No man in this community ever had a
better reputation for honesty and probity
than Mr.. Paxton. He was generally sup
posed to be above little meannesses. True,
he never did anything for this town or COM
munity, except to make money out of it, but
still he WAS reputable citizen. Recently
be removed himself and family to Virginia,
just previous to having delivered the First
National Bank to swindler innocently Of
course, who was afterwards imprisoned in
our county Jail, but at our recent election he
claimed under oath, to still be resident of
Bloomsourg. In fact he practically divorced
himself from his wife and family. His vote
was admitted by Democratic Board, and
Mr.. Buckalew made an eloquent appeal in
his behalf, which convinced them. The vote
was in violation of tho Constitution, and the
Act of Assembly passed in 1874. He is LA
BILE to the penalties imposed by this Act
but of course no one will prosecute such a
respectable person as our Virginia Pennsyl-
vania citizen.
What is the object We rather think Mr..
Paxton has detied the law for the purpose of
retaining his presidency of the First Nation
Al Bank of this place. A reference to the re-
vised statutes may instruct on this point.

10000 MINERS OUT OF WORK,

A special dispatch from Bethlehem to the
New York Herald says: N@h
The coal mining aud transportation COM
panies of the Schuykill, Lchigh, Wyoming
and Lackawanna regions have for a long
time been planning suspension of produc-
ton at their collieiers, but no positive ar
rangements for a stoppage have been decid-
ed upon until just now, Many of the small.
er producers have been shutting down ever
since the dissolution of the coal combination
but the Delaware and Hudson CoalCompany
one of the heaviest coal and carrying cor
porations in the Lackawanna and Wyoming
or northern coal and carrying corporations
in the Lackawsnna and Wyoming or north
great companies to initiate a suspension
movment. Work has been stopped at all
the mines of the company, the numerous
breakers are now silent, and between $4,000
and Is, 900 workingmen, colliers and their
assistants are thrown out of employment.
It is understood the suspension will continue
for an indefinite period. Several of the
other prominent operating companies have
also followed the same policy. The Phils-
dephia and Reading Company has made
partial cessation of operations. BY the
suspension between $4,000 and 10000 men
employed in the mines Of the different com
panies are either entirely or partially un-
employed. A meeting of managers of nearly
all the coal and transportation companies
has been held, and from what has been
cleaned of their action it is believed Il gen
eral suspension of production will soon oc-
cur, the stoppage being carried out in all
the districts with perhaps the exception of
the Lehigh region. There is over 800, 900
tons of anthracite fuel now STACKED" at
the seaboard depots, and it is said this is
sufficient to meet all ordinary demands
tor at least three months, and the shut. down
will probably continue for that length of
time. The operators say that there is no
profit in coal mining, and they are therefore
compelled to stop production oprevent pos
sible bankruptcy, On the other hand the
colliers say it is a sharp dodge to run up
prices,

ANOTHER LIBEL SUIT.

The path trodden by the independent and
honest newspaper Of the period is not desti
tute of thorns and the Philadelphia Times
appears to have wandered into an unusually
briery portion of the walk. First came one
Nat. Mckay, contractor, breathing forth
vengeance and wrath and demanded redress
for wrongs inflicted through the columns of
the Times aforesaid. The jury didn't agree
with him and he will have to try it again.
Next came his Honor Mayor Stokley, OF
Philadelphia, whose bosom was lacerated, as
he thought by the minions of the press. He,
however, is apparently too mad to try the
case, at least Mcclure has not been mulcted
as yet And last of all comes-McMullen-
ex-Alderman and Councillor McMullen-
"Billy" McMullen, whose pure reputation
he alleges has been torn into shoe strings by
the remorseless Times. 1t would seem as
if there was large amount of reputation
open to injury, lying around loose in Phila-
delphia. We hope Col. McClure's purse will
hold out as long as his pluck, although we
have serious doubts whether there will be
many large fortunes made out of libel suits
against his paper.
The man who aids, assists or abets in the
persecution of such paper as the Times
with view to its suppression, should be
held public enemy and treated according
ly. The only live newspaper Philadelphia
has ever had is luxury not readily to bt
cast aside. Let us have peace.

The fight is fought and Victory perches
on the banners of the Democracy. The re-
turns are as yet incomplete but enough have
been received to prove beyond doubt that
Samuel J. Tilden has been elected President.
The following are the latest reports
New York City complete, gives Demo-
cratic majority of $3.50; Brooklyn, COM
plete II. $50 total majority in both cities
70,S00. In South Carolina a majority is
claimed for Tilden of 4O0O in Louisiana
5000; in Kentucky 600oO Connecticut T.
900; Maryland 10000 to 10000; Indiana 10
600; Georgia, 10000; Florida, 5000; Tennes-
see 10000; Virginia, 25, 900 to 10000; Alaba-
ma %, 900; Delaware 5000 Mississippi 3d.
900.
In Wisconsin there are large Democratic
gains and it is probable that Tilden has
carried the State, Texas and North Carolina
have undoubtedly gone Democratic, as has
also West Virginia.
Large gains are reported for the Democrats
in Michigan and in Massachusetts.
Ohio is claimed by the Republicans by
5000 majority /; in 1872 Gran. had over Al, :
900. A Republican majority of 1900 is
claimed in Maine bat Blaine may have sent
the dispatch.
Rhode Island gives 5000 Republican ma
jor;ty and Vermont 1857 a Democratic
gain of 3,Si9. Iowa is claimed by 10000
majority for the Republicans.
These figures are mainly estimated and
will probably undergo some changes but moi
enough to affect the general result.

The Bloomsburg Columbian, after publish
ing the evidence Of Judge Slattery in the
Mollie Mcguire trial at Mauch Chunk last
week asks, "in the face of these facts how
can any decent Republican longer act with
party that deliberately buys up band Of
cut-throats ?" To turn this thing over and
look at the other side of it-how, in the
face of these facts, can any decent Democrat
longer act with party to which these pur-
chssable cut-throats belong from conviction

which that party is so largely composed ?"-

The Convictions" of the "cut.throats''
mentioned do not seem to have been very
strong nor does it appear that they ever
were Democrats except in name, as they un-
doubtedly assisted in the election of Hart

'large.y composed" of such fellows is, OF
course, too transparently false to need COM

The Williamsport Gazette and Bulletin
is humorous paper but nothing that we
have seen in its columns strikes US as more
amusing than its criticism on the Philadel-
phia Times. Hear it "The Times is falling
into disfavor with the public. 1t had a
mushroom growth, and is likely to wither
under the blaze of public sentiment" The
milk in that cocoanut Is very readily
found. The Times has exposed too many
Republican rogues, defeated too many of them
for Office and been too unsparing in its de.
nunciations of public corruption to merit
the appreciation of a thick and thin paper
like the Gazette. 1t doesn't "wther" worth
