u. q. Senator.

John ]. Patterson, formerly Of Mif-
flintown, in this State, has purchased
IL scat in the United States Senate
from South Carolina. He was educa.
ted by Simon Cameron before he left
the State, and "pnts up jobs" just as
Simon does. DR.. Rcdfeld, of Ohio,
who was present in Columbia, s. C.,
when tho election for Senator came
off, and a strict Republican, in n letter
TO tho Cincinnati Commercial, says:
"For proof have no occasion to 60
far back. John j. Patterson bough,
his late election to the Senate. With
out money he would not have got q
vote; not one. BY expanding be-
tween sixty and sovonty-fve thousand
dollars he bought ninety votes
bought them as you would buy so
many bushels of potatoes. There is
no earthly doubt Of this. His agent,
Worthington, was seen 10 pay the
money to two negro legislators twcn-
ty-fvo minutes before the voto was
taken. One man in the Senate got
thirty five hundred dollars, The vote
was taken in the Senate first, and
there is where he paid tho heaviest,
as be wanted tho moral effect of a
handsome vote on the frs. ballot,
He got it. Ho paid for il. He is a
Senator but he bought the place. He
knows he bought it; tho members OF
the Legislature know ho bought it 4;
Gov. Scott knows hc bought it ; every.
body knows il here, and shall do
what | can to let other people into
the light.
Tho night after the Selection" he
was arrested for bribery and taken to
Jail, but released on writ of habeas
corpus from Judge Mackoy, without
petition or prayer as required by the
State constitution.
The man Patterson is Pcnnsy Iva
MIA sharper, who has been running
the Legislature here for some Time.
ue buys them when ho wants them.
1t is TO be hoped for tho good Of tho
country, if not for the honor (D of the
Republican party, that this is his last
purchase for some timo vet"

Swans given positions NJ EIC
Tho Dcmoctats voted for Davis, OF
Bcrks, for Speaker Of the Senate, and
Brockway, Of Columbia, for Speaker
of tho Houso-both true and pure mon.

to do this winter is to watch and OK

NATIONAL RoBBERY. The Harris
burg Patriot thus pcrtinently remarks:
Attorney General Williams asks Con
gress for an appropriation Of 100000
for deficiencies in the department OF
Justice. For the last fiscal year con-
grcss appropriated SO, 200, 900 for this
department, but that was not enough
in a presidential campaign in which
Ku-Klux trials and other processes Of
repression played an important part.
In the previous year, In which a presi-
Dental election was not TO bc provid-
cd for, the expenses o. the depart
mcnt of Justice were SG59, 9,567 Y5.-
But in the last fiscal year it seems
that tho appropriations for this branch
of the service were for the most part
used as corruption fund. Tho at
torney general feels under the neccs.
sity Of relieving himself from the re-
sponsibility Of devoting so much pub
lic money to party ends. TO his ap.
plication to congress for the money TO
cover deficiencies, he adds extracts
from a correspondence with the ofli-
GERS Of his department, in which he
gently complains of cxtravagant ex-
penditurc Of the public money. Ap-
poaranccs are thus preserved, and as
The object has been attained, congress
will mako little delay in passing the
necessary appropriations.

A Bio STEAL-TuE GOVERNMENT
DEPRUDED OF s900,O0O-IIow IT WAS
DONE. There are several parties now
here from tho Territory of Montana
who are prepared to show to tho salts
faction Of Congress that there sno such
tribe in existence known as the Teton
Sioux, for whose benefit an appropria-
ton of nine hundred thousand dollars
was asked for last year, and for whom
a further appropriation of two bun
dred thousand dollars is provided for
in the Indian appropriation bill which
has just passed tho House. These
parties propose to flo sworn affidavits
with the Senate appropriation COM
mittee, showing that the disbursement
Of moneys TO this so called tribe, cs-
pocially under the agency Of Superin-
tcndent Vial, lately removed to make
way forone Of Senator Harlan's friends
to wit, the Rev. J. Wright, of Iowa,
were made upon fraudulent vouchers.

REFoRMERs The first act for
Grants "divy' venders in Congress
to attempt to pass, on re-asscmbling,
was one 10 raise his salary to tyty
thousand dollars. 1t failed, only be-
cause all loyal members wero not
taken into the pool. Grant 4 Co. re-
fused no doubt to make fair divide
with Tho ring, hence the ring laid him
out, and he will have 100000 less at
the end of his next term than he ex.
pectcd. The first job put through at
Harrisburg last week was 10 increase
the Governors salary from $4,000 to
$4,000. 1t was finally fixed at SO 900.
Hartranft will therefore got that sum,
whilc Geary has been put off with
$1,000. We presume this favorable
legislation is TO make up what George
o. Evans took from Hartranft, while
Auditor General. George did act very
mean with "llarty" and II is no
doubt Loyalty right that the State
should make up the loss to his Excel
icncy. HHa aII M .rnfft

HIGHWAY RoBBERY.--Early on Sat
urdny morning man named Peter
Mcchan, a resident Of New Castle,
was robbed of sl+5 bysome unknown

