Our attention has recently been called to
the fact that the article published by us some
weeks ago, entitled ''The Garden" which
was clipped from the columns of one of our
most valuable exchanges, the Germantown
Telegraph, appeared without credit. 1t was
an oversight of the proof reader, and not an
intentional theft. We always endeavor to
give the proper credit to all matters. which
we consider worthy of reproduction, as a
glimpse at our columns will at once prove.

HENRY G. WILKINSON, one of the propri-
etors of the Bozeman Times, died of lung
disease, in the 32d year of his age, at his
home in Bozeman, on the 10Th inst, after a
protracted illness. The event, though not

Der that the diseased was a promising young
man, in the very prime of manhood, and
just entering upon the joys and pleasures of
welded life, having but scarcely six months
since been married to Miss Matte Arnold,
of Santa Clara, California, and who is left to
mourn his loss ere a single year has passed.
He was born at Camden Point, Platte coun-
ty, Missouri, in 1916, and has been engaged
in the printing business the most Of his life.
He was one of the proprietors of the Rocky
Mountain Gazette, and was connected with
it until its destruction by fire in 1878, and
since January he has been engaged in the
publication of the TEnaes.~ He Was~one of
the most popular newspaper solicitors that
ever travelled in Montana, and his friends
were numbered,by his acquaintance, which
extended throughout Montana. Though
cut down in the prime of life. he secured
the boon which is most to be desired, a
peaceful hour in which to die-as he passed
away without a struggle, like one laying
himself down to pleasant dreams.

SECOND. The issue of a circulating medium
sufficient to pay all debts public and private.
The above is one of a series of resolu-
tiOns adopted by the Luzerne county con-
vention of tho Greenback and Labor Re-
form parry, held at Pittstou last week, and
at which Hendrick B. Wright was unani-
mously renominated for Congress. If this
resolution had been passed by the inmates
OF lunatic asylum it would not create any
surprise, but coming from men who pro-
fess q knowledge of how to remedy the
present evils Of the country, it is worthy
only Of contempt. When Wright was
elected to Congress by the Democrats of
his district, the Greonback party had not
been organized. Since then, however, he
has seen fit to connect himself with it, has
become its leader in his own county, and
has avowed on the floor of Congress that
as a demagogue he stands cheek by jowl
with Ben Butler. All this being so, it is
TO be hoped that the Democrats in the
district will not forfeit their good name
by endorsing Wright when they meet in
convention to nominate candidate.
Wright boasts that his majority will not
be less than ten thousand, and it may be
so Judging from the vote in Luzerne at The
last November election. Let the Demo
Gratis, however, give him wide birth and
not share in the responsibility of sending
him back to Congress to play such fantastic
tricks in legislation as might well cause
even angels 10 weep.

when we stated in this paper two weeks

J. Bear, Esq, of the same county, would
not permit his name to go before the cons

convention, with the appreciation no doubt
of Mr.. Raer himself, instructing the con-
ferees to support NJ. Cofro:h, sustains us
in all that We said, and is conclusive of the

THE CONGRESSIONAL SCANDAL.

Mrs. SURRATT's INNOCENCE.-Benn
Pitman, the well-known photographer of
this city says a Cincinnati dispatch of
June Goth to the New York Herald, was
interviewed o-day as to his personal
knowledge concerning the trial and execu-
tion of Mrs. SurTatt for the assassination OF
Abraham Lincoln. His attention was
first called to the statement of Mr.. John
I. Ford, the theatrical manager, relative
to the innocence of Mrs. Surratt, and, in
answer to the Herald correspondents
questions, Mr.. Pitman communicated the
following Information He said that he
was the official reporter for the United
States Government in the assassination
trial, the Sons of Liberty investigation and
the Congressional inquiries into the New
Orleans and Memphis riots, and subse.
gently of the Ku-Klnx trials, all Of which
gave him peculiar insight into the yet
unwritten history of those momentous
events. 81 have no doubt" said Mr. Pit
man, "of the correctness of Mr. Ford s
statement of Mrs. Surratt's innocence !:
the grave blunders which grew out of the
assassination trial were due to the theory
MIR. Stanton entertained, that Booth was
the active instrument in great conspira-
cy, the d;ctatory power Of which was the
rebel government. Mrs. Surratt was hang
ed for completely in the assassination plot,
of which she was entirely ignorant, and
poor Spangler was sent to the Dry Tortu-
gus because long rope was found in his
carpet-sack, with which it was supposed
Mr.. Lincoln was to be bound, when in fact
no other use was to be made of it than the
catching of crabs.''

DURING the session Of Congress which
adjourned on yesterday week, after having
lasted over eight months, over siz thousand
bills O. various kinds were introduced, not
more than four hundred OF which passed
both houses. and Of that number not more
than one hundred and fifty were of pub
lie nature. This furnishes a fair idea of
tie character of the legislation during
the session. IL few good measures were
enacted = grea5 many bad ones failed to
ret through, and for that at least the coun-
try ought 10 be thankful. The laws pass
ed affecting The currency were not even an
approach to the demands Of the advocates
Of an almost unlimited issue Of greenback
money, and on that account the country
will escape any sudden shock to its busi-
ness interests. What was accomplished
by Democratic House in the way of re-
trenchment in the public expenditures
was very generally arrested by Republi-
can Senate, SO as to maintain the cost of
administering tic government as nearly as
possible mp to the extravaEant standard of
Republican rule. After the 4th of next
March the Senate will pass into the hands
of the Democrats, and as they will un-
dpuhtedly he able 10 return a majority of
members 70 the next House, the work Of
thorough retrenchment Will then be inau :
gursts.d aud its failure 10 be carried out
Will rest with tie President.

