Senator Howe is a Republican Of good
standing. 1t he is not a Republican OF
good standing, then there is no man oil
good standing in the party.
Now, according TO Mr.. Howe, there are
some things which all the world knows
Among these is the fact that il Hayes
was elected President, Packard was cleo
ted Governor If Packard was not cleo
ted Governor, Hayes was not elected
President. II Packard was elected Gov
ernor, Nichols was a usurper. State
upon which usurper is imposed as Gov
ernor has not republican government
even in form; aud Hayes, 1t Senator
| Howe is right, ought to be removed from
the Office OF President for one or the 9th
er OF two reasons: First, because be was
not elected; or else. secondly, because he
has violated his oath of office and the
Constitution OF the United States by be
| ing party to the forcible overthrow o.
republican government in Louisiana.
1t is q very short fight OF stairs thai
leads irresistlbly to one of these conclu
sions. Both are followed by the same
logical sequence: Hayes should be i'm
| peached aud removed.
In this point Of view, Senator Howe
speech seems to us eminently practica
in its character. The batteries opened
upon it by the facile critics might bette
be turned upon the misconduct OF Mr.
Hayes, which the Senator exposes ant
denounces. Y. Sun.

PARDON HEARING POSTPONED.

At the meeting of the Board of Pardons in
Harrisburg on Tuesday Of last week the hear
ing in the case OF Patrick Tully, Patrick Hes
ter and Peter McHugh was postponed until the
March meeting of the Board
The next most important application heard
was that Of Thomas Fisher, of Carbon county,
for the comtnutation of his death sentence to
imprisonment for life. j. w. Ryon, Esq, Of
Pottsville, appeared for the condemned. He
said he did not ask for pardon for Fisher but
the interposition Of the Board of Pardons to
save him from the gallows. He claimed that
the conviction Of the condemned could never
have been obtained but for the testimony Of
two Mollie Maguires concerned in the murder
of Morgan Powell, and who were known as the
most desperate characters. Mr.. Ryon also re-
ferred to the excitement which prevailed at the
time of the conviction Of Fisher and claimed
that ,he Jury was constituted to convict. During
his remarks he stated he was convinced froni
| undoubted information, that one of the men
executed in June was innocent of the crime for
which he suffered, referring to Thomas Duffy
He appealed to the Board of Pardons to make
| no such mistake az had been committed.

An Unbiased Opinion.

From Comley's Biographical Encyclopedia
Of the distinguished men Of the Empire State
we clip the following Every nation owes it's
peculiar character, its prosperiy--in brief, every
thing that distinguishes it as an individual ma
tion-to the few men belonging to it who have
the courage to step beyond the boundaries pre-
scribed by partisanship, professional traditions
or social customs. In professional, no less than
in political life, there occasionally arise mon
who burs; the fetters of conventionalsm, ind G
nantly rejecting the arbitrary limits imposed
upon their activity, and step boldly forward in
to new fields of enterprise. We call these men
self-mdde. The nation claims them as her
proudest ornaments-the men upon whom she
relies, in peace for her glory in war for her sue
cor. Of this class of men the medical profes
sion has furnished distinguished example in
the successful and justly celebrated physician.
