FOrney's Tribute to Dr. Haltlcn.,m.

IfOSFcSS.
Last week was sitting in my bay win
dow when Samuel S. Haldeman, profess
sOr of comparative pbiIology in the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, called in to see me
on his return from 4 scientific convention
at Boston. He was in fine spirits, and had
with him two beautiful specimens of the
weapons and utensils of the Stone Age,
which he showed me with almost boyisl
enthusiasm. We were born in the same
County of Lancaster VIC never had diff
ference. Haldcman was one of the rarest
types of high and fearless scientific cul-
turc. He had Travelled much, and his fear
less honesty and quaint philosophy, his
great industry rs a philosopher, his won
der(ul collection. his wit and humOr, and
his lucid and surprising investigations made
him y celebrity all over the world, and
when Inc went to Europe he was welcomed
as familiar. knew all his blood, and
loved to listen to his strange yet candid
and startling theories. So when he came
to see me last week it was agreed that I
should be his guest if came to speak for
Hancock in his ncighborhOOd. "FOr,
mark you, JOhn,' he said, this soldier
man, Hancock, will bring us all to our
senses and show us the way out of the dirt
and damnation resulting from the civil
war. l. have no great feast to offer you
when you come l have only Lancaster
county hospitality" He went to his home
at Chickies, Lancaster county, and on
Friday last, September 10th, quietly passed
away, aged 6S.

1t would have been anything bat a
change for the better which is not say
ing SO much good of Reyburn, as Ill of
Bum. In the Third district a man of
the uneuphonious name of Quirk de-
feated the present senator, who rejOices
in the nice name of Lamon, which he is
fond of pr0nouncing in French style,
with the accent on the last syllable. We
hardly know whether or no the people
are to be congratulated on this change !;
and this not from any doubt as to La
mons utter vileness and unfitness, but
because we are very doubtful whether
Quirk is any better. Both are SO bad
that it is not easy to pick the worst ;
Quirk ought to be defeated at the polls.
1t will not he creditable to the people of
the district if they choose such man
as senator. How can Philadelphia ex-
pect to have any influence in the state
while sho sends her present style of re-
presentatives to Harrisburg !? That a
good many poor members of the lower
house should be picked up out of
the mud is not surprising /; but that the
large senatorial districts should Ike SO un-
fifty represented, rs they habitually are,
is astonishing. The Office of state sena'
tor is considered in the country as very
respectable, and men of character and
ability are generally chosen to ill it.
We very seldom see such a senator from
Philadelphia. Some means surely needs
to be devised whereby the constituencies
of great cities may be decently repre-
sented.

For several weeks the truly loyal of
Strasburg had been making arrangements
to put up pole in honor Of Credit Mo-

pole lying for some time ut its place of
erection, bills were printed and distributed
announcing the fact that such patriots as
Billy Weaver, Amos ii. Mylin and Prof.
Keller would address the multitude. Reg

was to be the theme. A board was pre-
pared for the pole, having on it Maine $

adds: "a good many Democratic sol

SOUTHERN CLAIMS.

Claims Bus-Besr in 1s7e-.The Attempt
to Revive 1t Now Is silly.
To ihe People Of the United States:
''We understand, that it is now gener-
ally charged by the Republican leaders and
and press Of the North that tho Southern
people expect that a change of the admin
istration of the federal government and
the advent of the Democratic reform
party to power, will inure to their pccu-
mary benefit in securing for them pay
ment for loss or damage to property suf-
fercd by them during the late war. In re-
ply to this charge we declare that the
Southern people have no such hope or ex.
pectatiOn.
Their loss in debts incurred in support
Of the war and caused by emancipation is
barred from payment by the fourteenth
amendment to the constitution of the
United States. Compensation for all Other
injuries to their property caused by thu
war is prohibited by the law of nations and
the decisions of the supreme court Of thu
United States.
They have, therefore, no hope or expec.
tation of being reimbursed for either, ant
VIC denounce such charges as injurious
and false. All we desire is peace, pros
perity and just government, givin. u
equal rights under the constitution.

JeWell's Jugglery.

AS soon as the Republican disaster in
Maine was asccrtained the Republican
politicians of New York set up a scheme
to bleed their mOneyed men anew to sus-
tain their sinking cause in the West.
They hurried into the stock market with
bear movement to beat down prices
and SO create panic over the apprehen-
sion that "when the Democrats come in
some disaster will happen the business
interests of the country" Business
men are not apt to forget that it was
under 4 Republican administration and
as the results of long continued Republi-
can rule, of botched reconstruction, of
public corruption widespread, and of in
flated values, that tho panic of 1873 and
the causes leading to it occur
red. 1t was while Republican
Congress had its hand on the helm that
the forge fires went out and that the
owls and the bats began to build their
nests in tho furnace stacks. 1t was a
Democratic Congress that vigorously
enforced governmental economies to the
amount of $3O,OOO,OOO Il year, which,
with the providential blessings of good
crops, made the resumption of specie pay
ment possible. Three successive Demo-
cratic Congresses and tho gradual COM
plete restoration of the legislative de-
partment to the control Of the DemOcra-
cy have done nothing to impair the bu-
siness interests of the country nor to
mar its material prosperity.
Business men are not altogether fools.
They know that there is nothing in DEM
Ocratic success to threaten them. They
have seen the resources of the South
develop and strengthen under Demo
cratic rule, and its waste places made
glad, the revenues of the states honestly
expended, and an effort made by the
Democracy to enforce the payment of the
state debts, even those which rascally
carpet-baggers had heaped upon them
without recompense to the common
wealths. They have seen the Virginia,
the Tennessee and the Arkansas Demo-
Gratis opposing. reputation, while the
Minnesota Republicans shamelessly car
ried it through. The " business men,
are not likely to bite at Marshall JEWELS
bait. They will not bleed by any such
tricks at this last of his. He wants their
money and they know it.

