Rugby Academy presented quite gay
and Christmas-like appearance yesterday
afternoon. The pupils knowing that their
years work was done, and their holidays
about to begin, took this occasion to present
their Christmas gifts to their teachers. A
beautiful and valuable painting was pre-
sented to DR.. Murphy.
To Mr.. Sweet, a very ornamental bronze
inkstand to which was attached ther-
mometer. 40 DAt
A fine gold pen was given to Mr.. Gayley.
The presentation speech was made by
Mr.. Charles s. kice, in behalf of the stu
dents. DR.. Murphy, in reply, thanked
them heartily both for himself and his
teachers, and expressed his great sorrow
that Mr.. Sweet and Mr.. Gayley were pre-
vented by sickness from participating in
the pleasant exercise.
The walls of Rugby Academy, as 10 the
usual custom, is tastefully decorated with
wreaths of evergrsens. 3i0
Dr.. Murphy, after presenting gifts to his
teachers who were present, again thanked
the pupils for their uniform kindness and

Arrest of Count erfetters

JoHNsTowN, Dec. 22.-Thig town Is
greatly hxcited over the arrest of two
counterfeiters, which may eventually
lead to the breaking up OF gang
whose headquarters are supposed to be
located some where In this (Cambria)
county. Late on Monday night two
men arrived here, and the next day
began passing counterfeit money In
the village of Wallmore. They had
passed good deal of the spurious
coin when they were arrested They were
searched and about 60 or 70 dollars in coun-
terfeit coin were found upon their persons.
They were brought here and locked
up in jail. Yesterday morning there
was found in the pipe leading from
the cell another package of spu-
rious money amounting to $50.
The pair gave their names az John Lance
and s. R. Mccormick, of Indiana county.
They were held for trial. It is supposed
that the place where the nefarious business
Of making base coin is located is somewh here
within the limits of the county, probably
not far distant from the neiehborhood
where these two men we're captured. A
dealer in Johnstown is satisfied that within
very recent period he sold to a certain
party the material of which the bogus
money was made, and there are other
circumstances which proves that band of
counterieiters who have been manufacturine
halves, quarters and even hve cent pieces.

PoTTsvILLE, Dec. .22.-Alexander Camp
bell, one Of the Mollie Mcguire leaders, now
enjoys the unenviable distinction Of having
two separate and distinct sentences Of death
hanging over him. he was convicted al
Mauch Chunk, yesterday, of the murder
OF Morgan Powell, mine boss, at Lansford
some years ago. Powell was the prede'
cessor of John P. Jones, whose tragic
death had so much to do with bringing the
murderous organization to justice, and
Campbell stood convicted of murder in the
first degree in that case.
The story of Powell's death is 'quickly
told, but not more quickly than the plot was
conceived and executed. He refused to
give Campbell, who was miner at that
time, certain piece of work which Camp
bell wanted, saying that "better men were
without work." and for that sneering re-
mark he died.
Campbell, indignant, went then to sYel-
low Jack" Donohue, professional muir
derer, who readily undertook the job !; and
one December evening" as Powell was walk
Ing homeward, just vt dusk, he was ap-
preached from behind by three men, one OF
whom-since ascertained TO be Yellow Jack

from which wound he died In few hours

The first of these gentlemen now oc-
cupieS the position which the latter oc-
cupied six years with distinguished
honor. a serious charge of corruption
was brought against him while he oc-
cupied yet higher position than that
of Speaker. And now charge of Grim
lnal corruption is brought against the
former. We bring the two cases to-
gether for the purpose of noting the
different treatment accorded to the two
men. We have had, and have still.
great faith in the integrity of Mr.. Kerr.
and although the evidence against him
IS of terrible directness, we are 10th to
believe HIM guilty, and we do not. In
the case of Mr.. Colfax, we never be-
lieved him guilty, and we regarded his
defense before the committee as amply
sufficient to eXonerate him from blame.
But since that, evidence unsoueht. has
accumulated in his favor. until no fair
minded man can have the slightest
shadow of doubt of his innocence. Yet
he has been bounded by press scaven-.
gers from that day to this. Democratic
newspapers affect tn believe him guilty
when they know better, and if there
were a probability of his again entering
public life, he would be set upon with a
ferOcity and violence unparalleled by
anything that has yet occurred i'm this
campaign of SANDER. Yet the evidence
III his case never had, at its worst. one
tenth part of the directness and force
of the evidence against-Mr. Kerr. But
many of the same newspapers which
have thus slandered Mr. ColfaX, de-
nounce the charge against Mr.. Kerr as
vile and Infamous conspiracy to de-
fame and iniure the Democratic party.
Mr.. Kerr has beer treated with consid-
crate kindness by the Republicans, who
have shown a disposition To treat him
as an innocent man until proved guilty
The least whisper of calumny against
Republicans has been caught up by the
Democrats and treated as true, and the
demand made that they should prove
themselves innocent. or submit to
verdict of guilty. The wickedest Grim
inal ever brought to the bar of justice,
under the wisdom of the common law,
is to be considered innocent until prov
ed guilty. But the rule is reversed
when charge is trumped up against a
Republican. From that moment, he is
pronounced guilty. Over the whole
country, from Dan to Beersheba. he is
published as guilty. There is no tarry-
ing, no delay; and when the case is call
ed. and falls TO the ground for want of
evidence, or if he proves positively the
falsty of the whole infamous Islander,
there is no change in the tone of the
Democratic press. He is still treated
as convicted felon. At this point
righteous law is needed that shall
make criminal offense of the infamies
practiSed under the name of the liberty
of the press.
Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1876-06-08

