THAT CHINESE LETTER.

Shortly before the election letter
was published in New York, purport
ing to have been written by Gen. Gar
field last January, and in which Chi
nese labor was favored. Gen. Garfield
instantly pronounced it base forgery,
in strong and direct language. Not
withstanding his charge that 1t was
forgery, the Democratic National Com
mittee persisted in circulating 1t and
claiming it was genuine. Witnesses
were procured by them and induced to
swear to facts, going to show that 1t
was geruine. These witnesses were
Immediately arrested by the Republl-
cans for perjury. The principal ones
of them then confessed their perjury
and implicated leading Democrats ln
hiring them to commit it. And thus
they are exposed. To defeat they
have added what is worse-dishonor
and disgrace The so-called Chinese
labor letter is proven now to have
been base forgery, and leading Dem
ocrats of the country stand in very
unenviable position before the country.
Verify "honesty is the best policy" IN
politics, as well as in everything else.

enlarge il in Others. The Western
States will gain some members and the
Northern and Eastern ones lose some.
PENNSYLVANIA would lose two in num-
ber. This will require remodeling
of the districts of this State, and an en-
largement of most of them This re-
modelling has to be done by the State
Legislatures, which can only act on
the same this winter if Congress sue
ceeds in first fixing the ratio, which
determines the number of the members.
If Congress does not, this winter, SO
fix the future number of its body, then
the State Legislatures can do nothing
this winter. In addition to the new
Congressional apportionment, soon to
be made, the different States have also TO
make new appointments, under the
late Census, for State purposes, to wit:
Assembly. State Senators and judi
cial districts. 1t is supposed that
this will be done by our Legislature
this winter. but not necessarily so,
as we understand it. At all events 1t
will depend on whether the late Cen
sus is completed and reported to and
approved by Congress at its coming

If we knew exactly how "to write

might do it. But, with the change
of times the game of this county has

made the hunts exciting. We have
not heard of fox hunt for some years
past, yet there are some very sly foxes
still about. As to the coons, the Re-

A Town Shudd ring in Terror

ERIE, PA, Nov. 13.-This city is
in great state of excitement owing to
the imminent danger of a fearful ex-
ploson of nitroglycerine, which may
occur at any moment. The schooner
George Mobery, from Quebec, loaded
with twenty tons Of the explosive com
pound, put into this port from stress
of weather Thursday night She has
since dragged her anchors, and is now
aground on q sunken pier, upon which
she is beating with great violence.
Efforts were made to get her off yes
terday, but without success. 1t is diff
licult to estimate the damage TO life or
property that might ensue in the event
Of an explosion. There is about five
feet of water in her.

well at first, while it was unsupported, but it
was presently discovered, and at the following
election the people OF Iuiana defeated what
had come to be quietly designated by its au-

put an end to what they saw was, or at any

Census Work.

WAsHINGTON, November i2,-Sq=
perintendent Waller says that the
work of compilation of the results of
the labors of the enumerators has SUI
iciently advanced, especially with
reference to population, to enable him
to say with perfect safety that this
branch of the labor Of his Office will be
completed by January lst. The sta
tstcs OF population will be in such
shape that, should Congress determine
to revise the apportionment of repre-
sentatiyes based on the census Of 1880,
he can furnish authoritative iBforma=
tion concerning every portion Of the
country TO the committee charged with
this subject. The work of revision, he
says now going on in st. Louis, under
the auspices of the peoples committee,
will not make any material delay, as
he anticipates from Prof Woodward
such an active performance OF his work
that the returns will be completed and
submitted to the chief Office within
thirty days There are other loeali-
ties Of minor importance which have
been reviewed by special agents, but
returns III these have been made, leav-
ing ST. Louis the only point in the
United States not yet finally disposed
Of. Wit respect TO enumeration, rep
resentatives from different sections in
the northwest and south have been in
correspondence with the census Office
and members of the Census Commits
tee, urging disposition OF the new
apportonment at the approaching ses.
sion Of Congress, on the ground that
in all the States holding biennial scs-
sions the legislatures will be in session
for an adjustment Of their districts for
the purpose OF national representation
to the new ratio, whaiGger that may
be. This question is bound 10 excite
considerable discussion. The House,
with It's present TWO hundred and nine
ty-three representatives, has some
times been regarded a. unWieldly for
the prompt dispatch Of pnblc blsipgsg,
and repeated intlmations have been
given by the leaders on both sides Of

