we are called upon to overturn the
bondholder in this country. The Greene
hackers always proceed on the theory q &c
bondholders are peculiar class; that these
men are sitting in some high places and
expressing the rest Of us, and it is our
first duty to get up and destroy these bond
holders. Do you ever reflect who these
bondholers are? These Wall street men
are not bondholders. They would laugh
at the idea of being invited to put their
money at four per cent. When you strike
down the bondholders you don't str Re

The PEELlHG AND SKIDDINo LIEN
The Rcnova Record says "The bill in
troduced in the early part OF the ses-
sion TO ecure lumbermen and laborers
a lien for their work, was defeated, il
will be remembered, on account of its
too rigid provisions. Another bill has
been substituted by Mr.. Quigley which
removes the main objections and still
secures the laborers' pay. Under the
new bill all wages due for cutting, peel
ing, skidding, hauling, driving, rafting,
and running of saw logs, square timber
or railroad ties shall be a lien for six
months upon such logs, etc, and shall
be paid for before removal. This bill
will be pressed for final passage by Mr.
Quigley, and we learn il is very likely
to reach the Senate in time for its ac-
ton" A more oppressive and foolish
measure was never introduced in o
Legislative body. Its passage would
pin every laboring man to the wall. If
this bill becomes a law no operator
would employ a laborcr until he would
sign his rights away under this act.
The bill is gotten up in the interest of
a few lumber Shylocks about Lock
Haven, who neither employ men or
manufacture lumber-the middle men.

A SINGULAR CASE OF BURIAL.-We
are requested to state that "thc remains
of Judge Chlsolm, son and daughter,
who were murdered in Mississippisome
time ago, will be inferred in Cedar Hill
Cemetery, near Salona, next Friday.
And that Rev. b b. Ilamlln will dc.
liver the funeral Grafton" 1t does not
appear that any other reason exists for
the burial than that the widow wished
the remains buried somewhere North,
and somehow or other Squire Sigmund
got in communication with her and of.
fered a lot in this cemetery, which was
accepted. As u matter of due caution,
it would become all concerned to salts
fly themselves that the remains are
those they purport TO be. 1t would be n
grim farce should a shadow of doubt
be j%ustifablc in the natter Clinton
Democrat.
This resurrection and burial may be
a new scheme on the part of the ar.
pet-baggers, ITO fire the Northern
heart" Like the shipping of dead
Cinnamon back home, it makes no diff.
ference how worthless a character be
was when he left China, when his dead
heather carcass returns to his native
soil it always excitcs the highest indig.
against the lnfdels in the East.

JUSTICE AT LAsT.-The PIttsburg
Leader, in abiding to the discontinue
of the Union Pacific lobbyists at Wash
ington says; A cheering CLEAN of light
comes from Washington. The Ameri-
can Senate has still the virtue to send
Jay Gould, who came down from New
York jingling bis moncy-bags and open
ly protesting the faith of Sir Horace
Walpole, that every man has bis price,
back to his own place. With its mil.
lions of bribery power and its myriads
of lobbyists skilled in applying that
power, and on the other side only the
equitable claim of the United States TO
the money due it, The Pacific Railroad
"Ring' reeled out Of the Senate cham
Der discounted by a vote that made
Thurman the hero of the hour, and
that will give every patriot a thrill OF
satisfaction and hope for the republic.
II was q glorious victory.

SETTLED BY A CAUcUs.-The Radical
members Of the House of Representa-
tives, at Harrisburg, held q caucus on
Tuesday night of last week for the pur-
pose of agreeing upon a day for the
final adjournment of the Legislature.
After nearly three hours discussion a
motion to support a resolution TO ad-
journ on the oath of May was carried
by q vote 80 yeas to 80 nays. This
will proiong the session until very neal
the last day upon which our law max.
ers can constitutionally draw pay for
their invaluable services and proves
that the Republican majority care much
more about their per diem than they do
about attending to the interests of their
constituents. Were ii not for the limi-
tation set by the Constitution, they
would undoubtedly sit permanently
or until their successors are elected and
force them TO vacate the seats they
have in no way honored.
