tai was thrown into an excitement on
Monday, over the resignation Of Soma
tor Cameron. The Governor informed
both Houses of the fact on Monday
night The election Of J. Donald
Cameron, late Secretary of War is Of
course uppermost in the desires of the
Father of the Senate, and we presume
there are too many Cameron members
in our Legislature to elect anybody
else but a Cameron. However, if the
split is as potent at Harrisburg as at
Washington, some rebel might OBJ.

RADICAL MoRALITY.-The Lancas-
ter Inteiligcncer says, "For the first
time in the history Of the republic q
man is foisted upon it for chief magis
trate, who has received neither pop
ular nor a Constitutional majority Of
its electors. RutheriorI B. Hayes, ac-
cepting position conferred upon him
by four scoundrels in Louisiana, and
by no moro respectable authority, ex-
hibits the Illuminating spectacle OF n
man made the fountain of honor
and Of Office who is "not worthy of the
Office OF President" because be is will
ing TO hold it after being counted in
or placed there by fraud" 1t is n
question OF brief time that the nation
will realize the truth of the prophecy:
"the country cannot afford to have the
result tainted by the suspicion OF ihe-
gal or false returns"
No man can rejoice in this result ex-
cept he be willing TO hail with acclaim
the triumph of fraud. Every man who
realizes the full significance of the
shame viii mourn rather for the ma
tional disgrace than for the temporary
loss of party advantage.

The GUILTY ALWAYS FLEE.--Hayes
and the whole Republican clique in
Washington, became greatly alarmed
on Saturday, the Sd, by rumor that
by some hook or crook, Mr. Tilden
was to be inaugurated President A
lnrried consultation was had between
Fraud Hayes, Boss Grant, Drunken
Chandler, and Chacknasty Morton,
when it was decided that the oath
should at once be administered to the
Fraud; Chief Justice Waite was sent
for and the oath was taken. "Let no
guilty man escape" Well, as Hayes
was also sworn on Monday, and is
therefore under double obligation to
discharge his duties as President, may
account for the fact that he is passing
by such demagogues as Morton, Cam
eron, Blaine & Co. The guilty always
flee when no man pursues. MIR. Tilden
and his personal advisers would just
as likely resort to horse stealing as TO
stoop to dodge OF the kind indicated,
and it was very unjust toward them
for the ballot box suffers and Return.
ing Boards to intimate anything of the
kind.

Don TO PAP TAFT.-Don Cameron
the other day was bitterly complain
ing to Attorney General Taft about
Hayes perfidy toward him, when TAFT,
who comes from Ohio, and knows
Hayes thoroughly, replied: "Oh, don't
distress yourself about that. That's n
habit he has. have his written pledge
that he would not go before the Ohio
Convention for Governor if my name
went before il. Yet he broke his pledge,
and worked like a street corner poll
tician to defeat my nomination, and be
never yet had the grace TO apologize
for his conduct, Ho is eminent as a
pledge-brealser. know Of fotherpledges
that he intends to break. We know
all about him in Ohio, and the rest OF
mankind are likely to form his ac-
quaintance.

RADICAL PRosPERITY.-Ane exchange
says; "There is piled on the grounds
of the Chestnut Hill Iron Orc Compa-
pany's Furnaces, in Columbia, hancas-
ter county, nearly 10000 tons of the
best pig.iron, manufactured some time
ago, and for which there is no market
at prices demanded by the owners.
Eighteen dollars per ton was offered
for largo lot, to be delivered in New
York, few weeks ago, but the bid
was not accepted" There are scores
of other manufacturing establishments

AWFUL AWFUL The mail bags
will be handled by the bloody Conicd-
crates in the future. We fear that
three.fourihs of the loyal Postmasters
will resign abruptly, and thereby throw
the Postfiice affairs into all kinds of
delay and confusion, because a Conitd.
crate General has been put in charge
of that Department. Only twelve
years since the rebellion closed and u
Confederate KEY unloclSs all the mail
bags. It's enough to raise bloody
shirt regiment in twenty minutes.
Reader, imagine the pains and suffer
ings that Morton, Blaine d Co., are
undergoing at this moment lt'struly
awful But, we know no remedy.

SO, Sol-'rhe editor of the Curwens'
vile Times has imbibed Blaineism, and
goes forthc counted in rathercarelessly.
In alluding to his friends Packard and
Chamberlain, he remarks "lf Mr.
Hayes intends dodging the question
nop, then the sooner Congress- and the
people know it the better. There is
no question but that President Hayes
will in the end recognize Governors
Packard and Chamberlain, or bear the
ignomy OF nn usurper of the Presiden'
tia chair The final decision Of the
Tribunal made Mr. Hayes President
with that decision also Packard is the
legal Governor OF Louisiana, and
Chamberlain OF South Carolina" That
intimidation step will c,use Hayes
knees to knock together like Belshaz
zar's, should he ever see the threat.

Tue STATE RoBBERs.--The editor
of the Danvillc inteitgencer, in alluding
to the huge Military expenditures in
this State says
Especial attention Of late has been
directed to the enormous expenses IN
flicted on the taxpayers Of the Com
monweallb through its militia system.
Tho Auditor Generals report shows
that the expenses Of the militia organ
ization il 1875 were Sl02 9i5.44, while
last year the ordinary militia expenses
rose TO S227 ,6656l, leaving out the ex-
ira expenses incurred for the Centen-
nial picnic. As has been wclremarked,
lat this rate of progression the militia
cxpensesof Pennsylvania will soon OK
ceed the cost Of the common schools y
We think that most Of our readers will
conclude that this is rather a heavy bill
for playing "sogering." The whole
thing is an incubus on the people and
should be reformed forthwith. Most
Of the expense is incurred to allow n
few iea,hcr-bed soldiers, officers, TO dis.
port their gny uniforms on holiday oc-
casions. The papers OF the Common
wealth, without distinction Of party,
should direct public attention to this
unnecessary outlay of the peoples
money and urge their Representatives

AN INrIMlpATon Returning Board

AN lNTlMIpAToR. Returning Board
Hayes seems TO be rather bold man
after all. Whether he inherited that
quality, or whether he has been ren.
dercd aggressive because of his two
oaths, the one taken on Saturday night,
and the other on Monday noon, is no
body's business; but it Is a notorious
fact that the 'icounted.inn has bull
dozed and intimiduted the Camerons,
Chambers, Morton and Blame most
awfully. He has, in effect, thrown
this rdofpolitical jacobins clear over
board. The people will rejoice at this
bold stroke of policy, but we are not
sure that the result of the Returning
Board will hold out against these bold,
bad, wicked men.
