SPONGING. This is the way the
Pella Iowa Blade puts it: When
you want a notice of some enter
prise in which you are interested,
sponge on your local paper; but
if you want any printing done, give
your order to some drummer out of
town, or some job Office which can
not aid your enterprise by giving it
a notice"
WHILE the Middleberg, N. Y.
Gazette gives vent to his pent up
feelings in this manner: Zone of
the hardest tasks we were ever ask
ed to perform was to say a good
word for a man who had died after
cheating us out of subscription
bill. But We knew the recording
angel would call his attention to
the matter, and so we did as re-
quested."

SUPREME COURT DECISION In
the Supreme Court, in the case of
Frank Denver, relator, VS.. Hobart,
Controller, Respondent. This was
an application for writ of manda-
mus to compel respondent to issue
to relator warrant on the State
Treasurer for So, 1897 65, claimed to
be due relator for his salary as ex
officio Warden of the State Prison.
When the Legislature passed the
Act providing that the State Prison
Commissioners should meet on the
first Monday of April, 1873, for the
purpose of selecting a Warden Of
the State Prison, they also provided
that the sum of $4,000 should be
appropriated ''for the payment of
the salary of the Lieutenant Cover
nor" for house rent, furniture, and
the necessary provision for his ta-
Bile. This amount he has received
and the Court hold that this was
all the Legislature intended he
should have, and deny the writ.
The opinion is by Justice Hawley,
Justice Whitman and Belbnap con-
curing Enterprise.

THE HAPPY MANI noticed a
mechanic, among a number of 9TH
ers, at work in house erected but
little way from my office, who al
ways appeared to be in merry hu-
NOR, who had always a kind word
and a cheerful smile for every one
he met. Let the day be ever so
cold, gloomy or sunless, a happy
smile danced a sunbeam upon his
countenance. Meeting him one
morning, asked him to tell me
the secret of his constant flow of
happy spirits. " No secret, doc
tor" he replied. Il have got one
of the best of wives, and when 1
go to work she has always a word
of encouragement for ME; when /
go home she always meets me with
a tender kise; and she is sure to be
ready with my meals; and she has
done so many things through the
day to please me that 1 cannot find
it in my heart to speak unkindly to
anybody" What influence, then,
hath woman over the heart of man.
to soften it, and to make it the foun-
tain of cheerful and pure emotions.
Speak gently, then; a happy smile
and kind word of greeting after
the tolls of the day are over, cost
nothing, and go far toward making
a home happy and peaceful.

A cotemporary says Mr. Buckalew was a
very proper candidate for Governor three
years ago, 'but his opponents raked up his
war record and thereby excited prejudice
that defeated him." We are then left to in
fer that this sage wants candidate who has
no record! Some fellow who has never
done anything worth noting or putting upon
paper, of whom "nobody knows nothing"
green, inexperienced, untutored by trial, too
ignorant to have an opinion or too cowardly
to express one! And such miserable twad
die is copied by other papers as expressions
of wisdom. If it is, then reputation for in
tegrty, ability, honor, tirmness and expert
ence, and devotion to the public good go for
nothing-constitute, in fact, so many oLjec-
tions-and the most obscure of men would
be the best of candidates! Bosh GIVE us
MEN, experienced aid tried men, ,oiM a re-
cord upon which the public can lean with
confidence, men who have convictions and
dare express them, who are neither afraid or
ashamed of truth and have ability to make
it manifest.
If man is to be killed by such use of his
"record" as was made of Mr.. Buckalew's on
the subject of the war, then he may as read
lily be murdered without a record as with
one. The representations of Russell Erret,
(which was the record used by the Republi-
cans in that regard were unparalleled auda-
cious misrepresentation of the record and
downright false statements. If such things
are to control peoples votes they may as read
lily be perpetrated upon no record at all as up
any.
Give us candidates well known to the pco-
ple-men in whose honesty and ability the
voters may justly have confidence because
they have been tried and proved. OF the
availability of such candidates there can be
no doubt after the fair trial by the Demo-
Gratis of Ohio. In fact wherever tried the
result has proven that able, honest bold
statesmen, whose characteristics are well cs-
tablished and known of all men, are always
the strongest candidates if they have no i'm
portant local prejudices against them and
are not identified with some unpopular meas

A complicated negro insurrection recent
ly occurred in Georgia, but the authorities
have succeeded in quelling it. A late des-
patch says: "Scvcral of the prominent ne
groes connected with the troubles in the
counties have made confessions. Jake
Moorman, first lieutenant of a negro COM
pany, testiiies on oath that nineteen counties
were to be embraced IN the insurrection.
Last Friday was appointed for the uprising.
All white men and ugly white women were
to be killed, pretty white women were to be
spared and the spoils were to be divided
among the negroes. All who have so far
confessed testify substantially the same as
Jake Norman"
The disallection of the negroes is mainly
caused by the non-iulillment Of promises
made to them by carpet-baggers, and repre-
sentations that the civil rights bill would
give them the privilege of associating at
pleasure with the families of the whites, at
their tables, in their parlors, &c. The ig-
norant negroes will probably be punished for
wrong doing into which they have been led
by the infamous conduct Of the carpet-bag-
gers in making promises that never could
be fulfilled, such as that the government
would furnish the negroes with lands, houses,
mules, implements, clothing, money, compel
social equality, raise them to Office, &c, &c.
The proper remedy would be to hang the
carpet-baggers who did the lying.

