Newspapers vs.. Politics.

The Huntingdon editors have fashion Of
speaking out in meeting" just what they
think. The Globe, for instance, raps the Of
fceholders aud a'pirants of its own party over
the knuckles as follows:
"Those of us who have to bear the heavy
expenses of publishing political newspapers
have just cause to complain. During the
campaign we are expected to d. any amou nj
of work for candidates who have never pat.
ronized us, aud then be abused often for moi
doing enough. Often, even, when we secure
the election Of men, they seem through in
stiuct or ingratitude to oommsnee a war upor

We ask every honest man is this right2 Their

ty that is as true to the printer to whom ht
owes his election as he should be.
There are at this time no less than four mel
looking forward to nomination hor sheriff il

advertisements and job work go to the Loea
Ne'cs Office and elsewhere. We propose, ant
hope the Journs! will second the motion, t

patronage goes"
"Wcll you needn't take on in that way
over there. It's just so over here. Party
lines or names do not change the character o
individuals. Those that are too stngy to sub
scribe and pay for their local party paper, arr

meanness, and they will allow themselves t.

The Last Of tho Trio.

There is fatality connected with wrong
doings which mortals cannot account for,
Notwithstanding the Improvements Of the
age" In the fall Of 1866, the Democrats of
Schuylkill county elected two members,
named Lebo and Waggonselier, 20 the Leg
islature, and the Democrats OF Yonk elected
Sam. Mennear to the same position. The
election of United States Senator was pend
ing. When the body met in January, 1857,
the Democrats nominated Col John W.
Forney, then editor of the Pennsyaxaiaa, and
Chairman Of the Democratic State Commit
tee, while the fragments of the dy hg Whig
party, the Know Nothings and the embryo
Republican party all settled on Simon Cam
eron. Party lines were very close In the
Legislature the Democrats having small
majority. Simon "wig-wagged" then as he
has ever since. He deliberately purchased
the yotes of the three members indicated,
and was elected United States Senator, while
Lebo, Mennear and Waggonseller were sent
into exile, and, like Cain, wore the mark on
their forebeads. The last survivos of the
trio, Lebo, who resided ~ Tamaqua, Schuyl-
kill county, was found dead in the stree, by
policeman few nights since. His death
is a mystery; no marks o. violence were
visible on the body, and from the position

THE NAVY DEPARTMENT.

1t is Il matter quite generally conceded
that the late Secretary Robson was the very
worst of the Cabinet officers of the very
worst President this country has yer had.
Since Mr.. Thompson, the new Secretary, has
been in office, his time has been well occu
pied in turning out Of office the employees
of Robeson aud in hunting up the various
illegal transactions of the New jersey mari
ner.
The latest little affair which has engaged
his attention is as to what has become OF the
million Of dollars received from the sale o.
the old Philadelphia Navy Yard. Of thi'
sum s472 ,4l6 is not to be accounted for a
all, and the balance of the sum has been ap
piled to other sources than those provided
for by law. Robeson had hearty ant
cheerful disregard of such minor trihes a
laws, and generally put the public mone'
where it would do the most good-in hi
opinion. His friend Roach. the ship. build
er, got good slice of it, ~ did also his nu
merous friends and henchmen. Nothin!
was illegal to Rebeson's mind that conduce,
to party success and filled the pockets Of po
litical adherents. As Republican succeed
Robeson in office it is not likely that tn
public will know very much of how matter
stand, but if Democrat had taken charg
of the Department, Robson would undonbt
edly have been rendered unhappy in NOR
ways than one.
The Navy as it at present exists is dis
grace to the nation. More money has beeI
expended in tinkering about iron clads thar
would have built feet of serviceable yes
sells and after ali this waste of money tn
iron clads are worthless.
Robeson was not only unfit for his offic
by lack of ability, but was an unscrupulou
politician who cared nothing for the good o
the nation, but only plotted to keep himsel
and friends in power. He entered into Of
fee poor man and retired, it is said an,
generally believed, rich one, and this on
salary of $1,000, IN Washington, is one O
the things that cannot be done BY ordinar,
methods.
| If the secrets Of the Navy Department
could be made known, Robeson might hsv
another public position which would emplo
his time tor some years to come.

