LOVELY INSIDE.


The editor of the Altoona Sun lets
in some light on the workings of the
the late Grcenbach Convention, which
met in that city, and nominated Mr..
Sutton for State Treasurer The Sun
man, who speaks from personal knowl-
edge, says;
"Peter Sutton, the Greenback nom.
ineei eiorState Treasurer, was nominated
on the supposition that he was a farm.
er. II turns out that be is and always
has been merchant, and never held
a plow or "cut swathe" in his life.
His nomination was secured through
Frank Smith. A natural inquiry came
in, who is Frank Smith The question
is easily answered. He is a son Of ex-
Sheriff Smith of Indiana county, and
brother of Samuel A. Smith OF the
Indiana Messenger, the Republican or.
gan of Indiana county. Frank Smith
publishes the Nationd, a greenback
paper. 1t is issued from the Messenger
office, with the Messenger type, and
printed on the Messenger press. 1t is
run to hold the patronage and sub
scriptions of the Greenback wing OF
the Republican party in Indiana
county, and merging of the National
into the Messenger, or of the Messenger
into the National, depends upon which
party goes down. The Smiths run
the two papers on the principle of
head | win, tail you LOSE
"The whole machinery Of tho Ma.
tional party Of Pennsylvania is in the
hands OF the Republican party. The
nomination OF Judge Sutton means
this, and the selection OF Peter Herdics
man Watson means than no sort of
will be left untricd to secure
the votes of Democratic Greenbackers,
while the Republicans will vote their
old party"

side of the river TO cross over to the
scene OF tho terrible accident, they dis.
covered sbapeless mass OF mangled
human flesh floating near the shore,
which was only part Of the trunk

which they recovered. Undoubtedly
this was all that remained OF Ryan.
Whether his legs were preserved as
were those OF Keith aud Roncoroni, is
uncertain. If they were they became
detached from the body and are yet in

he was intelligent and could speak six
different languages, among them the
English, but this, to use his own words,

four children survive him. His re-

SOMETHING WRoNa.-Thc man who
demands that the silver five, ten, TWEEN.
ty-fve and fifty cent pieces be cancel
ed by the Government, and shin. .plas.
ters substituted in their stead, must be
demented, or he has some private in.
torest in the manufacture Of paper and
the running of printing Offices. To be
consistent, he should denounce the
raising Of wheat and corn, and advo.
cate the exclusive cultivation of rye
and buckwheat, so as to make the
country prosperous. We presume that
the same man will soon dream that he
had his dinner, and refuse to be seated
at table covered with plenty. As q
reasonable being, the straightout
Greenbacker is failure.

The CAMERoNs. s.-We often hear sen.
timental Radicals growl and denounce
the wicked conduct of the Cameron
family in the party. 1t seems that
the Grant "boom," which was so lively
last winter, is dying out because Of
new combinations. An exchange puts
it in this plausible shape: "Don Cam
eron, son OF Simon, is accused OF hav-
ing desire to give his wifes uncle,
the Hon. John Sherman, of Ohio, Sec
retary of the Treasury of the United
Suites by the favor of Rutherford b.
Hayes, made President by the Elec-
toral Commission, the vote of the Penn.

lican Convention. This is said 10 be
intended as bride gift, as Don holds
the reins Of the bride that directs the
Republican party in Pennsylvania, the
bit Of which is in the mouth of every
stalwart in the State. No Jehu in the
country handles ribbons today that
are more readily obcyed than are the
reins of the Republican party in Penn
sylvania, in the grasp of Don Cameron.

the vote of Pennsylvania in the next

man will have II. Mark that now"

OFFICIAL DlsoBEDIENcE.

