that he 'had never
seen dollar of the Evans money"
This is DIR. Paine's testimony, and we
are prepared to prove, before any proper
tribunal, that this is precisely what he said
concerning the disposition of this part of
the Evans plunder. lift Is false testimony,
then DIR. Paine has proved himself very
bad witness for Mr.. Forney, and he ought
to denounce him openly, publicly and at
once. Ifpossible, he ought to go farther,
and prove that he never had any such
mortgage paid or satisfied or in any way
cancelled-that would be a good, compre-
hensive way to state the evidence-and
that-excepting the confessed Six Thou
sand Dollars, lie has never received any
advantage, direct or Indirect. from the
Evans fund.
If, on the other hand, DIR. Paine's testi-
mony is true, he has proved himself u still
worse witness for Mr.. Forney. IF he has
really supplied, in his unguarded and gar
rulous moments, the real "centre Of per-
cussion' of this MYSTERIOUS force that con.
trolls the action of the Press, MI. Forney
may well "go for him." with good excuse.
The dilemma is desperately awkward
one. If DR.. Paine tells the truth, what be-
comes of Mr.. Forney's charge against Gen
eral Hartranft ? If DR.. Paine tells false.
hood, what becomes of the bogus Yerkes
aflidavits that rest upon his testimony
The horns seem equally sharp, and there
is small choice between then. If DIR. Paine
tells the truth, the little Six Thousand be-
comes Fifty.six Thousand, or about one
half of the hitherto unexplained part of the
Evans plumber. If DR.. Paine's statement
is a romantic fiction, which Mr.. Forney
must find some satisfactory way of proving,
then the assault upon Gen. Hartranft falls
by the dead weight of the total incompe.
teuce of the chief witnesses. The centre o
percussion lies somewhere along the sur.
face of this exceeding hot poker; and il
rests with Mr.. Forney to determine just
where it is.
