Neither Fair Nor Just.

If the financial editor of the Sentinel
ever makes mistake he never corrects it.
Two weeks ago we called his attention to
the fact that when the Democrats came into
power in Carroll county, in December, 1867,
the county Indebtedness was S80,61O, and
not S68,475, as he had stated it. We also
cited him to the books in the County Com
missioners' office where he could verify the
fact. Last week he had another article on
county finances, and instead of correcting
his error of two weeks previous he really
adhered to his former figures Such is his
habit. however He makes statements In
a harum-skarum way, aadif they are shown
to be erroneous, as they very frequently
are, he never correQts them Such course
is not commenaaAle 1t is not fair. 1t is
not in the interest of truth and justice.

Election Frauds in Philadelphia, Pa

4 dispatch from Philadelphia; Dec. q
saws. The trial of David Mouat, for altering an
election return, which suddenly collapsed on
Monday by the discovery that liked man
was on the jury personating regularly subp@G-
naed juryman, was recommended to-day. Inc
prisoner pleaded guilty, and was convicted
and sentenced to two years imprisonment
and to pay the costs and fine OF 81 900. Inc
prisoner who has been member OF the Guy
Councils, pleaded hard for mercy. he had
served in the army, had been prisoner OF
war and had never before been charged WIN
any offence He broke down and cried, but
quickly recovered himself, when his counsel
made another earnest appeal to the court.
Judge Bddle remarked that he supposed every
American citizen understood that the purity
of the ballot-box and the jury-box are at the
foundation of our government, and one OF the
most beautiful traits of our people IS the 1act
that after contest, no matter how Dlttef IL
NAV be. all acouiesce to the decision OF the
ballot box. because they believe 1t to be cor
rect. Destroy that belief and we become ike
the South American republics. A most mel
ancholy feature is that men, otherwise up
right and of good character, think 1t natural
to cheat in favor of their party, and the idea
that because election officers acquiesce IN
others touching or altering the papers, it does
not constitute an offence, though it is misde.
meanor in themselves to touch them before
being sworn. is one of which the minds OF
these men must be disabused. He sympa-
thized with the defendant, but was in no po-
sition to give effect to that sympathy. He
then proceeded to pass sentence on the pris-
oner. Wood, the man who personated the
juryman on the jury, has rendered himself Ii
able to sentence of ten years Imprisonment,
as he committed forgery in signing his assumed
name in the jury book. The verdicts rendered
in several other cases will be quashed by this
irregularity, and new trials must be had, IN
volving great expense.

Mr.. Keifer's Partisanship.

! The composition of the committees of the
House of Representatives, announced by
Speaker Keifer on Wednesday, is not sat
isfactory to many Republicans nor to the
Democrats, Those Republicans who Sc
cured the chairmanships they desired, and
they are few, of course are in high glee,
but many other Republicans do not regard
that their importance in the House or in
the party, was properly estimated in as
signing them positions. The Democrats
complain very much at the make up of sew
eral committees, and claim that Speaker
Keifer has not only used his power to stiAe
the sentiment of the minority as much as
possible, but to punish enemies also.
1t is not to be supposed that any Speaker
could give entire satisfaction, but the one
sidedness of some committees is too great
to pass unnoticed The important commit
tee on elections, for instance, is composed
of fifteen members OF these nine are
Republicans, four are Democrats, one :,
Greenbacker and one Readjuster. These
last two may be expected to act with the
Republicans, and the committee really stands
eleven Republicans to foaz Democrats.
The design of this is apparent There are
quite number of contested election cases,
fifteen of them frcm: the southern states.
The Republican, majority in the House is
slim, and this large Republican representa-
ton on, tAe committee on elections is in
tended to Increase that majority by seating
Republicans and turning down Democrats.
! The committee on tariff is largely conf
posed of protective men, and no hope Of a
revision of the tariff list need be maintained.
Mr.. Keifer has been represented as a
weak man. However that may be, he is
certainly too partisan for the position Of
Speaker. In order to crowd the commit
tees with Republicans, he has very serious
ly crippled the efficiency of some by making
them up largely OF new and inexperienced
men. Men who have served for years IN
the House are showed aside and put Ia Pc
sitions of little Importance.
On the Republican side, Mv> Mason,
who was Mr. Keifer's chief c1apetitor for
the Republican nomination fog Speaker, has
not been given Craftsmanship. Aside
from his experience. courtesy would have
prompted the tender It some important
Craftsmanship. Otherr prominent Republi-
cans. beside Kas2oF, have been passed by,
and personal feeling is said to be the cause
The Washington correspondent of the
New YORK SIM says the composition of the
committees is clearly i'll the interest Of job
berry, huge appropriations and lavish ex-
penditure of the public money.

Personalities are never pleasant except
when allusion is made to another. The
Sentinel contributors have ever been per-
sonal, but when personal allusion is made
to those who seek to hide behind another
and think they are unknown, it is not quite
so good thing in their estimation. There
has scarcely been an article in the Sentinel,
on county matters, for the past three years
that has not dealt in personalities, and the

Christmastide.

Another Christmas is at hand. Christ
mas succeeds to Christmas, and New Year S
bay to New Years Day These arc the
milc-stones, as it were, on lifc's journey,
seventy tolcighty of which, and sometimes
ninety, are counted by the pilgrims whose
feet tarry longest upon the road, But
many, very many, do not journey SO far.
Only the stronger and more tenacious of
life reach the goal Of three score and ten,
or four score, while the vast majority of our
race lie down to rest before travelling half
that distance This view of Christmas,
however, is too sombre for the season, which
is one of Joy and festiyity, and ought to be
hailed in joyous and jubilant spirit. 1t
is the greatest festival of the year, pecu-
liarly enjoyable, to young and old. No
other event recorded in the annals of time
is so fraught with blessing to the human
race. It is meet that all should celebrate
its return with buoyant heart and cheerful
spirit, and signalize the occasion by acts of
kindness, charity and love. What love
can even remotely approximate that which
the recurrence of this season commemo-
rates ?-the gift of the Infinite to the fl
mite; life immortal to death spiritual and
eternal. How deep and all-pervading should
be our realization of the priceless value Of
that gift which was proclaimed to the shep-
herds on the plains of Judea, while they
watched their focks on that hallowed night.
The highest appreciation which we can
show of the priceless boon of the advent, is
to emulate cur Great Exemplar, in our
finite measure, by giving good gifts to all
those about us, diffusing joy and gladness
not only in the family circle, among the
loved ones at home, but to all, not forget
ting the poor who should share largely OF
our bounty at Christmastide.
