fore removed him, and the 3lst day Of
January, 1879, they addressed Arthur
letter. Among other things Hayes
remarked:
"You have made the Custom House
a centre of partisan political manage
ment" "With deep sense of my
obligations under the Constitution, |
regard it as my plain duty to suspend
you. in order that the office may be
honestly administered.
Secretary Sherman addressed him
on the same subject, and in his letter
we find the following:
"Gross abuses OF administration have
continued and increased during your
incumbency." persons have been
regularly paid by you who have rem
dered little orno service; the expenses of
your office have increased, while its
receipts have diminished Brides, or
gratuihes in the shape of bribcs, have
been received by your subordinates in
several branches of the Custom House,
and you have in no case supported the
effort to correct these abuses"
Reader, remember that these gross
charges are not Democratic lies but
Radical truths. Now, If Mr. Arthur
failed to administer the affairs OF the
Custom House HONESTLY, how is he
likely to behave should he accidontly

DEATH OF REV. KERFooT.-Wc learn
from the Pittsburgh Telegraph, of the
7th inst, that after weary season Of
pam, death relieved June 9th, the suf.
ferings of the Rev. Abel Kerloot, only
son Of the Right Rev. ]. b. Kerfoot.
For many days the coming of this sad
event has been expected hourly, the
young mans physicians having aban.
doned all hope some time ago. Rev.
Abel Kerfoot was noble, upright
man, who can lily be spared in the
church. He began his ministrations
as assistant rector of Trinity Church,
and subsequently had charge OF St,
Thomas's parish, Verona borough, and
Of st. Marks parish, on the South
Side. For some four or five years he
has been unable to operform ministerial
work, and incessant and ambitious
study is said to have led to the disorder
that resulted in death at the age of 81
years. MIR. Kerfoot was an unmarried
man, and Of singularly pure aud
noble character. In this deep atlliction
laid upon his venerable and reverend
father the latter possesses the heartfelt
sympathy Of this entire community,
more especially in view Of the fact that
the Bishops health has been grievously
impaired of late so that it may be long
before he can assume the responsible
labor Of his high Office. Tho funeral

General Chester A. Arthur is the
son OF Presbyterian clergyman, and
was born in Albany county, New York,
about fifty years ago. He graduated
at Union College and entered upon
manhood as lawyer in New York
city. He gained almost immediate
prominence and reputation among
Abolitionists through the famous lac.
mon case in 1852, upon which the
question whether slave remained in
bondage when on free soil was finally
disposed of, Lemon, u Virginia slave
h8!doY, bressh eight slaves TO New
York, and colored Now Yorker
brought the question of their liberty
into tho Courts. Il. d. Culver with
whom young Arthur was associated,
appeared for the slaves and Henry Il
Clinton and others against them. The
Supreme Court declared them free.
The decision provoked national excite
ment The Governor Of Georgia de
clared 1t just cause for war. The Vir.
ginia Legislature resolved TO appeal
the case. The general term upheld
the first decision. Chester A. Arthur
and W. NJ, Evarts argued for the slaves
before the court Of appeals and won
final victory. General Arthur be
came an active politician. He was q
delegate to the first Republican Con
vention in the State of New York.
When the war broke out he became
Engineer-in-C Chief on Governor Nor.
gan's staff and soon after was Quarter
master General of the State Of Now
York. He was conspicuous in the
Convention of 1864 in preventing the
nomination of Dickinson and securing
the nomination of Andrew johnson.
He was appointed Collector of the port
of New York by President Grant in
1871 to succeed Thomas Murphy, and
was removed by Hayes soon after the
latter's accession TO office for abuses

THAT RENT FRAUD.

The Hon. John W. Ryon, Congress
man from the Schuylkill district, in
his speech on the Cnrtin' Yocum con
test, among other good things, made
this statement:
"At the election in the Fall of 1878
there were three candidates voted for
in the Twentieth Congressional dis
trict for Governor, and the entire vote
given Tor the three was 2i,5ll votes,
while the Congressional vote in the
SAINT district was 26,s35, The actual
increased vote given for the two can
didates for Congress over the vote
given for Governor was 1894. In this
state Of facts is developed one Of the
most remarkable circumstances in this
case, almost unprecedented in the his
tory of elections in this country since
the foundation of the Government.
That the Congressional vote should ex-
ceed the total vote for State officers is
most unusual circumstance, and that
1884 legal voters in that district
should 90 to the polls and vote alone
for the Congressional candidates and
refrain from voting for the candidates
for Governor almost surpasses human
belief. This excessive vote CORES.
ponds to certain extent with the
number OF non registered votes ascer-
tanned to have been given by the in
vestlgation in this case, When con.
sidered in connection with the fact
that the Assessors are supposed to
have done their duty in making II reg
istration of all the qualified electors in
the district, where the people are com
paratively stationary and generally
well known, strong suspicion is
raised that the extraordinarily large
list Of non.registered names represent
ed ballots and not men.
"In this recital OF facts, which are
incapable of successful relutation, are
all the indications Of most stupen
dous and whispered fraud upon the
ballot boxes of that district
aft is in evidence in this case that
one hundred and twenty.one persons
voted for the sitting member without
registration and without making the
aflidavits and proof required by the
registration act. These voters were
examined, testified to the facts, ant
the House has been referred to theii
names and the pages Of the testimony
in the case where the proof may bC
found. These voters were clearly lille
gal and fraudulent, and as the number
exceeds the official majority by which
the sitting member claims the scat
they disprove his right to retain il
and would fully Justify the House il
seating the contestant"
We dislike very much to publish
such stubborn facts. When away from
home, we have often called the atten
ton of our friends TO the talents anC
moral integrity of the voters in tn,
XXth Congressional district, The elec
tion in 1878 has knocked Integrity
out of our claim, and we stand beior
our fellow.men convicted OF a hug,
crime perpetrated on the ballot.box
although we had no hand in this wicl,
ed business Many of those who per
petrated, or assisted in this crime, ar

days, caught in the very act, there j
no one to stone them. Hence, the,
