A GOOD MOVE.

At York, Pennsylvania, recently, was
organized Jeffersonian Democratic AS
sociation. We commend the movement
as one worthy of consideration and ad.
option. The following extract, from the
platform of the Association, will be ap'
proved cordially by all true Democrats;
"Its purpose shall be the association Of
JefersOnian Democrats, for the preser.
vatiJn of the Constitution of the United
States, the autonomy of the states, home
rule, freedom of elections; for resistance
to revolutionary changes, tending to con-
solidation or empire; to the election of
any person to the Presidency a third
time; to the presence of regular troops
at the polls; to any appropriation of pub.
lie money to any purpos but the sup~
port OF government; to commercial re
strictions for tn benefit of the few at
the cost of the many; and to class legs
lation, which destroys the natural free.
dom oil trade, and desnoils labor to build
up monopoly. To these ends we invoke
the spirit and reassert the principles of
ThomNs Jefferson, the author of the Dec
laration of pendenCe, and founder
of the Democratic party"
These are political truths to which,
80 far as we understand, embrace the
ideas and purposes of this republic, and
suit the exigencies and the Circumstan,
Ces of the present time. 1t is impossible
either to add anything or take anything
away. We commend them to the care
full consideration Of our readers.

AUDITOR of State Oglevee has raised
an interesting question, by refusing to
issue warrants on the State Treasury in
favor of certain employees of the General
Assembly, on the ground that that body
had provided by law for the payment of
it's employees; that this class of employees
were not provided for by pre- existing
statute; that the General Assembly had
no authority to employ persons after its
adjournment, except those provided for
by law. Attorney General Nash sus-
taine! the Auditor in this, but the Su.
preme Court issued peremptory writ of
mandamus, and claim that these claims,
amounting to $500, had been provided
for in the general appropriation bill that
appropriated SIS, $50 for the payment of
members and employees of the General
Assembly; and, as no appropriation of
moneys was required, resolution of eli.
ther branch of the Legislature was en-
tirely sufficient to authorize payment of
all claims of this kind Exchange.

! RAD WAY our OF TROUBLES.

A BAD WAX OUI Oh IhOObbhS' S'
On Christmas night the President elect
of the Swiss Confederation shot himself
dead. In one week he was to take Of
fee.
This event recalls the astonishing
statement of Col. Dom Piatt in regard
to his intimate friend, the President
elect of the United States. According to
Col. Piatts testimony, there was one
dark hour in Gen. Gar6eld's life when
suicide was actually contemplated by
him. "Life itself seemed so horrible to
him." says Garfeld's friend, THAT es'
cape from it was temptation
At the time to which Col. Platt refers,
Garfield was threatened with exposure,
that meant disgrace, and, as he then be-
ieved, political ruin. He was summon
ed to the witness stand to be put under
oath. He had to choose between con-
fession and a perjured denial. Hesitat'
ing before this alternative, he for awhile
was tempted to self.destruction as the
easiest solution of his troubles.
1t is not known whose influence pre-
vented Gen. Garfield from doing what
the President elect of the Swiss republic
has Just done. If it was his friend Donn
Piatt who persuaded him of the folly and
wickedness of the plan, then Garfield
owes Piatt one of the greatest debts one
man can owe another-N Y. Sun.
