The suspension and back river bridges
are infested at nights by bands Of petty
thieves who, under cover Of the darkness,
plumber the wagons OF farmers en- route
TO market, stealing thereirom fruit, butter
and whatever they can conveniently
carry. On Tuesday night last covered
wagon belonging 10 a farmer from Mt.
Pleasant was entered from the rear and q
crate Of peaches broken open and the
principal portion carried of. When the
depredators were discovered they sought
refuge in the dark recesses OF the back
river bridge. Two farmers from this vi
cinity were robbed reCently-ono Of q
large cheese and the other Of q
basket Of butter, On Friday night
last the wagon Of your CORES.
pondent was robbed Of o considerable
quantity Of fruit, and despite his watch
lulness, was again piliered last night
(ruesday) The thieves In both instances
were large boys Of from sixteen totwenty
years, and lied within the bridge for safe.
~. These dark nights, with the imper-
IeCt light furnished by the bridge cornpa.
ny, 1t requires all the watchlulness and
skill Of the farmer 10 drive over the bridge
in safety without bCstOwing any thought

RATHER LATE-Minnesota, like our
own State, has been robbed of 800, 900
by her loyal State Auditor, who, like
our Evans, collected the State funds
and pocketed them. A huge effort ia
now made by the Radical Governor to
arrest the defaulting official The fol-
lowing associate press dispatch is now
being circulated
81. PAUL, Sept. 7.-Governor Davis has written
an o6icisl letter 10 the Attorney General Of the
State, requesting him 10 bring suit OF the earliest
possible moment against Charles McIlrath, late
State Auditor, and his suretes for every cause Of
action that can be sustained against him upon
the evidence adduced In the recent report Of the
special Legislative committee Of investigation in
the matter Of McIlrath's nccounts.
Gov. Davis seems to be as deep in
the mud as Moilrath, II was the
formers duty TO see that the latter
gave the proper bonds before entering
upon his duty. This was not done at
the second term, and the Auditor has
been acting for three years without
sureties, and not being worth anything
himself, the State will lose the sum in
dicated. The Governors zeal at this
time reminds us of the farmer, who
usually has his stable locked after the
horse Is stolen.

A GooD JuDaE.---The editor of the
Butler Herald, who is an old Conven-
ton goer and was candidate before
that body, says; 1--WE attended the
Democratic State Convention held in
Pittsburgh, and we do not exaggerate
when we say, that o better body Of
men scarcely ever assembled in this
State. Although there was an attempt
an the part Of n few wire workers TO
Gx things up and take charge of the
whole matter, the honest men of the
Convention smashed the states before
they had clcveriy assumed shape
The result was that we have now a
ticket of which the honest masses of
the party have great reason to he
proud There is not man on IL who
is not capaeitated for che position for
which he has been nominated, nor one
whose public and private reputation is
not beyond rproach. The result of
The Conventions labors should com
'nand the hearty support Of every man

.as good Old days when honesty and

The Philadelphia Evening 1dcgdpd,
published by the llarlings, and one OF
the leading Radical journals of that
city and of the State, has this TO say
of Edward NJ. Paxson, whom that
party has just set up for Judge of the
Supreme Court;
I "It Is simply an insult and dishcnor to tho Re.
publican party of Pennsylvania that man OF
mediocre ability and tainted character should be
forced into the highest judicial position In the
State, by bargaining and dickcring that would
disgrace ward caucus. And this Is precisely the
ladder over which Paxson mounts to n seat In
our high court Of appeals with Agncw, Williams,
Mercur, Gordon and Sherwood"
That is certainly Democratic gospel,
and should be convincing proof when
given by an advocate of grand moral
IDEAS" Paxsons corruption and NOR.
al incapacity for the position to which
he aspires is as glaring as the MONDAY
sun to every observer Of current evonts.
And what puzzles us is, that so many
men who want to do no wrong clamor
for his election. Paxson's corruption,
added TO the weakness and bigotry of
Gordon, will soon drag our Supreme
Court in the mud, should the people
be foolish enough to elect the former.
When the majority of that Court is
made up of such men as the two we
have indicated, the people may as wen
hang their political "harps upon the
willows because the Philadelphia
Roughs will control the Supreme Court
as cfIectually as they did the recent
Radical State Convention.

THO MAY VOTE.

1t is well to remind our readers that
under the new Constitution, every per
son offering TO vote must show: a
|. That he has been n citizen Of the
United States at least one month";
This will cut OF all persons natural
lied after the 3rd day of October in
tho prosent year
9. That he has resided in the State
q year, or, if formerly a resident and
removed therefrom shall have returned
six months proceeding the election
This is the same provision that pre-
vailed in the old Constitution.
8. That he has resided in the elec'
ton district where he offers to vote at
least two months Immediately before
the election.
4. That he has, within two years

DISHONESTY IN PRIVATE
JTEE


When there is so much dishonesty in
public affairs, II IL impossible that pri.
vatc business and private men should
he perfectly clean The soil must be
in a noXious state before such noxious
plants will springup. The same causes
which have depraved.our politics and
corrupted our Congressman and exec.
utive officers must also exercise their
pernieious effect upon every class and
ramifcntion of society
Facts to prove this view of the case
are abundant In Hartford the other
day Il was discovered that u number
of respectable persons had combined
with thievish car conductors and had
actually become the receivers and
sharerS of their stolen money Wea
also informed by manufacturers and
other employers Of labor that it is now
a-days almost impossible to find fore
man who does not receive u commission,
or rather bribe, from parties of whom
IL Is bis duty to purchase materials or
articles needed in the business for
which he is employed. This form Of
dishonesty is said now to have become
nearly universal, so that an upright
agent or foreman, who does not in this
way plunder his employer, has become
an honorable exception
We are reluctant to believe that this
evil is SO widespread The idea that
a majority Of our people have become
so dishonest that they are willing to
live by appropriating the property OF
Others, would indeed be most discour-
aging if we could think Il true, 1t is
certain, however that the weakened
morality which follows upon every
great war and every era of speculation,
cannot be confined to the villainy,
fraud and plundcr which disfgure our
public life, and excite such deep anxiety
in the mind Of every patriot.--N " Sun
