BELLEFONTE PA, THURSDAY, JANUARY IS, 1880

Gov. HoYT has mustered up cour-
age enough to appoint his friend, Col.
Stanley Woodward, Additional Law
Judge, in Luzerne county, to fill the
vacancy made by the recent appoint
ment of Judge Rice to the President
Judgeship of that district, rice Judge
Harding, resigned. When the resig-
nation of Judge Harding was receiv-
ed, and the time came for the ap-
polntment of n successor, the Govern
or's inclinations were to give the place
to Col. Woodward, but a heavy pres
sure was brought to bear against it
by the Republican politicians who de-
manded the appointment of Senator
Payne. The Governor permitted him
self to be bulldozed into yielding so
far as to appoint Judge Rice, Re
publican, who was last fall elected
Additional Law Judge. There seems
to be sort of Damon and Pythias
friendship between Hoyt and Wood
ward. Woodward had all his life
been known as an active, persistent
Democrat, but when Hoyt became tie
candidate of the opposition for Cover.
nor, he allowed his Democratic antece-
dents to weigh so little with him that he
would not conceal his preference for his
friend. He openly proclaimed his in.
tention to support Hoyt on the ground
of personal friendship" Many Dem
ocrats thought he made an unnecessa-
ry and even brazen parade of his
purpose to the public, and were not
only greatly surprised but very indig-
nant at his course. But when the time
came to appoint successor to Rice,
Hoyt, despite of radical protest and
threats of indignation, returns the ia.
vOr of the past. 1t is, as our ire
pressible friend, Ben. Burroughs, OF
Harrisburg, would understand it, sim.
ply "qiid pro quo" and the Repub.
licans Of Luzerne may as well take il
with cheerfulness, instead of trying to
kick up big rumpus in the stalwari
camp over it as they are reported to
be doing. Tearing down Gov. Hoyt's
portrait and tramping it in the mud
as the Hoyt club of one of the Lu.
zerne county villages is reported to
have done few evenings since, will
not mend the matter.

The Philadelphia T;mcs, recogniz-
ing the fact that the local press is the
safest and surest index of public opin-
ion, recently sent circular letters with
blank circulars enclosed for answers,
to the 54O newspapers published in
pennsylvania, requesting from the
editors an expression Of the feeling of
the people in their respective locali-
ties upon the presidential question.
The first Of the responses to the Times
inquiry, were laid before its readers on
Monday, and showed decided prepon-
derance of sentiment for Blaine over
the man on horseback, with sop
here and there thrown to the Sherman
whale. On Tuesday the Times gave
the second installment, this time from
the Democratic press. Tilden is first
choice with Bayard a good second and
Hancock and Seymour inside of the
distance flag. The Times will con-
tlnue these publications until it has an
expression of opinion from all the

IT Is a beautiful and edifying spec

ton was called to it. This would have

By applying the opinions of the Su-

AN attempt is to be made in Con-
gress to make the General Govern
ment liable for the loss sustained by
the colored people who deposited their
savings in the "Freedman's Saving and
Trust Company" in Washington. The
claim is made, we believe, on the prin.
ciple that because the Republican
Congress chartered this fraudulent
concern to afford their stalwart friends
facilities TO rob the negro of his earn
ings, therefore the Government is re-
sponsible for the robbery. If such a
principle were adopted, making the
public treasury liable for the acts OF
all the bad men put. in place under
Republican administration, the pre-
sent national debt would pale in insig-
nificance to the amount which would
swell its liabilities.

Now You See 1t, And Now You
Don't.

There is an interesting and highly
exciting game Of political battle-dore,
and shuttle-cock now in progress, in
the stalwart State of Blaine. On the 7th
of the current month, the members of
the Legislature holding legal certif.
Gates from the Governor and Council,
met in Augusta and organized the
Senate and lower branch under all
the forms of law. Senator Blaine's
jumping jack, littlee Mr.. Hale and
a Prof Young, both Republicans,
qualified with the Fusionists in the
House, this making what they would
otherwise have lacked, quorum.
Finding, that in his zeal and anxiety
to shine as the bright particular star
In the armament of his party's trou-
bles, he had overreached himself, Mr..
Hale absented himself from the deIib-
erations of the body in which he had
voluntarily qualified as a member,
thus depriving it of the constitutional
number necessary for the transaction
of public business. The Senate organ
lied with legal quorum, and the Re.
publican members holding certificates
were all sworn in and participated in
the election of officers. 1t was not
and is not denied that the Senate was
legally organized and that its presid
ing officer, Hon. Jas. d. Lamson, i.
under the constitution of Maine act
ing Governor until Alonzo Garcelon',
successor Is elected. And yet with an
utter disregard of the law both funda

assumed the civil administration and
4 4eded upon its ruins a provisional
