proper and just punishment of any
State officer who shall wIllfnlly mis-.
count the ballots, or make false re
turn thereof, or certify that any person
has been chosen an elector who is
known not TO have received a majority
of the votes actually cast.
All persons, whether citizens OF the
State or not, who encourage, aid or
abet such fraudulent practices, before
or after tho fact, should be held us in
pari delectu with the principal crimi-
nails, and any Federal officer who in
sists upon casting as veto what he

should be punished asa felon. Let
this be extended TO members of Con-
gress, but without abusing their con-
stitutional freedom of debate. II the
President or any head of a department
shall appoint to, or keep in office, a
person known to have been guilty OF
such election frauds, he should bc deem

There is yet another kind Of corrup-
tion, which, of late years, has visibly
increased, is increasing, and ought to
be wholly abolished we mean the
practice OF raising money for election
purposes by assessments on tho salaries
of ofiicehoders. By this device enor-
nous sums are periodically drawn
from the public treasury, not to pay
the expenses of the Government, but
to manufacture votes for the party in
power. In no other way has the in
fuence of the general Government
been brought in more dangerous con.
flct with the freedom and purity Of
State elections.
We pray your honorable bodies to
stop this by forbidding, under proper
penalties, all solicitations OF public Off
GERS for those purposes and all pay
ments by them.
We are aware that these measures
just and necessary as they are, will
meet with violent opposition from the
foes of honest government, but with
both Houses of Congress and the yet
unknown heart of the people in theil
favor, we cannot believe that they viii
fail, and your petitioners will evel

MARRIAGE OF A WEALTHY WHITE GIRL
OF BEAVER COUNTY TO AN IoSoR.
ANT NEGRO COAL MINER.


The town Of Beaver, which has
turned out more Office holders to the
square inch under Republican admin.
istration than any other point upon
Gods footstoo, has quite sensation.
A young girl, possessed of many per.
sonal charms, belonging to one of the
best families in this part Of the State,
reared in luxury and finely educated,
left her homo of refinement in an
angry mood and married an ignorant
negro coal miner
Annie Moore is the only daughter
and youngest child Of well.to-do
gentleman. Her three brothers occupy
positions of public esteem, two Of them
being talented members of tho Beaver
County Bar, and one an accomplished
Philadelphia physician. The family is
highly connected. She has been a
wayward, thoughtless child for years,
wringing with anguish the hearts oi
her parents by her unreasonable con-
duct. Argument and entreaty were
alike in vain. Her evil course con-
tinued. She had been absent from
homo several days this week, and it Is
commonly reported her brother from
Philadelphia, who was home on visit,
proceeded to administer severe per
sonal chastlsement.
AS early as halfpast five o'clock
Friday morning Mr.. Dawson, County
Treasurer, glanced out of the window
and saw her walking along the pave
ment, and few ieet behind her two
colorcd bloods. He remarked to his
wife, 81 wonder where Annie can be

Clerk of the Commissioners Of Beaver
county, passing by, was called in, and
though not recognizing Miss NJ. a
first sight, witnessed the marriag,
ceremony. Miss NJ. being rather |
brunette, it is possible that even tn,
clergymen knew not of her socia
standing at the time. The younl
couple Immediately returned to Beaver
and made their arrangements 70
housekeeping. They went to wha
is known as the Maratta place; nea
the fair ground, a small house of fou
rooms, which they are to share in com
mon with several blacks. She wen
home for her piano and trunk.
Miss M. for the last three years ha
caused herparents unspcakable anxiet.

she became the mother of a little girl

THE "ROOSTER! DELEGATION

The Legislature has passed its reso.
luton authorizing a committee OF ten
Senators and fifteen Representatives
to meet General Grant at San Fran.
cisco and welcome him back in the
name of the State OF Pennsylvania.
OF course this resolution is of no more
effect than the passage of . similar one
at Radical town meeting, and of no
more significance. On tho whole we
are inclined to think that the Radical
Pennsylvania Legislature are the
proper parties to meet Grant. All
their characteristics are in keeping
with Grants tastes as manifested dur
ing his late administration. There
fore, when he meets the Pennsylvania
"roosters" it will be birds of feather
fiocking together. The Senate's quota
has already been appointed and Speak
or Long of the House is preparing a
list of the House chnnticlaers. We
suggest that he make "Lish" Davis
chairman. What "Lish" don't Know
Of "ways that are dark is scarcely
worth knowing. Neither Belknap
nor Babcock could get away with
their opportunities moro shrewdly
than "Lish." His history is sug.
gestive one. Coming into the House
years ago from a western county he
became Speaker at time when it was
proposed to gridiron the streets OF
Philadelphia by network of railroads
and no man could have run the bill
through the House more cxpeditiously
than "Lish," mainly, no doubt, from
the interest he felt in them, he bccom-
ing heavy stockholder in most of the
roads before the grist had got through
the legislative mill. This transformed
an otherwise seedy lawyer of bare
means and less talent, into an opulcnt
gentleman of leisure. Subsequently
he fell from Cameron grace through
an adverse vote where that Tycoon
was interested, and was, as q punish.
ment, rclegated to the shade of private
life. Latterly, the ban has been taken
off and "Lish," again impecunious
struts his brief hour in the House, the
leader of the "rooster' gang. Hence
ho should be the first selection Of
"cock Of the walk" After him nigh,
be named, Petroff for Lieut., another
"rooster" who a winter or two age
"boomed" with Herdic and was ex
PEELED from the House for corruption
Petroff has an additional claim to bt
placed on the committee, he having
been proved during the present inves
tigation with going 1t $500 better OF
the Pittsburg Riot bill. And the bal
ance of the committee might be mad'
up OF fellows of the same kidney
every one besmirched with lobbying
fraud and corruption. Grant woult
delight to receive such party they
would be old chums over again; leg
islators after his own heart. The U
Pacific will no doubt furnish this vir
tuous caravan with free passes, other
with free liquor and grub out of som,
one else's pocket What high OLE

they will crane their necks, flap theil
