The Supervisors.

The Board Of Supervisors, reckless of the
decision Of the people of this county at the
August election, have appealed to them to de-
clare at the polls next month whether they
are for the County Court or for the Board of
Supervisors The very ordinance submitting
this question is founded in utter ignorance Of
the provisions Of the New Constitution upon
this point. They have evidently not read that
document, and acted either upon secondhand
information Of its contents, or, as they have all
along acted, in complete ignorance and disre-
gard of all law. A school boy from the street
who had read the New Constitution could have
saved them from their ridiculous blunder, and
framed more sensible ordinance But Of this
we will speak more fully hereafter Suffice it
to say they have appealed to the people, and
the people will not disappoiut them. The
seal Of popular reproof and contempt will be
again placed upon a record Of misrule igno-
rance, disregard Of law, and reckless and cor
rupt expenditure Of the peoples money that
can only be known when their government is
thoroughly investigated and all their misdeeds,
now so carefully covered from public view and
knowledge, are brought to light.
Below we print the law which requires an
annual publication of their financial statement
"a law which they have never regarded, aud
for the good reason, that they feared the light
upon their appropriations. We again Call
their attention to it, and that also Of the COM
ing Grand Jury, should they fail to comply
with its requirements
Gu. 80, Sec. SO. The board of supervisors of
every county, within four weeks after the begin
ming Of each fiscal year. shall cause to be published
throughout the county, in the manner specified in
the eighteenth section Of this chapter, an account
Of the receipts and expenditures of the county du
ring the previous fiscal year, arranged under dis
tinct heads, aud specific statement of the debts of
the county, showing the purpose for which each
debt was contracted, the time when il becomes due
and up to what time the interest thereon has been
paid.
1t gives us pleasure toexcept from the above
structures some members Of the Board who
have always manifested the desire, although
they have frequently been powerless, to ad-
min lister the county affairs with honesty and
fidelity.

Be on the Alert.

A person calling himself Henry Lewis, from
Pennsylvania, has been for day or two past
IN our midst, engaging negro men for service
in Pennsylvania-ostensibly for work in ROl-
ling Mills, Quarries, &c.,-at Harrisburg, Pitts
burg, &c, but, we believe, to be used as voters
at the election on the sth Of OctoSer. In the
past three weeks, we are informed, one hun
dred and fifteen negro men have taken the
cars at this place destined FOR Pennsylvania,
and it is expected considerable additional
number will be inyegled by the promises Of
Lewis and other Agents. 1t behOOyes our cit
liens to be on the alert-to note the departures
Of the negro men from our community, their
absence, and their ret,UH-if they are lucky
enough to elude the officers Of the law and get
back again. That they expect only tempo
rary sojoUrn there, aud expect to return here
IN time for our election, we infer from inquiries
made about Round Trip Tickets. If perma-
nent employment Of these negroes was intend
ed by Mr. Lewis he would not trouble him
self about return tickets.

The Pittsburs speech of Mr.. Greeley was in
admirable taste. And now Senator Carl
Schurz has also made telling campaign speech
in the same city. He met with an enthusiast
tic reception, especially among the Germans
Atleast ten thousand persons assembled to
hear him and his greeting was such that it was
some minutes before his voice could be heard.
This German element in the West, so largely
represented at Pittsburg, and elsewhere at Lib
eral-Republican mass-meetings, and led by
men Of the ability Of Carl Schurz Hassaurek.

The very sudden demand for negro work
men in Pennsylvania at this tims-just on the
eve Of the important elections which are to de-
eide the g7eat contest between rational, liberal,
conservative patriots. and unreasonable, bigO-
ted, radical ofice-seekers, is st least suspicious
and should be looked into Agents have been
and are travelling over this and the adjacent
counties in a quiet way gathering up all who
are to be allured by fair promises Of steady
work good wages and small premium to boSt,
and sending of numbers Of them to Pittsburg,
Harrisburg and other plnces. This week a
single batch Of twenty-five were exported
while many others have gone at different times
all fully instructed as to the services which
will be expected of them we have ne doubt
Is Pennsylvania so blind as not to see what is
going on within her borders, or is she willing
that her territory shall be cOlonizsd and her
polls controlled by set Of ignorant strangers,
illegal voters, paid for their franchise by un-
principled men, who hold no sacrifice Of honor
or right dear SO that they may accomplish
their own ends and hold on to the power they
have attained by fraud and cOrruption2 II
not, let Ler establish a close espiORags over her

tsctsd they will be if carefully guarded against

The Baltimore Gazette says it has been well
known that for some time past large numbers
Of negroes have been transported from several
Of the counties Of this State and from Wash
ington city into Pen sylvania, ostensibly to be
employed on some Of the public works there
but really for the purpose Of voting, at the
approaching State election the Grant Rspubli-
can ticket. We are glad to be able to announce
that ample measures have been taken by Dem
ocTats in this State, in conjunction with
the State Committees in Pennsylvania to
Illustrate this fragrant and monstrous
fraud contemplated on the voters Of that State
Experienced detectives familiar with the per-
sons, aames and residences Of these Hartranft
colonists, have for several weeks been upon
their track, travelled in the same cars and on
the same routes with them, and to the sane
points Of destination. Full lists Of these mis-
guided men are now in the hands Of our friends
and will continue to be furnished with every
departure. Il is the determination Of the dem
0crats and Iiberal-Rcpublicans at the points
which have been made the headquarters
Of these colonists, to have them arrested and
stringently prosecutedif they attempt to vote
It is, therefore very likely that many Of them
will makea longer stay there than they antic-
ipated, aud that these yiolators Of the law will
end appropriate accommodations in the J4ils
and penitentiaries Of that State.

The Death of Senator Davis.

In the death Of Hon. Garrett Davis, United
States Senator from Kentucky, who died at
Paris, in that State, on Sunday last, the coun-
try has lost one of its most fearless and honest
statesman. Mr.. Davis was born at Mount
Sterling, Ky, on the 10th Of September, 1901,
and received an excellent English and CLASH
cal education. Adopting the law as profess
sion, he was admitted to the bar Of his native
State in 1928 In 1888 he entered upon his
political career by accepting a nomination to
tho State Legislature. He was elected to the
Legislature for three successive terms, and in
1889 was a member of the State Constitution
al Convention. In this latter year he was
elected Representative in Congress from Ken
lucky, position that he held until 1917, when
he declined to appear again as a candidate
For several years he devoted much Of bis time
to agricultural pursuits. In 1864 he was ap-
pointed a regent of the Smithsonian Institution,
and in 1866 he was one Of the Senators desig-
mated by the Senate to attend the funeral of
General Scott In 1867 he was reelected to
the Senate for the term ending in 1878, and
stood as democrat to the last. His death
will be regretted by both political friends and
opponents. lie had been i'll for some months
