ALL the arguments of disaffected Re /.

Germans in America that our Govern

"The wish is father to that thoughtn
and the Press will find it somewhat
difficult to convince the Intelligent
German population that an administra.
ton whose high officials could sell
Government property to the French
whilst engaged in war with the Ger.
mans, exhibited any great amount of
sympathy for their countrymen. And
the Press may further set it down as a
troublesome task, to persuade the Ger

fraud is to threaten United States Sena.

The MnY IN Inresfirnfn

Investigations into alleged abuses
seem 70 be the order Of the day at
Washington and Harrisburg. AT first
blush 1t might seem as If Congress and
our State Legislature were really in ear.
nest in measures of reform, but the fact
Is that the Committees chosen are for
the purpose of whitewashing the abus.
es complained of. The Committee to
investigate the New York Custom
House frauds was packed; that to ex.
anime into the sale of arms by our gov
ernment to France does not contain the
name of a single Senator who favored
the investigation.
la our own State the Republicans
have become alarmed at the frauds of
their own party in Philadelphia, espe.
cially since the Mcclure, Gray Commit.
tee got to work. In order to shield
themselves from the effect of the reve.
lations now being daily made, the fol.
lowing resolution was passed:
WHEREAS, 1t is alleged that frauds
are perpetrated in general and special
elections in the city of Philadelphia, by
lepeating and false counting, whereby
the Will of the citizens and qualified
electors ofsaid cityis overruled and their
rights violated by the return of persons
elected to public offices of trust, profit
and great responsibility, who have not
been so elected
And schereas, 1t is alleged that GER
tain defects or provisions In the act en-
titled an act relating to elections and
election officers of Philadelphia, furnish
the opportu1 1ity for the said fraudulent
voting, false counting and consequent
evils entailed on the legal voters of the
said city; therefore,
ResotUed, That the speaker of the
house be and is hereby authorized to
appoint committee of seven mem bers
OF the house, who are hereby authorized
to examine into the frauds alleged to
have been committed in elections here.
tofore held in the city of Philadelphia,
and to inquire into any abuses practiced
In nominations and elections held in
said city, and to make report thereup-
on. And If the frauds or abuses shall
be found to exist, or to have been com.
mitted, to report what legislation may
be necessary to prevent such frauds and
abuse, with power to senu for persons
and papers.
In appointing this Committee the
Speaker gave the Republicans fire mem
bers, and the Democrats t,co. The five
are the ablest men the opposition have
in the House, whilst the two accorded
US are Philadelphians, both Of achom
Uoted against the Investigation. The
reputation of one of them, Josephs, is
too well known for comment and
when it became known that he was put
on the Committee as a representative of
the Democratic party, the object of the
investigation became apparent. Josephs,
of all men, least desires investigation
into his district. AS Senator Sumner
said: sit is putting a child out to
nurse among those interested in its des.
truction.'
We believe the Chairman really
means to do his duty, but his hands will
be tied, or else the only investigation
made will be that which will affect the
Democratic party.

DiSgraceful.

A late number of Harper's Weekly
contains cartoon representing Senator
Schurz in the character of Mephisto'
philes prompting Senator Sumner tc
write. and pointing to a figure Of Lib.
erty in the back ground. The draw
ing though highly creditable to the ar
list as a work of art, is outrageously Ii
hellous and disgraceful to the publish
ers of the paper. Shame, shame, to a
journal which purports to be one "of
civilization" that it should assal in
such an unseemiy manner a public
man, whose efforts have been and still
are directed to the exposure and pun
i3hment of fraud and corruption.
The Republican party has reached a
depth of degradation indeed, when the
honest and manly efforts of Senator to
reform abuses, can call forth such a
scurrilous print in one of their leading
and respectable" journals. The peo
pie OF the country however, do not sym
pathise with Messrs. Harper in their
efforts to ridicule and degrade abler
men than themselves, as perhaps the
subscription lists of the Weekly may
show ere long.

THE NEW YORK Tines and other out.
andout Grant newspapers attempt to
answer Mr.. Summers movement to in.
vestigate the sale of arms to France, by
vulgar abuse of the Massachusetts Sen.
ator. The New York Tribune says,
THAT is game which can only hurt
the players. 1t is too late for any party
or any faction to think of smothering
investigation into any frauds to which
the public attention has been once di.
rected. The Senate will not have the
temerity torefuse to adopt Mr.. Summers
resolution. The pitiful excuse that the
possible disclosures may damage our
case at Geneva will avail nothing. The
nation has been guilty of no frauds, no
thefts, no indiscrtion. If individuals in
Office have, let us know 1t and let them
be punished. The nation will lose moth
ing by asserting its own integrity and
bringing its unfaithful servants to jus.

The Senatorial Conference.

Our Senatorial Districts composed of
the counties of Columbia, Montour, Ly-
coming and Sullivan. The candidates
were Charles G. Barkley, Thomas Chal-
fint, Robert p. Allen, and George d.
Jackson. The conference met at Will
iam9pUri On Thursday of last week ,and
each county was given equal represen-
tation, contrary to the rule of our coun.
ty convention, and the resolution of
the Danville Conference of May last
This and the action of the late confer
ence to select delegates to the COnstitu-
tional Convention undoubtedly settles
the question that small county has a
right to equal representation with q
large one; that Sullivan with 1900 De-
mocratic votes is equal to Lycoming
with 1900.
The proceedings of the conference we
give in another column. 1t will be
seen that each county voted for its own
candidate until the fourtieth ballot, then
Montour voted for Chalfant, Lycoming
for Allen, Columbia gave two to each,
and Sullivan ended the contest by CIV
ing her four votes for Chalfant.
We are informed that the best OF
feeling prevailed, and that the defeated
candidates cordially accept the situa-
lion.
The claims of Montour were undoubt-
edly stronger than those of Columbia
and Sullivan, and having been thus re-
cognized, we trust that all feeling of
discord between Us has been forever re.
moved.
AS 20 our nominee, he is 30 well
known to our people that we can add
but little. For three years he represent
cd our county In the Legislature faith
fully and with ability, gaining Il repu-
tation as an honest member, and the
opponent of rings and corporations.
We expect him to keep in the same
track now, and do not believe he will
dishonor the position to which he will
undoubtedly be elevated. His consti-
tuents will anxiously watch his course,
in the full belief, however, that In the
future they will have no reason 10 re-
Rret their choice.
