Nelson Il. Wade, the murderer Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Mcbride, near Williams
port, on tho 2Sd OF July last, was hung
in that city on tho 9th. On that
morning he ate a hearty breakfast at
six o'clock. He converscd freely about
the murder, and said that tho only
thought that troubled him was wheth-
or the old folks be murdered are In
heaven, or not. He said he would die
game. AT nine o'clock ho asked the
Sheriff at what hour the execution
would take place! Tho Sheriff in.
formed him between 10 and o'clock.
Wade replied he wished be would
hurry up, as he had made an engage.
ment TO dine in hell with the devil
AT 40 Z. M. an attempt was made
to hang him, and tho drop was knocked
out, but the rope being too long bis
feet struck tho ground, and he was
slightly choked. In this position he
remained shouting 10 Lord, have
mercy" The rope then came Off his
neck, and his body fell over heavily
on the ground. Ills body was carried
upon the soailold, and after long do.
lay in arranging the rope the diop
was again pulled. Ho fell this time
less than three feet, his frame being
violently contorted, and be seemed TO
bc struggling with death. His pulse
countinued 10 beat for scven minutes.
After hanging for twcnty-seven min
utos his body was placed in coffin
and given TO his friends.

conjecture. This much, however, is
certainly known. Under tho inspi-
ration Of the scheme, silver ten cent
pieco was paid to n street car conduc-
tor in New York, and no did not so
much as bite il, credulously received
it and returned tho change. Other

as the work goes on, VIC trust the

it pays silver, though 1t seems to be
falling in value and into the hands OF
the right kind of people, who pay IL
out promiscuously. Let us however
not be too captious and proud. We
owe all this to Mr.. Richardson and
President Grant. But seriously, was
there ever such farce contemplated

II vE'orfAu Example.

Recent Investigations, made by the
Canadian Parliament, establish the
fact that the United States is not the
only territory where "Christian States
men" combine to rob and pIunder tho
people of their lands, through Credit
Mobilier and railroad schemes. 1t
appears that our neighbors across
the border havc been initiating Ames,
Colfax, Scofield & Co., and like them,
have been caught. But unlike our
statesmen, every member of the Ca.
madam government implicated in the
railroad frauds recently brought to
light by an investigation, has resigned
or left the Dominion for more congo
NAL climate. But here all the rob.
bers, except the dead ones, are getting
ready to take their seats IN Congress
for another lease Of two years, and on
and after the first Monday in Deoem-
bor next, our own member, Scofcld,
and Kelly, the Philadelphia patriot,
and their confederates, can be seen
occupying seats in Congress as com.
placently as though they had never
perjured themselves, or robbed the
people OF q dollar, while the Canadian
resigns or fees.

address Of the State Centennial
Committee. .l


To the Members Of the County Centen-
nial Committees and the Public:
Although it has been deemed best
TO relax the efforts of the Com mittee
for time, owing to the financial
troubles, it is hoped that the impres-
sion may not be created that the pro-
gramme as heretofore sci forth is not
to be followed up to a successful re-
silt. The State, exclusive OF the City
OF Philadelphia, will be looked TO for
not less than $500, 900, and so soon as
business prospects brighten, the efforts
heretofore employed 10 that end will
be resumed with all tho increased on
ergy that the circumstances may de-
mand Meanwhile, it is expected that
County Committees will adopt all pre-.
liminary steps TO follow up tho work.
The honor and dignity OF the nation,
in tho judgment OF this Committee,
are seriously involved in this noble
enterprise. Through the acts Of Con.
gress, and tho proclamation OF the
President, the intention on the part
Of tho United States 10 have q grand
Exhibition in Fairmount Park in 1876,
of an International character, has not
only been presented to our own citi-
zens, but to those ofall other civilized
nations, and through tho State De.
partment at Washington foreign gov
ernments have hoon invited 10 partic.
ipate. 1t is apparent, therefore, that
nothing short of carrying out this in
tcntion in a manner beiilting great
nation will save the people OF the
United States and their government
from great humiliation, and the char,
actcr Of our country from reproach.
Pennsylvania, honorcd by being
selected for the location of this great
undertaking, will never suffer herself
to be reproached for not consummat-
ing what she has begun as to tho me-
mortal building for tho uses Of the Ex-
hibition. With such n stake before
us, the Committee are confident no
thoughtful citizen, whether in public
or private life, will fail to do his part
in this noble work

+EORGE B. G0ODLANDER,
The Late Election.