Friday, and was rather communica-
tive az TO his real estate transactions.
On his arrival here he was met by

started out Penn street, and when
near the railroad crossing his friend
and others beat him numerically and
robbed him of sl45.
After the robbery, the villains placed
the unconscious Mcehan on the track.
IL was not until about o'clock that
hc began 20 recover iIc says he
heard the ringing of a locomotive bell
as though approaching, and stretching
forth one hand felt one of the rails. 2
The bloody-minded villains had
dragged him on the track, beyond
doubt, with tho idea that q passing
train might by killing tho robbed
stranger, hide their crime. Forum
atcly he had strength enough to drag
himself off the track and to tho glass
house near by, where he told his story.
Meehan is very badly beaten, and was
splitting blood very freely. Pittsburgh

A GnrAr FlsAsc,rn.-The Lancas

A GREAT FfsANciER.-The Lancas-
tor Intelligencer says: Under tho above
caption the Express notices the rumor
that Robert W. Maekcy has bought n
controlling interest in the Pittsburgh
Commercial, paying therefor 500, 900.
The Express wonders how Mr. Mackey
has managed to make so much since
he confessed that he was q compare
lively poor man only two years ago
It calls attention TO the fact that he
lost s165, 900 by the failure Of Ycrkes,
which be had to make good TO the
State, and estimates bis contribution
to the expenses Of the recent guber-
natoral campaign at sl00, 900 more.
This would mako s365,000, oil saved
out of the salary of $4,000 a year
which Mr., Mackcy receives as State
Treasurer. We do not wonder that
the Express Is astonishcd at tho opera.
tions Of this great fnancicr. In view
of his wonderful abilities tho Express
declares that il would not be surprised
if Mr.. Mackcy's admirers should insist
upon clccting him State Treasurer and
having his term Of Office extended by
an amendment TO the State Constitu-
lion. 'i

Down on THE FoREIdNERs.-0n the
18th ult., Mr.. Morgan, of Ohio, intro
duced into Congress a resolution to
render naturaliEed citizens who have
resided in the United States fourteen
years eligible to the Presidency and
Vice Presidency. The vote was taken
and resulted in 81 yeas and II nays,
and was lost, MS two.thirds vote was
necessary to pass it. All tho Demo
Gratis Of the House voted in favor of
the resolution. The three negro mem.
bers voted with the Republicans
against the resolution. The negro
Fred Douglass is eligible to the Presi-
dency, becacse he was born in this
country--Cdri ,Aars is not eligible,
because hc was born in a foreign land.
Aud the supporters OF Grant in Con.
gress say this isright and just.

ALL RIonT philadelphia is being
severely punished by the thousands Of
scoundrcls who infcst il. And what
ever devilmcnt the roughs fail to per
petratc on society, Gen. Grant and
Gen. Geary step in and accomplish.
Through the huge efforts of citizens,
who want to see the law faithfully
executed and scoundrels sent TO prison,
q notorious sneak thief, Lester Smith,
and ballot-box stuffcr and repeater,
named Brown, were convicted and
sent TO tho penitentiary, and in less
than two months Grant pardons the
lattor and Gcary tho former, and they
nrc now promenading the streets Of
that city as largely as tho Mayor him
self looking for business. Tho Age
in alluding to this matter says:
Tho pardon Of Brown, the repeater" hai no
yot found journal in this city to paliatc or or
cnsc ". We may, therefore, regard II MS wholll
indeiensible net of the administration, for whicl
even iis own organs cannot find word TO say.
The Ledger, while it joins in con
demning tho pardon Of Brown, "th,
repeater" suggests:
II Is not Improbable that the President ha
been imposed upon by some fraud or forged an
davit, like that which was used by the "Ninc
ioenth ward gang" In the Mulholland case.
Clearfield Republican. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1851-1937, 1873-01-15

Tho reason given for the pardon Of
Paymaster Hodges, is that he is want
cd as u witness against those TO whom
be gave the government money to
speculate with, which amounted 10
about $3.50, 900. Tho President goes
on the principle that tho chef hicf
ought TO 90 clear for the sake Of con-
viciing the accessories. This is cer-
tainly a grand moral idea We ven
turo to say that tho New York bro,
kers to whom Hodges gave the money
to speculate with will never be prose
cuted, and if they are they will never
DO convicted, and most likely cannot,
according to law. And VIC fccl be.
lieving that Gen. Grant knows this
and wants II so.

CONTESTED SEATS IN CONGRESS.
The House has very wisely voted that
hereafter no member of Congress
whose scat is contested shall receive
any portion Of his salary until hc is
sworn in, and that unsuccessful con-
tcstants shall not bc paid anything in
future. Within the last twelve years
moro than q quarter Of a million Of
dollars have been paid out to unsuc-
ccssful contestants, and there is good
reason to believe that in numerous
instances contests were instituted by
defeated candidates for tho express
purpose of plundoring tho United
States treasury. If a defeated candi-
date wants to contest let him do so at
his own expense, and If he is success.
ful let him draw tho salary, while tho
man who was seated by fraud receives
nothing. rlIha,

A QUEER BANKRUpT.-State Treas
nrer Mackcy's friends gave il out after
the Ycrkcs fraud that that transaction
had rendered him bankrupt. That
having paid tho csl35,0O which Ycrkes
had stolen from the State he (Mackey)
would have to rely wholly on his
frionts in tho future. Now it is an
nounccd that he has purchased n con-
trolling interest in tho Pittsburg Com

thousand dollars. Somebody lied huge