We do not now recollect any
charge that has been made against any
distinguished Republican, however
false it might be, and however feebly
supported by evidence, that Democratic
newspapers have not universally treat
ed as true; and when totally disprOyed
and overthrown. we have seen no man
ly retractiOn of the charge, or any CEN
sure of the motives which produced it.
But how different is their conduct
when charge is brought against dis
tinguished Democrat, as in the case of
Mr.. Kerr. Then it is at once pronoun-
ced an infamous conspiracy" We
say frankly and fatty that we do not
believe Mr.. Kerr is guilty, and yet the
charge against him is better supported
by evidence and by cOrroborating cir
cumstances than a single one of the
charges against Republicans, not even
excepting the Belknap affair.

Our friend Murray, of the Goshen

the discussion between him and the
Ne,o Era upon a certain point of legis-
lative practice IN the House of Repre-

Packard-is the practice the same on
suspending the rules to pass bill?
Are both carried by single vote?
The practice is the same. The rules
may be suspended to bring Bill be
fore the House for consideration, when
it is open for discussion, and must then
90 through the regular routine. But
if the motion is Ito suspend the rules
and pass the Bill" and two-thirds
vote is given in the affirmative, the
Bill is passed without any other mo-
ton. Ii has been the custom for sew
eral years to pass the River and Harbor
appropriation Bill in this way.

Obituary..

DR.. \. o. Borton. whose death was
mentioned in these columns last
week, deserves, as an Old and worthy
citizen. "A more extended notice.
He was born in Marlboro, Starke
county. Ohio, May 21st, $780, and died
at his residence, one mile south of
Plymouth, May Both, 1876, aged 46
years.
His life. up to manhood, was spent
on farm. In 1858 he came to this
place and commenced the practice of
dentistry, which failing health OBJ
ligcd him to give up some two years
since.
A marked characteristic of DR.. BOr-
ton was thoroughness. His profess
sional work was well done. His am
bition was to do thoroughly whatever
he undertook. When incapacitated
| for professional labor he took salts
| faction in the evidence former pat
rons, who called on him, gave, that
what he had done would last many
years. The public were not slow to
discover his fidelity and skill and by
IA large patronage testified to his
thoroughaess as dentist.
A marked trait OF his character was
integrity. This sprang not from pol
icy, but from principle. He acknowl-
edged the obligation of justice, and
in all his business transactions en-
deavored to conform TO the law of
righteousness. The same was equally
true regarding words and actions.
There are debts of money or service.
There is also an obligation OF cour-
tesy. confidence, kindness, and frank
ness. This obligation he acknowl-
edged. His words, his action and his
whole conduct toward others express
ed his feelings toward them. And
this expression was II that charit-
able judgement would permit HIM
honestly to make.
DR.. Borton was also one of that
class of men who are interested in
the public welfare. He was one who
helped o'build up, by his donations,
such enterprises us are intended for
the good OF the community. Nor was
he Indifferent 10 the larger interest of
our country.
During his long sickness though
not confined to his bed but n few
days-he was aware that consump-
ton was surely taking him to the
grave; and, while it was possible,
) made such disposition OF his property
as would be of the most advantage to
his family.
He looked forward to death with
out fear, even desiring il when too
weak to be of service to his family
He believed God to be just, and yet
to have made such provision that He
would show mercy to all trusting His
goodness, though they had failed to
keep His commandments He as
sured his friends to the last that il
would be well with him, for he trust
, ed in the Righteous and Merciful
} Father.

Quoted at the house, was very large

| its esteem and friendship for him.