q glorious "field day" for the Demo
Gratis. The old "Union Savers" on
that day routed Radicalism in New
York, Virginia and Wisconsin, and 80
badly crippled its forces in kansas
loyal, bleeding Kansas-and in Min
nesota and Massachusetts, that they
will never recover again, except. in the
latter State, where their fathers used
to hang women for being witches, cut
the tongues out of tho mouths of Quak-
ers, SO they could not preach, and
banisbed Roger Williams and his
Baptist friends and drove them among
the savages of the forest. In a local
ity of this kind, it will take Democ-
racy a long time to take root. How
ever, we have but little doubt but that
in few years more bigotry and ia
naticism will be driven to tho wall
even in that bcnighted State.
The reader may ask, why is it that
Ohio, New York, Maryland, Virginia
and all the States of the North west,
are forsaking Radicalsm and voting
the Democratic ticket, and yet Penn
sylvania still adheres to its Radical
idols 7 There are several reasons
for this. "The Pennsylvania Dutch" /"
as we nro called, always move slow
ly. This arises from our conscr-
vative character. More, our State
was among tho last to elect Demo
cratic State officers previous to tho
breaking out Of Mr.. Stewards r."Irre-
Irossib!e Conflict" Nearly all the
other Northern States had embraced
Radicalism from three to five years
before "the Pennsylvania Dutch went
over. 1t is therefore quite natural
that our State should be the last TO
forsake the Radical heresies and turn
prodigal, after eating husks for twelve
years. Patience, reader Next fall,
when the people will be called upon
to elect Congressman, You will see the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania give
the Credit Mobiliers such trimming
as no set of public robbers ever re.
ceived before.
Just look at Kansas, Illinois, Min.
nesota and Wisconsin, where there
was scarcely any Democrats for ten
years past They this fall nearly
turned things upside down for the
Radical hosts, notwithstanding that
all the powers of Grants Admins.
tration and that of the State was
welded against the Democrats. Our
victory in Wisconsin is truly wonder.
ful, and by next fall Michigan, Min.
nesota, Illinois, Kansas and Iowa, " i'll
follow Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin.
The Democrats and those Republicans
who are opposed to Credit Mobilier
frauds and Salary Grabs, will have a
large majority in the Kansas Legis-
lature and will thereby secure the
two United States Senator's, in the
room of Pomeroy and Caldwell, who
were expelled for fraudulent transac-
tions. The political tide has turned.
Two years from this date will not
find a Radical Governor in Office in
any State of the Union, outside of
New England, and perhaps only in
Massachusetts. Statesmen will again
be brought to the surface, after exper-
imenting for twelve years with hum.
bug loyalsts.

thus II appears that this lnsignih-
cant Ring bank always has moro Of
the State money in its charge thar
any other bank, and frequently has
more than all the other banks Of the
city combined. In The month of April
last it had nearly twice as much as all
the Others put together; while in the
month of July, which is the last state
ment | have been able to obtain, its
proportion was nearly as great. If il
were the strongest and hcalthiest in
stitution in the city, there would be
no serious objection to this arrange
ment; but il is n State institution
that is, it draws its vitality as a cor
poration from tho State. It's charter,
which was approved Feb. 26, 1870,
contains this provision
SEc. II. That the stockholders shall
be personally liable to an amount
equal to the capital stock in addition
thereto; and this charter shall cJn.
tinuc for twenty years.
| am informed that II was found
necessary to insert this section in the
original bill 10 secure its passage.
But twenty days after the charter had
become law with the above vey
proper provision, supplemental bill
was smuggled through the Legislature
and approved by Gov. Goary Marcb
II, 1870, which provides:
SEC. /. That so much Of the act 10
which this il a supplement as provide
that the stockholders in the said bank
shall be individually liable, shall be
construed to mean such liability u
every respect, and no other, as is in.
posed upon stockholders of banks n
the act entitled ian act regulating
banks, approved April l6, 1850, pro
vides
SEC. 32, The stockholders Of every
such bank, in addition to the corpo'.
ate liability, shall be jointly liable 10
the creditors of said bank, being mott.
holders, in their individual capacities
for the amount of all notes issued.
Here, then, is the little Joker. Ths
Peoples Bank issues no notes, ana
therefore there is no responsibility st
tacbing to the stockholders beyond
the amount Of stock they have paid ir.
Tho bank has nominal capital Of
100000. OF this there may have
been only ton per cent. paid in. But
if the whole sum has been paid in it
represents less than IS per cent. of the
amount Of State funds entrusted to its
keeping in July last. In other words,
supposing the State deposit to bo as
large to-day as II was on the first OF
July last, and there is no reason to
suppose II to be any less, Mr. KEN Bile
and his associate arthmeticians might
close the concern tonight, appropri. |
ate not merely the sl4i 600 Of State
deposits, but whatever other money
might DO found in the vaults, and all
that could be recovered by any pro-
cess of law would be tho 100000
which represents the capital Of The in.
stitution, Is not this model institu-
ton to which to entrust the funds OF
the Commonwealth IN. Y. Sun.

Mr.. GreeIeY'S Exactnnss

Mr.. Greeley's memory was. as retertive
as PascaTs. His mind was a maryelous
store-house of facts, dates and events
lie seemed to forget nothing worth re-
membering, He was political c7ciopedeia
of the best revised edition, and entirlv
trustworthy for the last forty years. He
was every hour of the day what tho Trib-
une Almanac is at the close of Decem.
Der. 1t was hard for him to understand
how any member of his profession could
be ignorant or obliVious of ten Thousand
things which few besides himself held in
recollection. lie thought every Journal
Isl should have at least contemnoraneous
pollucaI facts and data at Immediate com
maud. With this exaoting standard. Is
may be imagined how often the editor.in.
chlef was worried by what appeared TO
him 1nexcusable plumbers. Not lone since
there were in Congress TWO Representa-
yves OF the same name Qet them be called
Robln3on), one a Democrat, the other q
Republican, and both resident in this
state. The Democratic Representative
was from Brook yn, and the Republican
from Buffalo and not frequently the night
editor, conioonding them, made one an.
pear III the paper as voting against the
SIDE he really was on, or the other favor.
ing measure to which he was earnasrI,,
opposed. Mr.. Greeley was extremely IN
noyeo at tins but one afternoon. SEEING
the announcement of the RenuhIican
Robinson's death, he declared there was
consolation in the knowledge that the bows
down at the office could not get tho TWO
koblnsons mixed up any more.
Imagine bis frame of mind when. look
ing at the Tribune the next morni az to
lind an obituary of the living. Democrat in
place Of the dead Republican ! IF Mr.
Greeley had been addicted to the excos-
b firo I profanity sa wantonly charged upon
might have been provoked to clothe HIM
s5 WITH curses. But that obituary mas !
tered HIM Language failed; indignation
w choked. He was never heard ..ffer1