Contrary to Hayes official procla-
nation prohibiting officials from par.
ticipating IN campaigns, John Sher-
man has gone to Maine for tho pur-
pose of helping Blaine TO repair his
fences in that State. Such hagrant
disobedience seems incredible, but it ia
true. The Washington Posi-, in speak
ing of Sherman's raid into the pine
tree State, says "The most material
points of Mr.. Sherman's Portland
speech have been anticipated and COM
mented on by the Post. The entire
effort was in type somc days ago, and
synopsis was given TO some of the
New York journals. We have not,
however, alluded to what Mr.. Sher-
man says on the subject Of States
rights and the recent action of Con.
grcss. On these points he is in har-
mony with Mr.. Hayes veto m Messages,
and he waves the bloody shirt with
the zeal of Chandler. Mr.. Sherman
charges that the South was united by
violence, terror, and fraud, and by
crimes that disgrace our civilization.
But Mr.. Sherman knows that the uni
fication Of the South was effected by
Radical oppression, by thieving carpet
bag and negro governments, backed
by the entire Radical party OF the
United States and by the Federal Gov
ernment. He knows that the instinct
OF selfdefencc compelled the white
manhood Of the South to sink all minor
differences of opinion and combine to
shake off insupportable oppression and
save the little remnant of their vanish.
ing property from the rapacious hand
OF the spoiler. All this is well known
to Mr.. Sherman when he utters the
false and slanderous charge that we
have quoted. Mr.. Sherman artfully
confounds the dead theory of secession
"a matter that was forever settled by
the WARMTH the Democratic doc.
trine of States rights, the Constitu-
tional doctrine that oil rights not sur
rendered by the States are still retain.
ed by them and their people. We can
safely trust the good sense Of the peo.
pie to detect his fallacy, and we are
confident that in New England, the
headquarters of States rights, Mr.
Sherman will make nothing by advo'
eating the Capitalization of power in
the General Government New En-
gland is as jealous for States rights
today as she was when the Hartford
Convention was held. She is, also,
much nearer right now than she was
then. As tc Mr.. Sherman's declara.
tion that the laws, whose repeal was
attempted by Congress, were enacted
in the interest of pure elections, it is
too absurd to be worthy of serious no
tice. There is no intelligent man, of
any party, who is Ignorant of the fact
that the Radical election laws were
enacted in order to keep that party in
power by giving the Republicans spe-
cial advantages and facilities. Mr..
Sherman will not find, even in the
wilds of Aroostook, a Maine communi-
ty who will believe that an Admins
tration, born in fraud, is the special
and peculiar champion Of honesty
either in finances or elections"

THAT SILENT BIsnoP.-- Gil Haven
is one of the noisiest and most preten.
tious of all the Bishops Of the Metho-
dist denomination. His sermons, as a
general thing, are Radical stump
speeches, particularly in the interest
of the negro race. The race TO which
he processes to belong, and its interests
are Of secondary character with him.
A number of colored brethren--minis-
ters of the Gospel--and belonging to
the same church that the Bishop does,
and believing him to be an honest man,
ee q committee, waited upon tho said
Haven and inquired of hun, whether
he did not think it was about time for
one Of their race to be elevated to the
post of Bishop? This was poser.
The committee continued remarking,
that members of the negro race had
been made into Senators, Congressman,
and, in fact, nearly everything except
a Methodist Bishop. That bench was
all white, and they request that at
least one of their brethren be elevated
to that high position. The Bishop has
not delivered himself on the subject
yet; but on the 4th of July the good
man said; "Grant knocks the socks
off of Napoleon as General, and beats
Washington higher'n kite as a patri-
ot." And the colored committee went
away musing.

THE GREAT REFORMER !

The larceny Of the Presidency by
Hayes and his confederatcs is not the
only act that should render him odious
in the minds of all honest people. His
conduct in Office has been particularly
odious, because of his professions as a
reformer, the hollowness of which is
now being exemplided in the levy of a
tax upon the department clerks at
Washington to be used in the Foster
campaign in Ohio. 1t is stated on
creditable authority that already more
than $4,000 has been raised in this
way. 1t is called voluntary con-
tributions,' but those who dare defy
the "bleed," find out shortly thereafter
that the decapitating axe has sent
their clerical heads into tho basket. A
few examples Of this kind spread n
panic in the departments and now
none demur, when the striker comes
round, to giving their pound of flesh.
In the light of such action the follow.
from His Fiaudulency is refreshing
reading;
