FOUR MURDERERS TO Be
HANGED.
Friday, November 18th, the
Day fixed for the Execu-
tiOn of the Raber
MurdererS.

Yesterday morning transcript Of
the papers Of the trial Of the six men
who were recently btfore the Lebanon
county court for the murder of Joseph
Raber, near lndiantown, Lebanon Co. =,
In September last, was received at {
state department. The murdtrers'
names are CHARLES Drews, the man
who made confession on Sunday to
having been hired to murder old Mr..
Raber Frank Stichler, who threw the
old man into the creek aud kept his
head down till he was dead, and Josiah
Bummal and Israel Brandt. 1t is
thought that 7 persons were concerned
in the murder-fOuT of Brandt
the ringleader Of the foul plot, and
lummel, Wise and Zichman, held an
insurance policy on Mr.. RA5er's life
for $4,000.
In WiSe's case sentence has been de
ferred on account Of important revela
tionS he has made to the common.
wealth, admitting that he WAS mixed
up IN the original plot to kin old Mr.
Raber, yet insisting that he had given
up the idea altogether. Zichman is to
have new trial. The seventh party
has not yet been taken into custo-
dY.
The governor has fixed Friday, the
nth day of November, as the day on
which the four criminals ABOVE ! ued
Shall be executed. Zichman has been
granted new trial. The cases of
Wise aud Zichman will probably bt
taken to the board of pardons. -Hor-

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
The Fraudulent Presidents In
terpretation of His Order
to Federal Office
holders.

WASHING TON, Sept. 5.-Mr. r. Z.
Hayes has given the following deScrip-
ton of the meaning of his civil service
reform order. In an interview Oh the
subject OF C0rnell'S nomination, after
amicably expressing the hope that
Cornell will be elected, Hayes says:
1.-The assertions are also made that
Eice-PreSident Wheeler's attendance
at the Convention as delegate was as
a representative of the administration,
and that his presence was a violation
OF civil service orders. The first asser-
tion is untrue in every respect. The
Administration took no part in the
campaign, either directly or indirectly.
Mr.. Wheeler represented no more than
any other delegate to the Convention.
lie may have been more Influential than
many of them, but that influence was
individual. tie did not violate the ci-
VII service order as that order is proper
ly construed. There is only one way
IN which fair-minded men can con-
strue that order that is, decently, it
is not intended to interfere with the
politi al opinions or political actions of
any oiliceholder, so long as those opin-
ions and actions are expressed and car
ried out decently. AS a citizen Mr..
Wheeler attended the Convention and
presided over it as he had a perfect
right to do. Ills presence meant 10
more than that of any other delegate
present. There would have been an
apt Illustration Of the construction to
be on the order if Gen. Merritt, Collec-
tor Of New York, had taken promi-
nent part in the Convention or presided
overit. Such action on his part would
have shown that, though Collector he
was mere politician, and his subordl-
mates would act accordingly, of course
at his dictation. The one represented
himself the other would have repre-
sented the Government service.''

The Truth Well Told.

The plain, unvarnised truth stands
out boldly in evidence that some of our
profeSSedly best men who are promi-
nent manufacturers practically forbid
their employees from exercising the
right of suffrage free flom interference.
1t is r diSgraceful state of affairs, but
we are forced to the admission that the
Federal supervisors were employed not
10 keep peace at the polls, but to keep
anti Republican voters away; that
these supervisors, Instead of prevent
ing fraud, encourage it by aiding to
persecute all opposed to the Republican
candidates. 1t iS a fact developed by
Senator Wallace's COMMITTEES that no
matter wh9 offered Republican ballot
it was accepted and no questions ask
ed whereas some Of the Vest men, So
cially and morally, and all others who
were at all active in opposition to the
Republican party, were carefully watch
ed, and their every move dogged by
paid spoilers.

BANGOR, September 81 A. NJ
The indications at this hour are that
the Republicans have carried both Gov
ernor and Legislature. The total vote
will probably reach 5000, of which
Davis will have 10000, Smith $4,000
and Garcelon $4,000, giving Il Republi-
can majority of 1000. The Republicans
will probably have both branches of the

The fact that the west is han yes ting
extraordinary crops this year is strik =
ingly Illustrated by the amount of grain
receipts at Buffalo during the month of
August. Although the record for that
month in 1873 was very heavy, the re-
ceipts for August this year exceeded it
by nearly million bushels, the aggre-
gate footing up l2,427,644 bushels.
This is one sign of the country's pros
perity. Another, equally important, is
the Improvement in business at all the
commercial centres. A reporter of the
New York World, who has just inter
view I'd leading merchants in different
lines of dry goods, was told the same
story everywhere. The demand is
stronger than it has been bef f"re since
the panic, buyers are able and ready to
pay for their goods and a general feel
ing Of confidence pervades all classes.
Everything goes to show that the busi-
ness of the country during the just open
ed autumn will largely exceed that of
any previous season since 1873.

the murder Of Mr.. Chisolm and his
daughter is proceeding in the Kemper
county court in quiet and orderly
manner, and in the presence of five
hundred citizens, mostly white, may be
pronounced the greatest southreu out.

people at this time, on the eve of an
election in Maine, will perYersely allow
the course Of justice to pursue the even
tenor of its way, when Mr.. Stewart l..
Woodfold went down there for the
purpose of preventing such result is
simply ineXplicable. y first class row
in the court house, supplemented by u
murder or two, might prove potent
enough to carry the Pine Tree state
back into the grasp Of Blaine, and the
failure to give the country such an
entertainment when the Republicans
had their programme already prepared
for it is too reprehensible to think
about, from stalwart standpoint.
The exac: sta,e Of affairs, it is true,
reflects credit on the people Of Misis

y correspondent from Washington
to the New York Herald gives the in
formation that several prominent mem
bers of congress propose to create a
new military Office, to be called cap
tain-geDeralcy", for Gen. Grants spe-
cial benefit, "as a recognition FOR his
polite Il services in behalf OF the Un-
ion." The idea OF rewIrling Grant
for his political services in behalf ot the
Union must strike every fair minded
man as supremacy ridiculous ana alb
suyd. While Grants military services,
although greatly over-rated by u hero
worshipping people, is of some account,
his political services were all in behalf
Of himself, his friends and hangers on.
AS President Gen. Grant was deci-
ded and pronounced failure. Ills ad-
ministration will be known III history
as the period of corruption, and the
idea to reward him for his political ser
vices in behalf of the Ulion won't take
kindly with the American people.
