PARTY TRICKERY.
The Examination Of the Pennsylvania
State Treasurer's Books Explained by
General Auditor Allen.

Tne Exa m1 nation of the Pennsylvania
State Treasurer's Books Explained by
General Auditor Allen.
PrrTsBURG, Oct. II, 1879.
Quite breeze was created In political circles
some days previous to the state election by the
announcement that State Treasurer X w. Mackay
had refused to allow a committee Of citizens, o.
democratic procivities, the permission to look at
and examine his accounts at Harrisburg which he
Is obliged TO do according to an act OF the As
semDy. j. Monroe krieter, on behalf OF the COM
mttee, applied to the supreme Court for writ OF
examination OF his accounts This action
was the signal for the partisan press OF
this city and elsewhere to vent its spleen on
the state treasurer and the State government
generally. To-day was fixed for the hearing OF the
rule, when, according to statement OF Auditor
General Allen, who was present, the boot is put
the other leg, and democrats were convicted OF
partisan dishonesty in the matter. The Auditor
General testifies that he offered TO show up his
books to those three citizens who demanded to see
take the trouble to see them. He also offered to
let the editor OF democratic newspaper at Harris
burg examine them. He also saw Mr. J. q.
McAlarney, OF the committee, on the steps Of the
Auditor Generals onice, and urged MIN to come In
and look at the books but lie would not.
The respondent, therefore, claimed tDat ne nad
not been remlss In his duty and was ready now
and ever to show the books, and asked therefore,
that the case be dismissed. The democrats ap.
parently JUDGED that 1t was better party capital to
allow themselves TO seem wronged by refusal TO
see the books than TO see them ana ascertain what
errors there were In them. In this they showed no
more honesty OF intention than the republicans
The Auditor General extends an invitation to each
examination OF the Treasurer's accounts as they
proper.

A NEGRO SHOT.
A Sleeping Man Killed on tho supposf-
tion That He Was Burglar-Hasty
Discharge OF the Defendant.

Discharge OF the Dcfe ndant.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. IT, 1878.
very sad incident occurred at Nicctown, q
suburban district OF Philadelphia at three O'Clock
this morning. A poor old negro, over sixty years
OF age, famiary known as "Black George" was
shot and killed upon the unwarrantablo suppos-
ton that he was burglar. The act was commit
ted Dy Mr.. Henry Price, OF the firm oi nichols.
Price Co., under the following circumstances-
An occupant OF the house being frightened by
shutter disturbed by the wind aroused Mr. frlce,
who at once caught up n shot gun, rushed to tho
entrance OF the house and fired the full load In the
breast OF the Old negro, who was lying litte us
tance away asleep. The moment the shot was
fired the aged man arose and stretched out his
arms, and the next moment fell prostrate TO the
earth q corpse. The most surprising part OF tho
whole affair is that Price, at the investigation OF
the Coroner was at once discharged. This action,
10 seems was entirely unwarrantable upon tho
part OF the Coroner, who by law has no power to-
discharge any one until an investigation has been
made and his innocence shown before Court.
The dead man may have been OF but little use to
the world, but 1t Is the opinion OF everybody that
the act Of the Coroner was IN defiance Ok all law.

THE SITUATION AT HOLGUN.
All the advices received concerning the recent
anair at HoguIn corroborate the reports Tor
warded by your Havana correspondent, In regard
70 its disastrous result to the spanish arms. 1he
Commission referred to In my last letter, as ex.
pected In Havana from that place, have arrived
and held an interview with the Captain General.
His Excellency could grant no more troops TO that
district, Tor the very Important reason that all the
available forces had already been embarked two
days previous In the Isabel La Catolica 0r Gibara
u IS understood that the Commission, which is
composed OF four gentlemen who represent the
city Council and casinos OF H0lgun and Gibara, set
forth TO the Captain General the needs OF that us
trict and It's means OF defence. There are within
the jurisdiction 1000 volunteers, but all are not
armed, and those who have not the best Of
arms. The Commission believes tnat, with
few more regular troops and better
arms, IL VIII be easy to preserve the Zone
OF cultivation from the attacks OF the insurgents
However, enough Ia known from experience In this
struggle TO oJustity the conclusion that with all the
volunteers on hand and troops TO arrive and be
sent. no headway is made In suppressng the
insurrection. Matters have been going on from
bad 10 worse, the volunteers In Havana are not
going to light the insurgcnts, aud the volunteers
The New York herald., 1873-10-18

In the rebel districts are thrown panic at the
approach OF the patriots. Regular troops from
Spain, such as arrive always in small batches are
sent to the 'front.', only to be "gobbled" up Dy the
veteran insurgents.

