THE BIRD Has FLOWN Last
night the prisoner Kelly, who has
been held in this city for trial
for burglary at ChamIeys hotel
some two weeks ago, broke out Of
the colaboos and made good bis
escape. The paddock on the inside
door was broken successfully, which
was accomplished, it is supposed,
with the assistance Of leg OF the
stove. i hen the outer door was
opened by table knife, which he
had serrated for the purpose lie
was to have been sent to the county
Jail to-day and held for trial in the
circuit court, but haTing acquitted
himself the case is indiiiiaately
postponed. One yesterday Kelly
was identified by Judge Cotbren os
the fellow h. sentenced to Waupon
in the Lafay cite County Court some
time ago. There are several rumors
OF his breaking from jails il differ
ent parts Of tie state. He is un-
questiouably an expert in bad deeds,
and for the safety Of the community
and people gen erally, We hope that
Justice will catch him by the fore
lock in the near future.

BELLEFONTE, Pa. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, $780,

judges of our court Of last resort have
been derelict in the discharge of their
high and responsible trusts, but the
request is unheeded and Mr.. Gowen
shields himself behind an icy wall of
impenetrable reserve.
The dispassionate judgment of all
men will be that he has been hoist
by his own petard. In his endeavor
to strike n deadly blow at one of the
venerated institutions of the people he
has simply written himself down ca
lumniator. AS to the IEatchmdn's
charge that the eases affecting the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company are
partially decided by the Supreme
Court, it is totally unfounded and abb
solutely lacks every merit, save that of
mendacity. If corrupting influences
have ran riot through the halls of leg
isiatlon III the past, and the statute
books of the Commonwealth stained by
the polluting touch of the briber, it is
not the fault of our courts. They
pass upon the laws as they come fresh
from the hands of the peoples repre-
sentatives, and if they prove unfaithful
and succumb to the seductive charms
of the lobby, it is only matter of re-
gret, not of redress, to unprejudiced
courts. The moral grandeur Of the
upright judge is the sublimest thing in
nature and will so remain through all
time. If the Watchman and President
Gowen wish to impair his usefulness
they must adduce more potent reasons
than any they have yet given to the
world. They have simply said to the
courts, in chorus,
II do not like thee, DR.. Pell
The reason why cannot tell
Butt do not like thee, DR.. Pcll."

THE Senate Committee investigating
the causes of the negro exodus from
North Carolina has established beyond
dispute the political character of the
movement. That its only object was
i locate in the State of Indiana suf-
i ient number of colored men as Re-
pShlican voters TO overcome the Dem
ocratic majority in that State and at
the same time to so lessen the popu-
lation of the State from which they
were drawn as to affect the result of the
census about to be taken. These facts
have come out in the testimony, most
ly BY Republican witnesses. The heart
lessness and brutality of the political
movement has also been made appar =
ent in the testimony, by the cruel neg
lect with which the poor unfortunatcs
are treated on their arrival at the
points to which they were sent under
false promises of good wages and com.
Portable homes. Instead of finding
employment and homes, it appears
they were huddled together in little
shanties and abandoned huts and left
without even food 10 eat except as
they could beg it from door to door,
to keep them from actual starvation.
One witness, the corporation under
taker of indianapolis, testified that he
had buried large number of these
blacks as paupers at So head, who
died from exposure and the effects of
the change of climate. These poor
creatures are thus paying dearly for
their excessive credulity in allowing
themselves TO be deluded from com.
Portable homes to serve the ends Of
heartl6s radical politicians. The
great Republican party may yet have
cause to regret that, in their eagerness
to override the legitimate preponder-
ance of popular sentiment, they have
engaged in and encouraged a very
foolish and very wicked enterprise.

Il DO not like thee. DR.. Pell:
The reason why I cannot tell.
Butt DO not like thee, DR.. Rell.

Mr.. JoHS +. PolNDExTER is de-
serving of all the pity we may have
lying around loose. He was guilty of
a slight irregularity down in good old
Virginia and as a consequence has, re-
tired to the classic shades of the PEN
itentiary for season. But John is a
little higher toned than the ordinary
run of guests usually entertained at
the expense of the State, and he OBJ
jects to the cat of the regulation dress.
He don't think the stripes become his
peculiar style OF beauty and a bill has
be en- introduced in the Senate exempt
ing him from wearing the garb of
convict. We hope it will pass. The
spectacle of John in striped suit
with a ball and chain attachment,
would be narrowing in the extreme,
and then when we contemplate the
tritling fault committed by John with
the high sounding patronymic, we are
amazed that any one should have
thought of subjecting this wrongcd
and badly-used man to the indignity
of wearing a striped suit. He merely
cOwhided a man and then killed him,
but the other Gellow was only clerk
in a shoe store, and had used little
more empressment than was absolutely
necessary in fitting pair of shoes on
the neat foot and plastic ankle of
Johns girl and hence the Unpleasant
ness. BY all means allow John to be
clad in the habiliments of the Ameri-
can gentleman, not omitting the pistol
pocket in his pantaloons.

If moiety of truth is to be credi.
ted to the friends of Grant and Sher-
man when speaking Of these rival as
pirants for the Presidency, neither are
fit persons to be entrusted with the adj
ministration of the affairs of the Gov
ernment, and the people will do well
to give both n wide berth When
rOgues fall out their ordinations of
each other will enable honest people to
estimate very correctly the true char
acter of each. But the rule did not
require to have this practical realiza-
ton to enlighten the country as to the
character of these men. Facts were
abundant, furnished by the public acts
of the parties themselves. The one
has been tried in the Presidential Of
flee, and by debauchery of administra-
ton, profigacy and tyranny, made a
disgraceful failure. The other has
proven himself a corrupt and dishon-
est trickster, totally Indifferent to
honor, OF the means he adopts to effect
personal or political ends. This phase
of character had ample attestation at
New Orleans in 1876, when Mr.. Sher-
man engineered the great wrong which
placed Fraud in the Presidential Of
fee instead of the man duly elected by
the people; and it was further mani
tested when, with the aid of this fraud,
he pensioned himself and all the base
instruments used in commission of the
great crime, upon the Treasury of the
country, to say nothing about his ope-
rations with favorite National Banks,
by which he enriches himself at the
expense of the public.

The City new boot and shoe store, To-
Gated in the old Conrad House, on Allie
gheny street, has commenced business in
the right direction, vastly TO the advan-
tage of the consumer. The business is
conducted entirely on the cash principle Of
small profits and quick returns. In every
possible way expenses have been curtailed.
Neither dsy-book or ledger is kept and
hence there is no necessity for a book
keeper. In view of this cash system the
goods have been bought at bottom prices,
which enables the proPrietors to sell them
twenty-five per cent lower than other
parties dealing on the credit system of
preft and loss. 1t would be advisable for
all parties desiring to purchase boots or
shoes 10 call and examine these goods and
be convinced that it Is the place TO spend
cash 10 advantage.

THE Senate has administered a
wholesome rebuke to the de (aetO Pres
ident for his partisan nominations of
census supervisors for Ohio, by reject
ing the whole batch, eight 10 all. 1t
was understood, and the law so pro-
vided, that the census supervisors and
enumerators were not to be partisan
appointments, but.Mr. Hayes under
took TO repudiate this wholesome and
proper understanding, by the appoint
ment of eight Of his most Objectionable
stalwart partisans for his own State,
against the protest of its Senators. He
therefore had the list returned on his
hands for revision, and, it Is to be
hoped for his honest reflection, if he is
