them IL Is reported that he still believes
in solving the Indian problem by milk
and wator. II Is wonderful how blind
aud deaf TO fact cant can make man
who on some subjects may still exhibit
the reasoning faculty. The elder Mr..
Weller was overcome with wonder that
his son, "after actilly seeln' and bein'
in the company of his own mother.in-
law" still meditated matrimony. But
IL Is not 80 wonderful as that Mr.. Stuart
should entertain Uomanches and
Apaches' 'unawares' 'of what they really
were, and that strict segregation of
them, with death for the first violation
of 1t, is the only means of getting on a
really friendly footing with them. More
than all, Mr.. Stuart has persuaded Mr..
Grant to sign a letter, which we do not
say that MI. Stuart wrote, but which it
is highly unlikely that Mr.. Grant wrote
declaring for an extension of what the
latter calls Humanitarian policy"
which means, If IL means anything,
more free junketings for the mnrderers

the aforesaid proclamation of the Gov
ernor, and thereupon said convention
shall proceed to organize by electing
one of their number president, and +,
after the members are sworn in, such
other officers as may be needed, in the
transaction of business" After the
preliminaries, the convention will, OF
course, proceed to the work for which
1t was called.
1t will have the power either to sub.
NIT new constitution, the present one
amended, or specific amendments
whichever course it deems most proper
1t is further provided that one-third ol
the members shall have the right to re.
quire separate and distinct vote for
any amendment submitted. The power

The convention is to fix the time and

As will be seen by reference TO
another column the Radicals have again
been triumphant in the State and ma.
tion. This result seemed inevitable
after the October elections, and not
therefore surprising, Gen. Grant has a
new lease of power for four years, a
large msjority in a subservlent Con-
gress, and q Supreme Court packed by
himself There need be no more fear
OH his part from the people. Like
slaves they kiss the hand that smites
them. They have lost all patriotism
aud are now ready for despotism.
Grant, if he has relations who do not
hold Office can safely appoint them, he
can take unlimited bribes from stealing
officials; ho can continue the tyranny
exercised over the South. Fraud aud
corruption have crept down to the peo
pie, aud the masses themselves are de /.
bauched. " .e' ''.
How long this will last we know not,
hut a fearful day of reckoning will
come. Prostitution of high office, vio-
lations of Constitution and law, and
the gradual extinction of the liberty
and purity of the ballot, will eventually
lead to a revolution to which our last
would be child's play. Now, in fact,
we are not free, because Grant Is more
despotic than Austria's monarch.

The Pittsburgh Post calls attention
editorially to speech recently made in
Philadelphia by Sam Josephs,in which
that worthy is reported to have said:
"At Reading, Alderman McMullen
and L could have nominated General
Cass, but we came to the rescue of
Buckalew, and, by our influence, made
him the nominee. Does any man dare
to say that we nominated this man
uncorruptible, for corrupt motives?
We happen to know something about
the conduct of Josephs aud McMullen
at Reading. Some weeks before that
Convention we happened to meet them
both on Chestnut street, in Pbiladel-
phia, and somewhat to our surprise,
found them favorable to the nomina.
ton of Mr.. Buckalew. This was before
Mr.. Buckalew had consented to be
made candidate. After the Williams.
port Convention we met them both in
Philadelphia again, and to our surprise
again, they were not for Buckslew.
When the Reading Convention assem-
sembled we asked Mr.. Josephs what
had led him to change his mind, His
answer spoke volumes. Said he: II
don't think Buckalew is the right man
for Governor. He would wrap himself
up In his dignity and we could not ap.
proach him. If any of our boys got into
trouble he tooutd let them lie in The peni.
tentiary instead of pardoning them.
We could do nothing. for Mem."
The "boys" to whom Josephs alluded
are such fellows as Mara, whom he and
McMullen succeeded in inducing Geary
to pardon, Josephs was right when he
declared that Buckalew would not
prostitute the pardoning power at the
bidding of such fellows as himself and
McMullen. Neither of them voted for
him at Reading, until the sixth ballot,
when his nomination was certain and
there seems to be no doubt that they
both gave Hartranft a hearty sudprort.
Hartranft will not "wrap himself up
in his dignity" will not be unapproach-
able, and will not fail to use the pardon
ing power as unscrupulonSly for
political purposes as money was used
to secure his election. Before the State
election it was we'll known that the
dangerous classes in Philadelphia, the
men who are hanging upon the verge
of crime, and in constant dread of the
law, were going in body for Hartranft.
That they were promised protection in
CRIME we have no dougt, and we have
Just as little doubt that it will be freely
extended to them. Bill. Mann will take
,are of the "boys" are not hardly press.
IN the criminal courts which are under
his control, and when he fails to pre-
vent convictions Hartranft will be
ready to pardon at the solicitation of
such supporters as JOsephs and Nc

STATES NOT HEARD FROM
BOsll /!


Our genial friend johnson has the
following in the Anthracite Monitor:
"The Plymouth Inder thinks that
the nomination of Buckalew for Gov
ernor was a "wretched blunder," and
that Col. III. b. Wright would have
been better candidate. We know oi
no man in Pennsylvania for whom we
would rather have voted. His having
received the largest vote ever polled
for any candidate in Luzerne, and his
poll oi l0,40G votes against 1878 cast for
Bucsaiew, in Schuylkin attest his pop.
uiaii'y among workingmen. AS the
candidate of either party we could have
SUPPORTED and doubtless elected Col
Wright"
iGs is the merest nonsense as the
figures shows. Buckalew received In
tnH alate Sl7, ,76O votes, and Col. Wright
sltl lsh the Democratic nominee for
C1uBtt,ssman-at-La and endorsed
by Ire Labor Reformers received 3I4, OLD

his temper remarkably we'll under very
considerable provocations. But Job
never had the strain upon his nerves
of seeing squad after squad of savages,

government and instead Of being
promptly hanged, curried, palavered,
loaded with gifts, and made drunk at

that over eighty lives were lost. The

WE have not thought it worth while
to crlticise the National Thanksgiving
Proclamation, but other newspapers,
we observe, do not specially admire il.
The Ror5~g (Mass.) Gazette, for in
stance, doesn't see why the people
should be invited "to praise God he.
cause the Government is their creature,
when the Government is engaged in
violating the freedom of elections by
the encouragement of repeating, ballot.
box stuffing, and false registration. :"
Nor does this newspaper see what
special cause for gratitude there is
"whep the execution of the laws
against men charged with criminal
offenses is made to depend upon their
partisan action at the polls" "Thank
God for me" is rather a steep general
order even for Lieutenant-G General.
