TINE RADICAL HEYNOTF.

Well, our opponents have held thcir
State Convention and put ticket in
the field, made out of pretty brittle
material
A noted .corruptiopist from phila-
delphia, EN-. Paxson, WAS nominated
for supreme Judge; AsG. olmsted, Of
Pottcrcounty, was nominated for Heut
Governor; Robert B. Beath, the pres
ent Surveyor General, was nominated
for Secretary of Internal Affairs, and
Harrison Allen, the present incombent
was renominated for Auditor General
This is the completest ring ticket
ever put in the field by any party, and
no more reflects theintcrest and desires
of the people of this State than Beech
erism does sound theology. A long
string Of resolutions follow, all senseless
enough except number ten which reads
thus; i....fi s.l ~
"Tenth. Emancipation and knfrnnehisemeni
having been secured by the adoption Of tho thr-
tecnth and fftscnth amendments to the Constitu-
tion Of tho United States, and by the necessary
legislation for their enforcement, and the equality
Of civil rights having been guaranteed by the
fourteenth amendment, 1t is tho imperative duty
Of Congress to see that such guarantee is enforced
by appropriate statutes. -f.l
This means fair and square amalga-
nation with negroes to be enforced
by the infamous civil rights bill now
pending in Congress.
If white men, who lay any claims to
freedom, can swallow such dose, we
are very much mistaken. This rcso
luton demands that the negro be forced
into associating with the whites in
church, school and social life The
bll in question has already passed the
United States Senate, and having beer

TmT-oN BEEcHER.-Theodore Tilton
has brought a suit for libel against
Beecher, laying his damages at $780,
900. He has also brought suit against
the New York World Tribune and
Brooklyn Eagle, for heavy damages.
Tilton's newspaper, the Golden Age,
commenting on Bceeher's reply to Til
tons statement, says at is ingenious,
adroit and plausible, evidently pre-
pared for the public rather than fol
the committee, and seems to bid ior
votes rather than the simple, honest
truth. His explanations confuse more
than they clear up, and are hard "a
reconcile with his conduct, the Letters
of Mrs. Tilton and the ordinary rules
of human conduct. 1t is possible tc
believe Beecher may have done wrong
but it is impossible to believe he is 0
fool, and that's what his statement
asks. The explanation Of the terribly
contrite, rcmorscful language Of the
letters is too unnatural and forced tc
be accepted without confirmation. He
disregards dates, ,confuses circumstances
and appeals to vulgar religious preju
dice. The statement displays the Gun
ming astuteness of lawyer addressing
a jury, instead of the frank, manly
openness of the minister unversed il
the affairs Of the world

YIEWS on THE WEST.

The editor of the Altoona Tribune,
who has recently been punished by a
trip TO Colorado, among the things
noticed along the route thus alludes to
the great bridge across the Mississippi
river at st. Louis;
Arriving at St Louis | expected to
ride over the new bridge in the ears,
but found that that grand structure
had not been regularly opened to rail
road trains. This bridge is one of the
grandest, il not the very grandest,
superstructure of the kind in this or
any other country. On Monday, in
company with Mr. Jos. A. Darr, of the
firm OF Webber 4 Darr, of Altoona,
who have the contract for painting the
bridge, | walked through ii, ON the
railroad track, which is under the foot
and wagon way. No one can form an
idea of the missive proportions of this
work; the perfection of every part,
without visiting and inspecting il. 1t
is double track bridge and its
strength was tested ON the 4th Of July,
when it was formally opened, by run
ming fourteen loeomotives-seven on
each track--on one span of the bridge,
when ii was found that il only sunk
two inches under that weight After
wards, train consisting of three loco
motives and fifteen passenger cars,
carrying one thousand passengers,
passed through. On the top of the
bridge there is foot way on each
side, and fifty foot carriage and wag-
on way in the centre. AT three diff
ercnt points on the bridge there are
ice water fountains, for the accommo-
dation of the persons who cross to and
fro. Around each fountain are settees
and chairs for resting A brass band is
engaged by the bridge company, two
nights each week, to discourse music
from the fountain stand on the pier.
The bridge is well lighted by gas, and
is beautiful and cool place to walk in
the evenings, and many hundreds may
be found there from sundown until
late NJ nlgt.
The cost of this structure will excede
ten million dollars. The pier in the
middle of the river rests on rock
foundation, ninety-six feet below the
bed of the river The abutment on
the Illinois side is one hundred and
five feet below the surface In talking
with a gentleman who had been al
work for the bridge company since the
commencement, we inquired how
many persons thus far had lost theil
lives by working upon in. lie replied
that fifteen was the reported number
but that thirty-five would be more
nearly correct. Three persons have
already committed suicide here, by
jumping from the top of the bridge in
to the river. The bodies of two wer,
recovered, The daily tolls already
amount to $3.50 per day Mr.. Darr J.
getting on finely with his work, and
expects to finish in October.

