Cabinet which It Was known Ee
would Have TO Refuse.
New York World.1
WASHINGTON, March 10.-It Is now
known that when Mr.. Hayes offered a
seat in his Cabinet to Mr.. Hale 1t was
with the knowledge that Mr.. Chandler,
Mr.. Hale's father-in-law, was earnestly
endeavoring to keep his own position as
Secretary OF the Interior. This, of
couse, made 1t impossible for Mr.. Hale
to accept the office, and Senator Blaine
was therefore justified In regarding Mr..
Hayes offer In such circumstances as a
mere device to placate him without
satisfying or attempting to satisfy his
claims to an effectual recognition by the
new Administration. The refusal OF
Mr.. Hayes to consider the name OF MT.
Frye, which was then urged by Mr..
Blaine, confirmed the latter in his
view Of the case.

The Cincinnati Gazette sums up the
crimes OF the Democratic House In the
Forty-fourth Congress. and this Is the
record 1t makes: They tried to reduce
the Presidents salary to 5000; they
passed Fields bill providing for new
presidential election; they tried to re-
duce the army from $4,000 to 1900
men; they insisted that the army should
not be u5ed tn UveTtufning State gov
ernments. Democrats are not likely to
be dismayed nor the country displeased
at this arraignment On the contrary,
the people will most probably welcome
a repetition of such crimes. II the other
branch OF Congress can only be induced
to sin in the same way, everything will
be lovely.

A report has been received at the Tn

Chamberlain. who has been pursuing
illicit distillers in Georgia. The report
gives the particulars OF the arrest of
the noted guerilla, Harrison Barker,
the arrest Of sixty-fve distillers and the
destruction of twenty-one distilleries
and $4,000 gallons of beer and mash in
the northwestern portion Of Georgia.
Concerning Barker, Agent Chamber
lain writes: 'sSome two or three years
since he was arrested for shooting q
deputy marshal. Subsequently he
made his escape, was arrested after
ward in Kansas City, Mo-, taken to At

Fulton county jail, Since then he has
evaded arrest, and has occupied his
time in protecting the illicit distilleries
OF Forsyth and adjacent counties by
bushwacking civil officers of the gov
eminent. He has been very bold and
defiant, and has often threatened to
kill any officer on sight who attempted
his arrest or invaded his settlement.
He has not slept at home for two years,

ANOTHER BUaLE-CALL.
The Greenbach and Labor State Com.
mittee Have Their Say Abu0t Ohio
and Iowa.


GREENBAoK-LABoR PARTY OF PENNSYLVANIA,
PoTTSvILLE, October Is, 1877.
In the result Of the recent elections in
Ohio and Iowa the friends Of government
money and of the laboring and productive
Interests of the country have great cause
for congratulatiop.
The large Green back Labor vote east in
Ohio and Iowa indicates the rapid growth
Of new party Of overwhelming power, and
gives warning to the supporters OF natioual
bank currency that their control of politi-
cal parties and the policy of the ration is
in danger
By such elections is manifested the fact
that party name, if party principles are
sacrificed, can no longer enforce full party
allegiance.
National banks and productive cap
ital have, through pliable party politicians
fashioned in their own interest the natio-
nal platforms of both the old political
parties.
Such influence has in many instances
repressed the expression Of popular feeling
in State Conventions. and has, as in the
case Of the late Democratic Convention at
Harrisburg, when such feeling demanded
expression, arbitrarily and wrongfully de-
MED it.
Party allegiance is weakened.
That earnest revolt from old party ties
and shackles has commenced in earnest is
the lesson taugh BY the elections in Ohio
and Iowa, and the fact is shown that as
through principles parties come into exis
tsnce and flourish, SO, with the abandon
ment of principle OF the engraftiug o.
Strange doctrines against the will of the
people, they die. AS the national policy OF
both the old parties is declared in the in
terest Of the few rs against the masses o
the people this revolt against party shack.
! les is a subject Of couggatulation to all VIII,
/ regard their country rs greater than their
/ party.
! The large Geeenback Labor vote is tht
1 more gratifying taken in connection will
the fact that the Democratic party in Ohio
| has itself revolteG from the doctrines con
| tained in tn St. Louis platform, and unde
able leadership achieved success
BY the Democrats Of Ohio immediate
rebeal of the resumption act was demanded
and contraction OF the government money
enounced The full Greenback doctrine
was maintained by able leaders, and tn
issue made the more marked by the appea
of Secretary Sherman for resumption, mad
on the eve ofthe election.
The Democratic victory in Ohio was
therefore, victory gained for the doctrine
and policy of the Greenback party.
Shall such victory bear fruit in Pennsyl
vania?