Look Ont for Beds!

The Erie Observer warns the Democracy
that all the hotels in that city together will
not be able to give beds to more than 600
persons, even by doubling, and therefore it
suggests to delegates to secure rooms in adj
vance. The Observer further adds:
Our citizens will do their best to take care
of such persons as are unable to get into the
hotels, but as the exact number who will be
here cannot be known until the time comes,
the difficulty of providing for them in ad-
vance will be appreciated In case any ex-
perience trouble in getting accommodations,
we trust they will remember that the Conven-
lion was placed here not only without the
solicitation but against the advice of our
representative men, and that the people of
Erie have done their utmost to make the
best of an embarrassing dilemma.
There was no excuse for forcing the con-
vention upon Erie, against the wishes Of its
citizens, who were well aware of the want of
hotel room for such crowd as would proba-
bly, gather, but the generous people of that
city yet seem determined to do all they can
to render those comfortable who attend on
the occasion. Were they to leave them out
in the cold they could not fairly be censurcd
under the circumstances. But our advice to
all who are not delegates is to stay at home,
where they can at least find bed room.

Heavy Losses in the Sinkinc Fund. danger

Heavy Losses in the Sinkinc fund.-Dangef
Of Morel No security.
Last week We repubished statement
showing that $ll l209s Of the State sinking
fund were deposited with two broken banks
at Erie and Franklin. Both Of these broken
concerns were long az, wound up and are
out of existence. The sum named Is there
fore total loss and an effort will be made to
saddle it upon the people, although the State
| Treasurer clears not less than one hundred
thousand dollars annually upon the peoples
money.
But this is not all the money belonging to
the sinking fund that ia lost. The firm of
G.. f. Mason & co., of Towanda which has
81, 600 of the peoples money, is also broken
and out of business, and this swolls the loss
to over $4,000 How MUCH MORE Is
LOST? If few moro such failures as that
Of Jay Caoke & CO., and Duncan, Sherman
Il CO., occur, the half or the whole Of the
sinking fund Of this State may be lost in a
day, for, confessedly the State Treasurer
takes no security for these deposits.
IF NO LOSS OCCURS, THE TREAS
URER RECEIVES A LARGE BONUS
FOR THE DEPOSITS WHICH He AP-
PROPRIATES TO his PRIVATE USE.
| IF LOSS DOES OCCUR ARE THE
PEOPLE TO BE CHARGED WITH III?
IF NOT, WHY ARE THE LOST SUMS
NOTED ABOVE PARADED By MACK
| EY AS A PART OF THE SINKING
FUND?
The Peoples National Bank of Philadcl-
| phia, notorious ring institution of that
city, has nearly URHUNDRED THOU
SAND DOLLARS of the sinking fund de-
posts on hand, for the use of which it does
not pay one cent to the State and gices no
security! 1t often has much larger amounts.
Mackey is himself, or was, the cashier of
the Allegheny National Bank at Pittsburgh,
and that concern has nearly THREE HUN
DRED THOUSAND DOLLARS of the
sinking fund on hand, upon which it banks
and draws heavy interest, and get give8 the
Tdte no security!
Over a million of the peoples money is
now in the hands of bankers and brokers,
without security, part of which is already
lost and all of which may be in day. And
it is kept there in this careless manner for
the sole profit of the Treasury ring and to
enable them to raise money to keep the Re-
publican party in power!
If losses occur the people are called upon
to bear them, directly or indirectly. If none
occur they are still required to pay over a
hundred thousand dollars annually of inter
est on State debt upon bonds that should
have been redesr h. .a.- .au. p i'.'..'
of being deposteI n.s.
The legislative inye,ti- ting com..u..
should at once take up this subject, subpoena
the bankers, and require them to tell ulon
what terms they have the money and what
the State has to rely upon for security that
it will be repaid.

Camp meetings have been unusually sue
cessful this year, although they were all
refreshed in a most lively manner by that
prolific patron of cold water, st. Swithin.
| 1t is claimed that on Sunday last not less
than $1,000 people attended at Wayne,
| Clinton county. Some of the ablest and
most distinguished of the Methodist clergy,
| including Rev DIR. Bowman, formerly of
this county, were present. Perfect order is
said to have prevailed, though if "auld
hornie" was not there himself or represented
by imps, the next estate, the politicians, were.
Besides the home production of that worldly
sainted article, the Honorable Henry Rawle
the Republican and Treasury ring candidate
for State Treasurer, was on hand, exhibiting
his proportions to those who chose to admire
or pay homage to him. Gen. Hoyt, chair
man of the ring State committee, was also
announced to be present but failed to appear
at the appointed time.
The Mountain Grove camp was also well
attended, but we have not had an estimate of
! numbers. We believe the politicians did
not give it special attention. Good order
prevailed, and pleasant and religiousy
profitable time is reported. Other camps in
different parts of the State are also reported
as highly successful, and remarkably good
order is everywhere affirmed