A TPUF JNDFY

The nomination of L. M. Paxson for
Supreme Judge, by the Radical State
Convention, is the last disgrace we are
called upon to notice. The vote in
the convention indicates as bad state
of affairs in the Radical ranks in Penn
sylvania, in a moral point of view, as
the late developments bring to light in
Plymouth Church. When body com
posed of 2O6 persons can poll l44 votes
Tor an old legislative rooster and cor
ruptionist like Paxson, for the highest
position in the State, it is indeed true
indication of the degradation existing
in the ranks of this party, which has
for years professed to be controlled by
"grand moral ideas"
This man Paxson should have been
sent to the penitentiary in 1855, when
lr went to Harrisburg to elect DR.
Jayne United States Senator by biib-
ing the members of the Legislature
What kind of Supreme Judge can
the people expect to make out of q
man who has practiced corruption foi
twenty years9 It's very evident that
the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh cor
ruption rings have laid their plans tc
capture the Supreme Court of our
State. Last year they nominated and
elected the weakest man that ever sal
on that bench, and now they have nom
mated the most corrupt piece of hu
manity that ever aspired to that posi-
ton.
1t is fearful thrust at "grand mora
ideas" when, in a body of $50 persons
but 81 honest men can be found wh'
have the manhood to put themselves
on the record as such. viii the poo
pie sanction this last villainous transac
ton We think not

We never saw the truth more COM
pactly crowdcdin the same space than
in the following, which we clip from
the New. York Ssn, whose, editor
knows allnbout Washington and the
men Wild rulceand have rlincd tho
Southern section of pur country. He
until rccently,wasa member h of the
National Radical ring. Read what he
says;
"lrhc people at the North may i'm
agine that they are not sufferers by
the atrocious robberies which have
been perpetrated upon the people of
the reconstructed States by the human
vultures who have represented the
Administration there, receiving the
support and encouragement of prcsi.
dent Graut; but If they think so they
are greatly mistaken, for one part Of
the United States cannot be brought
to ruin by misgovernment and exces-
sivc taxation without tho rest of the
country suffering thereby in many
ways. There are many manuiactur-
ing cities and towns in the Northern
States whose future prosperity largely
dopendsupon a restoration ofthe South
ern trade which formerly gave employ
ment to numerous mechanics and fac
tory operatives hut which has been
greatly decreased or entirely lost owing
to the impoverished condition of the
Southern people. Millions Of dollars
in Southern State bonds are held by
Northern capitalists, which yield no
income because the funde Of these
States have been stolen to enrich cor
rupt politicians. And the failure Of
such States to meet the interest on
their bonds held in Europe is proving
ruinous TO American credit abroad
The present scarcity OF money through
out the country is owing, not to lack
Of currency sufficient to meet legiti-
mate demands, but to the fact that the
management of public affairs in Wash.
ington and in most Of the Southern
States has been corrupt and inefficient,
the great aim of those iptrusted with
the highest powers having apparently
been to accumulate wealth for them
selves, their relations and their personal
friends, regardless Of the interests OF
the people at large. In order to afford
illegal gains TO comparatively a few
persons, the whole country is cxorbi-
tantly taxed, and its best interests arc
mercilessly sacrificed.

that the Convention is not in favor Of