We are pleased to see that the Philads.
Press, the most dishonest and contemplate
of all the Radical organs, has succeeded in
alternating most of its supporters by its ridi-
oulous though bloodthirsty editorials relative
to South Carolina. The President turns
cold shoulder to its frantic utterances by
ordering the withdrawal of troops from
Columbia, which is substantially an endorse
ment of Hampton, and the more intelligent
and honest Republicans are disguised with
Forney and his fendish twaddle. The Pres
is steadily losing ground all the time and il
will be day to be marked with white
stone when the last number is issued and
Forney finds his proper place in the ranks
of pot house politicians. Speed the day.

HAYES.

rss' Chandler and Blaine, if they did not Sc
cure his defeat at the polls, as we ourselves
have no duobt they did, did not secure his
triumph, and their Returning Board ar.
rangements, unluckily, were not good enough
TO bear examination. In fact, The Mapage-
ment, as they say at the theatres, blundered
and miscarried up to the day the Electoral
Commission met, and Hayes reached the
Presidency not through what the Republican
chiefs had done for him, but through the
refusal of the Commission TO look into it,"
So says the Nation of March l5, 1877, and
yet, after having cheated the people by the
Returning Board, having again cheated
them by bis promises made to them through
Matthews and others, after having agair
cheated them in the utterances of the Inau

Stamping out Mormu nism.


In view Of the horrible revelations con-
tanod in the confession of John ID. Lee, the
Mormon Bishop, who was shot to death
few days since for being one OF the priucipals
in the fearful Mountain Meadow massacre, it
will be admitted by all that the time has ar
rived when Mormonislu, with all its debasc.
ncnts and crimes, should bc rooted out.
Viewed in its best aspects and wholly apart
from the dread I'll massacre of twenty years
ago, Mormonism is rcpulsivc in every feature.
1t has nothing to commend it, Lust and crime
are its foundations. 1t is oae of those evils
which is literally conceived in sin and born in
iniquity. Every principle of Christianity re-
volts at it' horrd doctrines, and therefore to
tolerate it any longer will be disgrace to the
whoc country. is pre'enre should not he
allowed in civilize country, and the sooner
it is rooted out-externimtcl the more it
will b, to tn, credit OF our G)vcrnmnn'.
Wherever it has reared its hiieoas head it
has carried with it crimes and ab1mjnations
at which the heart shudders and it is very
apparent that years led to it, lifetime,
have not in any sense served to render it les,
olious TO the moral AMI Christian sense Of the
cruntry.

There has just been given to the public
the extraordinary adventures of William NJ.
Tweed, the famous "Boss" of the New York
ring, from the date of his escape from the
Sheriff on December 4th, 1875, until his re-
turn to Ludlow street Jail on the % of No
vembcr, 1876. His life during this period
Of nearly year is as replete with exciting
incidents as can be found in the pages of ro-
nance. Ills escape was effected by the aid
Of gang of burglars, the plot having been
laid whilst in Jail. Taking advantage Of the
momGntary absence of his keepers, who had
accompanied him to his own house, he was
secreted in covered wagon, which was
driven to the North river Here he took
boat and was carried across the river to the
| Palisades. In the dense woods back of the
/ cl fl he lived for three months: thence be
removed to Staten Island, where he remaiu-
/ cd two weeks He then took passage in n
,aal vessel and went to Florida, where he
spent some time hunting and fishing in the
svamps. A coa4ting vessel took him IN Gu
VA and there he was arrested for travelling
without n properly authenticated passport
Finally he took passage on q Spanish vessel
.,r Vigo, where he was again arrested under
the mistaken impression that he was Blk

On the 9Th Of December, 1876, he wrote
