Lancaster Inquirer, Cameron Rep.
The spirit evinced by B. Frank Eshle-
man, esq, in his remarks in the court
house on Monday night was not creditable
either to himself or the party. Low and
violent abuse toward political opponents
does no good, aud in this instance it was
aggravated by the speakers manner,
which was ridiculously pompous and
offensive. AS Republican journalist we
feel bound to say that the interests of the
party cannot be servcd-in that way.

We print on our first page to-day the
Pittsburgh Posts exposure of the infa-
nous Labor sell-Out in 1873, by which,
through Quay's manipulation, enough
Democratic voters were diverted from
Dill to elect HOyt. An agent named
Black, who was employed by Quay in
his great scheme to betray the Labor
men, seems to have been especially &C
tive in visiting Democratic localities for
the purpose of organizing Greenback
clubs and bogus Knights of Labor
lodges, with the ostensible purpose of
electing Mason, the Greenback Labor
candidate, but the real design of
which was to compass the de.
feat of Dill. Blacks operations in
this city, where on invitation of Mr.. j.
Hay Brown, who was then chairman of
the Republican county committee, he
had an interview with the latter '' in a
retired place." is a fair sample of the
way the thing was worked. Brown con-
ceived the idea of nominating Snyder
(not our present worthy member) or
some other respectable Eighth ward
Democrat, for the purpose of "settling
Steinmetz,' and the same game was
successfully played in other parts of the
state, to defeat the Democratic state
and legislative tickets and elect those cf
the Republicans. The Quay and Brown
letters are conclusive testimony of the
fraud practiced upon the laboring
men and Greenbackers, and no one
can read tho recital without feeling
hot indignation at the base betrayal that
is part and parcel OF Quay's campaign of
1873. The facts contained in the Posts
story are not essentially now to persons
acquainted with the inside history of
that canvass, but their publication over
J:oss Quay's own hand gives them the
animation of q demonstration that they
have hitherto lacked.

SUCCESSFUL CHECK RAISING.
A New York Bank Rays Out $500 ol
Draft for SIS.

"A New York Bank Rays Out $500 on u
Draft for SIS.
An instance of successful check raising
has been made public in New York,
whereby the American Exchange national
bank paid out $500 on draft or bill of
exchange which had been originally is
sued for S15, and altered so as to read for
the larger sum named. 1t appears that
about August the Bank of St. Joseph, of
Joseph, No.. made draft or bill of
exchange directing the New York bank
named to pay Thomas Warner SIS. Into
whose hands tho draft was delivered is not
known, but it turned up at the German
national bank of Denver. which institu.
ton sent it on to the New York bank
named for collection, directing the latter
to pay IS, 500 to the Metropolitan national
bank of New York. This the American
exchange bank did, and the Metropolitan
transmitted the amount to Denver. The
German national bank of Denver has re-
fused to pay back $5, ,4s5 demanded
by tho American exchange of New York,
and the latter has brought suit to compel
it to do SO, and an attachment has been
issued.

TROUBLE In THE FAMILY.

What Ii just Now Making 1t Lively
Among tho SrnlWnFts.
A special dispatch from this city to tho
Philadelphia Times says "War prevails
among the StalWart leaders over the re-
fusal of A. Herr Smith, candidate for
Congress, to pay the assessment levied
upon him by the county committee, and
threats are indulged by Chairman Shenck
to retire him from the ticket if he does not
pay up. Smith alleges that the assessment
of 81, 900 is ex0rbitant and says he will not
pay more than half of it. In 4 previous
campaign, when Smith was q candi-
didate the assessment was 81, 500 and the
samC trouble existed then, and an effort
was made to force him off the ticket for
refusing to pay. Smith stood his ground
and the committee was obliged to yield.
This time he is said to DO equally firm.
Erb, the candidate for jury commissioner,
it is reported, has taken ground with
Smith and declines to pay Shenck's as
sessment, and they talk OF putting him
of, too, and substituting Wood. his COM
petitOr at the spring primaries. 1t is
known that the Stalwarts are hard up for
funds, having expended 81, 700 in payment
of poll taxes, and Beavers recent visit to
this county cost them at the rate Of $40 a
day:
"There is hard feeling between Chair
man Shenck and Commodore Hiestand, OF
the Eraminer. Shenck was candidate
for county solicitor at the primaries, but
was sacrificed to save Stehman, the Came
ron candidate for senator, Shenck yielding
at tho price of his election a. chairman of
the county committee. Hicstand, COch-
ran and their cOterie growl at Shenck for
his action in securing the appointment Of
his father and brother as election super
there is no telling what will be the up

Terrible Accident .s Royer,s Ford.

