The DEAD JURIsT.-Hon. Warren
J. Woodward, Justice of the Supreme
Court of this State, died at Hamden,
New York, Tuesday evening, 23d ult.
He had been in delicate health for q
considerable time, and for q few months
previous TO his death his friends real
lied that there was but little hope Of
his recovery. Judge Woodward read
law in the Office of his uncle, the late
George W. Woodward, at Wilkes. Barre,
and after his admission, he practiced
there for fifteen years, and was re-
garded as the leading lawyer at that
bar. Governor Pollock, in 1856, ap-
pointed him President Judge of the
district composed Of the counties OF
Columbia and Montour. He was elcc-
ted President Judge of the Berks coun-
ty district in 1866, and from that time
he resided in the city of Reading He
was the Democratic candidate for
Judge OF the Supreme Court in 1874
and was elected. Although his tel m
of service on the Supreme Bench was
comparatively short, he sustained the
reputation which he had previously
earned, of being an able, upright jurist
Gov. Hoyt will, of course, appoint some
stalwart Radical to fill the vacancy
The appointee will hold his seat unit
the 1st of January, 1881, at which
time the Democrats will fill the vacan
cy by an election IN 1880.

THE DIPFERESoE.-In the days when
giant statesmen governed, under the
Federal and Wing dynasties, Senators
did not think as Senators Blaine and
Conkling do at the present time, res
pecting the employment of the regular
army as a civil police. Hon. William
II. Seward in 1856 declared that "Cipil
liberty and standing army for the pur-
poses of ciuil police hare neuer yet stood
together, and aerer can stand together
If am to choose between upholding

cannot be maintained without q stand.
ing army, or relinqulshing the laws
themselves, give up the laws at once,
by whomsoever they are made and by
whatever authority; for either our
system of government is radically
wrong, or such laws are unjust, une
quail, and pernicous.' Blaine and
Conkling, in comparison with Clay and
Seward, come about as near being
statesmen as old Nick does to being Q
Saint.

Y
people. 1t was by such methods, as
we'll as by bold, unblushing bribery,
the Treasury Ring OF Kcmblc and
Mackey, they being the leading dlrec'
tors, was maintained and pcrpetuated.
Its hold on the politics Of the State
was firm and sweeping, but icariully
demoralizing 1t controlled the Re
publican party in Convention and Leg
stature nominated and defeated can
didates; had a powerful Harrisburg
lobby at its beck and nod, and the Re-
publican press pensioned and corrupt
sd. J, was master Of the State.
1t is this Treasury Ring that the
Republican managers aud jobbers pro
pose to reinstate in power at Harris
burg. There has been an interregnum
of honesty and square dealing for
couple of years. But the Ring is hun
cry for its old power and its old gains.
The plan Of operations was laid down
at the Republican State Convention,
and the first step was the nomination,
under the auspices of Cameron, Quay,
Kemble & Co, of Mr.. Butler, of Ches-
ter county, for State Treasurer. Kem-
bic, who promoted this nomination,
was a leading spirit of the Treasury
combination when Mr.. Mackey was at
IFS head as well as during his own
term as State Treasurer, when he
amassed immense wealth on trifing
salary. Butler is the chosen one of
the Ring. He is allied with the legis-
lative corruptionists. He moved in
the Republican caucus that Cameron 5
nomination for the United States Sen
ate should be made unanimous, thus
ignoring and disregarding the honest
sentiment OF the Republicans OF Ches.
Ter county. He voted against the ex-
pulsion from the Legislature Of the
convicted briber and lobbyist, Petroff.

Obviously, in selecting Mr.. Butler as
their candidate for State Treasurer
the Treasury Ring knew what it wa.
about 1t picked out reliable mar
for the work proposed.
We turn from this dangerous anC
alarming record OF the Republican can
didate for State Treasurer, which
clearly shows his connection with th,
worst elements Of the Republican party
to the Democratic nominee, Mr.. Barr
and we have every assurance that unde
his administration of the State TREAS

rigidly construed and implicitly obey

or stock gambling with the people
money. There will be no Treasur,
Rings. The books of the office will b

cal and financial spectators. Mr.. Bar
is pledged by the resolutions OF tn

= his own record and declarations, b

one guarantee possible to the peopl
of Pennsylvania that the old Treasur
Ring will not be revived in all it

most important home issue on whic

LOOK A LITTLE oUrr


The surface signs indicate that the
Radicals and Greenbackers could not
agree upon the same ticket for county
offices, although they had held several
caucusses with view TO putting. y
Joint ticket in the field.
We suspect that thcpresent arrange.
ment is blind, and that about ten
days before tho election, Antcs, the
Radical candidate for Sheriff, will be
hauled of, and Hewitt, the Greenback
candidate, settled upon, or perhaps the
reverse. Both are Radicals and il
would not make much difference which
one is suppressed.
Gordon, for District Attorney, is al
ready united upon. For Jury Com
missioner, the Grecnbackers nominated
+. X. Smith, and the Radicals W. r
Brown. The former is Democrat
and the latter Radical. Hence the
Democatic Greenbacker will be asked
to vote for Rad. for Sheriff and Dis
trict Attorney, while the Radical will
be call upon to vote for Smith for Jury
Commissioner. In other words; Th
Democratic Greenbacker must TAX
two pills-vote Tor n Radical fol Shcrii
and District Attorney-while the Rad
ical voter only takes one pill, and vote
for Smith, a Democrat, for Jury Com
missioner. Ifthere is any consolatio
in this arrangement for Democrat
Greenbaoker, we are unable to see tn
point.

blank by five or six witnesses, and
which resulted in the jury bringing in
Gully, the defendant, mot guilty The
verdict may have been righteous one
or 1t may have not but it was the de.
cision of the jury composed Of about
equal numbers Of white and black men,
and they alono are answerable. There
is no dispute that the trial was a fair
one so far as the Court was concerned.
Then why hold the whole people OF
that section answerable for the acts Of
the jury3 Has there not been many
trials in the North where juries have
brought In verdlcts which did not
agree with the opinions held by vari.
Gus people, as to the case of Stokes,
for the murder of Fisk. Yet no one
thought Of holding the whole north re.
sponsiblc for the pct Of tho jury in that
case, neither shonld the people Of the
South be held responsible for the acts
Of the jury who brought in Gully moi

thought Of doing so had not the Radi.
