Rebel Claims Again.


"Senator Edmunds, speaking for
Northern Republicans and taxpayers,
says it means that the claims (rebel war
claimsl will be paid, and that there is
no Constitutional bar to their payment"
-Belicfonte Republican.
Then Senator Edmunds and his
Republican associates in Congress
must have been most prodigious blum
derers when they drafted the fourth
section of the fourteenth amendment to
the Constitution of the United States.
In that section of the Constitution it
is provided that "neither The United
States nor any State shall assume or
pay any debt or obligation incurred IN
aid Of iHsirrection or rebellion against
the United States, or claim for the loss
or emancipation Of any stare, but all
such debts, obligations and claims shall
be held illegal and roid.' This is part
of the fundamental law of the land,
recognized as such by every depart
ment of the government and accepted
by every shade Of political opinion in
the country. When adopted it was
intended rs bar to the payment of
rebel claims, and if it fails to meet
that purpose, a heavy load of respon-
sibility rests upon those who were in
strumental in placing it upon the
statute book. With Democrats there
is no difficulty about its proper con-
struction. They know what it means,
and stand by it in letter and spirit
The platform of the party accepts it
and General Hancock explicitly re-
cognizes it in his letter of acceptance
when he says, "the thirteenth, four
teenth and fifteenth amendments to
the Constitution of the United States,
embodying the results of the war, are
inviolable." Ia the late admirable
letter written by General Hancock to
Mr.. Theodore Cook, of Cincinnati, he
also gives the public his position upon
this question in words, clear, incisive
and unmistakeable, and disposes of the
false and flimsy charge that he would
favor the payment of rebel war claims
in the event of his election to the
Presidency. He places himself square
ly before the people upon this issue,
and the plighted word of the stainless
soldier will be accepted rs an ample
guarantee for faithful adherence to
every pledge he makes. But read the
letter of Gen. Hancock, and then say
whether this "bugbear," as he ftly
terms it, should not in the future be
permitted to sleep in silence.

SINCE some of our Republican
friends have become so enamored Of
the opinions of Judge Jeremiah 5.
Black, We call their attention to the
late letter of this distinguished man
to the Democracy at their monster
meeting held in the city of New
York last week. While the judge
still believes that Garfield is very
good sort of man in the walks of
private life, he proves couclusively
the political career Of the Republican
candidate for President has been one
of regeneration, Inconsistency and
even dishonor that he is man total
ly devoid of the courage of his con-
victions; that he has ever been the
willing tool of the party machine !;
and that by his elevation TO the Pres
idency the worst elements of radical
ism would continue to dominate in the
affairs of state. Such n man is unfit
for the Chief Magistracy of a free
people and the country will so decide
in emphatic tones on the second day of
November next.

Ollect, with proud satisfaction, in cast

his competitor, if their consciences
will allow them TO evade it.

CoNKLrSG's great effort in New
York does not seem to have met the
hopes of his party. Instead of con-
ciliating the feuds of factions, the i'm
perious Senator only raised the
"bloody shirt" at the South, and then
rushed like a mad bull at the Hayes
administration and the members OF
the party who sympathized with it,
They are not at all pleased, and vote
the "great effort" great failure so
far as any practical advantages to the

BELLEFONTE PA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30 $780,

THE question as to whether the
property qualification required to OBJ
tain vote under the laws Of Rhode
Island, applied to all citizens who did
not possess a freehold estate, or is con-
fined only to those of foreign birth,
was submitted to the Attorney Gener-
al Of that State by Mr.. Weller Of
Washington. The following is his
reply:
STATE or RHODE ISLAND,
ASS T ATToBSEY-GESEEAL's OFFICE,
Providence, X. l., Sept. 10, 1880 J
". J. Weller, Esq:
DEAR SiR.-Yours of the eth inst. is at
hand. have just replied to letter of
Mr.. Gleason requesting the same iniorma-
ton, and will, therefore, only say in reply
To yours that a FOREIGN BORN CITf-
ZEN of our State MUST OWN REAL
ESTATE To ENTITLE HIM TO
VOTE, and that NATIVE BORN
NEED NOT.
SAMUEL p. CoLT, Asst Att'y Gen.
The existence and enforcement Of
this odious system of prescription, if
applied to all alike, native and foreign
born citizen, would still be Il blot
upon free government, but where such
law is enacted and enforced to ostra-
cise our Irish and German citizens it
is simply infamous and would not be
tolerated in any State in the Union
not controlled by the Republican
party But the sentiment which ap-
proves such laws is not confined alone
to Rhode Island. 1t prevades the
Republican party in all States where
the political opinions of the voter does
not accord strictly with that party,
which is the party of prescription aud
intolerance.

American Crows.

1t is not generally known that crows
do not go further south than Washing
ton during the winter. They congre-
gate there by the millions and have roost-
ing-places within three miles of the city,
Early in the morning, in huge flocks
they course down the Potomac, and late
in the evening return to their roosts in
the pine groves which lie adjacent to
the river. They follow the tide swamps
whenever barred by the .ebb tide and sub
sist upon the crabs and other water an
imal life which may be left exposed
But why they do not remain some twen-
ty or thirty miles down the Potomac,
where the pine groves are hundred
times more extensive, and where the ice
never forms, is unexplained. We have
gone near a roosting- place, of few acres
extent, about dusk, and were surprised
to note that immense number of these
birds clinging to the branches of the
trees. They keep up an incessent cav
ing all night long, and when. disturbed,
literally fill the air with their confused
masses and cries. When warm weather
comes, they leave us and are as rarely
seen here during the summer as they
are further north during the winter.