A terrible accident happened at the stove
works at Rogers Ford, Montgomery
county. A son of the foreman was en-
gagged shifting some betting on one of the
pulleys when he was caught up and
whirled around three times and then
thrown violently to the floor. The space
between the shafting and ceiling was
scarcely over foot. One of his arms was
torn to shrods, one eye gouged out and his
jaw terribly dislocated. It is supposed
he is also injured internally. There are
small hopes of his recovery.

An Effort to Lift tho Debt.

An active effort is being made to pay
the debt owing Dy the Young Mems Chris.
tian association of this city. The mort
gage and other debts against the associa-
tion amount to about 1000. As an Off
set against this the real estate
owned by the association is worth
about $4,000, and tho library, fur.
niture and fixtures are worth about the
same. A number of public spirited
gentlemen desirous of liquidizing the
debt, have subscribed sums ranging from
$500 down, the total amount subscribed
being about $4,000. Subscriptions OF
81, 800 moro are needed to free the society
from debt. There is NO doubt this amount
can easily be raised, as the subscribers
will be amply secured from loss,
the plan proposed being to give
each subscriber pro ratio interest
in the property of the association,
50 that, should it ever disband or be di.
verted from its present purposes, the
property will revert to the subscribers.
It is believed, however, that the associa-
tiOn will be perpetual. 1t occupies an i'm
portant and useful field. While there are
hundreds of attractive places calculated
to lead the youth of the city into bad
habits, its free reading room is the one
public place in the city where they can as
semble day and night for mental and in.
tellectual improvement.

WILLIAM PENN'S CnaRrEU

A SOggestaOn for the Transfer OF the OrixI
nal Document tO independents Hail.
The following communication from
Prof. j. p. McCaskey, principal Of the
boys high school in this city, appears in
the Philadelphia ledger, and its recon-
mendatiOns will be read with interest
MR.. EDITOR The original charter Of
Pennsylvauia-the identical document
which William Penn received from the
hands Of Charles the Second, after many
months Of weary waiting, uncertainty and
vexatiOus delays still to be seen in an
excellent state Of preservation in the Office
Of the secretary Of state at Harrisburg.
The entire charter is written in a single
paragraph, which is carried along through
four large sheets Of parchment. These
are placed side by side and framed solidly
against the wall in the small office of the
deputy secretary-the most interesting as
we'll as the most important historical dOcu-
ment to be found in America, with tho
single exception Of the Declaration of In
dependence, for which it prepared the way,
antedating this latter document by nearly
ono hundred years. 1t may be examined
here with tho utmost satisfaction by visi.
tors. Even those who, knowing its history
and the moulding influence it has, in the
providence of God, exsrted upon our
American institutions, wonder at its we'll
preserved freshness as they stand before it
with q feeling Of reverence for the re-
markable document.
Imagine . fire tO break out suddenly in
the Office of the secretary Of state. just
west of the capitol building, in Harris
burg. Nothing could save the precious
document from destruction. What insur-
ance-though It wers for milliOns-cculd
ever make good the loss to Pennsylvania,
to the United States, to the world, waking
more and moro to an appreciation of its
meaning and its valu3 ~ a factor in the
progress Of the Iaoe. IL siloull NO longer
be exposed to this probability Of destruc.
tiOn by accident, but should be removed
to Independence hall. in Philadelphia, and
there be open to the publ: vh.w, under
plate glass, on tha four sides y: the best
1reprOcf safe that can be produced,
properly constructed for its exhibition and
preservation. 1t would there be seen
yearly by a thousand times tho number Of
persons who now inquire for it Oh Capitol
Hill. 1t would there become an educating
influence in tho line Of patriotic impulse,
and tempt to inquiry into its grand his
tory. The Bi-Centennial association can do
no better thing than leave in Independence
hall such fire proof as is here proposed, as
q souvenir of this memorable anniversary,
In case of their inability, after careful OK
animation into the matter, to secure such
transfer of the charter to Independence
hall, probably some citizen or citizens OF
Philadelphia Of wealth and public spirit
may have influence sufficient With the au-
in the case to effect the transfer.
Our National Hall of Liberty would thus
become in still greater degree the political
Mecca of the human race,
