A BLACK CHAPTER.

Another chapter in the annals of the
Hayes administration is opened to-day
10y the state ment of CaSanave, a mem
Der of the infamous Louisiana Return
ing Board. Casanave, although a col
ored man, is the member of the board
and is the only one who neither before
nor since tie counting IN process has
made living Of politics. lie was a
well to do undertaken, and it was hop
ed when he was appointed that he
would give mild flavor Of respectable
ity to board otherwise composed Of
two polite ians and a professional gam
bier, all Of whom were notoriously ''on
the make" CaSanave was the cat with
whose paws they proposed to pull the
chestnuts out Of the fire, and only late
ly has he bugun to see how badly his
paws were burned. While Anderson,
with his son, father-in- law, brother-in.
law and coterie of friends, have been
drawing $i5, 600 year, Wells and FAM
lily Including his father, who must be
a hundred years old) about $4,000 a
year, end Keuner and family about So
600 year from the government on ac-
count of their political services in the
Presidential election of 1876, poor Cas-
anave retarned to his coffin making to
find the business gone to the mischief,
and then, to crown all, he was required
to foot the bills for keeping himself and
associates out of the Penitentiary,
where they belonged. The details of
this story are told in his pleasant way
in our Washington dispatches, but the
worst refers to his adventures in thu
effort to induce the administration to
take the burden Of debt of his shoul-
ders. Casanaye reasoned as most men
would, that the men who were enjoying
the spolls of tie crime that he had
committed had an interest even greater
than his own in covering up the dirty
work done in their behalf. To a GER
tain extent the admin istIation seems
to baYe shared this view. The Presi-
dent received him courteously and pas
sed him on; McCrary said he would
pay the whole amount himself, but lie
wasn't able and Sherman actually
planked down the muniicent sum of
hundred dollars. When Casanave
pressed them further they were even
more liberal, and finally, through the
kind Offices of some of the legal gentle
men who represented Mr.. Hayes before
the Electoral Commission, seventeen
hundred and fifty dollars were raised.
They drew the line at that amount
however, and hence Casanave shakes
the dust Of his feet from the Capital,
covering tile administration with pre-
family and half inclined to turn States
evidence. 1t is an entertaining story,
and still most disgraceful to those who
figure in it from the highest and thu
lowest. And the end is not yet.-Phil-
adelphsa Times.

The Harvest Eome Picnic.

The Harvest Home Picnic OF Union
county last Thursday came off in good
style and it was really very creditable
affair of its kind, all things considered.
True there was not such great out
pouring from Centre county as had
been expected, bus it must be consider
ed that the grand demonstration Of two
years ago exceeded and was an eXcep
tion to all rule An excursion Of about
$500 people, tilling four trains Of ten
cars each as We then hal, is indeed Il
rare thing, even in The most thickly
settled parts of the state. The novelty
of a ride on the rdH together with the
nominal fare of only nifty ceuts for the
round trip, is what brought out the
people of Penns and Brush valleys in
such large numbers. This year the
fare was dollar, with times consider.
ably tighter, locally, than two years ago
and yet we had over 800 excursionists
from Coburn ard Spring Mills. This
number was largely augmented all the
way down through Union county, and
wien the train reached the grounds
there must have been at least 100 peo.
pie on it.
Union county had turnod out en-
masSe. The people did themselves
mu5h honor by the way in which they
participated in their Harvest Home.
We feel sure tnat Uaion county had as
many people present as on the memoir
able occasion of two Years ago.
The amdsements and plays incident
to such gatherings were not wanting,
and the young folks generally had a
good time of it at dancing, quoting,
croquet, and similar enjoyments. The
| best of humor prevailed aud the day
passed off very pleasantly and without
the slightest accident or disturbance.
At O'Clock our train left for home
where we arrived at about ! in the eye.
ming. The whole affair was decidedly
nice.

with at least six hours of pleasure and
leisure while there Truly, our little
whip lash of rail road is S0methinq.

A veteran editor of New York State
Co. Supt

A veteran editor of New York State,
retiring from the chair, gave few par
ting words to his readers, not forget
ting, at the same time, to insert this
wholesome advice: "a country news
paper needs friends, and cannot afford
to have enemies. Don't get mad if
something fails to suit you, ana stop
your patronage. Don't prattle all over the
village about the shortcomings of the
editor-co-operate with him. Help
him to get the news aud see that he
has his share of your money to do bus
iuess with. Don't loaf al ound his Office
and steal his time. D0n't give him too
much good advice. He knows more a.
bout his business, probably, than you
do. Help, but don't hinder. ."-Ex.

Important to Voters.

The next election in PENNSYLVANIA
will be held on Tuesday, the 4th of No
vember.
Voters must be assessed two mon tbs
preceding the election, that is, on or
before Thursday, September 4th.
Voters must have paid a state or
county tax one month preceding the e.
lection, that is, On or before Saturday,
October 4th.
Members ofDemocratic state, county
and city committees should see to it
that every voter of our party has COM
piled with the law.
Failure to pay tax in season deprives
the voter of the privilege of suffrage.
An elector can swear in his vote,
though he be not assessed, but the
neglect may cause him much trou-
bic.

Ex-COngressman Jere Haralson, col
ored, on the negro migration fever in
the Baltimore Gazette: II am opposed
to my race leaving the South. 1t is the
proper place for colored man. 1t is the
land of his nativity, and the m lid eli
mate of the South is especially adapted to
bis present impoverished and ignorant
condition. Our race in the South are
poor and haven't the money to buy sufi-
Gent clothing and fuel to protect them
against the cold and rigorous climate
Of the Northwest. The negro will not
thrive in country where there is no
woods or timber. Even in the South
there is plenty of timber and fuel. A
colored man can go into the woods, cut
down a few poles, notch him up log
cabin, daub the cracks with mud, and
in week he is as comfortable as
beaver"

How elections are carried in
New England.

New England with all her boasted
devotion to decorum in politics and
morality in all things, has reason to
blush for the disclosures that have been
made us to the way elections are con-
Quoted in Rhode Island and MasSachu-
SettS, particularly in the former State
of vaunted integrity. At Newport, on
Saturday, the Republican politicians
made confessions before the Butler
committee which we would be glad to
accept as the first fruits Of repentance,
but which, from the cheery manner ia
which the dirty truth was told, lead to
the fear that they rather glory in their
shame. Rarely in this country has the
ballot-boX been SO reckleSsly polluted
by money. One man went sc far rs to
say that the man who had not seen
money used ut all elections III Rhode
Island must be blind, and for his part
he considered it legitimate. lie had
never sold his vote, but only the fear of
eliminating himself prevented his say
ing whether he had bought any. Other
witnesses described the ingenious de-
vices by which tho voters were paid of
without the discovery of the payee by
the payer. In some cases checks are
given out to voters, who upon present
ing them in dark hall or in rum shops
received the money, and a fellow who
had actually been candidate for Gov
vernon, although not much of candi,
date, confessed to receiving ten dollars
in an envelope handed down to HIM
through drop-d0or as the price of his
vote. No comment can increase the
force of these facts in exciting indigna
ton. DiSfranchisement would be 6
light penalty for the men, whether gen.
erals or plain citizons, who acquire of
flee by such means. Hereafter Rhode
Island ought to take back seat and
her representatives hold their tongues.
