PAT HESTER. leaders of the Ring,
it appears are not too sauguine of success
in the coming election. In former times
their last hope Of success was in Pat Hester,
but since that member of modern Demo-
cracy has been incarceraled for pursuing
his evil propensities, the Ring met with de-
feat. We notice by the Ddily of Tuesday
last, that an effort is to be made for par
don from Gov. Hartranit to relieve Pat.
We presume that the application is to be
made through the same parties that travel
cd for several days before the election last
fall, giving circulation to the report that
Pat had been pardoned, as some of that
same party are now prominent candidates
In the Democratic party. For the security
of the lives Of ctizcns,an the preservation
Of good order in the coal region, we hope
that they will not succeed in deceiving the
Governor, and that he will not grant such
a pardon hastily.

BANKRUPTCY.-The following extract
from the letter of observer to the Milo
nian is correct and we can fully endorse its
sentiment
1t is a settled fact in the minds Of the peo-
pie as we'll as the mass of the members of
our bar that the Bankrupt Law has got to
be an engine of terror and fraud. Its day
for good has gone by. The object for
which it was finally passed after n long
struggle, has been accomplished, and the
public demand is that it be repealed. 1t
should have been repealed last winter. AS
it now stands poor, but honest man is
not helped when in actual need, and when
assistance would relieve him, because the
threat of Bankrupt proceedings stares him
in the face. Ifhe is in debt, and confesses
judgment for small loan, any designing
creditor or attorney may hold him in ter
ror during n period of six months for fear
of Bankruptcy. The Bankrupt Courts in
many parts Of the country have simply be-
come odious. For the sake Of the poor
man, and for the sake of settled state OF
faith and credit, we demand the repeal oi
the law and let it be speedy. We have
known cases where men have themselves
petitioned for Bankrupt proceedings in
their estate, and have afterwards compro
missed with their creditors, withdrew from
the Bankrupt meshcs, and went on in busi
ness after paying several hundred dollars
to the Bankrupt officials which had better
in the first place been applied to the pay
ment of their debts

THE MYSTERY SURROUNDING THE
MURDER OF CHARLES G GOODRICH SOLVED
Our readers will remember that some
months ago Charles Goodrich, 4 well-to-do
citizen Of Brooklyn, was found murdered
in one of the dwellings he was about hav-
ing finished in that city. The murder
caused great excitement at the time, and
the detectives at once went to work to fer
ret out the guilty party and although they
made an arrest, and were on the track of
Others, they failed to get hold of the right
one until last week, when Kate Stoddard,
with number of aliases, was arrested by
female who was in the employ of the de-
tective department. The woman Stoddard
had lived with Goodrich before his death,
but nothing had been known Of her since
the murder. 1t seems now that she had
shot Goodrich because he desired to separ-
ate from her, and she loved him so much
that she could not bear to give him up.
She says that at the lime the murder was
committed he was STOPPING to kindle fire.
She was standing behind him, and called
him by name and as he turned towards
her she fired into his head. She staid with
him twenty four hours after the murder.
She washed the blood from his face be-
fore leaving him. She is said to be con-
nected with respectable family in New

REPUBLICs in Europe are singular or
ganiztions, being generally Represented by
the mobiles of a country, and upheld by the
army, both ofwhich care little if anything
for the rights and welfare of the people.
In Spain, the struggle now is, not for a
rule which keeps certain class Of decayed
aristocrats in power. The eX-Queen Isa-
bella is trying to overreach these machina-
tions, and, like Eugene of France, depends
largely on the Church for success The
Pope and his priests are expected to aid in
overturning Republicanism in both coun-
tries.

HORRIBLE STORY FROM QUAKAKE-

evil may be wrought by want of heart and
want Of thought. The story runs rs foilows
One day about month ago u brakeman
on the Reading railroad, who had permit
ed his thoughts to dwell upon an accident
by which a man lost his life, until his mind
had become affected, came to Quakake.
Here he fell into the clutches of some train
hands. who, perceiving his unfortunate
condition, resolved to take advantage OF it
for the purpose of having some sport. So
they told him they would show him how
to "get religion" and be saved eternally.
The poor creature jumped at the offer and
resigned himself into the hands of what he
supposed were his friends. They took him
and painted him, his body and face black,
and his hair white They then placed him
beside stove and kept him there until the
paint dried thoroughly. They then var
nished him, leaving his face all streaked
and hideous. Having had their fun they
let him go. lie went away and was subso-
quently found between Tamaqua and

the story rs told to us. We do not vouch
for its truth. But we give it publicly as
the surest and shortest means Of securing
thorough investigation of the matter.
We trust it may be found incorrect. Ii
