A Severe Arrangement.

In recent speech to the Democra-
cy of New York, the Hon. Samuel j.
Randall, of Philadelphia made the
following arraignment Of Rutherford
b. Hayes, late fraudulent President of
the United States. Referring to the
power of the national banks of the
country, in connection with the three
per cent. funding bill, passed by a
Democratic Congress and vetoed by
Mr.. Hayes, Mr.. Randall is thus re-
ported:
He spoke Of the power of the na.
tional banks ~ lhe most nefafious ever
welded by any corporations in - civil.
zed country. and then he said that Pre-
sident Hayes vetoed the bill. lie had
no more right to do it, continued the
speaker, than | have to cut all your
throats but he committed a great pub.
lie wrong for private Interests. That il.
perhaps "a strong thing 10 say: but re.
ceived the original message of veto by
President Hayes own messenger, and
the erasures and changes in the manu-
script Of that message proved absolute
IL that the veto was written two days
at least before he received the bill,
Nobody ever doubted that the veto
of the funding bill was prompted by
the national banks, and that it was in
tended to subserve their interests but
the positive declaration Of ex-Speaker
Randall that Hayes wrote his veto
message two days at least before he
received the BILL" will convince all
all candid men that the message was
conceived in iniquity and was the alb
solute production of a corrupt bargain.
The proof produced by Mr.. Randall
would damn anybody but Mr. Hayes ;
but as he is already past praying for.
his sanclimonous character is not like
ly TO suffer any material damage,

 draYs and freight wagons of Sisson,

 guarding each wagon load of goods by
 an armed force of four or five men.
 It was quite novel sight to see such a
 warlike procession, marching to and fro
 on the streets, and we have nc doubt
 that many expression of disapproval
 were made, all of which will undoubted-
 ly be charged against the SENTINEL whenever Hoffman has an occasion to
 to use his affidavit man. We presume
 that as soon as these goods are removed that the legal warfare will commence and relieve us of an armed force which have put our community into such evil repute with the world at large as to call down upon us some very severe and unjust criticisms. Knowing as we do the temper
 of our community and their feelings pro and con upon this subject we have only to reiterate opinions that we have con- stantly advanced through the column. of the SENTINEL, namely that there never was the shadow of an excuse for bringing this large party of armed men here for the purpose of serving this process, and that it was done for effect can not be denied by no one, and that this act has served their purpose, only to well, is becoming more and more daily apparant by the boldness which they defy the law We can assure them that it will be very ull1CuIG GO UTlHS Ou WHdC IS SO much Qc- sired (bY them) a conflict with arms, as our citizens are law abiding, and law loving, and to prove it we poiat with pride to the records of the last ten years, and challenge any place in the United States, of it's size, to show as few viola tions of the law.