PETROLIA'S SDISASTE Err

A fire in Petrolia last week, being
year past, has called out the sympa-
thy of all who know the energetic and
spirit that has all along characterized
her citizens.
A writer to the Titusvlle Herald
of the 11th inst, refers to Petrolia's
late fire as follows:
From the years IA to '76, Petrolia
was in the height of her glory, and it
must be said that she has enjoyed the
full tide of prosperity, which, in times
gone by, swept over that portion of
the oil country known as the Butler
county oil fields. But she has also
met her share of disaster, both by fire
and food.
About the month OF August, 70,
the Oil Exchange, together with all
the block in which it stood. was
swept away by fire, while both before
and after fires have been sufficiently
numerous to satisfy even q live oil
town, such, indeed, as Petrola has
always been, even in the midst Of the
eclipse that Bradford has thrown over
the several other towns contiguous to
her in various directions"
1t is likely the burned district will
not be rebuilt again.
John Lewis Market Orwig's Pa mt
Store; Blymiller's Hotel, origin of fire;
United Pipe Line Office; Backus'
Hardware Argyle Savings Bank /;
Benedict's Dry Goods Post Office and
Old Oil Exchange, are the buildings
burned or damaged y the fire in Pc
trolia last week.

President elect Garfeld's Inten-
tion.S

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-lt is not
likely that Gen Garfield will resume
his seat in the House next winter, but
will remain away from Washington
until few days prior 10 the time fixed
for his Inauguration as President of
the United States. 1t does not follow,
however, that he will resign his seat
in the House. When Mr.. Wheeler
was elected Vice President he was a
member of the Fourty-fourth Con-
gress, and continued his membership
until the close of that Congress, al
though he did not resume his seat in
Congress after his election to the Vice
Presidency. In addition TO being a
member of the present Congress, Gen,
Garfield has been chosen to the Forty
seventh Congress to represent Ohio In
| the Senate, and his credentials as Sen
ator-elect are now on the file of that
body. His resignation of his commits
sion will be placed in the hands OF
| Gov. Foster in time to enable the Ohio
Legislature to choose another success,
sOr for the vacancy which will be
caused by the expiration of Senator
Tnurman's term of Office.

new volume, being No. |, of Vol lS.
1t is therefore entering upon It's eigh-
teenth year We have been connected

is our intention to still enlarge the
circle Of its readers, and to that end
we invite the cooperation Of all friends.
During the time we have been editing
it we have passed through some excit-
ing and important contests, both local
and general, in all of which we have
the satisfaction of knowing that we
supported the honest and the right
cause and candidates. Where we have
seen an attempt to use the fair name Of
the Republican party, and turn it to
corrupt or selfish purpose, we have
felt it duty to speak out and spare
not. We have stood up for that
party in this county. and between it
and bad men, whenever and where
ever we have seen a proper and neces-
sary occasion SO to do. For this we
have, Of course, incurred the ill-wiI Of
some. But this will not deter US in
the future from standing by and up
holding the honest man and the just
cause, now demanded more than ever.
And in this we know that we have
with us the old and the reliable mem
beas Of the party in the county and all
It's unseltish supporter.

HARpER's Weekly calls attention to
the scandalous manner in which NOM
nations have been made this year
that is, solely on account OF the
amount of money which the candidates
could and would put into the canvass.
This has certainly been growing evil
of late years, and it is one that will be
very difficult to check unless through
the concerted action Of the best citi-
zens-those who are not aspirants for
Office, and are in earnest for this re-
form. When Office is only to be OBJ
tanned by those who own or control
great wealth, we have already drifted
into q method of government that ID
neither Republican nor Democratic.
But this is the change that has already
come about in nearly all Of our large
cities, and many country districts.
Both parties have, during the past
few years, made it a rule to nominate
rich men for the most important Offices
men able and willing to spend money
freely for the cause of the party. The
candidate may be able in other re-
spects, or be may not be. 1t is an evil
that must be checked soon If we are to
have anything like good and pure gov
ernment, for it not only prevents the
best men from taking Office but it de-
morslizes our public life by corruption
of electors. The remedy for this must
exist, and it must be sought for by
thinking and patriotic voters and it
can be found none too soon.
