Congress adjourned sine d's on the

stead OF maintaining its dignity and
standing as the conservative branch oil

an undignifcd and Radical body,

partisan motives and desire for the
accomplishment, at any hazard, OF

extreme measures during tho session

FLEXIBLE Pension LAVA 10y
alist named Collins, while acting
as Pension Agent, defrauded the
Treasury out of $4,000, and was dis
misSed-not prosecuted--for the rob.
berry. The Washington correspond.
ent Of the New York Herald, Of the
18th, says:
Mrs. Collins, wifc of DR.. W. T. Collins, late
Pension Agent in this city, called on the Second
Comptroller to-day 10 learn whether her husband
Is still entitled to pension, he being dofaulter
TO the government. The Second Comptroller in
formed her that her husbands defalcation does
not invalidate his claim to a pension, under law
of Congress passed in 1880, and that he would
continue to receive his pension the same as other
pensioners.
The success Of this unparalleled
piece of impudenco will drive every
Treasury robber to apply for pen
sion. We presume Mrs. Collins wants
to buy a Dolly Warden dress, and the
Doctor being little "short" the wife
applies to the United States Treasury
for funds.

THE RADICAL NoMINEEs.-A riotous
assemblage met in the Court House on
Tuesday evening, llth, and nomina-
ted the following gentlemen, who by
the way are all extreme Radicals
Mr.. A. c. Fiuney, for Constitutional
Convention, D. W. McCurdy, Esq, for
Assembly, Mr.. Thomas Leonard, for
County Commissioner, and Mr.. A. l.
Shaw for Auditor. The nominees all
reside in this borough except Mr.
Leonard, who is a resident OF Girard
township. Ho declined the nomina'
tion when tendered, but the riotous
assemblage insisted on him being the
candidate. At least 5000 voters will
be with MIR. Leonard next October
and insist on bis declension.
Mr.. Finney is number one banker
and log dealer, but lily qualified for
constitution manufacturer. Esq. Nc
Curdy is good lawyer, but has nc
qualification for Assembly. Mr.. Leon
ard is the equal of Greeley in The
farming line, but has no taste for thu
onerous duties OF Commissioner. Mr.
"Archy" Shaw is first class druggist
which suits him mach better than ad
ding up long columns of figures.
Upon the whole, we think the citi
zens of Clear6eld county will not in
sst upon these gentlemen abandoning
their respective callings by abou
1,500 majority next October.

TRUE Az THE NEEDLE TO THE PoLE.
AS we gain our liberties through
revolution, it is popular error 10
suppose that they are lost through
violence. The loss comes 10 the slow
subtle, and insidious cncroachmcnt
that first rots, and then sezes, as the
boa constructor shines over what IL
swallows. All is gone before we
awaken TO the danger Of its going, and
then comes revolution and blood to
regain what we have willingly parted
with. Now the revenues OF the gov.
ernment are used TO enrich incorporat.
cd monopolists, legislatures are owned
by railroad companies, Senatorial chairs
are openly sold TO the highest bidders,
our courts arc packed and corrupted,
the Presidency fought over by factions,
while the people arc ground down by
heavy taxation 80 arranged as TO rob
from labor to enrich tho capitalists
and VIC suffer from bard times that
como OF bad government How much
longer this will be borne God only
knows; but unless human nature Il
greatly changed, sooner or later there
will be rcsistapcc.--yudge Black,

Timely .fdnOniiiOn

1t is mortifying 10 us to know that
there are editors and politicians in our
organization, who assume to be
Democrats above all others, that prate
about not supporting Mr., Greeley,
even if nominated by tho National
Democratic Convention. Then there
is another class who assume to
themselves the special duty of "set.
ting Mr.. Greeley up" and compelling
tho National Convention to adopt him.
These supcrserviceable factions are
doing more to disrupt the Democratic
party than the gift taker and his
hosts of office holders.
We advise all TO keep their powder
dry until the common enemy is
brought within proper range and
then fire all together, from the front
and hanks, and We will drive the in
yaders of our liberties from the field
without loosing State, unless it bC
Massachusetts, and Vermont. They
naturally belong 10 Canada, anyhow
let them go.
This thing of firing off a gun occa
sionally at West Chester, Bollofonto
and other places we might name, long
before the enemy is in raugc, is al
evidence Of bad generalship, and mus
lead to overwhelming defeat If persist
ed in. Editors, like other people
having delegated their power, shoul'
possess the etiquette to wait and Sc
whether their agents bctray them
otherwise they are out of order, an'
may be charged with being dictatorial
which would be reproach to an.
Democratic editor if tho facts wer
established. In abiding to this qucs
ton the Washington Patriot well an,
truly says:
He is a dupe of foolish infatuation who SUI
poses that the coming election can be carrie
without hard work, and a perfect union Of Il
Democratic party. 1t Is our duty to say empha
! ically now, when good only can rcsult from Il
, admonition, that unless VIC organize in detail an
build from the foundation ur, defeat Is invite
And this remark applies with full force to nr
candidate who may be nominated at Baltimor
, II the Democratic vote be divided or distracte
r disaster is inevitable. To prevent such cnta
! trophc, the effort should be TO conciliatc, uni
and strengthen the party, so that the candidai
whoever he may be, shall receive an honest co
dial, and solid support. That has been and
our aim, and We consider II far more importa
, duty than engaging In controversy about cand
dates, none Of whom eau ever hope for an elccti'
without thorough aud active organization.
