SO WE oo.-Thc Philadelphia Times
alludes to the fact that General Bot
Toombs left his comfortable quarters
at White Sulphur Springs the other
day that he might travel fifteen hun.
dred miles to attend meeting of the
Board Of Trustees of the Athens, Geor-
gia, University, from which institution
he was expelled when boy for injulg
ing in fist-hght with his roommate
In connection with this, the editor
might have stated another fact That
Gen. Schofeld, now in command al
West Point, has expelled four boys
from that institution, for "hazing.'
About twenty. five years ago the Gen

THE LEGISLATIVE BRTBER Y
CASES.

Welcarn from the Harrisburg Patriot
OF Thursday last, that the cases Of the
Commonwealth against the persons
charged with attempting to secure
votes for the riot bill by means of
bribery and corrupt solicitation, con.
linue to excite much speculation
twenty-five indictments will be laid
before the next grand jury, which are
distributed as follows Chas. b. Salter,
| 8; ID. X, Shoemaker, l E. J. MCune,
|; c. Long, l. Jesse Il. Crawford, 4

inst, notified to enter bail before Alder
man Maurer for the appearance of
their clients at Court. In the alter.
noon Messrs j. C. Bomberger and VIM.
IL. Kemble gave bail to the amount OF
$500 on each charge. Bail was entered
for Mr.. Chris. Long by J. j. Dull, Esq.
All of the indictments will be laid be,
fore the grand jury on Thursday OF
Court week, and in case true bills are
found the committee has decided 10

unless the defendants move postpone
mont, when the case will probably 60
over to an adjourned Court. Much
surmlse is INDUCED in as TO where the
money is to come from to pay the
necessarily large ices of the distinguish
ed counsel engaged for the prosecution
Many are inclined TO believe that the
lawyers have been guaranteed theil
pay only in case Of the success of thI
Commonweslth in the suits and thai
then futuc Legislative appropriation
will be relied on; but Patriot report
er learned rom reliable authority thai

BAD EoUALITY.-The Wallace In
vestigating Committee has been max
ing, inquiry into the provision of the
Constitution of the State of Rhode
Island, which requires property quail
ification for ioreign-born citizens
claiming the right to vote, 1t is sait
that over three thousand naturalized
foreigners are disfrancbised in thai
State, because they do not own rea
estate to the value OF s134. The
restriction applies only to foreign.borr
citizens. Native Americans can vote
whether white or black, even though
they do not own a dollars worth O
real estate. The Democratic party O
Rhode Island is in favor of removing
this unjust restriction, 80 that al
classes of citizens may be placed on or
equality, so far as the right 10 vote il
concerned.

A GOSPEL TRUTH.-The New York
Herald seldom contributes anything tc
the Democratic side of truth How
ever last week the editor said "ThC
single, notorious fact that since the
Democrats obtained the mastery oi
the House the lobby has utterly disap
peared from Washington, IS an argu
ment which every farmer and mechan
ic can understand. 1t means that
huge and wastcful leaks in the Treas

LEGGINa FOR AN EMPIRE.--A con-
temporary states that Senator Ben
Hill is corresponding with William G.
Dix, of Peabody, Massachusetts, on
the subject of Capitalization. Mr.. Dix,
who is a Republican, blames that par.
ty because its statesmen did not at the
end of the war throw aside the Con-
sttution of the United States-"bury
it in the same grave with Slavery
and adopt National Constitution
His idea is that under our Federal
Constitution the miserable old cry ol
States rights will always be heard. He
thinks that there should be National
Government, the Governors of States
though still elected by the people OF
the State, to have their commissions
signed by the National Executive, the
Mayors of cities to be commissioned in
the same way, in fact, that State
Courts, State Militias and State Con.
stitutions should be abolished" The
man who holds such views should &c

and not annoy his neighbors here with
his political heresies,

NorHING OF THE KIND IN HIM
The Philadelphia Times, in alluding tC

know that if man pocketed the re
marks made by Senator Lamar, that

I'VE SECOND THE MOTION

The editor of the Cambria Freemdn
in alluding to political cut.throats, says;
"Stanley Woodward, a Wilkes Barre
lawyer and somewhat prominent as u
politician, is a son OF the late distin-
guished Judge George W. Woodward,
and his Democracy, like his fathers,
ought to be beyond suspicion. But it
isn't, for during the political campaign
OF last year he consorted with the sup
porters OF Aoyt, also Wilkes-Barre

ton of Luzerne county met last week,
and one o. the nominations then to be
made was that OF Presidential Judge.

successful, but he was defeated by VIM.

will stab his party by refusing to sup.

Voters must be assessed two months

Voters must have paid State OF
County tax one month preceding the
election, that is, on or before Saturday

MR. GLOVERS REPORT

The New York Star, in speaking OF
the report of Mr. Glover which We
published last week, remarks
sMr. Glover will hardly trouble him.
self to notice the angry impudence Of
public servants whose conduct II be-
came his Committees duty to expose.
To do so would waste his time without
adding force to the exposure. The
report gives the facts the public can
Judge. Edward Mcpherson, late Chief
of the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing, finding that his effort to ignore
the Glover report would not satisfy the
country, published last week s'A' col
umns Of editorial in attempted seli-vin'
dication. He admits and corroborates
the statements OF facts made by the
report, but seeks TO break their force
by unsupported denials fittings which
the report does not state, and by per
verting what il does state; and tries
to divert attention from the facts by
i'll tempered and pertinent efforto 10
provoke Mr.. Glover into a personal
controversy with him, which, we
venture to predict, he will find that
gentleman too wise to enter on. BY
taking this course Mcpherson coniesses
the truth of the reports statements
about his bureau and himself In view
OF the wrath he displays his professions
OF Indifference TO the report are laugh
able, especially as he complains bitter.
ly of Misrepresentation Mcpherson
has only himself to thank if his shame
full editorial assaults on the Glover
Committee provoked closer scrutiny
of his official acts than would otherwise
have been made
Col. Mcclure, of the Philadelphia
Times, in abiding to this same report
at length, closes his remarks thus:
"But for Glover's persistence--the
persistence OF fanatic on this subject, ii
you please, but OF man whose honesty
and ability as an instigator is unim-
peached--the report would never have
left the pigeon-holc to which it was
consigned on the adjournment of the
last Congress. Its developments are
astounding, in part incredible, but as
politics il is the astounding and incred.
ible that is true. They came to us
under the oaths of witnesses and Con
gressmen, and they cannot be set
aside by denials or abusive words.
When Congress shall come together
again the people will expect that these
matters shall be thoroughly sifted.
Meanwhile the leaven is working in
the public mind"
