RATHER QUESTIONABLE, = In the
sense Of true politeness, it is doubtful
whether the conduct of some of the

found the dead walls and fences of that
historic town plastered over with big
posters, displaying these words

RAISING A Fuss.-Thc editor of the
Bellefontc Republican is awful mad, be.
cause bis Radical brethren OF this
Senatorial District elected one Thomas
McNarney, mail agent, delegate to
the State Convention against the ex.
press order of President Hayes Hc
continues;
"we mako lhesc reniarks that the people may
know who the scheming mAnipulAtors are who
the dead beats are, who are heavy load 10 our
party progress who, when they get hold Of The
public teat. are determined 70 hold on whether
the party can carry them or not"
Well why don't you get the s by I
to remove McNarncy and therby put
"civil service" fully in motion in this
district-do something practical for
once.

The Philadelphia Times says "Thc
fight on the State ticket in Ohio is
rather tame one compared with that
which is going on over the Legislative
candidates. The Senatorship is at
stake, and there are great many men
in Ohio Of both parties who want the
position. Secretary Sherman is anx-
ious 10 get back into his old seat, and
if the Legislature is Republican he
will use what power the administra-
ton can spare to bull-doze bis way
through"

.STOUGHTON AND BLACK.


We have never regarded Mr.. Il. W.
Stoughton as public bencihctor. II
he has now come forth to promote the
enjoyment of mankind il Is, We arc
willing to believe, an involuntary and
unconscious performance. But he has
done II nevertheless. He has written
an article discussing in an uniriendly
manner the public career of Mr.. Jero
S, Black, and the malicious editor of

to think that man OF Mr.. Stoughton's
years and experience should be so en-.
tircly alone in the world. lie had no
friend to advise him that he had bet.
ter not fool with Judge Black, and to
lead him gently away. An unwary
boy tickling the rear elevation OF an
abstracted mule is a favorite theme
Tor the pleasantly OF the American
paragraphcr. But he offers only a
faint type of the present aspect of the
Stoughton-Bl Black controversy. As Tor
Judge Black, he has never had such
an opportunity. The late Henry vii,
son offered him chance which he SO
improved that an early posierity is
likely to remember Mr.. Wilson only
by what Mr.. Black said about him
Judge Black has faculty of finding
the vulnerable points Of persons with
whom he engages in controversy, but
he has never fallen in with man SC
variously assailable as Mr.. Stoughton
We merely state the popular feeling
in anticipation of Judge Blacks reply
to Mr.. Stoughton we do not attempt
to justify it. Our opinion is that a
nation which looks forward with pleas
ure to an essay on Mr.. Stoughton by
Judge Black has no right to denounce
a bull-fght as barbarous passtimc,--

says at is natural that the North

forgetiulness is possible, is ready to
maintain the supremacy of the laws,
the authority of the United States and
its integrity, and to assist as cola.
borers with the North in obliterating
the jealousics, hatrcds and dissensons
of other days, and in restoring the
losses and devastations brought about
by the war" And yet there are men
here in the North who are sensible on
all other subjects, who are ianatical
and bigoted enough not to believe a

The Bro LIBEL.--United States SEN
ator Sargent, and Congressman Page,
of California have indicted the editor of
the San Francisco Chronicle, atnine dif.
fcrent places in that State for libel. A
friend Hon. John Lawshe, we suspect)
has sent us copies of that journal con
tanning the proceedings OF the trial at
Placervillc. The testimony shows that
the two public servants above indicat.
ed were the operators OF the California
end of the Credit Mobilier scheme
which crippled so many Of our "Chris.
tian statesmen" A large number Of
persons, butties Of these men, with
nothing to do, were billetcd on the
State and the United States Treasury
from year to year, while kegs Of for
eign wines, brandies and cigars were
smuggled through the Custom House
at San Francisco, as personal baggage.
Gorham, the present Secretary of the
United States Senate and score of
other prominent Calfornians are all
involved in this dirty work. The
proofs Of political villainy and official
roguery is as clear as in the case of
Tweed and his New York confederates
a few years ago. The case has became
so hot that Senator Sargent has been
compelled to enter court and defend
himself by cross examining and bull
dozing the deiendent's witnesses. But
he must 60 under. His crimes are too
patent.

THaT EXTRA SESSION.

Doctor Hayes Is said to be inclined
to the conclusion that no gave wrong
prescription TO the country when lac
decided that 1t needed an extra session
of Congress, and he contemplatcs with.
drawing the call for the meeting in
October. Why he feols thus, We are
not advised. The question in his mind

W. u induced him to call Congress To-

the departments had exhausted their
appropriations, and could not lawfully
continue to spend money which had
not been provided for thcm, it is not
easy to SEQ how the pressing occasion for
tho extra session of Congress has ceased
to exist. If Dr. Hayes has learned
through his recent contact with New
New England Yankees how to run
the government without money, he
can dispense with the assistance OF
Congress in administering IT, and we

The foregoing is bird's-eye view of
the two great powers who are now en-
gagged in mortal combat, and Staying
their thousands, and committing un.
heard of barbarities upon each other
as though there was neither christiani-
ty or civilization above ground. The
details of the recent engagements be-