THE proceedings of the Democratic
county convention, which met at the Court
House on Monday last, will be found in
another part of our paper. The only thing
thar distinguished this convention from all
that have preceded it is that although it
met at II o'clock, n. m, lit did not get
through with It's business until daylight on
Tuesday morning, having been in session
all of the previous night. This unusual
cons sumption of time was owing to the very
protracted balloting that became necessary
to determine the nominations for Register
and Recorder, County Treasurer and
County Commissioners, yet for ali that
nothing occurred to interfere with the
harmony and good feeling that prevailed
in the convention fIom its commencement t
until its close. 1t is almost needless to say
that it never serves any useful purpose to
discuss the results arrived at by nominal
ing convention, which are as uncertain as
the drawings in a lottery, nor do we pro-
pose to do so, although the field for such
fruitless amusement is both wide and invit-
ing. The ticket which the convention
nominated is OF course not the one that the
defeated candididates expected at itshands,
bat that is always the case and will con-
tinue to be so as long as county conventions
exist and until some other and better mode,
If there is any, Of selecting candidates is
adopted. The ticket has, however, been
framed by a tribunal regularly constituted
through approved party usages for that
specific purpose, and when its functions
have been performed aGquiesence in the
result is the highest duty of every Demo
crat. If any man supposes that on ac-
count of our own defeat in the convention
for County Treasurer, if the withdra wal of
our name for The sake of harmony and the
success of the party can be called defeat
we say if any one suppOses we will falter
one jot or little in supporting and advocat-
ing the election of the ticket on that &C
count, he is sadly mistaken, and has but a
very poor conception of our true political
in WaTdneSs.
1t is not necessary az this early day that
we should refer in detail to the different
candidates, all of whom are well known to
the Democracy of the county. The con-
ventiOn having discharged the duty with
which it was entrusted it only remains for
every Democrat to aid by his vote in secur-
ing for its nom :nees a triumphant endorse
ment through the ballot boxes.

Hon. MOSES HAMPTON, ex-President
Judge of the District Court of Allegheny
county, died at his home near Pittsburgh,
on Monday last, in the 10Th year of his
age. In 1885, &c and 81, when anti
masonry had become a political power in
this State, Judge. Hampton, who was then a
rising young member Of the Somerset bar,
was frequent attendent at the regular
terms of court held in this county, and is
well remembered by our older citizens.
On more than one occasion he addressed
meetings of the antiSmasOnic party in the
court room, and was some times concerned
with other counsel in conducting the nus
prominent citizens against the erratic but
gifted William B. Conway, then the editor
of the widely circulated Nountaiaecr, pub
lished in this place, and who afterwards
died IN Iowa rs it's territorial secretary.
The well known Charles Ogle, Chau ucey
Forward, Joshua F. Cox and jeremiah S.
Black, all Somerset lawyers, also attended
the courts here duriug the years we have
mentioned. Besides these, Gen. VIM. r.
Smith, of Bedford, John G.. Miles, oi
Huntingdon, Daniel Stanard and William
Banks, both Of Indiana, were regular at.
tendants. OF all this bright array of lega
talent Judge Black is the only one who
survives, having acquired an enduring
fame 70 which none of the others could
successfully aspire. AS an able lawyer
aud an upright judge, Moses Hampton
enjoyed in an eminent degree the respect
and confidence OF the people of Allegheny
county.

This demoralizing incident in the early
lie of Senator John J. Patterson is furnish
ed by the Juniata Sentinel: Before Mr..
Patterson went to South Carolina to see
about the ''five years good stealing he
lived for some time in Juniata county, and
1t was doubtless there that his moral forces
received that deadly shock from which
they have never recovered. Mr.. Patterson
employed a Sunday school teacher to take
some cattle to market, selecting a moral
man of that kind to insure his being hon.
estly dealt with, The Sunday school man
carried out the first part of the arrangement
with great ability, but after be had sold
Mr.. Patterson's cattle and got Mr.. Patter-
sons money in his pocket he lost his way
and finally turned up out Vest somewhere.
That is the kind of Sunday school teaching
Patterson got, and he seems to have lived
up to it with considerable distinction.

There are few indeed of the Pennsvlva
MIA national legislators, especially in the
Democratic delegation, who know how TO
blend simplicity with dignity. They wear
their temporary Gro @ns most ungraciously,
Very few of them seem TO be the same
modest citizens they were previous to their
exaltatiou. In their arrogance they seem
tn forget the fact that although they NAV
be able to make and unma%e laws, there is
power among the people that can make
and unmake them. The chief business of
Pennsylvania Democratic Congressman
is TO procure positions for his hummer con-
stituents. Each member has one or more
political pets to provide for, to whom
government teat must be given TO suck,
and in nine cases out of ten these political
pets are the most undeserving of all their
constituents. 1t is disgraceful to witness
the number of old political hacks who are
filling subordinate positions. With shame
