BELLEFONTE, PA, THURSDAY MARCH If, 1880.

THERE is disposition in some quar-
tiers to find fault with Senator Wallace
for permitting the confirmation of
Marshal Kerns of Philadelphia. Why
the Senator should be censured for
the act of the Senate done in approval
of the report of their committee, of
which Senator Wallace was not a
member, is n conundrum difficult of
solution. If the confirmation was
improper or injudicious, it was GER
tainly no fault of Mr.. Wallace. Re
ferring to the subject, the Washington
Sunday Herald says:
The New York Sun and some other
journals ARE attacking Senator Wallace
for the confirmation of Marshal Kerns,
of the Eastern District of Pennsy lvania.
These attacks are of kind any decent
journal should be ashamed of. The re.
cord shows that Senator Wallace filed
with the Judiciary Committee a written
protest against Kerns' confirmation,
accompanied by copy of the evidence
taken before his Committee. This fact
is totally ignored by those who resort
to defamation of an able Senator and
sound Democrat to serve the purposes
of party schismatics. Senator Wallace,
by taking the course he did. freed him.
self from any responsibility for the con.
tirmation.
The nomination Of Mr.. Kerns was
fayorably reported by a committee
which numbered among its members
Senators Mcdonald and Garland, OF the
Wallace Investigating Committee. We
do not pretend to know the reasons
which actuated these Senators, or the
majority OF the Senate in confirming
the nomination. But we have heard it
said by Democrats whose views are en-.
titled TO respect, that il they must have
a Republican Marshal, with the powers
over elections which existing laws gives

like kerns. who had frankly testified

THERE is bill before Congress
which proposes to give the veterans of
the Mexican war bounty of $4,000.
It appears strange that this class of
soldiers should have been ignored by
Congress until the youngest of them
have become old men. The brilliant
service they performed, and the great
wealth added to the country by that
service, should certainly entitle them
to q fair share in the distribution of
the bounties of the Government.

The Bribery Cases.

The Legislative bribery cases came
up on Monday last, before Judge Pear
son, at Harrisburg. The first ca;e
called was the Indictment against Chas.
B. Salter for corrupt solicitation. The
brilliant array of counsel who appear
on both sides is sufficient to attract
attention to these cases, even if no re-
suits are obtained, or no importance
attached to the vindication of the law
in the punishment of the crime Of cor
rupting Legislature in Pennsylvania.
On the part OF the commonwealth is
Judge j. S. Black, Senator Carpenter,
Hon. F. b. Gowan, District Attorney
Hollingcr, George ii. Irwin, j. &. Nc
Alarney and j. w. Simonton. On the
part of the defence is Gen. Charles A.
Albright, Hon. VIM. III. Armstrong,
Hon. +. Carroll Brewster, Hon. Lewis
G. Cassidy, Hon. \. j. Herr, Hon. II.
A. Lamberton, Hon. VIM. b. Mann,
Hon. l.. w. Hall, Wilbur +. Salter
and John II. Weise. Certainly this
last list of honorables ought to be able
to justify TO Dauphin County Court
the purchase Of n few members of the
Legislature, mainly elected for that
purpose, and overcome the honest, OBJ
solete ideas Of old Jerry Black, who
no doubt still fancies that law and de-
cency should continue, as of old, to
control legislatures and lobbics. Be-
fore Simon Cameron established diff
ferent school and taught different
morality it was considered illegal and
somewhat dishonorable to give or re-
ceive' bribes, and when n rogue was
even suspected Of indulging in "ways
that are dark and tricks that are
vain," he got himself out of the Com
monwealth as quick as the Lord would
let him, never to be heard of again.
Perhaps Judge Black, in his honest
simplicity, il not familiar with the
change which time has wrought.

The re-appointment of Marshal
Kerns of Philadelphia has been con-
firmed by the Senate. The appoint
ment is as good, if not better, than
any one that could be expected from
the present administration. If Kerns
did employ host of unnecessary
deputy marshals to superintend the
election, any other man that Hayes
would appoint would do the same
thing perhaps in more Objectionable
form. The fault is not so much in
the marshals as in the law compell-
ing their appointment when demand
ed by two citizens. The declaration
Of Kerns before the investigating COM
mittee that they were not necessary
to obtain fair election, but that he
had no discretion and was compelled
to appoint when required TO do so,
had the merit Of candor at least.
These facts, no doubt, influenced the
confirmation-there being no personal
objection to the man.

SENATOR LOGAN, on Friday, closed
his three days, stump speech against
Gen. Porter, chaperoned and prompt
ed by Gen. Sherman. His speech was
violent and abusive, but presented no
argument or facts to overcome the just
conclusions of the able army officers
appointed to review the court-martial,
and who reported in favor of doing
justice to Porter. Such speech as
Logan put forth can have no weight
in determining the question, and was
perhaps only intended as an aid to the
malignants in stirring up the animosi-
ties Of the past, for political uses.