Dodeing the Responsibility.

Carpenter is elected president of the
senate pro tenn Thirty-two Republicans
voted for him sixteen Democrats voted
for Thurman; .Sch,uz and Sumner cast
blank rOtes- and thirteen Senators declined
to cote at all.
Now, it is fair to presume that Messrs.
Schurz and Sumner, who voted blanks,
and the thirteen gentlemen who refused to
vote in any way, were each and all opposed
to the election of Carpenter. Yet, by tax
ing the course they did, the verdict against
him was shirked which should have been
promptly and fearlessly performed, These
senators may think that by their action
or rather, inaction-they have avoided the
responsibility of contributing to the eleva,
ton of an unworthy person to high and
honorable Office. But they have certainly
assumed another responsibility equal
" grave-that Of lodging a plain
question which their constituents had
right to expect they would boldly
meet. If Carpenter was. in their opinion
proper man for the place. they shoulC
have voted for him if an improper man
then duty aud self-respect demanded they
should vote fairly and squarely agains
him. When will our public men learn tina
the people have better opinion of Draw
knave than of cowardly saint, and tina
of all cowardice in the world moral COW
dice in the worst?

INTERPRETATION OF THE FARMERs.

There seems TO be design, among GER
cain people, to misrepresent the doings OF
the Decatur onvention-especially among
Administration newspapers. Among the
various stories set aAoat to prejudice the
people against the Farmers Anti-Monopo-
" movement, is one asserting that they
not only organized political party at De-
catur, but resolved that none but land
owners should be admitted to membership
in their party, Neither of these state
ments are true.
The Farmers Association did not organ
ize itself into political party at Decatur,
and decided that it would not, after a quite
lengthy discussion upon the subject, both
in the committee on resolutions, and In
the convention.
There we're certain members who were
anxious to effect such an organization, for
personal advantage, but the convention
was opposed to the scheme and defeated
it. They passed a resolution censuring
the old parties for corruption, and severed
the party ties which had before controlled
them as individuals-bu they formed no
political organization of any kind. That
matter is left to the developments of the
future
The State Grange of Patrons Of Hus
bandry which previously met at Blooming
ton resolved that no person was eligible Il
membership who was not actually farm
err or owner of farm lands Z; but the Farm
ers Association which met a week after
wards, at Decatur, not only passed no sucf
resolution, but had active members at it
session which knew no more about farming
than Grant does about craftsmanship.
The misrepresentation of Administra
ton papers can only be effectively counter
acted by the farmers going to work i
earnest to get subscribers for newspaper
which are devoted to their interests, an
not to the interest of any political part
now in existence

The Republican Party's Monument to Horace
Greeley.
From the New-Orleans Picayune.

From the New-Orleans Picayune
Since the death of Mr.. Greeley his char
acter has continued to rise higher and
higher in the public estimation. There
was one cry which above all others over
whelmed Mr.. Greeley, and which bore
Gen. Grant triumphantly into the presl-
dental chair 1t was that the Administra
ton of Grant had proved financial sue
cess; that he was paying off the public
debt at the rate of SlO0,0OO,O00 year,
and that the prosperity of the country un
der his iudicious guidance was miraculous.
Was there ever such an absolute failure
of an Administration to redeem its pledges
to the people? The Republican party
stands as an impostor. Its reduction OF
debt was simply a temporary trick. Its
power to preserve the people from fnan
cial CONFUSION has turned out to be delu
sive And now the reserves are to be re
issued and taxation increased. This is thu
monument which the Republican party
has erected to the memory of Horace
Greeley.