Harrisburg Patriot.
The Democrats Of this city, jubilant over
the result in Maine on Tuesday, announced
their intention, through the columns of the
Patriot yesterday morning, of having a
grand torch light procession on Wcdnes-
day evening, and they kept their word to
the very letter. Tho evening was q most
delightful one, the moon being out in all
it's splcndcr, rendering objects on the
streets almost as light rs day. Long be-
fore the hour of o'clock p. m. tho vari-
Gus clubs, with full ranks and with bands
of music and several drum corps were in
motion, the common centre being Market
square. Crowds Of spectators wero packed
in the square, and along Market, Second
and Third streets, holding good positions
along tho curb stones and in eligible places
to get u glimpse of the procession.
Promptly at O clock the procession moved
off amid vigorous cheering by the men in
line, the music Of the several bands, pyro-
tcchntc displays, and the waving of hand
kerchicfs by many Of the ladies' on the
sidewalks. i
Many of the clubs bore torches in line,
and a liberal display of pyrotcchnics were
set off at various points along the line OF
march.
After the street parade a mass meeting
was organized in the court house by the
appointment of Hon. w. Il. Gorgas as
president. Ovid f. Johnton, csq., in a
few pertinent remarks introduced w.
L. Hcnscl, esd, of Lancaster, rs the
first speaker of the evening. Mr.. Hen
sci then proceeded to deliver most
eloquent and convincing speech which
frequently drew forth the lOudest dem,
onstrations of approval from the large
audience. lie showed mp the false
claim of the Republican party OH tho sub
jcct of civil service reform, the hideOus
crime of tho electoral fraud, the corrup
tions of Republican legislation and admin
istration and the bugbear Of the southern
brigadicrs.' He laid bare the dark spots
in the record of General Garfield by quot
ing from such Republican journals as
Mtrpcr's Weekly, the New York Tribune,
New York Times and Murat Halstead's
Cincinnati Commercial. He also denounced
in unsparing terms the pardon OF the riot
bribcrs. Colonel PETER, editor of the Car
Isle Sentinel, was then called out and ad.
dressed the meeting in q very fOrcible and
effective speech. Every allusion of the
speakers to General Hancock elected the
most enthusiastic applause. Tho court
house was literally packed with people,
some not even finding standing room. As
an impromptu meeting it was 4 most dc
cidcd and gratifying success.

THE VICTORY IN MAINE.
I'laistcd Certainly Elected.

Kepuplicssn Frauds Cant Coant Ham Out.
The returns so far received show Davis
to be ahead by 1,S41 majority. The towns
to hear from gave a Fusion majority last
year Of 2,4OO If the same proportion is
observed this year Plaistcd willl,ave about
GOO majority. His election is not doubted
now. Reeds (Rcp.) election is now as
sured. How it was obtained will soon be
made known. The bulllozing in Biddefortl
alone was enough of itself to vitiate the
election of Reed. The Argus publishes an
affidavit from William Mahai,, swearing
that he was discharged from the Pcpperill
mill for voting the Democratic ticket, and
several other cases Of fraud have been
sworn to.
The indications arc that Lindscy's
Utep.) election is in doubt, or SO close that
there will be contest for the scat. KnOx
county returns reduced his majority to 80.
but Somerset returns raised it a little still
his election is not assured beyond doubt.
General Plaistel says that his majority
| will be about two thousand, and these
figures arc vouchcd for by shrcwd Demo
Gratis.
The proclamation of Lee CranGall,
of Washington, claiming Il great Green
back victory, is disgusting all decent
Grccnbackers, who regard this rs the first
step toward breaking the fusion on the cleo
tOral ticket. If this should he attempted
tho days Of Grecnbackism in Maine arc
numbered. A large majority Of the rank
and file would 80 over in u body to the
Hancock columns. If the Fusionists have
only a plurality, it is understood that
the supreme court will be asked by the
Republicans to declare that the amend
ment to the. constitution, passed by popu
lar vote last Monday, cannot so into CT
feet. This would be very stupid move
for it was the Republican party that fOrcct
through the bill to submit the amendment
to have plurality elect and to make il
operative in this election. Plaistcd will
have a majority over all, however.
General Hancock's Congratulations.
Among the dispatches received by Mr.
ii. NJ. Phisted, governor elect Of the state
of Maine, is the following