1t is understood that the Republican State
leaders who do not belong to the Treasury
ring are discussing the propriety of with
drawing Gov. Hartranft from the canvass and
rallying upon the Prohibition candidate,
Robert Audley Browne. \ majority Of the
Republican State committee is believed to
favor the project AIackey and his ring are
to be brought in by the withdrawal of PEN
nypacker, Prohibition; all the high contract
ing parties in that case agreeing to support
Rawle for Treasurer. The Republican lead
crs now have no hope of re-electing Hart
ranit if no blunder be committed by the
Democratic State convention to assemble at
Erie on September 8th. The Democracy
are in no wise apprehensive Of blunder
there and are at loss to conceive what
grounds the Republicans have to hope for
such a result. a Republican union upon
Browne would be the most formidable atti-
tude they could present this fall and would
unquestiOnably give the Democracy some
hard work, but games of this sort in politics
rarely inspire public confidence. The Dem
ocrats are bound to win

Lycoming County.

NY mus NVhh'J'
The Democratic convention of Lycoming
county, on Tuesday, unanimously nominated
Robert =. Allen, Esq, Of Williamsport, for
State Senator, with authority to appoint his
ownconferees, and also passed theI following
resolution;
Resoluci, That the representation of the
counties in this Senatorial district should be
the same as the respective counties are enti-
tied to in the House of Representatives
and that the Senatorial conferees be request
ed to meet at Williamsport
So far as the representation of the respect
i've counties of the district is concerned
this is in accordance with the recommenda-
ton of the last Senatorial conference held in
the district and with the action of the Colum-
bia county Democratic convention. The
basis proposed is "A just one and ought to be
acceded to without murmur, as there can be
no possible good reason why Democrat in
Sullivan or Montour should have as much
weight in making nomination as three OF
four in Columbia or four or five in Ly-
coming.
Mr.. Allen is leading lawyer at the Will
Transport bar and a gentleman of high per-
sonal character, qualified for Senator and
would be candidate worthy of his party
In all these respects, however, he is equalled
by Mr.. Barkley, the candidate of Columbia
and with the superior Democratic majority
of this county we think the latter ought to
have the preference.
The following is the balance of the Ly-
coming ticket:
Register and Recorder-Frederick Hess
Treasurer-Jacob :. Maxwell.
mmissioners-Samucl Manct, VIM. F.
Harlan.
Coroner--H. G.. Mccormick.
Auditors-Ezra w. Sweeley, VIM. Full.
mer.
Dr. VIM. f. Logan, Dr. II. II. Martin
and Joshua Taggart, Esq, were elected del
egates to the Erie convention with unani-
nous Instructions to support Col. A. c. Noyes
for Governor.
The ticket is a strong one, made up of fit
candidates, and will be elected. Although
the nominee for Register and Recorder is a
very worthy and deserving man, we regret
the defeat of Col. Seeley, Of the Jersey
Shore Herald who has given considerable
life of devoted, unselfsh aud efficient service
to the Democratic party, and now beginning
to be well stricken in years deserves and
needs some of the favors of the party. 1t
is to be hoped the Democracy will do better
by him in the future

In Reading, Berks county, about two weeks
ago, terrible suicide occurred, a mother
taking her three children out Of the city to
a point on the canal where the water was
about seven feet in depth, and after tying a
basket containing about 20 pounds Of stones
to her body, deliberately taking the children
in her arms, jumping from bridge into the
water. Although seen by two men, before
they could rescue the parties all were
drowned. She was the wife of a Capt. Bis
singer, who served in the 18th regiment du-
ring the war. 1t is said that his wife had
protested against certain attentions he was
paying to another woman in Reading, when
he informed her he would give her $4,000
to leave the house and never return. Terms
OF separation were finally adjusted, but be-
fore they were put in practice she put an
emu to all strife in the manner related. The
funeral was attended by several thousand
people, and when the husband appeared he
was greeted with cries of chang him." lie
was, however, protected by the police until
the parties were partially buried, when the
officers hurried him suddenly to closed
carriage and drove rapidly away, which pre-
vented mobing scene that might have re-
suited in lawless execution.

The Democratic convention of Northum-
Zealand county, on Monday last, nominated
George w. Strine for Sheriff, w. r. F. Wei
mer for Prothonotary, d. c. Dissinger for
Treasurer, and ID. S. Reitz and II. Henre for
Commissioners. The nominations are all
most worthy ones, but that of Mr.. Strine for
Sheriff is particularly commendable. He is a
mechanic, hard working and earnest Dem
ocrat, and an honest man. Although North
cumberland of late years has become close
county politically, we do not doubt that Mr..
Strinc's merits and personal popularity will
ensure his election by a large majority. lie
is eminently worthy the most generous sup
port his party can give him.
